Updated 07/01/2008: Fixed rear wheels to turn correctly and a bug that caused and error for those using testing cheats enabled. Recolors will also no longer change back to the base color.
I've started this a few months ago and put it aside because I couldn't get the poly count down to something reasonable, and I also needed a good sound, finally I got it working with a reasonable poly count.
The face count is 5114 but it does span over 2 tiles so it isn't to terrible. If you don't have a lot of memory for your game this may not work good for you. I had no problems with 4 of them on a lot at the same time. You have to forgive the missing section of the actual blade as that portion would make it way overboard for face count.
It must be placed on terrain to place it on the lot and is found under Hobbies/Misc for $2500 it does not depreciate.
Issues:
Sims may get on it backwards or sideways, you have to play with the placement to get them to ride it properly. Sorry I haven't figure out this problem.
The sound does linger for a minute or so after they stop riding. I decreased the length of the sound but I just coulnd't get it perfect.
It is controlled by an NPC controller and if a Sims is riding it when you close your lot it will disappear next time you enter that lot. Maxis has coded the game to remove any active NPC.
I have place this in Object Mods, for those that don't understand what a hacked object is, let me explain. A hacked object is an item that has been coded by the creator. It isn't hacked to cause problems for your game, the hacked term is a little scary to some but it really doesn't mean anything bad in this case.
I have created a base game compatible version that should work for any combination of EP and/or just the base game. Please download the NoEp version if you do not have Free Time.
The Free Time version gives Sims Enthusiasm for the Outdoors.
Both versions Sims will gain Cleaning Skills when riding it.

Beck's Policy
Not finding something you know I created? Please check www.affinitysims.com, I am working to have all of my creations posted on that site. I do not want to waste space at MTS2 for items that do not have star quality.
I personally don't agree with personal policies and would very much like to see all policies be controlled by the board that items are posted on. It would make life so much easier for everyone. It would also eliminate the selfish/self center creators that have done so much harm to this caring and sharing community. Not one creator that I know of is able to do these things without the help of Maxis, Simpe, SimPE plugins, CEP and all the great tutorials available.
Just in case someone wants to know my feelings on it...it is as follows:
You may use my creations freely. The only request I have is that you do not claim them as your own and PLEASE do not post on pay sites.
You may include them with you lot creations if you so desire. :)
All items are created with Maxis code, and SimPE according to the terms of use Maxis owns all rights to this code.
Most of my meshes come from remeshing maxis items or can be found in the 3d mesh of unknown authors. If you wish to remesh any of my meshes you are free to do so. You may also include them with your recolors.
I do this strickly for fun. If you find anything wrong with my creations please let me know and I'll fix them if I capable of doing so or will at least post the problems found. I don't want to post junk!
