Ben Wilson, a UK-based designer, created a wooden scooter as part of an educational project. Recently, 12 children not only constructed 12 wooden scooters by incorporating Wilson’s design but also gave them a personal touch by custom painting them. It took nearly five days for the kids to shape the designer’s creation into reality.
This exciting project gave the 14-year-olds a great opportunity to learn a skillful art in an amusing and creative manner. What was more interesting to see was a race that was held to celebrate their efforts and test out the scooters. This unique and fascinating DIY project can be tried out at home and is sure to gain popularity among people of all ages.
Beautiful, no doubt, but I am most curious as to how it rides. I have read that similar wooden framed bikes are like riding ”rubber bands” and that they simply aren’t stiff enough for the bike to feel substantial underneath you.
I would love to see something like this produced for sale.
