This was such a fun build! When I found out my youngest sister Lindsay was expecting her first baby, I wanted to make her something special and when I saw the plans for this scooter I knew it was perfect as both of us love scooters. I made a few adjustments to the plan (thicker hardwood for the main body, cross supports attached to inside of rails with pocket hole etc.). I also added a bell on the handle bars and a mirror. I can't wait to give it to her. My 2 1/2 year old daughter isn't sure she wants to share it. May need to make one (slightly bigger) for her!

I know this is an old post
I know this is an old post but this scooter is adorable! Where on earth did you find that cute little mirror? And did you cut out the 2x10 out with a jigsaw or a bandsaw?

So adorable!
What an adorable little build! I would love to know how you created the "wheels" and like the above poster, how you cut out the 2x10. :)
