I am impressed with your work, everything is designed according to your taste, there is only one in the world and the most important thing is that it must be fast~malaysia boy🇲🇾

[@PraetorUA]

The range, suspension and torque across uneven terrain is really impressive, well done!

Wonderful build. I'm in the process of fabricating a tilting reverse eelctric trike, so your videos do inspire. Thank you for taking the time to film and share all your projects.

[@piconano]

Your creations are a joy to watch. You are man of many talents and skills. You are also a perfectionist, and that's what I love about your makes. Also, not yakking about blah blah, and lack of crappy free and loud bg music, is much appreciated by my OCD. ♥

[@ghostphalanx]

i've been seeing a lot of videos of custom made scooters and electric bikes. This is by far the most elegant, well made and thoroughly built from scratch one so far. I also like how you made it very compact for a scooter with rear suspension

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant, Maciej! Really fantastic work! 😃 This is definitely the best design and build you've ever did! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Mistrzostwo. Zazdroszczę Ci, że masz wiedzę jak to zrobić, jak zgrać wszystkie elementy ze sobą. Mam tylko dwa zastrzeżenia. Jak Tomasz wspomniał pokusiłbym się o wprowadzenie przewodów w ramę i dość istotne, umieścił gniazdo ładowania z tyłu puszki, w tym momencie wywrotka na stronę gniazda uszkodzi je kompletnie, wystaje poza obudowę. No i kup sobie elektryczny wkrętak :)))

One of the best builds I have seen. Great video.

[@williamirizarry1113]

OK, now this is just taking it to a whole different level. The perfect scooter. Fantastic job!

Seat would be a bonus ! Nice build !

[@PhiTonics]

This design platform imo is potentially the future of motorcycles, like the Kurburg ranger. 🤘

[@artvandelay8030]

This style of hub motor scooter is my favorite. MTB hardware etc. More BMX here. But good heavy stuff is the point. Nice job with chassis, the deck/ battery box is really well done. Rake angle etc. It's important if you want it handle nicely, right. Looks like it does. 20's great choice. Don't generally comment on these builds. Really like yours. 💯 Nice job.

[@zoltanvaczi230]

[@sed6]

This is exactly like what I want to make! Great job!

[@toddsmith4653]

Very very nice. All of the specs are much better than most commercial scooters. At least those that are affordable. Excellent job on both the scooter build and video production. I hope you make more.

[@BH4x0r]

not quite, just the tires are an obvious advantage but spoked wheels are a disadvantage aswell also it's only ~2200W (48x45A, 2400W peak at max charge) alot of cheap scooters (ali scooters) at ~$1000-1200 have way more capacity (range) and over double that power. otherwise this build is sweet though

[@lucdrouin2625]

[@okithdesilva129]

The speed of this bike impressed me a lot! I will make one!

[@SonOfGalactus]

thats awesome, I would love to ride this to work everyday, great work!

[@SzeptyTechniki]

Much wow!! This is the best build that I ever seen! And this kind of e-scooter is exactly what I imagine my future piece. Off road ability, electric, powerfull... one thing that I would change is tires from fatbike, as wide as possible, maybe 5'' that would be ultimate offroad machine.

[@rottendrestantje]

Very professional build. All it needs is a seat😊

[@DIYwithBatteries]

The design was really so smart man it looks pretty cool 👍

[@AndrejGobec]

Very cool build! I made something similar, only much cheaper and without suspension. In my opinion I'm not sure you need rear suspension at all, front is quite sufficient. It's interesting how hard it is to get speed on a small tire. I'm using 16 inch tires and 1kW motor and I get about 35kmh, but tons of torque. And yours must be even crazier! Around 45kmh must be just perfect and the ride looks super smooth. Great job!! 👍👍

[@AnthonyCurreri]

Looks wildly fun to ride! Amazing work as always.

Zarąbiście Ci to wyszło, piękny jest :) Ale mistrzu, zakładaj zawsze jakiś kask enduro :) Ja bym jeszcze wpuścił kable w ramę.

