Awesome intro and seeing you go from "I can't drive 1 meter without it falling over" to doing actual donuts and then driving off? Wow, you came a looong way. You have my absolute respect, this is brilliant.

was definatly worth the wait for the video and it was nice being a bit longer, and that intro went so hard!

[@andreworlando7374]

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!

[@NateJones-tk9fb]

You should look into a system called a sea keeper. It's a gryo made to keep a boat stable in heavy waves. There is also inertial navigation gryos that will that will physically fight gravty like used in missles. Your hover board uses a sensor board that senses but is not precise and relies on what ever counter balance you add. There is also ring laser gryos but they dont have the inertia of a sea keeper. Its similar to what aircraft use to navigate.the physical heavy spinnig gryro will go a long way in this application.

[@mickmuzzmkmz1628]

That intro cracked me up! 🤣

[@kevinsellsit5584]

I think you have won! New strong stabilizer bars with 6 inch casters (or even 20 inch bicycle forks and tires) and you're golden. Bravo!

[@gabrielhacecosas]

Try putting the weight as high up as possible, since the bike is an inverted pendulum, that will make it swing slower. I also recently saw a video by Hyperspace Pirate where he uses a free gyro to slow down the swing of a bike.

[@nuclearmedicineman6270]

A man of culture.

[@DktheWelder]

I think if I moved the weight setup like you said but able to control it I could get it to work, I’m doing my best to learn about arduino at the moment

[@gabrielhacecosas]

@@DktheWelder For the system that I tell you with a gyroscope is not necessary Arduino, it is only a wheel rotating inside a gimbal. And if on a small scale it works on a large scale even better.

[@JohnEGoode]

Maybe if you use a couple of sleds in place of the caster wheels it might slide better for you. Definitely a cool idea though. Thanks for the content.

[@West_Coast_Ganbaru]

Absolutely the most ingenious bike build I have ever seen. I am disappointed that YT only just now showed me this video. I have been researching EV bikes for the upcoming project bike I want to do. You, sir, have a brilliant mind and I am in awe.

[@DktheWelder]

It didn’t work very well but the electric motor did, thanks for the comment

[@LordHolley]

Too cool! What a great project. Genius using the hoverboard as a self-balancing unit.

Thankyou! 👍

[@jacekkalemba]

Two contra rotating gyros like in the Lit Motors C1 concept are doing great job. Yes, it's complicated, but result are astonishing. Great work though!!!

[@DktheWelder]

The gyro would work if I made them heavy enough, but expensive to make and dangerous in a crash

[@jacekkalemba]

@@DktheWelder Agree

[@TimM-x2h]

Oh they are Contra rotating? Interesting..hmm i think it was brilliant putting them in gimbals to have total control of them The New LIT cycle is out it looks a liitle different DK The Welder has created the BAT CYCLE!! SO COOL!!

@@TimM-x2h Sorry, I meant contra rotating gimbals like in Lit Motors C1. Check their design and You will know what I mean.

[@DktheWelder]

Haha thanks

[@DeadstreamOrganics]

I just replaced the rear brake lines in my Subaru Impreza, I can’t imagine how accomplished you feel after building something like thus

[@joepeck2942]

I'm new here but holy this channel is criminally underrated! You're like the New Zealand Colin Furze ( hope you don't mind the comparison, even the early videos start with BMX lmao ) Really cool seeing this thing mostly standing, but from this layman's perspective, I think you might have even better success if you shift the counterweight above center of mass and use a custom controller that can be properly tuned. From my experience, PIDs aren't terribly hard to use even if you don't fully understand them haha Looking forward to the next video, good luck!

[@davethedog007]

Excellent video, great to see the progress. Also excellent to see the sponsorship

Your best video yet Dan! Really interesting to see what you have done to get the Cyber bike to work.! Keep up the good work👍🏻

[@broderp]

Consider tying the tilt lever (foot pin) to the steering. I think it may be time to stop messing with the toy gyroscopes and get the real thing that is capable of doing what you need. It would likely be more simplictic, reliable and give the priject less potential failure points. You need to lose the training wheels. Nice progress though!!👍

[@joshuabennett9534]

If I were you I'd look into RC motorcycles they've got to have the same characteristics you need

[@DktheWelder]

The flywheels on those rc bikes weigh as much as the bike that’s why they work so well and still need a push or little wheels to get going . I thought a lot about it👍

[@Ben-Dixey]

Epic video, loved it!

