What to do with the metal frame after you assemble the scoot

I did this with less than $20 and a trip to harbor freight

It makes a great work table or a very inexpensive scooter lift if you had motorcycle ramp already. JUST BE SURE RATCHET STRAP THE SCOOTER TO THE TABLE AND PUT EXTRA WEIGHT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TABKE TO KEEP FROM TILTING.

I chopped mine up & made an engine removal stand/ cradle (holds scoot for engine removal) . That thin square tube is tricky to weld!

Just bolted the bottom back on, flipped it on its side and screwed a 24"x70" piece of plywoon I had laying around to the top (side). Scoot sits on it real nice and it is at a good height to work on. Standing the frame upright would have put the bike too high. No straps or tie down but I feel pretty secure with it just sitting on its stand. It would need a hard hit to knock it over.

Thanks!  You have been a huge help to me so far.  Just got a 50cc Thunder for my son and am going through it using your PDI videos.  Keeping it mostly stock but I am unsealing the carb and changing the fuel line and spark plug/boot.  Sealing the electrical connections, changing fluids and adding the magnetic drain plugs...Oh, and valve stems...

I use a lawn mower jack to lift my scooter to work on it. The mower jack holds the scoot real steady if you get the scoot balanced right.
