Smile Driving a beer crate!

This little beer crate seems to be very stable at speed. This clip just makes me laugh and reminds me of something White Hendrix would build. A crate fiddy!
Enjoy!

I have figured it out! You get one of those little 2 cycle scooters. Cut the frame and shorten it where it will fit in the crate. and weld it back together. Shorten the steering tube, and you got it. You would need to add wheels on the inside of the right and left side in order to keep the edges from digging in. The gas tank is already tucked in on the side of the motor. Some of those little scooters will go 50 mph. Or you could modify the rear axle for two tires to stabilize it, and even on the front if you are real ambitious. Just some ideas!
