Got a new scooter

Saturday, my girlfriend and I when to St-Eustache flew market, one of the biggest flew market in Québec. I was able to find the exact scooter I have. It did not have any battery and no motor. It  is the new version of the one I have. It has a place to put a bicycle seat! I bought it for 10$, I did try to bargain but that lady did not want to do business. The wheels are in very good conditions! They are worth 24$ for the back wheel and 19$ for the front. The frame is also wider and does not have this metal container. I also find a other electric scooter that I already have. It was more expensive and missing parts. It was 35$ and only had one 12V battery and it a was a mess.

I also saw some brand new scooter like the one I got for 10$, they where brand new for a 100$ and the where suppose to go 15km/h. Mine will cost way more and go way faster! 🙂

Here you can see how wide the frame his. I can not insert the battery in the frame I have right now. By the way, I will not use lead battery in the final scooter, this is just for testing.

The wheels are also different. The back wheel seems to have a better incorporation of the back break. The front wheel has holes in it.
