GIANT Lego Inspired Monkey Bike with Adam Savage - Part 2

[@MattDenton]

You can see part 1 of this build here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHLQXp-Dmr9gq6c Lots of people saying @vicesat did this first. So it turns out he made a bike before me in 2022, well, I've been making XXL Lego inspired vehicles since 2020 and giant scale since 2017. The whole point of these projects is to inspire new builds, and that's exactly what these builds have done✌

[@UHB007]

Most of these budget controllers packaged in kits like yours, have a set of wires (usually white or grey) that when plugged in, reverse the motor direction permanently. They call these the self-learn wires, or "intelligent recognition". It makes installation a breeze. With the controller off and the wheel off the ground, connect them together, turn the controller on & watch the direction of rotation, if correct disconnect them, and cycle the power to the controller. Presto! You might have already learned this since making the video, and you might not see this comment, but I wanted to comment in case somebody is having the same issue. Cheers and happy building.

[@flymachine]

It’s easy to not fully appreciate the absolute genius of this design but make no mistake this is astounding in its genius!

[@MattDenton]

Thanks 🙏

[@KlaasDeSmedt]

Matt, you're explanation about rake angle A and trail B is correct but the sketch on the CAD model of the bike is wrong: the rotation axis (and not suspension axis) is more to the back making the trail almost zero to none. To solve this, offsetting the wheel would help, but you need to offset it to the back and not the front. An easy way to remember this is to think of the front wheel as a caster wheel on a trolley. Relevant timestamp: 18:12

[@KlaasDeSmedt]

The forward offset you normally see on bigger rake angles is to reduce the trail distance.

[@MattDenton]

Ok interesting, I can see how I’ve missed the rotating axis and yes trail is near zero.. but can’t see how offsetting it backwards would help. Most pedal bikes have a forward offset. (I’ll update this in another video, and description) thanks for pointing it out

[@MattDenton]

Got it 👍👍

[@KlaasDeSmedt]

It's because of the small rake angle of the lego bike that it's counterintuitive to move it backwards. But if you look at it from the current rotation axis of the steering column, the wheel axis already has a big offset to the front. I think, the most subtle way of improving the trail is a combination of increasing the rake angle and by cheating in the top parts of the steering column to reduce the forward offset but that can have a negative impact on left to right steering angle.

[@andrewn3239]

+1 to KlaasDeSmedt, he's absolutely correct here. Unfortunately though there's no quick fix to this issue without a reverse-offset axle mount or a significant redesign of the rake/steering geometry. I dealt with this issue with electric kickscooter manufacturers, who often make this same mistake. See the Inmotion S1F scooter for a particularly bad offender. Absolutely love this project and keep up the great work Matt!!

[@JohanLarssonKiruna]

This was absolutely fantastic! I've been at home sick for several weeks, only lying in bed and watching KZbin. This was possibly the most fun video I've seen during this time. (And just pointing out, with this front end geometry, moving the wheel forward is the wrong direction to fix the handling... 🙂As said in the video, trail is the distance from the contact patch to where a line through the steering head (not through the forks as shown in the illustration by the way) meets the ground. The contact patch is behind the point of rotation, and trail can be seen as a "lever" through where forces are transferred in steering. This bike now has a negative trail - the contact patch is in front of the steering axis. You normally set the correct amount of trail for a given rake/steering head angle by dimensioning the fork yokes and changing the fork offset. The yokes put the wheel at the correct position relative to the steering axis to achieve the amount of trail you want to have. In this case the offset should be smaller - the forks and wheel should be pulled back, the fork yokes should be straighter and not so triangular. Functionally you could just as well move the wheel axle on a mount behind the forks, but that would look weird. What you often see on some forks, that the wheel axle is in front of the forks, is not so much to fix the trail measurement, but more so due to the construction of the fork itself. Sometimes the axle needs to be in front of the fork, but that is then corrected by the yokes and the offset. On a traditional bicycle where there are no yokes, you achieve the correct trail with the lower fork bends. Now - this Lego bike is a scaled up model and absolutely perfect as it is, it shouldn't be changed in any way! But normally negative trail is considered upright dangerous, so it's something to be aware of. It's possibly the most important single aspect of bike steering geometry.)

[@MattDenton]

Yeah I released a correction video short explains my mistake. This bike has slight negative trail 🫡

I actually did the maths on that a while back, and figured a 1:8 scale version on 7-14" track was about right to mix it with other ride-behind stock on the same gauge. Obviously the wheel standards would have to match the track, but everything above could look like lego.

[@jonathanj8303]

@@matsv201 lego train bodies - at least the 'official' six stud wide ones - are widely out of proportion to their track gauge if they're expected to represent any real gauge. No shade, it's a toy. But that's why I suggested a scale/gauge combination that would bring that ratio closer to reality. An 8:1 upscaled 6-stud lego train would be about 384mm wide, and would feel about right next to 1/8th scale models of standard gauge stock, which is the general ratio for 7-1/4"/7-1/2" SG outline. The gauge is intentionally narrow compared to scaled-up lego to achieve this effect. And if you check, you'll find there are plenty of gauges between 280mm and 600mm, though they get rarer as you go up, simply because bigger models rapidly get heavier and more costly.
