I did mine for Build Off 12...There was nothing in the rules about "pedals", back then...It started out as a bike. :bigsmile:...It did a lot better in the voting than I expected!....NICE work on yours!! https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/trot-rot-hot2trot.104042/

1/4 mile strip...sitting on top of a 1/4 mile 4 lane oval....Cars do the 20 feet under 1 second.

HO (1/64) drag racing...one of my latest builds

Bought this for my grand daughter..when it was time for my younger grandson to start riding..He absolutely REFUSED to ride that bike...I took care of that.

With nothing to do (self quarantined)..I get to look through my old pics. This was a Rollfast 20" tandem frame..with RED primer and satin clear coat...Extremely comfortable.. A neighbor had two young girls (6 + 8), so we reverted it back to a tandem...I used to chuckle watching these two girls...

Aren't you afraid you'll get one leg stronger than the other...and then walk in circles?..I can't talk about sk8boarding...I do know that if you don't switch legs scooting, you'll tire out....but heh, I'm old.

If your going to make a downhill scooter, deck height should be about 5"+ or so. If your making a "kick" scooter, deck height should be around 2.5 - 3"...anything higher and you won't last very long riding it, your knees and muscles will be screaming for relief in a short distance. You should...

I haven't frequented this site in a very long time...My heart is tearfully broken...Jose was an extremely intelligent man, that never looked down on anybody...I imagine he's joyfully looking down on us all now.

Scary!

Switched to making custom HO slot cars, in my old age...I only do oval track or drag cars.

I'm not active on the forum, much..I do check in occasionally...So here's a blast from the past.

Read everything here...anything you ever wanted to know about "scoots"....Long read, guaranteed to be FUN though! https://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/trot-rot.103176/

I check in once in awhile. Best one I have Made from a Columbia Bike..In BUILD OFF 12

Thanks..After It started working with the WD40..I just took some automotive gear lube and let it soak into the bearings and clutch assembly...Put it back together, and it seems fine....thanks for the info.

I Figured if I had to remove it, I'd better saturate it with WD-40...Well now I can't get it to freewheel....Possible that's all it needed?....

A neighbor asked me to check out a used Schwinn trike....It looked brand new! Nubs still on tires...She rode it, liked it, asked me my opinion, I said I'd buy (price:$125)...The only rust was on the drive gear.....She rode it today and it started free wheeling, then it would catch....I've got it...

Just when you think he "can"t" out do last years bike...He DID!

Rolling art!

Life and health keep getting in the way..haven't given up yet.
