Making a huge electric scooter with a car wheel full build

In this video you see me making a huge DIY electric scooter with a car wheel as rear tire.
For the previous project a bought a set of 4 Porsche rims and I only used 2, so I had still 2 spares. I found a motorcycle tire that fitted the 8.5 x 17" rim and so the project started.
I used 2 hoverboard motors which I bolted together. I recycled them from another project I did not use anymore. Check this video if you want to see how I built these motors: • How to build a DIY ele...
It drives very well. Not that fast but nice and comfortable, and the hydraulic disc brake is more than powerful enough. I am planning to build a big battery for it because those chinese hoverboard batteries are a bit weak.
Technical details:
- 2x hoverboard motor 350w 36v
- 2x brushless controllers 350w 48v (BLDC) from Aliexpress
- 4x hoverboard battery 36v 4.4Ah
- topspeed 27 km/h
- tire size front 145/70 - 6 rear 210/50/17 on 8.5 x 17 rim
- frame built out of 30x60 square tube 2mm wall thickness

Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think of it in the comments below!

What do i think? I wish i lived close to you, i would pay you to build me a modified attachment, a custom dual front wheel build, like the front end of an ATV, to help me get around faster in my wheelchair, so basically the attachments turns the wheelchair into a quadcycle _[the front castors / small wheels of the chair would be lifted up as part of how the attachment connects to the chair thus a modular mobility attachment device that turns the chair into a quadcycle.]_ You do such skilled, talented, clever quality work.

cut the crappy background music

[@ismailrajpoot3314]

Sir I need dimensions for the frame please help me.

[@amjadali-dd2hx]

i need dimensions of this project please help me sir.

[@eaj12001]

Good concept…let me know 9f you start selling them…if possible I wud like a fender / guard on the rear tire to prevent water splashing on my pants…great job

[@Jim.e.Whitten]

I would have added a guard to cover that back tire…way too close to your legs.

[@christopherruss4543]

And a seat on the guard

[@arkangelarkangel1302]

Thought the same and thought that moving wheel and his ass... not gonna be pretty dude.

[@Narinjas]

I would have placed the big wheel in front and the small one in the back... that way you don't care about road holes that much...

[@jimmywhitlow2012]

It will be OK. Not everyone cares about safety. Besides, a little tire rub never hurt anyone .

[@valveman12]

I like it! I would add a fender to the rear wheel. Hit a puddle and you'll be drenched. Also, you could add a seat.

[@NoNonsenseFarming]

A seat, I came here to find that comment and you were the first one, thumbs up.

[@allrange696]

this is my wish for christmas. I love it!

[@ezzathawash2475]

very cool! Maybe a half fender at the back for safety and even a seat for comfort.

[@nottyjoker]

Mud guard, tire guard are two thing you definitely need to add

[@ryanh5370]

you should put a fender on it to protect your calves and then you could also mount a seat on the fender

[@nash624]

I have the same thoughts... and maybe include a rear suspension.

[@BH4x0r]

standing while riding is the fun part on an escooter

[@ryanh5370]

yes without calve scrapes lol @@BH4x0r

[@iloveall2725]

same idea,. it would be awesome!

[@ricardojano3716]

Sweet - Yes a rear fender and seat

[@RoMiguens]

Very nice work very good, you have to try to make a double-track scooter. Now that is a complicated job. Very cool

[@bluemeanie6395]

Nice. Could use some wheel arches though. Imagine riding on wet road.

[@Lardzor]

I think it would make a cool scooter conversion with a seat / fender over the back wheel.

[@dominiquebellebault4760]

Love ❤ deux toute vot réalisation même je suis pas trottinette entant metallier et forgerons bonne continuation pour votre réalisation 😊

[@Strangernightg]

I'll tell you this much the construction of making that scooter with a motorcycle tire on the back that looks amazingly hot 🔥 Epic decision and video !!! 💯🙌😎✌️👋👍

[@FabiioAlmeiida]

is that 80's p0rn music you got playing in the background? 😂 Awesome build!

[@KenanTurkiye]

0:00 me: that's a Porsche wheel !

[@sysghost]

I can already see the brown streak going up the back from a few muddy puddles.

[@realfast01]

I would of made it a little longer and a bit narrower and definitely put a little fender or some safety over that wheel

[@eng.krisztiankovacs]

Wow, nice idea!

[@ScruffieWilliamsburg]

This might be the coolest one yet! Well done Sir!

[@Old-Skull.]

Now that is a scooter for a man, good job, I have no doubt that a lot of people would order one after watching this, if it were for me I would add a cover for the rear wheel , not all the wheel just to avoid some watering or accidental friction with my trousers.

[@foxwhiskey]

Great job. Perfect construction. Only a little bit dangerous for calves. 😅😂 As usual a pleasure to watch !!

