Hello everyone, this time we will discuss how to make a powerful scooter on a Predator 212 CC gasoline engine. This engine has a power of as much as 6.5 horsepower, it can be used to ride on a whole map, not to mention a scooter. So think about whether you need an engine of such power, it can be unsafe. For such a small scooter, an engine of 50 cubic meters will be enough.
The scooter has quite interesting, wide tires, there is no projector on them, they are designed for riding on asphalt, and for very fast driving, and it is possible with such a powerful engine. The scooter looks quite interesting, it is assembled from available materials, not counting the expensive 212 cc engine, which can be replaced by an engine from a brushcutter, a moped or the like. By the way, can you see the brakes on the scooter, did the authors forget about them or did the brakes come up with cowards?
If you are still interested in the project, I propose to study it in more detail.
Materials and tools used by the author:
Material List:
- engine Predator 212 SS;
- old bike;
- two wide wheels (if you know where, unsubscribe);
- Sheet steel;
- corner;
- screws and nuts;
- profile pipes;
- driven and leading sprockets;
- chain;
- bearings for wheels;
- an axis for a back wheel (turning works);
- throttle control knob.
Tool List:
- tape cutting saw;
- welding machine;
- grinder;
- drill;
- a tool for painting.
Scooter manufacturing process:
Step one. Front fork and steering wheel
The author borrowed the steering from an unnecessary bike. Just cut off the standard plug, the author cut with a band saw, but you can use a grinder. Next, another fork is welded here, which is made of sheet steel. The welding seam must be strong and of high quality. The steering wheel will also need to be shortened.
Step Two Frame and rear fork
The frame of the scooter is welded from profile pipes. As for the rear forks, it is also made of profile pipes, “ears” are welded to the ends for mounting the rear wheels, made of thick sheet steel.
You will also need to cut out a part that allows you to connect the steering to the frame. This part is made of two parts, it can be seen in more detail in the photo. Do not forget to weld and the platform for mounting the engine. Here you will need a strong, thick sheet steel, since our engine is quite powerful.
Step Three The foundation
The basis for the scooter is made of sheet steel, we will have it removable. For fastening, corners are used that are welded to the base.
Step Four Painting
We paint all the parts in different colors so that everything looks beautiful and does not rust. The author used powder paint, it lays down as high as possible.
Step Five Assembly and testing
We collect the scooter, install the engine and test the scooter. Although such a motor is quite powerful, it starts easily, by hand. The author accelerates on a scooter rather quickly, although it is not clear what it slows down, because the clutch here is automatic, centrifugal, if I understand correctly.
However, if you install good brakes and the right engine, the scooter will turn out pretty good, everyone will definitely pay attention to you. This is the end of the project, I hope you have found interesting ideas for yourself. Good luck and creative inspiration, if you decide to repeat this.
