Electrical scooters don't get the credit they deserve. They provide the fun of traveling on a scooter, while also taking the physical pressure off of the body. This electrical scooter is even more useful than the regular ones due to some crafty innovation.
What do you do with a scooter that's missing its front wheel? Well, you throw on a skate and transform it into an ice-traveling machine. Ben Nelson shows you how to make an everyday electrical scooter into an ice scooter in just a couple of easy steps and with very little supplies needed.
While we've seen scooters that make use of small skis to traverse the snow, this is the first time we're seeing anything that lets somebody safely travel on ice.
