i currently pay $210 a month for insurance and probably another 100-200 in gas a month.
so in theory i can save well over $300 if i get this and other little projects like it going.

heres what im working with...

it wouldnt let me load a picture of how i plan to send power to the wheels, but basically what im gonna do is modify a bike chain and put the gears from the free wheel on the skateboard wheel and also around that steel shaft on the weed wacker engine

25cc of raw power

if it works it will be slow but still kinda sweet

I would probably go the route of a Moped as well, but even then 9 miles is a fair amount of distance for twice a day.

I used to have a 91 dx sedan. gieco wanted $250 a month for insurence when I bought the car for $100 I'm no rocket scientist, but I felt it was pretty unreasonable so i sold off the car and kept the turbo civic under my parents name and I pay $210 a month now. The civic is also for sale now. The goal here is to get rid of all my silly little expenses

I would do a bike instead

thats a better idea, the ride will be more comfortable, safer and you could prolly have multiple speeds if you got a mountain bike to work.

Your hospital bills from eating shit when you hit a pebble a mile or two down the road will make insurance bills seem like pocket change.

but i'm with the others....re think the skateboard thing, say it goes 30mph (which i doubt it will, maybe i d k) and your trips is 9 miles, thats about 20 mins there and back.....kind of a long time to be on a skate board
