Mobility Scooters
A mobility scooter frame with steering, wheels and an axle can make a solid foundation for a beginner hacky racer. Their tyres however will wear out quickly, especially on tarmac. Typically use inner tubes. Readily available spares.
Mini ATVs
See LEtsGO
Hoverboard Hub Motors
See CYBR TRK Hoverboard wheels differ from most other types of hacky racer wheel, as the motor is built in to the centre. It is possible to fit pneumatic tyres to the 6.5" hub motors with some careful modifications. 4.10/3.50-5 tyres are about the only size which can be made to fit.
