Scootertiller
This is our first prototype of Scootertiller, a project my son and I built.
The seeds for a project of this sort started for us last summer at a car show where we saw some cool wagons. They weren't motorized, but they were cool designs, and we thought we would try to build something like that. Except we wanted a motorized vehicle (of course). Our original plan was to rig up an engine on a Radio Flyer wagon.
I started looking into engines and go-kart kits and found that such things can be very expensive. We found a Ryobi rototiller and we had a plan to use it to build a powered wagon. We were about to buy a wagon for the purpose when we stumbled into a three-wheeled scooter contraption. We took a look, thought about it, and decided to scoop it up.
We yanked out the front end of the scooter and shoved the rototiller into the vacancy. A few welds here, a few bolts there and viola, Scootertiller!

Maybe as a next project they could build one with a little Jet engine.
( I was watching junk jard wars on discovery where they did something similar today, LOL)

i don't know... it went head to head with a nitrous camaro and beat it... at those speeds.... i'm not sure what part of a person would survive if that guy crashed.
