That said, I will probably sort an adapter out and get the engine running before then as I'll need something to keep me tinkering...

I've woken feeling that I may use this first for the soapbox and bin the scooter idea off (or at least re-engineer that thought) then add the motor to this later (and by later, I mean next summer) - the trike has everything for the soapbox there and just needs dressing up. So this might become...

Hey fellas and fel-lasses. First post here, be gentle. I've got a bit of a project going over on another forum (but I am of course happy to share it here) but before I copy all that over, can anyone tell me how (or indeed, if) I can run 2 'fatboy' tyres/wheels side-by-side and drive them? I'll...
