Default Tire Shake problems

No not my car The Wheelbarrow/Skateboard contraption the boys made. I gave it a try tonight pretty cool ride but it gets a pretty violent tire shake around 25 MPH. Any ideas o how to solve this problem?

We have a new family that just moved in, the mother and her toddler (mother looked overprotective BTW) I could just see her mind at work Oh my this is a bad influence on little Billy.

Take the tires off your SS that will stabilize it!

Are there any adjustments on the bearings? Can you feel whether the wheels are loose or not? Could be bearings/whatever the bearing rides on is worn out.

You know... Nitro Dave makes a tiny nitrous kit for those pocket bikes. I think you should have him fab one up for this thing you got, along with one of those small lawnmower engines...
