Hello everyone,
Here is the work on the new revision of the original scooter. The original scooter is very small in length (29 inch). To select the new size of the new scooter, it was really easy. I just place my feet on the ground at a distance that I felt good and stable. Like on a snowboard. So I added around 11 inch for a total of 40 inch (wheel to wheel).
Here is how I did.
This is the frame I found at St-Eustache flea market, one of the biggest in Québec. I paid 10$ for it. Just the frame no motor, no battery. They are in very good condition and normally, when found online, they cost 18$ for the front wheel and 20$ for the back one. So 10$ was a good deal.
I have to go again to that flea market this summer! I will bring my dad, he loves flee market just like me!
Saw the entire frame in 2.
I also made 2 of those plate you see in the picture so I can give tension on the belt with the left end screw. When I turn the bolt, the washer (big circle) is move to the left, it pulls the axle of the back wheel.
To have a longer frame, I will use aluminium L bracket. To mount them to my scooter, I drilled hole in the frame.
Here I cut the L bracket.
I also added other metal bracket to hold all the electronics in the middle of the frame.
Here is the progress. It feels stables when I get on it.
The new 11 inch makes a huge difference!
