during a sesh i came up with the idea of having a steam powered scooter. the idea being i could ride around on it for cheap.

but having no tools, knowledge, or expeirence with steam put me off

plus realistically i dont know if id want to sit so close to somthing so hot.

i love the car, but i cant see why anyone would want to go any faster than 40mph on a scooter. theyre simply to small to be comfortable or safe at those speeds. the wind blows you all over the place at those speeds.

Actually the scooter would have a maximum potential speed of around 120mhph or so. Of course you'd have wiped out by then. But just imagine racing a bik on a jet powered scooter. I now want to install a jet in a car at some point

lol, ive seen steam powered motercycle/moped thigns, pretty awesome and not real huge but kinda slow, it wouldnt be too hard to modify an air compressor pump to be a steam engine, or a small enguine
