Battlecow......(Motorising a kneescooter)

[peteGS]

Nice Yama! A project needs time and money... for me it always seems one or the other is hard to come by. If only we had all the time and cash in the world...

[yamahonkawazuki]

indeed lol. for me since im kinda disabled for now, ive plenty of freetime  but little income.  ive got a huge covered front porch so weather isnt a concern. paint is a thought but thats down the road. i may pull the engine off the cow first week of november ( church has a cleaning project planned in nashville its outside so the cows air tires make it ideal. ) if someone there has a truck ill bring it with its engine on. if not it comes off. but it only takes about 15 minutes to dismount it. anyhoo i digress, its either plenty of time and little money or  little time and plenty of money. tbh i wished i was of the latter group lol.

The stork may be coming perhaps by spring time. battlecow may have a biggert brother in the works.  i have a huffy beach cruiser bicycle. with the blasted pedal brakes. how could a monopod ride said bicycle? with one of these.

i have an older version of this thing. bonus is it has a plate to mount an engine on it. double bonus is i have all but one needed piece. trike frame, check, 6hp subaru, check, bicycle, check, only thing i dont have is brakes. well i do with the pedal brakes, but tbh dont really trust it ( coaster brake) so i dig around for a front fork with v-brake on it. only other thing id have to consider is, the rear wheels on trike frame. idk about their .... erm not sure howq safe they are. plus tires and tubes, lol anyhoo other plan is figure a way to rig this up so it can transport my kneewalker ( household one) on it, so i get to where im going, dismount the kneewalker  and continue my day. anyhooo will updatye that as time goes on. now the cow, hoping to have it thoroughly complete by 2nd week of january. ( my bday) more updates to come. same bat time, same bat channel.... lol. ( jeez i just dated myself on that one.

Going to reupholster the kneepads on my household scooter. the vinyl is going south. cool thing is i can swap this pad setup onto the cow if i dont want the seat mounted. tqakes all of 5 minutes. going to try to keep costs down and get a scrap pipece of leather from an upholstery shop, and do it myself.

Around here I look for abandoned couches.  I'm guilty of pulling over and cutting huge squares out of good 'leather.'

[yamahonkawazuki]

actually considering this option. leather jackets at thrift stores. or something of the like.
