supplies needed:

2 2x4 piece of wood
-An old razor scooter(or parts from one)
-Any kind of saw that can cut into the wood

-Various hardware(you can decide on this)

-Wood glue(optional)

Step 1: Make Measurements to the Base Piece of Wood

You can decide on length and width but make sure you leave enough room in case of error.

Step 2: Prep for Cutting

Find a saw you can use and cut off any excess wood you do not need.

Step 3: Draw Out Outlines for Wheel Inlets

This part is mainly your choice on how large you want the space for your wheels to be, just make sure its large enough to where the wheel isn’t rubbing against the wood.

Step 4: Drill Holes for Screws

This part you have to be careful when you drill the holes for your various hardware as if they are misaligned, the wheel will sit crooked and you will have a rough time balancing while riding it

Step 5: Bolting First Wheel On

In this step, you have to gently bolt on the wheel into the wood. Make sure your bolt is not too long or it will stick out and could act as a hazard. You also need to make sure there’s spacers with your wheels or whatever kit you use or the wheel will shake around and move on the bolt.

Step 6: Bolting Front Wheel On

Same process on other side. Bolt on the other wheel to have both wheels on.

Step 7: Mounting Handlebar/handle.

This step is completely optional. You just bolt on both handles to have full control of the scooter.

Step 8: Summary

Overall you can use this as a 2 wheel skateboard as it will probably be easier to assemble for a beginner. For the handle bar we don’t have too much documentation of this step as we had to make 3 different designs and even in the end it would have a hard time sitting right.
