Every scooter needs wheels, so let's create a wheel component. Now we've been working in the deck component all along, so it's time to minimize that and create our own wheel component. First we can minimize any folders that are still open here in deck, and we can minimize deck itself.
We'll notice that it is currently the active component, and we can go back to the top level of our browser, and we can activate the entire file. So click that little circle next to your file name, and now it is the active component. Now we can create our new component, so create new component, and we'll give it a name.
We'll call it wheel1, and we'll see the parent. It's selected, and it should be our file name. If it's not, you can clear the selection, and make sure you select that top level of our file name, and click OK.