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Very nice scooter. I would give you a 9.5 for both design and build quality. A couple of things I may have done differently or at least would wonder about are... 1) It's disappointing the rim manufacturers don't offer spoke adjuster seats with appropriate angles for the hub diameter and spoke layout you need. This could be done by machining the seats or with press in inserts that provide a flat surface for the nut at the correct angle for the spoke. The ladder idea would be ideal because the person lacing the wheel would be responsible for getting the right insert angle pressed into the rim socket and clocked correctly, although the inserts would be expensive until someone with the right screw machine spit out a few million of them. 2) I'm not familiar with this specific controller (sine-wave controllers rock), but for off-road use, even if you can adjust the ramp up rate to max, I would want more than 22 Amps. 30 to 40 might help you get out of a sticky situation like that rogue patch of invisible sand halfway up a gnarly hill climb. That being said, it is certainly fast enough now for any terrain you might encounter. Bonus points for the air shock and re-enforced head tube!

[@cylon5741]

First of all, this man has mad skills. My chief complaint/concern is that that the suspension divides the deck such that he severely limits his side to side foot movement and if he needs to jump off of the scooter one of his feet might catch on the structure. Could the supports and suspension have been designed to be out of he way, below the deck?

[@vitocorleone4416]

Nice build, Sir! God bless!

[@unknowndx321]

Wow Awesome..But the missing thing is the front and rear lights

[@tangerinepopgames]

I know a lot of these builds are done on a budget, but it would be interesting to see one with a dual crown 200mm travel front fork with 29" wheel, and slacked out to say 62-63 degrees to make it more stable at high speed. Maybe 150-170mm rear travel. Yeah, the center of gravity would be higher, but the offroad capability and stability would be quite good provided the wheelbase was in the 1250+ mm length.

[@kubskrilla2732]

This is an amazing build really well done and thought out only thing missing is a 2 wheel drive system instead of one with that on kind I honestly think if you made that happen would be one of the best scooters on the market just need more speed torque and would be perfect!

[@jashton8710]

Fat tires with suspension = smoooooth ride!

[@10010Linus]

There is one flaw in this build i see from the preview in the intro and that being your stance, standing feet side by side doesn't give you the best forward/backwards stability/balance when accelerating/breaking, other than that, judging from the thumbnail, this is going to be awesome Edit: i would also add a steering damper to complete the build Edit 2: just finished the video and it looks so good, but my previous statements about the one flaw i saw still stands

[@Polar_Onyx]

I think one other flaw (not his fault) but those spokes on the rear wheel look really sketchy, you can see they had to be bent to fit and their spoke angle is 0° on one side and over 20° on the other. Also to fix his max speed (and improve range) would be switching to a geared hub motor unfortunately I don't think they make them that powerful.

[@carlakoski1]

I have built 2 similar scooters both 4000 watts and both significantly lighter than this all steel build. Don’t get me wrong, I think this builder is super talented but steel is the wrong material here. I started with commercially available frames. The First one is a diggler zephyr which essentially has a skateboard deck to stand on. The second is a Globe 3t race which has the same standing position as this scooter. The Globe has better foot position for aggressive ridding, acceleration and braking are not a problem from a stability standpoint. I agree it seems counter intuitive but facing straight forward with hands on the bars allows for more aggressive control. The diggler is way more comfortable for long distances since you can move your feet around to prevent fatigue. It’s also nicer at slow speeds for casually getting off and on. It’s better for riding in the city for sure.

[@noe616]

That's an awesome build.

[@paranoiia8]

Super projekt, jedyne co bym dodał to dodatkowa wygięta w "L" blacha pod spodem na przodzie w razie uderzenie w jakieś kamienie, zawsze to lepiej walnąć w wymienialną łatwo blachę niż w śruby które później ciężko odkręcają się czy zbierać błoto w małe szczeliny by uszczelka po kilku miesiącach zaczęła się rozpadać.
