Riding Cheapest Handmade Scooters of Indonesia

In this episode on Tekniq, let us travel around the world on Java scooters and wooden scooters. Later, we observe the meticulous process of dismantling a motorcycle and re-purposing every single part.

[@elilevine2410]

Hello from the U.S. , thanks for showing the work that goes into making these amazing scooters !!!

[@eewilson9835]

hi cheapest scooter my arse, imagine a place where there is nothing TO deliver, so these scooters are for wealthy.

I bet they have more enjoyment and pride in those machines than the average Porsche owner.

This is like Mad Max, hard core post apocalyptic rad rods. They would not be out of place at the Wasteland Weekend vehicle festival. Quit a contrast to the intact bikes being disassembled at the end.

@@colinjones5100 , you're greatly mistaken, I'm not in any boat with you or everyone else . I'm not worried at all , about the world ending . I welcome that day..... The world will end either in my lifetime of after I'm in the grave but it will happen regardless and I'm ready to meet my maker ..... Are you ? If you would read the Bible and seek God , instead of listening to men , it would make sense to you . Believe what you want to believe and I'll believe what I want to believe. To each his own . They made fun of Noah and mocked him for building an ark and saying, there wouldn't be a flood , to consume the earth but when the water began to rise , those same people, were crying and begging for there lives and banging on the ark , to be let in but they were warned before hand but thought it would be better to mock Noah ,.....until the water began to rise . So no , I'm not in any boat with you I'm not afraid to die and I'm not afraid to stand before the living God and the King of Kings , on my judgement day....are you ?

Those Wooden Scoters, drivers wearing indigenous dress are from the Philippines (Mountain Province/Baguio)

[@RIZFERD]

Calm down brothers. Both The Philippines and Indonesia are brothers and sisters separated by the west. The fact that Mindanao and Manila were founded by my forefathers from Minangkabau Sumatra Indonesia long before Spaniards came, that's why there are so many similarities between Bahasa Indonesia and Tagalog.

[@zakb7418]

First clip indonesia, in 2 clip its the video not from indonesia (althought indonesia have those same concept) but the video are not from indo, in third clip 3 is not from indonesia lol its africa

[@user-wq7my9hp2n]

I believe so, they are Cordillerans, should have properly mentioned in the video, so as the other clips.

[@yardsausage]

they might be poor but they use what they have to make things work and i applaud their skills and the will to get things done.

[@mrpachino6014]

Works of art. Pretty clever people to use very little and great recycling ideas too.

[@josephanthonypuccio4704]

I love Italian Vespa’s. They run forever… you just can’t kill them!! God knows that these guys tried to!!

[@Jonathan.D]

I've had quite a few different bikes. Suzuki M109, Harley VRod Night Hawk, a few custom choppers. The thing that always annoyed me was keeping all that chrome clean. When I moved to SE Asia, I got an old Honda dream and had a blast. I did get a bigger Honda SH, but I still love my little modified Honda dream. There are some guys who make some chopped ones from scrap that are amazing. To me they are more fun than all the heavy bikes. We'll they're not nearly as fast but a lot less to care for. If you scratch it, it's not a big deal. Just fun!

[@ericlester5890]

[@jclark2752]

To be fair, those Vespa engines are mechanically ingenious. They really are the key to the whole thing.

[@ItsDaJax]

Aren't they just Minerelli engines?

[@jclark2752]

@@ItsDaJax the first builds use the Vespa design, though it has been copied, stolen, and reissued a thousand times since they were invented. 2-stroke, compact, powerful with 150cc standard, built-in transmission, no chains or belt drives, attached to an integral swing arm, if you can run the cables to control it, you can mount it pretty much anywhere!

Flipping vespa 😂 it went a long way that little two-wheeler. Just finished the 2WW Piaggio converted its production from military (mostly airplanes) to civil (transport on wheels). First Vespa engines, before becoming scooter engines, where designed to be handheld starter motors for prop planes

[@peterjmcgee4680]

I find what you're doing with those scooters. Very cool if I could do it here in the states. I would do it. But they have too many rules and regulations and prevent you from having fun. And it's all on the way of them making money and keeping you from having fun.

[@ItsDaJax]

Dude... you could easily put a sidecar or sidehack on a scooter.

[@edwardhovitz1753]

Nobody would use or ride those in the US. Too dangerous.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

The Indonesian scooters at the start are works of Art !!! It's the real life Wacky Races 👍🤣

[@sekovittol3124]

What I admire about these places is lack of regulations. I made a mini-bike, took it out for a first test ride, ready to cross the road into the trails, cop stopped me, told me to take it back home. They want people to drive less cars? Let people drive other things around town.

[@CalmoOmlac]

Here in Germany it's worse. They would take your mini bike, give you a huge fine and you maybe even go to court.

[@deepfreezevideo]

Maybe you didn't notice that where you live it's nothing like the rural Phillippines or Indonesia, or The Congo. And if you ever have a grown child who loses their life due to the unregulated Chevy that flattens them, suddenly SOME regulations become a wee bit more important. There's a good reason minibikes aren't allowed on public roads.

[@robertallen6710]

That was my very first thought...if an OSHA inspector was there...lol

Very amazing people are build their own transportation with out law and still use full on the road . when I was a kid in 1963, I build my own scooter like 9:22 and 13:47 , but it small just enough one person rid on a round the village, I did not think these toys still a life up to now, I think the most Asian countries new how to build these scooters back than, thank for share 🙏👍👍.

Surrounded by a collection of the worlds strongest and most versatile manufacturing product and as a bonus he even has a choice of the best looking before and after manufacture/preservation. The people of the far east have been working bamboo since before most of we humans stopped needing to shave our butt cheeks and started wearing pants. The far eastern peoples definitely know how to make use of bamboo and they can surely do it better than myself or anyone i know. Bamboo could definitely reduce the weight of their vehicles and probably make them safer all round. So why are they welding big pieces of metal to that small scooter motor. Bamboo would increase speed and power and even maneuverability, they would even look better. Becoming true far eastern works of transportation art, like those wooden push scooters. They must know this, why they not doing it, who is stopping them? Why they being stopped?
