Homebuilt 8-Ft Scooter

Homebuilt 8-Ft Scooter FARM HOME recreation 31-2-41 Here's a picture of an 8-ft. scooter I made. It has a 5 1/2 hp gas engine with an automatic clutch. A belt goes back to a jack shaft and then to the rear wheel, where I put on a pulley from a Whizzer motorbike. It runs and handles real nice. The frame is made out of 1-in. sq. tubing and 1-in. water pipe with 24-in. spoke bike wheels. I made the front fork with knee action and part of an old front end off a girl's bike. The seat came from an old scooter. (Hiram Wilson, 315 Bonnaridge Dr., Hermitage, Tenn. 37076 ph 615 883-1177).
