Great video, thank you for all the detail. My husband and I will be in cabin 1022 next year. My husband is in a wheelchair too (he is a C5-6 SCI and is in a power chair) and he always travels with a mattress overlay, that we put in a wheeled tote. You never know how hard the mattress is and it really protects his skin.

That seat along with the foot rests, at least in my view, makes this bike a great candidate for this conversion.

Well, first off, if I did it this way, the number of splinters I would get in my butt would turn me into a porcupine. 🤣 Next, if I did it with no shoes on, my toes would be a bloody mess. I am way too invested in self-destruction. lol

That’s a cool bike. Hearing that spinning I now understand why my rear wheel on my eBike has the motor on it, my added weight stops it from spinning. If you can install a skinny bike rack on the front you could add something for weight over the front wheel.

Almost threw it away...

Thank you for this video I'm definitely going to give it a try. Stuck indoors due to broken lift.

Great project! What kind of range are you getting? I have an old handcycle that I'm getting too old to pedal, this looks like a simple enough conversion.

Such a great, sweet video.

its spinning because it is in front of the center of mass and trying to pull. it would be better if the back wheels were the powered ones. then the force would be behind the center of mass and be pushing and also have much more weight on them, it would stop the spinning. you would have way more acceleration and torque

By far the coolest E-bike I've seen. I'll place an order for the fat chopper edition. Thx 🙏

Wow that thing is so vicious, way better than a regular mobility scooter.., it has a low center of gravity which improves the handling, the only upgrade i would do would be to put a motor on the back wheels were most of the weight is distributed, making it all wheel drive so the front tire wouldn't loose traction.

Your positive outlook is awesome🙏🏻

Instead of welding those bars under battery you could put there 3x bigger square battery. Would have wayyy better range. But anyways thats great idea. Government should donate those electric kits to every person with disability. Those are super cheap and can change someones life.

imagine how glad the builder will be.! 23 years and the machine now has abetter look

I’m so glad that you were able to change that bike for yourself good going.🥰

Awesome build. For my trike I added a front rack with panniers and rack. It helped out a lot with the front tire slipping on takeoff. Suggestion I also added the torque arms to the front axle to prevent any damage to your fork. Enjoy I can see the joy on your face 👍🏼

I also made a trailer for my bike. @keepupwithspeedy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poDNq5SBnamMqMU and kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3_ShGZ6nc6ijtE

you didnt look on my channel. I made a hand bike like that using a wheelchair and the front of a bike. Later on I got too weak to crank it well so I converted it into an ebike. 36 volts. 500 watt motor with a 1000 watt battery. It goes scary fast. I then added a 12 volt motorcycle battery and added lights and signals to it.

Looks like a ton of fun ! You need some tractor weights on the front wheel to stop it spinning.

Wow thats really cool....nice of your brother to help you out too. Im glad you loved it .have fun and be safe 🙏

Love seeing you with this freedom to get out and about!! My only suggestions, lighting (head and tail/break) and a whip style flag on the back, all for visibility and to increase your safety out there.

I love how the whole family just comes together and makes it happen.

omg that's crazy I never heard of a spinal stroke before. I had this surgery but omg

Glad you are improving it even further. As I suggested to you in the previous video, you need to balance your weight on both front and back wheels. Right now you are sitting directly on the axle of the back wheels, which creates a wheelie effect and wastes power. If somehow you try to push the whole seat forward, it will prevent the front wheel from spinning without traction. If it is not possible, then there is another easier idea. You can extend the back wheels axel (the horizontal rod that holds the wheels) 3 or 4 inches backward.

This is so simple and awesome. You just need to do something to distribute the weight on the front wheel. Maybe the angle of the front fork is too slanting backwards. If you somehow try to slice and make it a little bit straighter, it will do a good job. I know the handle will extend forward. But then you can replace it with the bent cruiser handle, which will be even more comfortable. Shifting the seat a bit forward will also do the trick. I mean this will prevent the wheel from spinning without traction and will save a lot of battery power.

so cool... that thing is super zippy and stable... 5 years ago i wanted a fat tire trike but on amazon they were 2k... i figured i could make my own for cheaper... i was both right and wrong bc i could have made one for well under that... gut i ended spending way more bc i had so much fun building it... i bought a 20inch mongoose fat tire bike so i could lace the rims on the tricycle hubs... then i had a 26 fat tire wheel with a motor for the front... one of the saftey concerns i ran into was the steel slotted axel wallowing out the dropouts and either spinning the motor out or loosening up the wheel enough that it would drop out and normally thats not a concern but with allthe added wheight of the motor it made me very fearful... i ended up installing some tourue arms... i recently this year got a awd ebike a bigniu bg10... i didnt want to have to worry about the same problem on my new ebiek that i had with my old one so i did some internet sluething and found a brand of bike called meelod... they actually have a axel retention solution for powered forks built into the drop outs... i bought a pair... but ur a handy guy and you could prolly built it urself... while ur add it turn ur old forks into "para" lever suspension forks... or something... anyways enjoyed the vid and subscribed... looking forward to your future vids... very cool dood...

Nice wheels Bro. 1 suggestion and anyone who's used them will agree. For $40 bucks you can upgrade to some Zoom hydraulic brakes and be able to 2 finger stop that bad boy on a dime. There'd be no need for the rim brake.

cool . lots of space for a bigger battery ?

I felt the nonchalant pride from you getting on the ebike, hell yeah

So the front tire is bouncing around because of the inner tube and or the rim liner. Sometimes all it takes is to deflate the tube and fill it back up. If not you're going to have to mess with the liner.

Awesome build. You can buy an extension cable for the front motor. Stay safe out there take care and be well.

Dude! That bike is sick! and for something you were going to just get rid of this is such an awesome rebuild!

Awesome !!!

Sweet ride 😊

thats so neat man it could be a market product lol

Was there consideration into putting the motors into both rear tires? Rear wheel drive should help get rid of that tire spin. Throw a 48v 60ah to run both motors and you are gold! What was the discussion like going into the purchase? Also, have you realized it's max range yet?

Really nice one thing we are (maybe) a little ahead on here in the netherlands is how ebike parts have been 'moving' places we see more than a few of the drive trains from them (mostly bosch) being used on other mobility things from 2 wheels to 4 wheels. The variation and adaptations people can now make compared to before and the price levels of parts that can be reused makes for some awesome things i now encounter over here.

Smiles 4 miles, awesome start. So much fun and freedom to be found on a bike enjoy the rides

if you look the tires in front are reverse ..notice the tracks

That's so neat man

Can I ask what conversion kit you bought?

Great project

Sweet build, man! I'd add a three pouch bag behind the seat to hold extra batteries. And maybe rear breaks.

dude this is awesome!

Great video review of the cabin. I'll be on the ship staying in the same cabin and I'm glad I found your review.

I wish u wore that brace.

another youtuber said her surgeon told her that her spine suffered a stroke, however they later discovered that it was actually mal-practice, and the surgeon puncture the spinal cord with a probe " six.eight.eleven by: Kylie Schalz "

Do you know if they updated the door to be automatic door to open the state room anybody?

Thanks for this. Cruising on this ship on the room just next to the one you showed. I was very certain before seeing this that I would take my manual chair, but perhaps the portable scooter I have will work and save me those carpets.

Ive cruised multipe times in many cabins - all balcony doors are hard to open!! I think it's just a cruise thing.
