No no no, I repeat once more, the brake will be installed in that little thing like on a normal scooter, on pin and with a standard spring. The pin will be just as long as the space between the pipes so it will be holded with just the lack of space around it, haha. I can draw it if it's too hard to understand.
And Ive calculated that this deck would be a bit heavier than the whole standard scooter and much lighter than the one Im riding right now.

i really like it except for the wood might take a bit to get used to. it might b good though since wood is super light but i still think 1/16 or 1/8 sheet metal would b better. lastly maybe make the top 2 bolts for the headtube a little higher for more leverage and strength.
and the headtube is wider than teo bearings with the spacer in the middle so custom spacers would still be needed on the outside of the wheel
i tried to modify your design if u dont mind to fix some stuff (like now everything can be welded) if u like use it if not then i understand
top rear view
bottom view
and i made it so that riders can still use their own mech if they ride a b or pro that way u wont have to customize or buy a custom headtube. u should still use the brake mount though i forgot to put it in

Here's what is supposed to be a major strength improvement of this design, the neck part would be either brazed (right word?) if possible or welded together two rectangular pipes or c shaped profiles that would be cut at proper angles. The attachment method would be generally the same as on the first version, possibly with four bolts at the bottom.

yea this second version looks loads better and stronger. Make it
Hey Pete, is your sketch in real measurements? If yes, send the file to my e-mail or PM me, i would add my fork + RAD bars (which i'll get soon) to that sketch. And if you send, then tell me the angle of the neck-tube.
(Haha, maybe one of us should draw a headset first)
EDIT: do you do screenshots and paste them to Paint or there's a some "take-a-picture"-function in SketchUp that i still haven't found yet?

Nah, there are real mesurements but I dont think Ill send this to anyone, sorry. Also Ill put either 2 or 4 screws cause I dont want to put one through the weld of two pieces of the necktube. And to export pics you have to open file->export->2d graphic or something like that.
Im trying to have it made by my friend's friend who has a workshop and he just made him a custom bike.

That looks pretty good Madis. What is the point of the tube part that sticks out inbetween the grips?
