“The front end of the scooter came from a bicycle and he mounted a bicycle seat on the frame. The engine was fitted with a 2 1/2-in. pulley that belt-drives the rear wheels. “The rear wheels are mounted right up next to each other so that the belt rides between them. The scooter has a small pedal that you push to tighten the belt via a wire that runs to a small idler pulley. Another pedal connects to a wire that runs back to a board that pushes against the rear wheels to brake,” says Yoder.
The scooter cruises at a top speed of 20 mph, fitted with small 9-in. wheels. A pvc pipe fitted with a removable cap serves as a toolbox. Total cost of the scooter? Just $35.
