Can anyone please help me with some dimensions of Scootamota?  At this stage I need to know the wheelbase.  If anyone can help that would be much appreciated.

I quickly measured it this morning and it's 118cm from centre to centre. Give or take a few mm because the footboard are in the way. Are yyou building a new frame?

Thanks very much for the reply. I am an Australian living in Indonesia, and already have a small collection of vintage bikes and mopeds, but have fallen for Scootamota and am going to try to make one from scratch (though I might just use an electric motor). I have been able to get quite a lot of info and photos online, so can see quite well how it fits together, but I was unable to do proper scaling without a firm measurement (the wheelbase), as trying to calculate from the 16 inch wheel size is a bit hit and miss.  So thanks once more, and in due course I will post a photo of the results :-)

Man alive! Are we about to witness an ABC rebirth? There's Bevan International in Swaffham threatening to make two-stroke Sopwiths, and now there's Vlad in Indonesia recreating a Skootamota! What next, I wonder. I'll be watching this space closely!

Why build an electric replica if you can buy one similar in China?

I believe that Vlad in Indonesia is following the Bradshaw ideals that the joy is not in owning one but designing and building it,obviously an electric one can be seen as a progression.
