Default Skootaskate

Just checked out the skootaskate website.

Looks like an interesting toy - with which to bust a few bones.
Expensive for what it is though!

I'm sure it would be easier & cheaper to build than a kart.
And no city ordinances on them (yet) ;-)

.....too many projects..not enough time!

reminds me of the "trailer mounted" engine for a bicycle. i can't remember
what it's called. it's like a trailer you put on a bicycle that has an
engine on it and it powers your bicycle, you control it via a cable and
throttle on the bicycle handlebar. i thought it was a neat idea, would be
fun to build.

b.w.
