Pretty much Madis and Cory summed it up properly, try to include all of the dimensions next time you design something. One more thing that needs to be said is that spacing the pipes so wide would mean the immediate destruction of the back wheel axle.
Edit: No offense but I laughed my ass off when I saw that 'block' haha.

Yeah Pete thats why tubing isnt so great when its used as two rails like that. Because the edge of the deck that is actually usable to stand on will be at the top point of the tube. Then half the width of the tube sticks out making it wider even though you cant really use that extra width due to it being rounded. And the axle will be a little too long. Your feet may also slip off easier because of the rounded edges. At least they wont hurt your ankles of whips though.
But if you dont care about the tubing being wide and round on the edges then at least design some sort of dropouts.

At least this design is better than the first one.

I'm not a scooter maker or anything, but I'd think just make it as simple as possible. The deck/dropouts would be easy, two tubes and deck, but the headtube would be hard to attach. Well at least harder than the deck/dropouts.

yer just try and make your design a bit simpler, i wanna give a few tips but the only ones i can think of are like the main ideas the make up my design, but i dont wanna say because i wanna make mine, and possibly sell if it turns out better than i expected or better some other designs.

Yea, I want simplicity. And I love constructive criticism so the more the merrier and a better design!!

Thats the way to be man!

Id say to just try and get more detail in your drawings. Mainly of how the brake works, and how the neck attaches. The block idea will either be too heavy or just plain not work.
