You think? I can’t see why it would be more fun than a scooter, and the riding position with the handlebars that far forward might be awkward.

I haven’t ever been on a scooter so I can’t really give a opinion, but I had a kick scooter with the big wheels (maybe 16 in) when I was a kid and I rolled over anything on it.

I definitely see why you put it here, but I’m a sucker for anything that has a motor so I’d ride about anything in this category with no shame :grin:

You’re just supposed to be accelerating so hard all the time that the weight balances out

thank you so much for the smile … reminded me I’ve done worse… from an old confession post :joy:

I’m quite proud of the frankenstein post-apocolyipic style of my ‘will last 1 ride no more’ collection of old china bits build :joy:


yup that is some of that green gardening wire and hotglue :grinning:

Man that’s something else, I love the assembled crap bolted to the bottom. I had pulley bolts that stick out 30-50mm from the wheels on all 4 wheels, and the jagged metal of the rulers poking out from the deck, so my group of acoustic friends have started trying to work out if it’s more ‘weaponised roman chariot’ or 'stealth mad Max’s

Ahhhh I’m also a big big fan of this. No more ewaste, just add jank and you’ve got another board. Also a small bit of ABS dissolved in some acetone will make a slurry you can use to at least partially bond or seal that suture

Two tiny esk8 you strapped to each foot in an interesting idea, unexpected functionally way to carry two boards.

Riding 2 boards actually, not carry.

Box with battery and propulsion, sounds familiar.

Electric. Land. Skis.

Say it with me now.
