It "squats" just a little, from the tires. I weigh 260lbs. and it doesn't scrape (that's me on the Harley on page 6). If it did scrape, I have taller black wall tires for it, or I could just slide the shackles to a slightly more forward position, but it's fine
Thanks! Much appreciated....I had a great time building this. Although the BO is smaller, the talent is much bigger. I've really enjoyed watching EVERY bike getting built. Bike building has evolved over the last ten years or so. I still like simple builds, but I've enjoyed the complex and highly engineered builds immensely. Glad to see that you're still "king" of the doodaddery (that a word?).
I say go scooter, drift trikes are all over the place.Contemplating the drift trike vs. scooter about now...
Already tried it. Not good to turn ANY two wheeled scoot or bike hard. Turn that one to the left, bottom of frame swings right, but didn't scrape, but you will fall off.....It took her a few minutes to get used to it. I'm used to riding bikes with that much rake or negative trail. So when she saw the old man blast down the street and do a circle, she didn't want to be shown up and learned pretty quickly. I'm impressed with how easy this thing glides, and it handles a lot better than I thought it would. Although there is a saying for kickbikes: If it don't scrape, it ain't low enough.I was just checking the action shot of your ride and came up with a possible ebrake... Seems to me that if you turned the wheel hard the front of the frame would drop down. So a piece of say... car tire tread on the bottom would make for a nice abrupt stop. Probably send you over the bars at that... maybe not so great of an idea...

What's that saying? Once you go scooter, you won't go back?
