Riding Cheapest Handmade Iron Scooters of Indonesia

In this episode on Tekniq, We will journey through the world on vehicles locally produced from wood to carry wood, and other various materials for commercial purposes.

[@jasontheflyingfarrierhays]

I would definitely watch the show where these fellas had access to great equipment and materials, and given 3 days to build the ultimate scooter bike.

[@georqedubyakush6066]

I think about stuff like that a lot, there are dudes that if you gave them real good tools, they'd completely change the game going off what they're doing with essentially garbage

[@DMartinov]

You basically mean junkyard wars.

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

@@DMartinovit was TV that show was fake as hell

[@jonjessen]

It would lose it's charm, and become just another show. This is perfect, and something kids actually can have a go at.

[@tomthebadasscat]

Don't worry Jase I'm with you dude. "Pimp my Trike" or "Mad Max meets Bali." In Thailand that sort of engineering is called "Thai Style" by the farang. I have also seen a Drag Race Team in Thailand called "Safety 5th" and flip flops are called "Thai Safety Boots". But Thailand like most Asian countries are extreme polluters of this world compared to the west. China is over the top bad. Have a good one. 👍

[@gerardsitja]

Enjoy this freedom while you can! Here in Europe we can't even change the exhaust...

[@nativeeurope1299]

Just thinking the same thing, live in the north of Europe where everything is rules rules, agenda 2030, and then more rules.

[@Funkfuzzz]

And that’s definitely necessary

[@Slyngelmis]

in sweden you can

[@jekker1000]

just look at the wobbly wheels. And the kids riding in this death trap. I mean, a used car for 1000EUR will get you more safety than this. And yeah, you are able to do sth. like this - you a) have to get permits or b) do it illegally and face consequences.

[@crazyls2]

What do they do when a train comes 😮

[@henningklaveness7082]

I love how it's all just kind of sitting there, not even the motor is bolted down.

[@pavelarbakov5532]

Ржавая и древняя Веспа с коляской на 4-х колесах - это жесть! Деревянный самокат - это вообще номер! Но дедушка с дровами на санках,по земле, это вообще в шок повергло! Вот это механизация!

[@Borismolotov]

Это называется волокуша. Походу заменяет тормоза на этих пепелацах.

[@nopadelik9286]

The clutch design of the train's belt drive is impressive and smart, so simple yet effective, i'm stokedd. To engage the clutch just slide the whole engine away from the axle to tighten that belt putting tension on it, ito open the clutch slide the engine forward a bit. Clever.

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Same thoughts exactly! 😂😂😂

[@Improvisebydesign]

Those scooters are so unique. Inovative, creative, and has a sense of style. One day I will visit and see these in real life one day.

[@appleejack]

The extra wheels will just add drag and decrease fuel efficiency , less miles for money.

[@cabbage_cat]

These scooters are often seen in punk communities. The punk subculture is still alive in Indonesia.

[@pazsion]

now this is freedom, in the us we cant even have classic cars as projects on our own property... they just call the county and steal it from you, then scrap it or auction it off... 😔

[@bigredc222]

Go live there if you think it's so great to have no rules. I don't know where you, but I live in Pa. and there are plenty of people with yards full of old cars. If you live were there's an HOA that's your fault.

[@floridaboiwoody]

In my county everyone has old trucks and stuff in their yards.

[@bigredc222]

@@floridaboiwoody As you go further south you see more and more junk in peoples yards. Something breaks, it gets moved to the front porch, then once they give up all hope of fixing it, it goes in the yard. They leave broken vehicles in the driveway till they give up hope of fixing it, then it goes in the yard.

[@floridaboiwoody]

@bigredc222 pretty much. But hey, I would hate to scrap my old truck and then me or a neighbor needs a part from it. I figure old trucks are like money in the bank. If I ever need a few bucks quick I can always scrap it.

[@bigredc222]

I had a 91 F-250 for 25 years, the last ten it mostly sat, I drove less than 1000 miles a year. It was just rusting away from sitting so I finally sold it to a kid. I figured at least it will get used, and for the rare times I need a truck I get one of my friends with a truck to help.

Good and usable is a bit questionable, usable maybe.. But not good.

What amazing and resourceful people. I would be using a lot of paint on those buggies. Make them as colorful as the people who ride them.

[@SilvaDreams]

I mean... A kid can do what they do.. infact it's what I use to do as a kid in North Carolina 30 years ago.... Only ours didn't look like such death traps.

[@BigDaddyPuffAlot]

Amazing what these guys can make. The sleds at the end, I would think using wheels would be easier but probably tricky maneuvering downhill along that path. Cool video

[@floridaboiwoody]

These are some cool bros. I just wonder, did I miss where they used wheel bearings?

[@SilvaDreams]

Nope, just wood on metal (or even wood on wood). Lovely thing about wood is it will compress and actually get rather smooth. Add some oil or grease to reduce the friction and it works just fine so long as there isn't too much speed to make a lot of friction and heat.... It's how old wagons did it.

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

8:55 Hongda? 🤓

[@dencio1089]

11:50 these downhill wooden scooters are from Northern Philippines, not in Indonesia. We also have motorised railcarts here in the Philippines (same in the previous video clip)

To the old men moving the chopped wood through the forest, there is a thing that was invented called a wheel

[@SilvaDreams]

The sled likely works better because it spreads the weight out so it doesn't just dig into the dirt and mud. There is a reason why loggers used sleds and horse till the advent of big hauling trucks even in the US.

[@randomuser3555]

I clicked on this because I thought it would be silly, no joke. But now, I would hire these guys as fabricators if I could. Given resources and equipment they could probably make some baller crap.

When you live in a place with limited or less resources and opportunity, this is what you do, make your own opportunity, learn a skill, use it, share it. I say this because too many times people say they commit crimes simply because they have no opportunity and there is nothing to do.
