Default Re: A little different, Husqvarna 208cc in mobility scooter

Ha! a 3x3 scooter! That'd be a talking point! LOL.

I'm in the city so everything is paved and I'm not worried about not enough traction. I do have a solid axle so I had a small concern about too much traction making turning difficult but it seems fine.

No updates yet, been on vacation and now I'm "Working From Home". I'm actually at the beach. The family is on vaca on the first floor while I'm in the business center on the top floor working. I'll be here a week so hopefully some progress will be made the week after.

I did have a test run though! My son and his buddies (all 12 year olds) decided to tie a rope to it and pull each other on it with a bicycle. I hadn't considered that and the boys loved it but the bolt that holds the rear tires onto the solid axle were not fully tightened nor were they blue-loctite'd yet... The cart made it up and down the street probably a dozen times before the right rear decided to go wandering away...

I put the wheel back on but the bolt was MIA, so no more test runs till I get some more 5/16ths bolts. And tighten them. And blue loctite them.


----- edit -----

And one more thing, the front is independent suspension! The back had a swingarm and it's a hardtail now, but the front is independent! So cool. Anyway, I'll opt for the additional stability the 4w version has rather than switch to a 3w version. That's the biggest reason I didn't start a project like this earlier than now. I am certain the 4w version is not going to be stable enough for some of the stupidity I'll do but the 3w version won't be stable enough for any of the stupidity I'll do.....
