has any one here motorized a kik scooter ???
i think its a uniuqe idea and i was going to make a custome scooter any way from a mountain bike front end and a 20in bmx rear wheel so it would be 26in disk breaks front and 20 in v breaks rear. i would not use a pocket bike motor i hate those things they never seem to make enough power and i want the manual clutch so i would use the grubee gt5 i have laying around as it only needs a new jug and piston.
i figure the motor could be mounted horizontaly directly over the rear tire and making the carb sit lvl with a custom manifold.
then run the chain strait down to the rear tire and a 30t rear sprocket.
the scooter would look like the 2 dow in the pics but have mounts welded to the frame back at the rear wheel and they would go up over the tire where a plate would sit as if you were building a rear rack, then bolt the front mount directly to the plate so the motor sits practicly horizontal and weld a curved pipe to the plate that extends to the rear mount so it mounts up solid using the stock mounting brackets.
hard to explain how i would mount the grubee motor to a scooter, everybody imagines the standard pocket bike motor mounted... but i want to use the more powerfull bike motor with the manual clutch so it would lok something like the last pic
given how fast and powerfull i made that grubee gt5 before i finaly killed it, i would imagine that having it rebuilt and mounted on a realy light scooter with 20in wheel would make for a SCARY FAST and torquey ride !
