Hello builders, artists and makers,
In the first few minutes of Force Awakens I knew what my next build would be. Here is pedal powered, tandem speeder meant to reflect Rays speeder early in the movie. Behind the front grill is a 100watt speaker that offers mobile music. The rear rockets are two infinity mirrors and the flaming hood ornament is the rebel alliance insignia. Everything is custom build and the design was based on pictures I could find for basic scale and practically (such as making it wide enough for stable travel. The basic frame and overall materials is thin gauge steel and the main body is sheet aluminum. There is enough counter weight in the front to allow two adults to be suspended off the back “rockets”. I hope everyone enjoys this passion project of mine.
May the Force be with you!

What the heck? This is fantastic! That second shot looks like it would have been taken at Burning Man!
 
Awesome, that's some great engineering there. Just needs mirrors over the wheels now to make it look like its floating.
