Riding Handmade Scooters in Philippines

In this episode on Tekniq, let us race with the locals of the Philippines using scooters made structurally out of wood.

[@jodyreeder4820]

The Flintstones came to mind, completely great

I am ever applauding the human ability to go forward with creative answers to problems. Kudos!

It's called Chukudu in DRC Congo. They have similar one but a bit advanced. Burundi has cyclists who can carry loads of bananas for livelihood at neck breaking speed

[@urrywest]

They also incorporate sealed baring rings in their design as well as springs to make up for a lack of castor effect..... I am a bike designer myself.

Blud said "a bit advanced" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@urrywest]

@@nobueno3514 The scooters that I have seen on KZbin, I think from the Congo, have all the features in these scooters plus they have rollerbearings and springs for a kind of artoficial trail... The technicians who make them have some very good skills as well.

We made scooters back in the 1950s. We used boards and the wheels were old bearings from cars. It’s so surprising that in this day and age to see something like this being made. But I still admire these poor guys.

[@DYRBCebuCity1968]

I remember that type of scooter with steel bearings for wheels still around in the early 70's.

Are u from Jamaica?

[@asokakicaugacor]

Very creative and very unique, thank you for sharing this very good video so that we can watch this broadcast

[@justmechanicthings]

Looks like he's lost the tip of one, its just bone

[@DYRBCebuCity1968]

Brings back memories of the early 70's. We had wooden scooters similar to these ones. The the bar connecting to the stirring handle though was attached with only a hook made of nail and from time to time it detaches and some kids skinned their knees and elbows sometimes.

[@jasongooden917]

I grew up in Canada, we skinned our knees and we had actual bikes... 🤣

[@user-fp8dh5vm2w]

We also used to play with wooden cars now a days it is hard to find wish to have to get back those memories I will be more happy thn now because now a days people are forgetting such kind of fun. Today's kids doesn't know anything about such kind of joy and happiness only getting busy with internet

В Африке тоже делают деревянные самокаты. Чукуду. Они более совершенны. Там есть пружины-амортизаторы, тормоз и их самокат-чукуду может перевозить до 450 кг груза.

[@dumay_govori]

эти устройства с моторчиком?

[@Dobryi_Kot22]

Самое главное забыл, в Чукуду есть подшипники .

[@roberttemple2521]

A lot of this beautiful clip reminds me of my times in the state of Bahia, Brasil, some twenty-five years ago. There was a busy boatyard in Itacare that caught my attention. The guys made 25' boats out of wood that was yellow inside and yielded a pleasant scent. There was a lot of machete use, roosters would crow, and afternoon breaks were spent lazing in the shade of spreading almond trees. I saw a lot of hand-carved woodwork in Brasil. I saw how Bahians would improvise when making or repairing things, much like what we saw in this clip. I think the best invention I saw there was a gas engine powered wheelchair. The owner was a fine guitarist, a local celebrity, and was doted over and greatly appreciated by all in Porto Seguro, Bahia.

[@Trekdood]

I like them, a lot of artistic skill in the ones with carvings in them

[@sheshashah3728]

If it can be fitted electric battery with these scooters it could be more effective but anyway I really appreciated for their indigenous efforts using their available resources great job guys keep it up

[@Lokvidar]

battery and effective? :D nonsense gas engine is also better and cheap

[@josephaldrich4023]

But that would go against Hanna Barbera's original concept.

[@lindacarruthers3423]

Wow is he great with that chopping knife! It must need a lot of sharpening throughout the build .Wood is very heavy , so taking it downhill on wheels is a great idea ,and as for the return trip wheeling the bike that’s alright,you only have to walk one way.

I never thought I'd see a " Philippino Biker Gang " .... now I can die a happy man !

Most scooter-makers do not have all ten toes actually. Brilliant vid and so is the craftsman.

[@preciousreading1934]

I am the 1st commenter: This push and roll wooden scooter invention is a Very green very efficient means of good transportation. The rest of the world's nations must adopt it. Green Nobel Prize is recommended for the inventor.

the Congolese scooter are made for heavy lifting but Philippines scooter are made for fun because most of these mountain tribe cant afford bicycle so they made it for the kids.

I’ve first saw similar video of these scooters in the congo 🇨🇬, they look like they shouldn’t move but they are really sturdy !

[@DinoCordova20]

Same in Africa like this

[@Fat-Cat-xs]

I was watching the Congo Africa one of these and they have the same type of scooter. I wonder who thought of it first, or maybe perhaps a tourist saw it and thought, Hello, kerching $$$$

[@jhunmontina6422]

just like our modern push scooter they probably just push the scooter up hill and walk it, and chances are when there is an uphill there is also a downhill.

[@spark-taco]

@@jhunmontina6422 The American version is the supermarket battery powered scooter to go through the isles for 400lbs landww-hales in the hunt for glyphosate loaded sugary food products. I reckon there are not many specimens of that kind in the Philipine mountains.
