I had this little 2hp briggs & stratton laying around. And after a couple beers and some joking around we got an idea. I mounted the 2hp on a bar stool and some square tubing. a quick trip to TSC and i had four wheels at 5 bucks a piece. Stole a clutch and sprocket off an old mini bike and we were Wheeling in a couple of days. lol

I wanted to keep it really narrow so it woud be a challenge to stay on. I swear i have never laughed so hard just watching people trying to ride the damn thing.





I couldnt believe a 2 hp would need a wheeling bar.

Its surprised me actually how stable it was for as narrow as it is.

They can be easly built for under a $100 bucks if you have a motor laying around. I think the stool was the most expensive piece at $39 at meijers and its just unclips so i can still use it. I have about 5 or 6 friends that have all ready started there with bigger motors.

I just need to figure out where my beverage holder is supposed to go :P
