removed the floorboard, squeezed the rear fork or whatever to allow the chain to fit.

Wheel mounted up good, and the chain didnt rub on anything.

Here it is all finished, I welded the floorboard as the seat.
It was a fun project, it actually drove pretty fast, Ass dyno says 3-5HP @30-40MPH? it went almost as fast as traffic did on the street. It was a bitch coming to a stop, The plastic rims and shitty rubber brake pads were not designed to go that fast or to stop my massive ass, They consequently fialed and melted, so i just did it old school and used my shoe.
It could do a mean burnout, then one day i was riding it hard and the rear bearings took a shit and the wheel fell off on the street, to say the least i limped my ass home. Never rode it again. it collected dust and rust for a year and finally was sold as scrap metal.

I've had one of those old dyno scooters up on the garage ceiling for years. Bought it at a garage sale for $10 and haven't gotten around to destroying it yet. Good work, Ghetto D(elicious)
