Here is the bi-product of boredom.
Story is, my friend found a electric scooter (used for handicapped people at grocery stores) otherwise known as a "Rascal" at an abandoned house down the road from my house, he came back on my crf50 and got a rope and towed it back to my house with the 50. After we found out the batteries were bad in the cart we decided to put the motor out of a dismantled pw80 I had in the backyard into the rascal.
3 days of welding, grinding and cutting, and here it is...
Sorry for the shitty pics, my iPhone is all I had. I wish I had taken pictures of the build process, but when I'm in build mode I barely stop to eat, let alone take pictures.
All the material and parts used were laying around the house, I'm into this thing $16 for the chain roller I bought and a spool of mig wire.
It does around 40-45 with the new sprocket, the old one about 30mph, but it would do wheelies from a dig with the old sprocket on it.
I don't think in any way this is an engineering masterpiece, it's meant to be funny, it just so happens that it is a blast to ride! Flame away if you want...really its okay.
Now theres a ripper vid too:
