Painters drop cloth. I left it there to make the drive easier to see since it is black and the room would be very dark and black as well behind it. I also blacked out all the chrome. Getting it ready for the final paint job.

I wonder what would happen if you substituted a small gas engine for that electric motor. Something with a centrifugal clutch. Maybe went with the even smaller rear wheel like on the razor scooters with the skateboard type wheels.

How about two of these on a trike, with the batteries in the basket. Or one on the front wheel. I am fascinated with this thing now. I don't have the contact just right I think I'm going to try springs, but it works pretty good as it is.
with a little more bite on the tire it should work even better.
