Heavy metal scooter 3

This is a scooter my brother and my grandpa made for me. 20" long (the same as a pro model, 2" shorter than Pete's). The deck is made of aluminium (not aluminium and steel like my brother's) so its not heavy at all.

that looks awesome, but ir would be better if you had the bolts on the inside of those bars, so you could grind. how heavy is it?

Ehh, We hardly ever smith grind, it is still possible to do them though. The bolts are not on the outside because the first heavy metal scooter snapped because they were inside.
 
Probably about the same as a normal scooter reinforced with aluminium. I rode it with him today and kind of did briflips on flat landing one footed so it can't really be heavy.
 
it looks pretty sweet but i think the bolts should be boxed in for grind and a cleaner look and why arent the aluminum bars butted against the sides, looks like the aluinum on the sides would dent in if u missed a feeble or something

Because we couldn't get proper sized profiles. The space between the rectangular pipes has to be wide enough to fit the brake between them and narrow enough to make it possible to put the folding mech screws through them.
 
Nah. It's my grandpa who makes them, and they're not worth enough to make him make more. And yes, people would buy it, because they would buy anything.

Man, it's almost like my design which the workshop still haven't got to start with the project yet since august, although mine will have the profile welded to the pipe, and will have a whole new headtube welded to the deck, not an existing razor heattube with foldy.