[@TheSocialGamer]

I was thinking the same thing. I would have extended the frame and added a stool like seat to keep my entire body away from the tires grip. Awesome build.! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@SuddenSpark]

Another awesome project. Well done sir!! 🤘😎

[@RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217]

You never cease to show your clever engineering mind, if only i was able to build things like this but undesirably not able to due to certain health issues. I honestly wish i lived close to you, i would pay you to build me a modified attachment, a custom dual front wheel build, like the front end of an ATV, to help me get around faster in my wheelchair, so basically the attachments turns the wheelchair into a quadcycle _[the front castors / small wheels of the chair would be lifted up as part of how the attachment connects to the chair thus a modular mobility attachment device that turns the chair into a quadcycle.]_ You do such skilled, talented, clever quality work. Greetings from Canada.

[@CheGavare]

Do it with any engineer.

[@CarlosRodriguez-oq4hq]

Looking awesome but, I will add a fender ( for safety) and a seat on the fender ( for convenience and comfort)😉

[@TheOlegLviv]

You are very gifted person. Keep up the good work

[@mikehunt1418]

I love it!!! except i would like a big comfortable seat over that tire And 2 fenders so i can drive in rain..Good job Bud

[@diyathomevn]

Creative idea, just needs some upgrades, great idea well built, Well done. Perfect construction. There's just a little bit of danger. 😅😂

[@PhantomPanic]

Imagine riding this and forgetting that the tire isn't a seat. 😳

[@larrybraddell3162]

You can only forget once 🫨🫨 because of you what !

[@9r349]

So gooooood! the scooter you made is amazing!

[@cliftonmelonzon7385]

Great job!!! Be safe!!!

[@originsdecoded3508]

awesome, you can also add a chair by attaching metal beams to the sides all the way to the back wheel holder metal beams on the left and right holding the wheels, the beams being tall enough you can weld a seat. so you will be sitting right on top of the wheel, but not the wheel itself, but the seat untop of the big wheel

[@c.bambinglockleys]

Glockley's we ❤ your channel ❤

[@GAwes-ee9iq]

fantastic work!

[@jannieswart2073]

Nice build one of the best

[@FlipskyTech]

Very creative design, great

[@yohanesrochadim.mar.e4725]

nice and creative but it would be even better if the rear tire was covered so it's safe and the lid can be used to sit on

[@mbk1251]

Seeing the beginning of a cargo scooter ,even a trike the other way around

[@neodymowymario]

Nice 😁😁😁😁

[@robinsonmtb3977]

but you must make a protection so that the rear wheel does not rub against the doors

[@Mitudom]

Nice 😊❤ add the basket or stored box at the front 👌

[@Manukule]

In Germany we say: " Beide Hände ans Lenkrad " xD

[@cosmepalestrino5029]

Eu compraria uma dessa! 👏👏👏👏 Só faltou o para-lama (proteção na roda traseira).

[@switchenglish_au]

Awesome sauce. Maybe a nice guard over the wheel with a removable seat?

[@lukepereira4858]

Very very nice 👍 I like it.

[@greenwave819]

incredible protype. some EUC motors, suspension, fenders and seat could be added for the next generations. You could easily sell these or even rights to the design

[@thanhphamquang7316]

Can only ride on a nice day

[@jstewart627]

That thing looks like it will neuter you. I am sure I would fall sitting down on that and getting my squirrel ripped off in that little gap, needs fender.

[@Osama_bin_bombin_shit]

Could have put a motorcycle rear tire on it would be epic

[@DrBio100]

Need a tire guard to prevent accidents and maybe add a seat.

[@CarlosLGuerrero]

very cool...

[@Putrakokop]

Woow amazing scooter thanks for sharing now videos 🤝🔔🔔

[@1sayfull127]

Add in 2 seat and front and back mudgud for safety purpose during wet road to avoid splashing to your back shirt,view and texs from your malaysia subscriber,staysafe besafe and pechout yo.....

[@SigmaMotorsiklo]

Nice one. But please make it safe bro.

[@Hali2001]

You are great! Just two things. 1. That front wheel doesn’t fit to the rest, it’s so “agricultural “. 2. What is the weight of that beast?

[@richardhughes8352]

I think that rotating a wheel with such a large mass will drain the battery more quickly. A larger tire contact area means more friction.

[@clivecottam1509]

a nice slick fender is needed.

[@przemyslawczuchnowski6188]

Super 😊👌💪

[@normanmerrill1241]

Nice work __need some protection around the front half of the rear tire…a simple fender

[@smoointhesnoo]

Super cool build, as always!

[@krisraps]

Such A Cool Design, It Would Be Cool To Make The Back Wheel mLike That BUT To Make / Weld A Seat Ovevr It, Like , DAMN, That Would Be So Cool. Sitting Scooter With That Wheel And Then The Flares And Everything

[@chicanobluesaz4191]

Safety as an afterthought.......

[@meditation.538]

Nice can u add strong back wheel cover n seat

[@pacopato4047]

Eso, Nice

[@ZeroGMVideos]

cool!

[@pauljcampbell2997]

Should definitely smooth out the bumps!

