I have an old Xtreme Scooters X-360, and I wanna do somthing cool to it. It still runs and everything, so what should I do to it. Also, would it be possible to turn its battery into a power generator.

That could work too.
Or you can look at Bassists avatar and instead of that car, it can be the scooter. Get my drift?

I might put the motor on an electric lawnmower whose original motor is fried.

Create a death-machine to wipe out all life as we know it!!! .....Sorry, I’ve been watching Jericho all day long...damned DVR.
But seriously, what I would probably do, is take the electric motor, battery and other necessary components off. Put those pieces aside in a safe place.
Then I would find a small but powerful 2-Stroke and mount that on the scooter.
Eventually I would find a cool idea for the electric motor, but I can’t tell you what you would need it for. As I’m sitting here thinking what I would personally do with it, a few main things come to mind.
First idea, (I’m into boating and I would find this to be cool) would be to make my own RC boat. It would have to be big enough to accommodate the motor, battery and RC components, so it would be fairly large, but with that motor, I think it would be hell-of-a-fast one.
Another idea, because of the torque, I would use it as a door closer. It would take some interesting mounting and such, but I think it could be done. Now before the "lazy mother fucker" comments, I have a reason. If you could conceal it well enough, it would be awesome to be able to slam my door from my bed. I’m sure that as long as you have the room in the wall and know-how on how to do it, you could with only the cable, string, line, whatever coming out. I guess its a dumb idea, but its just one of those things that I want to do.
I’m sure if you really thought about it, you could think of something to use it for, and if you can’t right now, save it, cause you will eventually.

Whats the point of a go-kart if it will only go something like 10-15 mph? The motor in the scooter won’t have enough power to move something that size around at a good pace. Plus, you would be taxing the motor pretty heavily. I doubt it would last much more than a month or two.

^That’s a fair idea
Motors are generally awesome things,
think of all the shit you could use it for if you redirected the circular motion into something else.
Plus it’s a scooter, so you it has variable speeds
Now stop getting RE to do your thinking
