    Whats actually out there in the world of bigwheel scooters? Looking preferably 17 inch wheels, and not an exclusively new model.

    Since your probably thinking 'WTFs this tool on about', well im on about sticking some wheels off an ER5 onto it, along with the swingarm and shockers. Essentially chop the old engine out, and weld up some mounts for the new swinger :D

    Some of you may remember me talking about putting an rm85 crosser engine in a zip, but that never happened

    MBK flipper! Treat it like a nitro and go! I'm reliably informed that the handling is great. Lots of space up front to fit a Nitro radiator too. My next project when I get some money.

    that's because theres hardly any about, that's why im keeping mine :) rare :)
    would be interesting to see a different ped converted to big wheels if that would even be possible

    was, had a lad put down a non refundable deposit and he was meant to pick up yesterday, didn't turn up. well im £30 richer. doesn't want it now apparently because hes got a rox apparently. around that price, swapping the panels and indicator lense as ive scratched them and cracked indicator lense getting it into garden, it needs front brake doing and other small shit that I cant be arsed with/don't have time for, considering selling but if I took it to work could have it all done within 3 months atleast :rolleyes:

    only considering selling at mo
