Goodnight, Mom I'm tired.....*goes down stairs to basement* brush in little circles,flush toilet,*yawn* *gets in bed* .....20 minutes later....... dangit I cant sleep.......*listens to Ipod* I need some better songs on this piece of junk......*throws Ipod on floor*.....too bad it was too wet out to go longboarding.......I wish I had some sort of vehicle that could take some rain for days like this.........I'll try to invent something! But what can i invent that has not already been invented? hmm there are all sorts of odd things that roll now, the trikke,thats cool,ripstik,cool also,bike,the list goes on.....I want something new,a head turner,that's what I want......but I am broke,what could I possibly invent with what I already have?*gets out of bed and looks in closet* "hey my old scooter!" Hey I know what I'll build! A Tri-Scooter!! and this instructable was born.......


              Sorry I do not have any pics of the build but it is pretty self-explanitory........

Step 1: What u need:




  lawnmower wheels $10 a piece from ace hardware or home depot
 allthread with appropriate nuts, as big as u can fit in the ½" copper (or steel if u want) pipe
  duct tape/hot glue (optional) to keep the nuts from shaking off
 drill bit a bit bigger than ur allthread

OK, 2 1/2 years (or more) late and probably more use to any other readers, but...

Nylon locknuts will work - and look - better than duct tape.

And another piece of pipe, used as a spacer between the rear forks, would add a good bit of strength - especially if you use steel - partly because it would allow you to really tighten down on your allthread.

Since this was written all. of those crossed my mind, this was thrown together with what i already had.
