Step 1 The how to

[pogoman12345]

it looks like you could filp backward if you lean back

[average joe 1999]

Then don't lean back smart one...

I did similar kickscooter a few years ago It was November 2001. It was lot of fun but I sold it as my 4-wheel kick scooter is more practical.

[pandaboy292]

by 4-wheeled kick scooter do u mean a fusion? cause i have one and i love it! i put scooteer wheels on it to make it handle sharp turns better.

[pellepeloton]

No, something better. Have a look of this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3-3-fGEeKc It is my own design :)

[sharlston]

is that bike seat kobe?

[pellepeloton]

I don't know. I bought it from a bikeshop. It was quite comfortable one.

[sharlston]

whats it say on the side?

Good job for 13! I have allways though a scooter with a seat would be cool. Nice for a first project too.

Hey dude, good instructable though it could be longer. Great job on welding at 13, though I am eleven, hehe

[smallman98]

[Airsoft_ninja]

[BuilderLoon]

Love it I'm 13 too but I'm not aloud to weld lmao so... i might get my dad to do it =P

[finnster]

Could you cut a whole in the middle and put in the front wheel of a trike?

[nobby_sk8]

put a kiddies bike wheel on the back, add a crank and chain now that would be sweeeet btw good job on welding at the age of 13

[pellepeloton]

This is basically same as, the early predecessor of bicycle, hobby horse ! If the seat is high enough you can kick with both legs while sitting on the saddle.

[shammallamaman]

I love the idea, but you should probably add more steps, in greater detail, i understand that you did it after you made it, it is just a suggestion for future instructables.

[kimroks]

THanks for the tip. I couldnt take pictures while making it I was way to exited to get it finished

[shammallamaman]

Usually when i do something like that, i just grab somethings that look like what i made it with and just do something really simple, without welding, and use that for the instructable

[Brennn10]

Welcome to Instructables! I really like that design! Do you think you could post pictures of the design process, such as the materials, how you made it...etc? It would make this a very top notch Instructable!

[kimroks]

sorry dude, I didnt Take pictures while making it, though its really simple to make, the pictures tell you every thing, For the seat bar thingy I just used a metal tube and for the suppors I used a rectagular metal bar which I shaped with a grinder and a torch, then just weld it all together just like in the pics then coat it with Red oxide wait 24 hours and then You can paint it whatever you like, you could add some mods too, I plan on adding Pedals to make a compact bike.

[Brennn10]

Thanks! I am considering making this!

[alvincredible]

neat-o!

[theatre_tech_guru]

this is awesome its a great idea and for being 13 and knowing how to weld is cool

[worldgnat]

I agree, this is really awesome. Mad props for knowing how to weld at 13.

[bo10000]

this is a great instructible, i made one very similar to this but it was made of wood. yours seems much better!!!!!:)

[GorillazMiko]

Nice work, it looks neat!

[GorillaGrill]

Nice work!

[neverknow]
