I bought a razor type scooter and a 17cc weed eater for five dollars each. I mounted the engine and I am going to put a peg on the shaft for a spindle drive. It is based on some of the scooters on Tzi's website. My only problem is how am I going to put brakes on the front. I don't want to put them on the back because I only have enogh cable to hook it up to the front. The brakes I have are normal bike brakes (the ones with the pads). I have the part (that you squeez with your hand)all ready on. I don't know haw to put the actual braking part on without drilling a hole in the scooter, because I dont want to. The brakes have a bolt in the diddle of thme. You are supposed to put a hole in the metal for the bolt to go through. What can I do? |

I know its not the best drivetrain but i'm just a kid. I don't know that much yet. If I make another one it will be better. If you don't like it say it nicely like aaron.

Either there is a language misunderstanding, or he is just rude. 
Personally, I sort of agree. Spindle drive just sucks.

The motor is from a 17cc wead eater. When I bought it it was not running but I fixed it. I bought it for five dollars. I have changed the drive from spindle to gears.

You'll just have to drill a hole, or get a section of cable long enough to locate them at the back (which would probably still require a hole).

using bike brakes on a mini scooter probaly won't work. You should bodge together some sort of simple brake like what is already built into the scooter. Btw where did you get your motor.
