Step 2Locate and Dissect a 3-spd 24" bicycle hub
iImage Information

This 3-spd hub I got from an old dillapidated 24" J.C. Penney's bicycle. I think I paid five or ten bucks for it. It was all rusty and everything, all I wanted was the 3-spd hub anyway. First I cut off all the spokes off of it. Then I took off the chain sprocket by removing the split clip on the outside of the sprocket. Then I put the sprocket end of the axle into the drill press hanging down. I then turned on the drill press and used a Dremel cut-off tool, and cut off the spoke holes and lip on the bottom end. Leaving the housing flush, and even with no lip at all. This is done so that the modified hub will slide into the modified plastic wheel hub from the rear wheel of the scooter. This is discussed in the next step.
