Abstract
A mobility scooter conversion kit and method that utilizes a standard mobility scooter as its base frame to make the scooter resemble any motor vehicle. The main frame of the scooter is only altered by adding an extension member with a bracket, replacing a first bolt on the seat frame with a long bolt, and reversing the orientation of a second bolt on the opposite side of the seat frame. The first body member that resembles the front of a motor vehicle has a recess that sits on the steering column of the scooter and is secured into place with a latching mechanism. The second body member that resembles the rear end of a motor vehicle is hooked on to the bracket of the extension member and secured into place using the long bolt and a bolt attachment connecting to the reversed bolt.
