It also rides on our little parade buggy that I made out of a mobility scooter chassis that has a “cabinet” mounted on it made out of plywood and deck railing (legs). I hide under the cabinet behind black cloth curtains to operate it. I still need to rig up a way to motorize it so it’s operating while I’m going down the street.

Thanks for the info. Your parade buggy sounds too cute! I imagine folks will be surprised to see the sewing machine in motion without a visible operator.
