$100 VS $10,000 Jet Powered Scooter

Thank you to Varla for sending out the scooters! I've ridden the Eagle One Pro a TON since we finished filming and I love it - and they aren't making me say that! I've ridden over 500 miles on it and it really is an absolute ripper. If you want to pick one up yourself, you can check them out here: varlascooter.com/LouisWeisz

Glad to be back guys :) happy new year! And since few people have asked - yes, the facebook link is real & in the description! (but don’t worry, this won’t be my last jet project 🤙🏻)

[@micahmcnulty7853]

Happy New Year! I hope this year brings us all happiness and joy!

[@eric5766]

Realy nice video, next time pleas turn the video 180degrees 4:56 😃

[@jtjames79]

So what happens if you point an electric jet at your gas jet?

JET POWERED HYDRO-FOIL KAYAK.

[@funnyyylock]

It's pretty wild that Dave hung up on you. Huge missed opportunity on his part. Strange to not be open-minded in the rc hobby.

[@cloudr.doodle6784]

For how shallow the water is, it still looks like a full lake from the light ground it's on. Kinda cool! So far I only ever flew over the salt flats.

[@Weisz]

Right!! I have so much more footage that I had to cut - fun fact, the salt flats USED to be a lake (in prehistoric times) and it was called lake bonneville! So the title card is a little nod to that history :)

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

There are some incredible photos of this happening at other salt flats and it will look like a giant mirror so people look like they are floating.

[@cloudr.doodle6784]

I definitely gotta visit it sometime when I'm back in the US.

[@Vintoneuler]

I read the title as $60,000 scooter, but tbh your $6,000 scooters better than any 60k scooter could ever be 😂

[@Weisz]

Thank you homeslice! 🤙🏻

[@klicker0]

I was really hoping the electric scooter would win, but it's hard to compete against a jet engine, glad you're back posting :)

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Not sure why this reminded me of Cody Hovland but it did. Anyways good content as always. Jet powered stuff is always funny. When I saw the skimboard I thought "thats gonna hurt if he falls." That did more than I expected.

[@joekyu2517]

dave had more important stuff to do than mess with a deadly scooter lol

[@TheRealestBubby]

That fall was BRUTAL, those flats are straightup salted sharp rocks and the water was less than 2", and the way you fell onto the knees OOOUUCHH. thanks for the dedication of masking the pain to get this video done!

[@Weisz]

Here for the people!! Feet are all better now :)

[@JDority]

Yo!! So glad to help with this!! Absolutely epic time! Whats next 🤔

[@Weisz]

THANK YOU JASON! The salt flats wouldn't be the same without ya!

[@lavilish]

This was super fun to watch, I i hope you recovered well from that injury!

[@Weisz]

Back on my feet! Literally! Hahaha

[@PhaTs00p]

For when you really really wanna test the corrosion resistance of your car.

[@nymalous3428]

That jet-scooter race might be the most anime thing I've seen on this channel. Pretty nifty! Happy New Year!

[@Jim777PS3]

Electric Jet seems a kind way to describe what just looks like an overbuilt computer fan. I'm not surprised the jet engine is so much more performant.

[@mac23806]

Welcome back happy new years

[@NATOnova]

props for the bravery of going back out there with your crazy contraption after that narly fall!

[@Weisz]

Thank you! It's part of the job haha

You trully is having fun, really cool

[@everythingeverett3021]

back at the Salt Flats hmmmmm? I went too early to test my homemade go kart in the spring of 2023 and ended up getting caked in a white crust.

[@nightshade4873]

I wonder if you could use an EDF and have it blow through a Carburettor into a combustion chamber with sparkplugs/ignitors, making a sort of a jet engine, i don't know how well EDF or their propellers would work with increasing pressure but i am curious a.to how such a cobbled piece would perform let alone get developed.

[@MarkoDash]

maybe take something like a street legal dirt bike, mount two jets, one on either side of the tail, and you could use the factory fuel tank plus another one where the engine used to be.

[@cooldog188]

Note: 60 times 10 is not 6,000. But great video.

[@Thefrontdoorscientist]

That’s a pretty cool skateboard

[@JoelCreates]

I bet you were pretty salty after that test

[@Weisz]

HAH - just a little lmao

[@jameshealy4594]

Congratulations, your truck is now made of rust 😅

[@stephen3293]

This video deserves way more likes and comments. Absolutely loved watching this!

[@jakeking974]

Actually the closest you can get to "salt in the wound" is what Mark does to Houston Jones where he LITERALLY throws salt into Houston's open wounds. But I would also imagine that that wipeout on the salt flats probably HURT

[@linecraftman3907]

Can the edf scooter perform once it's up to speed? Or is the drag too much at that point

[@Weisz]

EDF scooter gets fun around 10mph and tops out around 20mph - and the batteries puffed a lil 😂 but well worth it! If I were to do this from scratch, I’d start with bigger EDF’s, and see if I could use a beefier battery (like an escooter battery)

[@linecraftman3907]

@@Weisz 35 MPH is still no joke on a scooter! nasty fall if you find a good bump or a nice pothole. From the video it looked like you were going 5mph :D

[@Weisz]

@@linecraftman3907 do you mean the unmodified scooter? that one does top out at 5mph lmao

[@linecraftman3907]

@@Weisz yep! So it's pretty much a noise machine then 😁

[@azerieth6401]

You make me want to come to Utah

[@nonsequitor]

Noice 😂.... Btw, the underwhelming acceleration / low speed performance is because ducted fans don't make a load of static thrust.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

So, the undisputed winner is the gas-jet scooter BEFORE you put the gas jet on it. Quiet, practical for daily use, and as fast as you would ever want to go. I think you would have seen MUCH better acceleration had you not been turning the two hub motors. That and if the wires of the motors had shorted themselves out while you were going 60 mph it could have locked up the front and or rear wheel instantly causing a crash you would not want to experience. The hub motors don't have much resistance with the wires open, but the magnetic cogging and un-sprung weight were both fighting against the jet's ability to accelerate you from a dead stop.

[@hollytownsend1669]

Hey could you make a really fast electric dirtbike?

[@hdbuild14]

thank you homie 🤙🏻

[@ianbuilder]

No way. I have the exact same scooter AND JET ENGINE (its in my vids) I have a different mounting situation though, more triangles. you beat me too it lol

[@amarkh2306]

Yes

[@JGAF]

this episode reminds me of that scooter scene in boba fett

[@MrDapperGent]

Fascinating

[@Dark-6678]

I think the jank of the jet scooter is smart, the person who made it probably didn't have enough money to get all the jank fixed so they skimped out on it and the jet got all the money

[@Weisz]

Jank one is secretly my favorite :)

[@pepperidgefarmremembers6350]

[@lenardgor]

[@Sorpendium]

welp, now I need to see 2 rocket engines on a scooter.

[@Blair_789]

I saw that scooter on facebook marketplace and I tired to buy it back in Jul of 2023, it was originally made by a guy in NC

[@Weisz]

That’s crazy! Does he know how far it’s travelled? Any contact info for him? Would be cool to return it haha

[@evanmendoza9476]

[@kylehaslam2406]
