Funny I too wanted to build a scoot for a lil off road fun. What I had in mind was a chin bone for start, some support to reinforce the frame in much needed areas, any front disc conversion that was not meant to be slammed, longer rear shock, and two sets of wheels one for road and the other for some fun in the mud. I know for a fact some people may burn us for this thought but a true builder would careless what other people want them to do. Go for it throw on some knobby tires and have fun.

The trouble is that 10" wheels do not give you enough ground clearance for offroading and if you put bigger wheels on the for offroading you have to modify the suspension fenders and probably the frame, then it won't work on the street.

No doubt more modifications is neccessary if you dirt bike it. I love cruising mellow trails though and seeing people trip out when a scooter goes rolling out of a trail throwing mud everywhere makes me laugh. Alot of people here wouldn't be caught dead rideing one of these things. I am chill, when someones got an idea why not encourage them, everyone person thinks differently and thats what makes the world interesting and sometimes crazy buwahahahahaha.
