Scooter 3spd Chainsaw Belt drive

Step 5Frame modifications

The kids scooters normally comes with the frame hanging low, with a plastic platform, which you stand on. The platform must be removed, and the gooseneck disassembled, and the frame flipped over. This will look like an upside down "V". Reconnect the washers, bearings, etc, like they were originally. The rear brake mount will have to be cut off, and a new wider one made, and welded back on, because the 3-spd hub is a bit wider than the original wheel. The frame will also have to be stretched width wise, a bit wider to allow the hub to mount where it was originally. Drill the hole for the brake assembly. The handlebars will have to be raised to almost max height, because you'll be standing on the rear axle and holding the handlebars at a higher position for stability. You don't want to be leaning or put to much pressure on the handlebars, for safety reasons.
