you need an old golf trolley for the wheels, and a donor bike.

it doesnt need to be loads of corners but obviously it better with corners. im using a free bmx then used pneumatic wheels an tyres from a sack barrow inside some 10 inch plastic pipe, works a treat.

rossrog build one aslong as you can weld trust me you will enjoy it, plus front brake is very important.
