 That is so cool! More detail please... if you can: how long did it take you to build, did you take construction pictures, how fast can it go... ? I'm in awe, I love it!

The speeder took us about a week of constant building to assemble. We had to have it ready for a parade that was coming up. Needless to say, we didn't get too much sleep that week.
It can go at a top max speed of about 15-20mph. It can get a little unsteady at the upper speeds.
The right lever arm, pushed forward and pulled back, is used to steer the speeder. The left lever arm is solid in its place and gives the rider something to lean against while riding. The brake is also found on the left side.
The "peg legs" for the feet also serve as a safety device to keep the speeder upright so it doesn't take a nasty spill...and believe me, I have done it. LOL
It's a lot of fun to drive and it does get a lot of attention. Most of the time people are more interested in the doggone speeder than they are the costumed troops. LOL
