Fixed my sisters old scooter she last rode about 30 years ago as a present for her unborn baby.
Was sitting around getting rusty.
I feel so nostalgic, it was my favourite toy when i was little too.

-Grip tape for feet on the way. $8
-White wall tyres from baby pram shop- took about ten hours to google them. $40
-inner tubes $20

Great to see how diverse our interests are in our kiteboading community - nice job!!
awesome
might be able to use mud guards off a 16" kiddies bike
keep it motor free
much cooler that way
Man its so hard finding parts to fit a 12" bicycle wheel.
I found 1 chrome fender on ebay but its front only..
gotta keep digging.
I showed my sister today, she had a little ride around and i got a big hug :)
She can't have it until its totally finished though!
Fiberglass might get you across the line for the mud guards?
Great to see a true retro retro....nice one!
mate that's a sweet present. so much better than just buying something. If you want mudguards you could probably get some ones of a small kids bike to fit. check out the dump. It wouldnt be hard to hammer some into shape/ cut down slightly and get them chromed.
anyway awesome job!