[@MacNifty]

You should fit a fender to sit on.

[@Killastoned]

lol looks amazing, obivously it isnt practical, will have the most terrible mileage, that being said, its still an amazing build.

[@edmontoncouple1562]

love the design super cool. one suggestion though, if you can put a safety removable wheel hub (half) enough to protect your feet or a piece of your jeans or pants get caught by the wheel. overall awesome design...

[@joekao192]

Great works ! But Suspension ? Seat? Looks kind of dangerous!

[@n.a.k4321]

Add a seat and turn it into an electric mini choppa 😂😂

[@maximo20fl]

Cool

[@MacNifty]

Reminds me of Kim Kardasian.

[@MBZS500]

Needs a seat as a guard over the tire.

[@carlcofr]

A rear fender with seat.

[@MacNifty]

The point of the scooter is to be under control with weight. The scooter that is under the weight of the rider is the one most easily under control of the rider. The stance and size in this build it over the top. He builds such a sturdy scooter but his feet are in jail slippers. LOL.

[@tv-sc6iw]

ПРИВЕТ. А ЕСЛИ ЗДЕЛАТЬ КРЫЛО И СЕДЕНЬЕ НАД ЗАДНИМ КОЛЕСОМ

[@dingdingdingdiiiiing]

As it is, without fender it's just unsafe to use. The concept though, much safer on the road compared to regular sized wheels scooters at the same speed.

[@TheJuanca149]

quedaría mas interesante con otro motor adelante adaptado..

[@arkangelarkangel1302]

If you fall on that moving wheel or hit a bump on the road while its moving.... your shredding your pants and atleast half your ass 😂.

[@mcchillindaily4581]

Why does the tire look rounded like that. Would it normally be flat under the weight of a car? Are they made that way to compensate for the shortness of the wall?

[@hennybutabi]

It's because it is a motorcycle tire😏

[@amjadali-dd2hx]

@@hennybutabi sir i want dimensions of this project please help me i want to make this project.

[@mikeframpton9009]

Does it have brakes ?

[@GrantM.-gx2kn]

If there was a scooter screaming for a seat, this is that one. Dont know what kind of mileage your going to get with that big tire.

[@Vmaxfodder]

Not much KW ,but it rolls !

[@peterbarlow8912]

With ATB’s with 2 wheel sizes the larger wheels is always in front to help clear holes and steps. Don’t fall back on that big rubberized high traction flywheel. Just because it’s possible to build doesn’t make it sensible.

[@peterbarlow8912]

Also that looks like a non DOT snow blower tire in front. There’s way more voids than lugs which has terrible grip on hard surfaces

[@gokhankorkmaz470]

Shock absorder why nothing?

[@enilenis]

Tiny bit of advise - if you're arc welding, do not have any exposed skin. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation gives people melanoma (cancer). You have to protect more than just the eyes. Get into good welding habits from the get go.

[@davidgambler1591]

Needs a seat or at least a wheel guard, nice job. 👍🏻

[@jurijpodzorov8926]

Not practical, but looks cool. Low torque with not so high speed - it will roll nice downhill, fine on straight but uphill it wont go at all with such motors/setup. Swap hoverboard motors to something more capable and perhaps add seat above rear wheel - it will look even cooler imo. After that it should be fun piece to ride

[@greenwave819]

this just the protype, if he decides to mass produce no doubt some upgrades will occur

[@ttinnovations3310]

nice, but the front needs a porsche wheel too

[@hennybutabi]

You should check out my previous build😏

[@RICHARDLEE-qu9gi]

1，your legs are way too close to the running rear wheel. 2, the battery bank power supply feels too small to power up this heavy scooter. nevertheless, this is a beautiful piece, very nice made

[@Gristourdille]

You need a guard for the rear wheel

[@mohacorse8338]

C’est super mais il ya un risque major manque de protections G D plus siege

[@davidanderson6222]

Snug fender, hotter motor, then you got something. 👍🏽

[@davieanwilliams9205]

What's the tire size exactly ? I want the same style what brand company make also thanks

[@hennybutabi]

Hello, sorry for my late reply. The tire is a Metzeler in size 210/50 zr17.

[@francescoquintano3090]

è bello... meglio se avesse avuto sospensioni e motore diretto senza catena... per il resto mi piace 👍👍

[@user-cs3el8xr9t]

track scooter concept? Ground clearance precludes practical use on public roads. the first sleeping policeman will be an insurmountable obstacle

[@petepop4319]

put a fender on that thing, hurts just looking at it.

[@maxheadroom1506]

needs fenders especially the rear.

[@riohariantoriokupaz4836]

YANG MANIS TAPI SANGAT BERBAHAYA,KNAPA TAK ADA PELNDUNG DI RODA BELAKANGNYA🤷🤷

[@michelwong1]

Nice ! 👍 But the scooter weight too heavy, about 200kgs . It will speed up to 80km/h if using lighter materials ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
