Well, on a bit of a break from the convertible project at the moment, garage is full of junk having had to empty our old house at short notice, ready for tenants.
Anyway I'm on holiday this week, along with the kids, so the youngest (8) decided today that he wanted me to start a new project for him, and here it is....
Based on his old 6v police bike which he had out-grown, we've cut it in half, welded the front forks together properly (it all relied on plastic mouldings before), made some rails and a steering pivot, and attached this lot to the rear end off the police bike. I've got a nice big 12v battery to throw in which should give approx double max speed, just looking at making a variable speed controller for the trottle grip. We'll be using the centre arm rest from the P6 to make a seat for him, then he'll be ready to scare the rest of his friends on the street !
If its not fast enough, then the rear end will be going in the bin and we'll be making one up using a old mini starter motor...
