Tasty combination of goodies! Is that a toe operated bell?
Yep foot operated. I used that idea on Frankenscoot also.
There's a smooth, downhill street in my neighborhood that I would love to ride all the way on your scoot. Sweet build.
Marvelous!
This is how I got it from the junk shop:
Beautiful end result Wildcat!

Great job! Looks fun to ride.
It is fun to ride. It's heavy but that's why it geared a little lower than a regular one speed. It's just right to cruise around on without being too slow.Great job! Looks fun to ride.
Really nice looking ride. Interesting proportions. I keep thinking it's a 20 inch bmx bike when I look at it.

SWEET! Outstanding attention to detail. 
It was a 26" BMX for my grandson if he ever visited. He still has the blue one to ride.
Nice bmx cruiser size! Love the fatty skin walls on that custom paint frame.
Cool ride!

Turned out nice!
Cool 'outside of the box' thinking with the sissy bar. I appreciate how it follows through with the top tube.

I went through and adjusted everything again. I raised the seat to get a better ride, the frame is 16". Already 99 heat index at 8am but a good short ride.
From my house the street is downhill then goes back up to about the same elevation at the end where the bike is. I try to get enough momentum to minimize my inclined pedaling. It's a workout, low impact but I'm a senior citizen and the bike is heavy.

Nice work. I really like the stance and fat tyres
I think that the sissy bar wrapped around the rear tire is a stroke of genius. I've never seen it before and I commend you for your creativity. Well done, Wildcat!
I think it will work well if I want to pull a skater along.
Lots of cool on this one