[@clifevieira07]

great production, keep going nice tunes make great vids, the protect is nice

[@Paulman50]

Absolutely brilliant, love it 👍😃

[@3svider]

Great idea of using hoverboard and side bars with wheels that can move. For grass i think you might use some wheelbarrow wheels. Maybe its good idea to get that wheels in an angle like this / \ . That's great project, keep going. It opens mind for ideas. Cheers!

[@DktheWelder]

Those wheels didn’t work well on grass haha , skids would also work but would be really bad on road

[@jimk8520]

There was a guy that made a whole train that balanced on a single track using a couple of gyros. You should check on how he did it. I believe it was called the Brennan monorail.

[@mike8695]

so cool to see the progress man, gg

[@faridalrangkuti3882]

nice project

[@jeep2003]

Would it help to add a heavy plate to the bottom to get the center of gravity lower

[@porangiadventures]

thats come so far since i last seen! nice work bro, i used the hoverboard motors to make a forcefeedback steering wheel for pc. Apparently the strongest version of those motors have 30mm wide magnets and 5 strand windings, they put out around 10 to15nm of torque

[@DktheWelder]

I was well impressed with how much torque they have !

[@danwebber9494]

Ah yes, again I’ve stumbled into the “mad fabtricator” part of the internet. My people!

Great video man! ❤👊🤙

[@handyandy345]

Was hoping to get a video this week

[@christopherromina5445]

That's sick

[@marcbrasse747]

Needs side wheels to keep it from tipping over and a spinning rear wheel to get a curve. The song text is very appropriate.

[@daviddelatorreperez4]

Masterpiece ❤

[@theoriginalrecycler]

Consider high torque servo actuators instead of chain drive. Nice job.

[@Sillyzombie666]

love these videos keep em coming

[@jakockleston6521]

just a thought, what if you had 2 pedals one for each foot that controld the balance arms or moved a weight around to change the balance, like how the pedals in a helli controll the tail rotor and ditch the gyro then you could change the balance in preperation for the turn instead of the gyro reacting to the turn. if you could get the weight shifting to work you wouldnt need the the balance arms witch would be sick!

[@badwelds4743]

Sweet music!!!

[@LLJW4]

Love it!

[@AaronHendu]

Yoke style steering would give you control over the balancing as well. Not that you need ideas or anything lol

[@SenatorFreddyQuimby]

Yooo big grats on the quality sponsor 👌 You could maybe use the little wheelchair wheels. They're cheap from chinwa. Or PU 150mm skate wheels 🤷‍♂️ i worry about those little castors

[@DktheWelder]

Something like that could work!

[@MsJon52]

good to see you, and having got sponsorship, if anyone deserves it its you, love the vid just could not stop laughing, and admiring your abilities, there are very expensive giro stabilisers for the rich to be fitted to luxury vessels, just a thought for a future project, would there be market for a boat stabilizer for the boat market, that the average man could afford.

[@DktheWelder]

I have seen those, but yes expensive!

[@sergiososa5855]

Electricpower electricamigos!!!!!⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡👀

[@garytucker3563]

A front tire more similiar to the Bat Tumbler might help with stability, IMO.

[@CyberSQUID9000]

Could you swap the balancing whe3ls for pit bike wheels , some cheap ones on trademe , or go with a truck flywheel for the gyro instead ?

[@GUCR44]

This is very cool man.... Genius really. Peace Rolfie

[@jqmark]

What size is that motor? That was cool giving that kids a ride. Bet at least one of them grows up building crazy stuff in his garage.

[@PatonMachines]

Yes stabilizing wheels are a pain in the ass to get working! Your going more and more complex and I'm going more basic! 😂

[@DktheWelder]

The problem with training wheels is unless the ground is perfectly flat they throw you off balance all the time

[@PatonMachines]

@@DktheWelder Yeah that makes sense. Definitely easier to balance a taller bike too.

[@thomaskennedy4130]

Could you make it so your seat swung left and right to help you balance ???

[@juliolausell4399]

What if the rear wheel was shifted to the left on the axel when the bike is leaning to the left. Make an axel that allows the center hub to slide left and right powered by your hover board motors to balancing bike.

[@DktheWelder]

Yes, I think that is probably the best solution! I have been thinking about that for a while and have done a few sketches, once I get enough money that might be the next move
