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.

-Powdercoat Lemon Yellow (mum and other sisters colour advice) $100 (discount from 150) A class powdercoating cheltenham Vic.
-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
- Original hand grip

unfortunately missing original mud guards.

Great to see how diverse our interests are in our kiteboading community - nice job!!

Thanks bud, feels great to give it a new life :)

Will start looking :)

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!

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!

thanks man,

Spent numerous hours searching online and i think i found the fenders i need.
Trying to get the company to ship me some spare parts (the fenders) from the states.
