  11. Now all you have to do is screw the seat sufficiently to the sub-floor.

Motorize the soap box

If you want a motorized soap box, you need a suitable motor first. A small motor, such as that from a lawn mower, is suitable for this. Perhaps you still have an old engine lying around somewhere that you can cannibalize. Otherwise, these are also available cheaply at flea markets or at used markets on the Internet.

  1. Remove the engine from the lawn mower.
  2. Now you still need a gearbox that transmits the motor power to the axis of the soap box.
  3. Now attach the motor to the rear of the soap box and connect it to the rear wheel axle using the gearbox.

And your soap box with motor is ready.
