ok i found a way to make a dirt scooter using my old a but i just have 1 problem. also i cant do this w/ the lack of a scooter im willin to mess up or a fork. ill be buy the fork from my friend. but i i put a 20in bmx fork and tire do u think that i could get full rotation? i will be getting the scoot i will be using for my dads and ive got the back figured out but not the front 100%, i also might try a 24in mtb fork cus it has shocks.

Hey smarty, are you going to sit like on the deck or something. because the center of gravity is going to be mad high, and you wont be pushing it, you'll be up to far.

there will be a 20in tire in the back and 20 in the front. i have the back figured out fine, but the front im not sure if it will work

That wouldnt work. theres no way you could push. and a 26 inch fork would make it even worse because the front end would be 26 inches off the ground + the stroke of the shock. which would mean the front end would be 28 inches off the ground and the back wheel wopuld only be a 20inch wheel so the scooter would be leaning so far back.

And josh wins. your to high to push.
Not going to work.

Maybe on a bike it is that way, but on a scooter the deck is basically (just to simplify things) where the bottom cup of the headset is. So that's the whole 20/24/28 inches from the ground to the deck. Plus the fork would most likely hit the neck of the headtube. I don't see it working, but try it anyway I guess. I'm just saying I guess.

Nah b. it would be 26 inches off the ground. cause the wheel is 26 inches. its 13 inches to the axle, not to the headtube.
