Great pix and I see what you mean. Perhaps you could do what I do with my 90 lb wife; I just scootch back and put her in front of me...plenty of floor space up front. Our Compagno 110i doesn't have a foot brake, like most Kymcos, so I put my feet on the rear pegs and off we go!
That would probably work for the short rides we take. Unfortunately, I've read several stories of people being charged with child endangerment for riding with a child in front of them.
Perhaps you could get a wide strap and make a simple stirrup to help support his feet. Just make loops on each end for his feet and he sits on the strap across the seat. (Or you could attach the strap to the 10mm bolts under the seat for support )
Very interesting idea! However, I would be a little concerned about his feet getting hung up on the straps in a crash.
Man that's a pretty finish on that scooter!
Love the color.

Thanks! The color just happens to match the open face helmet my 16 year-old son purchased to use on the old scooter. But, he bought a full face hi-vis helmet to use on the much faster People 150.
Yep. Those Crocs are DOT approved! Actually, I probably over do it on the gear. For our short low speed scooter rides he wears a full face helmet, protective knee pads, elbow pads, and hand/wrist protection. And, real footwear instead of Crocs.
It turns out if I still as far forward as possible, he can just reach the pegs. It's not very comfortable for me, but should be okay until he gets a bit taller.
