Long Scoot?

I love longboarded to the skatepark and such on nice days but i want something different. i want to make a longscoot! ive been thinking about this for a while and heres what i have so far. m going to get two decks, cut them and make them longer, in the rear im going to make the forks that hold the wheel on a whole lot wider and put a longboard wheel on there, im going to fabricate my own custom front forks to fit a wheel too. my only concern is turning with that rear wheel, im not too sure how itll hold up. any ideas or advice would be awesome! thanks guys :D

you cant just put a longboard wheel on the back of a scooter. they are two completely different shapes.

'im going to get two decks, cut them and make them longer'

this is how i know you will have no success.

i mean im welding like a half a deck into another deck. and im trying to avoid more than just 2 wheels. im thinking of a truck that can hold just one wheel but can still flex nicely.

You don't want flat wheels dude, unless you are using a truck. 2 wheeled vehicles have rounded wheels for a reason, and 4 wheeled vehicles have flat wheels for a reason.

Picture of my uncle's long scoot. It is about 12 years old and made by k2. It is 23 inches long and 4.25 inches wide. It has 2 wheels on the front and one on the back.
It sounds corny, but it is sooo fun to cruise, bomb hills, and jump curbs.

I was either thinking the type of longboard wheels that are curved more and arent as flat or making that one wheel truck i mentioned
