Ok, Im doing this cause I have criticised Cory's deck so some people will probably like "stfu that skoot is sik as" or "why don't you do a better one". I still have a slight fear if it, or some features of it will be copied but bleh, I dont think anyone would earn millions by doing it. Here's the design:
You might be like 'Wtf wooden deck?' but you would probably agree that the step board isnt really the key part of the scooter, also knowpeds and old school scooters have wooden step boards and nothing's wrong with that.
The key parts are the tubes, unfortunately the only obtainable form of 4130 steel in Poland are 16 inch diameter round bars, which are rather unpractical when it comes to scooter construction, so if it will be made the material would be most likely stainless steel.
The wooden step board will be screwed to these steel strips you see above, and these will be welded to the pipes.
You might have been wondering wtf is this thing. Well its a couregeous idea of a "brake mount module", which would be an alternative to drilling holes through the key elements of the deck and reducing strength in those places. The brake will be mounted into this module and then the whole thing will be screwed to the last metal strip thats holding the wooden board.
And now the key part of my design, the post-folding system area. Ive been thinking about how to make it strong and this is the result. Firstly, the neck and the pipes will be screwed with long pipes, then welded, then the angle pipes will be bolted to the neck and welded to both parts (dunno in which order would it it be done better yet).
So here it is. Im planning to have it done in some kind of workshop that makes like car parts or stuff. I dont think it will be hard to make though, all that is needed is to weld it and drill holes precisely.
Now tell me what you think about it, Id like to hear some possibly constructive criticism especially about the brake mount module and the front area. Please point out all the flaws that you see so I can fix them or improve the design in any other way.
Edit: ehh the pics are hosted on my school server and its either not very stabile or its being shut down on days that are free of school. If they dont show up in some time Ill rehost them.
