the cables going into the switches on the right handlebar wires on the left handle bar

I used all the original buttons and brakes on the scooter as switches for the Max patch.  The right brake did not work so I replaced it with a flex sensor.   I also attached an accelerometer on the edge of the right handle to get information from turning the accelerator (x,y) and also the turning the front wheel left and right (z).

I used an Arduino to connect the buttons and switches to the computer. 
I also used 4 car speakers for the audio on the scooter.  Two placed in the front in place of the headlights, one in place of the speedometer and one on the luggage rack on the back of the scooter.  I built four 1 watt amps to power the speakers and connected them to the computer with a Motu UltraLite.

Below are videos taken during the premier of Tinny Scoots at the 2009 FEASt (Florida Electro-Acoutic Student) Festival at Florida International University November 13 & 14, 2009.  Tinny Scoots is still in the beta stage with many modifications needed for the installation to be fully realized.
