50 MPH Weed Eater Scooter!

Hi guys, my name is Clay. This is my first ever KZbin video! I plan on making some dirtbike and off road videos. Please like and subscribe to help me grow and make more cool videos for you!

[@drew8570]

30mph at best. But very cool!

[@laurenlezynski1733]

Hell ya who needs brakes!!! I love it!!!

[@Endless_Rockets]

Especially when it has a motor fuck breaks!!!

[@mikeyb3880]

Had a front brake still, but not gonna do much 😅

[@str8xrippin]

Engine breaking

[@A_very_tinly_can]

It's like the universe wants me to build one of these! I'm getting a welding machine for christmas, I have an old weed eater sst25 engine and I can wait until a bike wheel kick scooter is available at my local thrift shop! Thank you for the inspiration dude, if I ever go through with this I'll credit you in my video 😁

[@thattacomakid7205]

That means a lot, Thank you! And good luck with your build!

[@abdullatif-fr7vd]

In the mean time you don’t need a welder for this build frfr I did it without but his is fuckin awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[@Matthew-wj8cm]

Very nice scooter! We didn't get razors in Europe, My town is full of M365 Xiaomis and countless knockoffs but no cheap scooters to buy.

[@thattacomakid7205]

Thank you, I got very lucky with this build. The chance that the sprockets would match up with the power of the weed eater was slim but worked out well.

[@englebertsingco5927]

boss how many (cc?) on your engine.

[@fexploder3281]

That's very cool, I think I'd like to have something like that one day.

[@potatohamlin5242]

Nice improvising for the throttle don’t have to worry about hooking up a throttle cable to anything

[@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib]

What the hell, it actually rides about as well as a legit $2,000 Go Ped

[@benjaminhenry9643]

Love the video! Keep it up bro

[@thattacomakid7205]

Thanks Ben

[@MotorizedMayhem48472]

Wow! I did this exact thing with the same scooter except I used a 29cc Husqvarna engine from a weed eater, I put the fuel tank where the batteries where and ran the kill switch and the throttle cable up to the handle and bolted the motor on using scrap metal. I also rebuilt the carb and put a oversized air filter on but seeing how fast yours is, its probably 3 times faster than mine! I re painted the whole thing blue and black and put a new tire in the back with good treads and overbuilt it way too much but it still rattles itself apart! im also deciding on making a youtube vid about it but I still gotta get that thing out!

[@thattacomakid7205]

That’s awesome! It really does 27. But feels like 50. Also would love to see a video of yours!

[@abdullatif-fr7vd]

So in other words your scooter was slower than if you walked

[@user-dz6ux3go5j]

Awesome mate love it

[@Abubakar01057]

That thing is sick

[@kobiefletcher2310]

How do you weld the sprocket on the thing?

[@johnnycash5456]

Awesome!

[@thattacomakid7205]

Thank you!

[@familyfun6167]

Did u have to weld sprocket

[@tristanstevenson1164]

How did you mount the engine to the scooter? Great idea overall. I'm trying something similar myself

[@thattacomakid7205]

I will make a video today explaining the steps on how to build it. I tried typing it out but it was getting confusing.

[@lamarstrickland5990]

How mount motor

[@abdullatif-fr7vd]

With screws duh

[@DJAH0und1]

nice

[@johnanderson6566]

Had one as a kid in the 90s my neighbor hooked it up built the motor out of a chainsaw

[@scottthomas5819]

yes!

[@SUBtrauma]

I'm about to do the same thing with what looks like the same exact scooter. lol. we pulled the electric motor off and threw it on a bike for a school project, and I got the rest of the scooter parts.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

I've been wanting to do this, but this is very clever! Go-peds can suck it!

[@zoebeatz8595]

I'm about 2 start and build mine about to order some parts

[@jacobbrewer1391]

I put a racing pocket bike engine on a scooter exactly like that one. Scary as f#ck. Lol. 30mph roll on wheelies. Super sketchy . Very first test ride I crashed the hell out of it. Easy fix then out to crash again. Total death trap. Love it.

[@onajellejano6645]

What is gear combination sir

[@privilegednpc]

How did you mount the sprocket to the engine?

[@thattacomakid7205]

The sprocket is welded to the weed eater shaft. And the sprocket is from the original electric scooter motor. Thanks for being the first to comment 👍!

[@thattacomakid7205]

The sprocket was welded to the scooter shaft. I am going to make a video on it soon.

[@jamespsyfer]

Nice adaptation! Get yourself motorcycle helmet, gloves and knee pads etc 👍

[@helloall3977]

Have you actually measured how fast you're going? It looks like you're going about 20 mph. But I would still like to know what is the actual top speed, how much gas did you put into it and how long does the gas last you for? I would love to modify my scooter like this so I can go to work in a scooter like yours instead of driving.

[@justinloydz]

No clutch? Is it connected directly to the motor

[@thattacomakid7205]

Yep. The weed eater has a built in clutch system.

[@lecongvina4447]

Good moning you

[@brandonbajc2084]

Theres no way your doing 50mph on that long term if at all. You would smoke the clutch after a mile at that speed. I know from personal experience. I put a 27cc craftsman weedeater MTD motor on a huffy. Smoked the clutch just going around the block and it only went 15mph. So i put a 50cc chonda gx50 clone on it with a gearbox reducer and get about 35mph. Id guess your actually getting around 15mph out of that if you weigh around 150lbs.

[@garyshrum4353]

Thank you I was going through the comments to see who's the first one to say that this kid isn't going nowheres near 50 mi an hour!!???

[@brandonbajc2084]

@@garyshrum4353haha right?! Youd need a 100cc 2 stroke at the minimum to do 50. Not to mention the speed wobbles from lack of a steering damper and the lack of suspension would make you wipe out if you weren't on a perfectly smooth surface.

[@thattacomakid7205]

The clutch has held up perfect. It does 27, but you saw the video so GOTCHA BOI

[@docclock1662]

​@@thattacomakid7205 doesn't look like 50 miles an hour to me

[@johnsmith2.074]

how fast does it actually go tho?

[@thattacomakid7205]

I got it going 27 with a speed app

[@tonkatank045]

Might be able to get a little more power with a different exhaust setup

[@michaellewis9589]

I just made almost the same thing except without a clutch so it's direct drive. You'll probably smoke that clutch really quick riding that.

[@alfredoghost2306]

Direct drive can't coast

[@michaellewis9589]

@@alfredoghost2306 why do you need to coast just stay on the gas. It works really well so there aren't any issues other that having to kickstart it
