yeah dont hit any bumps with that battery placement XD

[@pyrde8982]

Probably couldn't hit any bumps that would damage the battery without eating shit on a suspensionless scooter :D

I remember my late father tell us how happy he was to see me and my younger brother just hanging out together. Many years later, now that I'm a dad, I understand what my dad was saying. I LOVE hearing that my kids hang out together and just enjoy each other's company. I'm sure your parents feel the same way. 😁

At 60mph leathers are a must. I heard that bone grinds down 1mm a second at 60mph. So no matter what at that speed without protection your body will get hurt a lot. Impact protection only goes so far.

[@Dygear]

Do not ... DO NOT! Put water on a Lithium Ion battery fire. The correct answer is sand. And for a battery that size, lots of sand. Think like outdoor garbage container sized, if not more.

[@Fisheee123]

I'm starting to guess that Chay has a lot of blue paint leftover from the bus project and he's building awesome things just to use it 😂

I used to make those batteries from scratch what you'll need is nickel plate, spot welder, heat shrink for batteries and wires, BMS(batter management system and the batteries themselves. Took me about a day to complete a battery pack

[@Arun-fd2nj]

No superfluous measuring, no perfect lines and edges, just purely freestyling it. Thats the best 📈📈

[@savagemako17]

Hell of a job guys. Thanks for the video. This is a theme that pro scooter manufacturers should be striving for. I enjoy some suspension myself, but the most important thing that manufactures miss is the size of the wheels. LOSE those tiny wheels. Just lose them. These are not a kids kick scooter. If you're going to build a scooter that runs at high speeds, you need stability. Bicycles and motorcycles have better stability because they have much larger, heavier wheels. This allows a tremendous amount of centrifugal force to be built up, stabilizing the machine. Lose those 10 and 11 inch wheels and go for at least 15 inch or so. You guys did a hell of a job here. Thank you again for the video.

[@dsmachines9577]

When your first battery exploded, there is a very high likelihood that only a small fraction of the individual battery cells inside suffered damage. you could have bought a new BMS protection board and rebuilt it for significantly less than buying a new battery. Cool video and amazing build!!👍🛴

[@torevenheim9607]

Playing around with this battery is dangerous you have to know what to do and have the right tools

[@Debbiebabe69]

BMS only protects when charging/discharging and balances the cells when charging. That was thermal runaway, caused by shitty Chinese cells from China - 'UnitPackPower' is notorious for exploding batteries.

I built a scooter just like this...same color and probably same motor. Different controller. I know exactly how you felt when your battery exploded. In my case it was the motor that malfunctioned. It can be expensive but sometimes the reward at the end is worth it.

ngl the last line got me! Awesome video

[@evanbrock8172]

This was incredible to watch and I love all of your videos, but as soon as you pulled out the first battery and showed it was from Amazon, I was almost certain there was going to be a fire. I'm an engineer and do a ton of work with electric vehicles and you basically have two options for lithium batteries for large custom projects: put a ton of hours into learning how to build them yourself using quality cells and components, or shell out the extra cash and get something custom made like you did in the end. Anything else is a gamble, especially Chinese packs from Amazon. You blamed the issue on the motor controller, and technically proper settings on the motor controller COULD have prevented the battery pack from exploding, but so should the pack itself. The listing on Amazon clearly states that the pack has a BMS Board, something that would have prevented a (presumably) over-discharge related fire. In this case though, it clearly failed. Sorry if this is seen as unsolicited advice, you're crazy smart but I'd hate to see you waste more money on videos through mistakes like this.

[@christopherosborn7081]

Awesome build, I am glad you were able to rebuild it after the battery caught fire.

[@lukeconner1045]

[@tomas_jokubaitis]

[@heavystarch100]

THE BATTERIES!! TRUTH

[@milo8425]

Relative to their cost? Suspension, water proofing, better controllers, user controls, dual in-wheel motors that can handle the load/heat and shipping.

[@barendburgermusic]

That is so cool! makes me want to build one too XD

[@jesusmaryandjoseph6]

You should have lengthened the handlebars and built a deck with the battery and controller underneath that way the battery won't die if you hit a pothole or puddle I just built a razor dirtbike 2kw and 48v I got my Honda plastics coming in today for it You guys are definitely an inspiration, my next projects are a house pontoon boat and remodeling a travel trailer/5th wheel

Pretty bold covering a motor and battery that have caught on fire with wood lol. Good video regardless.

[@straighouttheshed]

for reference everyone since this guy does not post a parts list to gatekeep easy projects the motor is a MY1020 motor most likely the 1800w or 2000w version. the controller is a KELLY KVD7215N the battery is likely 72v nominal unsure if he got 2 36 and ran series or 2x 72v and ran parallel. all this is attainable for under $1000 bought seperately and can be used in most anything its very easy to setup and is mostly plug and play. for example i have this exact setup in my powerwheels dont think this is grand and extravagant to where you cant do this, ANYONE can do this. its cool and fun dont get me wrong but its alot easier than made seem

[@doghouseriley4732]

There are two takeaways from this. I really enjoy watching young guys being inventive and doing this stuff, it shows a degree of inginuity and creativeness.
