Started with the rear brake today. Will head to Austria tomorrow after i finished the brake. I think i`ll charge my GoPro, maybe i can get some good footage...

Here`s a picture of the rear brake assembly:

The scooter has about 20km on it, without any problems. I think i`m going to paint it soon...

Here`s a picture of me arriving back in the valley. No pictures of the gravel roads, because i was there alone...

The brake sure got a lot of use:

thats so awesome, though i would be a little concerned on it with my 275# stature!

Cool build!

I used to love going scooting with my kids when they were little.

I've got a neat scooter with large solid rubber wheels on it - I'll try to dig up a picture.
It's called a Xooter - maybe it would make a good platform for the MK2 version...

Post more pics!!

Cheers
Mark

Aluminum for the entire thing would help save some weight(if you arent already going that route)

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

I don`t think i could save more than about 500g, it`s not much steel used...

 

[bftank]

are there any sections you could drill holes in with out losing strength?

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Don`t think so...

 

[fowldarr]

most of the weight is probably in the tires and rims. I'm thinking you would have to find lighter tires. Why not just carry a mountain board?

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

I could use some platic wheels, but i chose the steel ones because the brakes get hot and would melt the plastic ones. And i think they hold up better...

The weight is fine for me, i can carry it without any problems...
