Garrick got a great electric scooter from the Grandparents for Christmas. It lives at Dad's house, and Dad uses it when nobody is looking. It felt like it needed a small upgrade of sorts....
I dug an old bike rack out of the shed, and took the scooter to work for minor surgery.
This is gonna be too easy.
Whip up a quick adapter gizmo.
...and bolt it up underneath the deck using some existing bolt holes...
That's pretty much all I had to do, everything else just bolted up as per a bike installation.
Despite the steep mounting angle, it's still extremely rigid.
...and has more clearance than the underside of the scooter itself.
A standard milk crate straps in there no problem.
But the real test came from a pizza run!! 3.6km round-trip, 15mins including pickup and paying. Large hill between my house and the pizza place, so it got a solid workout up hill both ways. (Prior tests with Garrick show it's got a 9.5km range on flat terrain)
Success!! No cheese on the roof of the box. No smushed pieces. 2016 looks like it's gonna be a great year for pizza. :D
