Scooters attract many people with their positive characteristics. These include small dimensions, low fuel consumption and savings in maintenance. Therefore, sometimes there is a desire not only to move comfortably bypassing traffic jams, but also to make a scooter tuning with your own hands, thus emphasizing your individuality.
Achieve such goals by external alteration of the scooter, using the following tools and materials:
- a set of keys;
- sheathing material;
- paint;
- primer;
- putty;
- fishing line;
- wheel disks;
- new optics.
In order to carry out external tuning of the scooter, which is different from the standards familiar to everyone, it is necessary:
- set a new sound signal;
- replace the headlights;
- polish plastic and metal parts;
- sheathe the saddle with automotive leather.
Personalizing your scooter will help you:
- an unusual option for painting;
- airbrushing;
- a sticker of a vinyl film;
- ultraviolet light, etc.
However, it must be remembered that all changes and improvements should be not only beautiful, but also practical. For example, an increase in the diameter of the discs affects the operation of the brakes, which are the basis of the safety of each driver. In addition, such a self-made scooter tuning reduces cross-country ability, which is also important. After all, everyone would like to climb a mountain comfortably.
When doing your own
scooter tuning , be aware that not all tricks are useful. So, it is not advisable to install a windshield. It increases the resistance force of the air flow and, accordingly, reduces the speed of movement of the scooter.
It is also worth abandoning anodized fasteners, which reduces the safety of movement. Moreover, such a “beauty” can quickly peel off over time. Therefore, such changes are ineffective and unjustified.
If you want to make scooter engine tuning, then you should not change the variator cover to completely transparent, made of plastic. The fact is that over time it becomes covered with dirt and dust. Therefore, you will not achieve the planned transparency, but violate the rigidity of the entire structure.
DIY scooter tuning is best to start with plastic. Unscrewing the bolts and fasteners, make an external inspection of the entire vehicle. Minor cracks and scratches are sealed or glued with a special composition. You can treat the plastic with sandpaper, and then apply a layer of primer on it and then paint. Do not forget to varnish the surface, giving it an extra shine.
New wheels or painted old wheels look beautiful on a scooter. As with the previous operation, the disc must be cleaned with sandpaper and covered with several layers of soil and paint.
The backlighting is best done with the help of LEDs, because under such operating conditions they are often more durable than other designs of lighting devices. Often light bulbs are located on headlights, dashboard or wheels. The backlight from the bottom of the whole scooter looks spectacular, it creates the effect of “soaring”.
But first, you need to plan where and how the details of the backlight will be placed on the vehicle itself. That is, to develop its design. And then, having already bought the LEDs and connecting them in a chain, fix them on a previously planned place.
In general, tuning a scooter can make it a completely unrecognizable car that can hit even seasoned lovers of sophisticated “devices”. Just attach a little ingenuity, as well as imagination, and you will definitely get a unique and stunning-looking vehicle.
