Good morning.  Here is a quick update to my previous post.  I have completed the additional base for the  scooter and here are a couple of photos.  I think it definitely adds stability to the model.   It's just some scrap cherry ply I had with a cherry banding added.  I used a 1/4" clear plastic dowel as the support.   It's long enough that I can choose the kick stand up or down.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and comments.  I really appreciate it.

Regards,
Dave
