I took the wrecked scooter down into pieces, I got the chassis exposed, it is bend on the corners where the floor meets the triple tree and handlebar, not sure if it is possible to bend it back into position? This is going to turn into a naked scooter, it doesn't matter if the chassis has to be modified a bit, I'm thinking on mounting a motorcycle gas tank as well as a motorcycle seat, but I'm open to ideas on what to do with this wreck, the only thing I have to keep without modifications are the tube where the VIN number is and the engine number, the engine is intact, it didn't take damage, after charging the battery it fired up right away. The handlebar is toast, it is twisted beyond repair, not sure if a motorcycle handlebar would fit, ape hangers perhaps? hehehe.  Give some ideas.     |

I like the idea of the naked scooter if it doesn't cost too much to get it back on the road. It's already tagged and registered so it sounds like the tedious part is done. I think a welder can heat and bend the frame. Just realize the frame loses strength every time you heat it, so I wouldn't carry a passenger on it.

You will need some panels on your naked scoot to keep water and dirt away from your electronics. Velomobile builders often use coroplast (corrugated plastic). You can probably get some from old political campaign signs that litter the sides of the roads. You can attach the panels to the frame with zip ties.  |

I like the ape hanger idea! maybe a massive motorcycle head light, A duct tape seat, use a street sine for a floor board, a full size cherry bomb muffler, a huge cone filter, and some gold rims. Rat Rod it!
