This is why I implied that the scooterchair gets some reinforcing to the steering stem.

The lateral forces working on the wheels of a sidecar are incredible.

Hmm, Kart wheels may be the best way then.

Scooter chair has a steel scooter front wheel on the side, it's lasted two days so far. But yes ideally kart wheels.

Not was I was driving at. The single stem pushbike like system that holds the forks to the handle bars, is where I would spend time making stronger.

At least check to see if it's fatigued, regularly. I honestly expected the bars to twist relative to the front wheel, first time out.

Have you got a scooter with a chair welded on? A guy at speedway had a 70cc and a 50cc scooter and welded a chair on the side of them and held drunken races in his back yard, good fun. Lucky to hit 30km/h, but pulling wheelies and shooting off into the garden is hilarious fun.
