Dolly

As my engines seem to spend as much time on the bench as in the frame of late, I have made this dolly so I can move the scooter around without the engine in situ. Needless to say, it is made from scraps of metal lurking in the corners of the workshop, and I found the wheels in a skip at work.

It comes apart so it can be stored flat when not in use.

The thing that surprised me was how stable it was on the two back wheels: it stood upright quite comfortably, which was very useful when pushing it around the garage. Mind you, it is back on the stand again now.

Sorry my unconventional scooter frame gives so few reference points for you to work out what is what, but you'll get there. My only concern that I might need to build two.

I have made a similar thing Which is also collapsible / foldable when not in use to save garage space. I assembled all of the parts to make 25 of these with the intention of selling them but have not has the time yet.
Here is a pic of the prototype:- the production ones are much better!

Ha ha, it looks like I am surfing behind the wave again.

I like your solution Covboy. it is much neater than mine and looks far more stable when in use. Good work.
