Crazy Bike Design: Front Wheel Drive and Rear Wheel Steering! Watch me Build and Test it Out!
Get ready to witness the creation of a bike like no other! I recently got my hands on the sleek and easy-to-use Fiido X Folding Electric Bike with Torque Sensor,
but while riding it, my mind couldn't help but wander. What if there was a bike with front wheel drive and rear wheel steering? I couldn't shake this idea,
and it ultimately led me to create this one-of-a-kind bicycle.
Join me in this exciting journey as I build and test out this crazy bike with a front drive wheel and rear wheel steering. The process was filled with challenges and surprises,
and the end result was nothing short of crazy. But I'm thrilled to share this experience with you all.
Do you think you have what it takes to keep your balance on this bike?
Leave your comments and share this video with your friends to find out!
Don't miss out on this thrilling ride.

Several things. Rear wheel steering is always harder to control. You need to slow down the steering to reduce the steering input. Possibly even limit the amount the rear wheel can turn. Another issue is weight balance. Ideally, you want more weight on the driven wheel. I think the longer wheelbase helps you out here. I wouldn't go shorter. It's certainly very challenging trying new concepts in the cycling world! I built my own front wheel drive, front steer bike that works well. But I went through several prototypes first!

[@mihkus]

Also steerer angle is reversed... Probably the main cause why its impossible to keep it straight its like pulling your bike backwards

[@mcAli3N]

jep, he should look up some bikegeometry first, before building. @@mihkus

[@user-jg3lh9kw8h]

Надо с ручным приводом сделать!!!

[@willgreen3665]

I was thinking the same thing he definitely needs to take weight off of the rear and change the steering ratio . For one as soon as he set in the bike the suspension bottomed out the you could clearly see the rear steer tire flailing about from the tinyest amount of input

[@ziejekz2290]

It's just a general issue with real wheel steering, needs time to get used to it as it escapes from under you, goes wider in turn.

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

The bottom of the forks are behind the steering stem. I think if the bottom of the forks are in front of the steering stem it will be easier to steer. Make make the rear steering arm longer to slow down the steering. I'm sure you are on top of this already!! Cool video!

[@smons7801]

I think it will make it worse because the wheel will want to rotate to a stable position (bottom of forks behind the steering stem) like in a shopping cart, IMO the issue is that single-track vehicles use countersteering to turn, and in this situation when the steering wheel is in the back that effect makes it impossible to control the bike, maybe if he mounts this fork perpendicularly to the road, it might be easier to control but I think it won't be as stable and easy to ride as a conventional bike :)

[@MrLemaner]

Completly agree on that What a clever project once again!!!

[@GRAHAMAUS]

Basically the angle of the rear fork needs reversing, so that the wheel contact point trails the steering axis. Then it will be self-stable, and normal counter steering should work.

[@brentspellmeyer8943]

​@@GRAHAMAUSyes steering angle or caster I think it's called

[@GregoryBamber]

Correct. As with swing bikes the rear fork has to be vertical to avoid steering flop. I learnt this from building 3 swing bikes. My third one does not have steering flop as I have the swing point as close as possible to vertical.

[@eddietowers5595]

I always like the way your mind works through your conceptual builds. It’s how we learn and grow our ideas.

[@thecorbies]

Hi. By having the tyre/road contact point in front of the steering axis you have removed the self castoring action of the steering, and of course this makes it very tricky. I believe if you angle the steering axis the other way (i.e. forward) I reckon it will work, and it will have the added benefit of 'castoring' again. Also, thinking about when riding a conventional bike, when you begin to lose balance to the left, your C of M (centre of mass) is moving to the left of a line between the two tyre/road contact points. In order to correct this imbalance, you move the contact point of the front wheel to the left so that your C of M is brought back into alignment with the two tyre/road contact points. And vice versa. I am therefore wondering if perhaps your steering should move (the 'new' steering wheel) the opposite way to how it is now (in the video). Just my thoughts, but in any case, I'm sure you will get it sorted out. Regards Mark in the UK

И еще нужно бы уменьшить зависимость поворота колеса от угла поворота руля в меньшую сторону.

[@Loki861224]

врядли направление наклона вилки улучшит ситуацию со стабилизацией. эффект самораскачивания возникает и на велосипедах и на мотоциклах на большой скорости (с правильным углом наклона к поверхности). в данной конструкции, как и в остальных, он обусловлен люфтами элементов управления и физикой колебаний, которые постепенно нарастают, усиливаются и делают конструкцию неуправляемой

[@VEC7ORlt]

Rear wheel steering bikes as inherently unstable, but who does their homework anyway.

[@nsbhagwat]

This is like driving a rear steer forklift. Fantastic build.

[@nigelman9506]

Well done, you just invented an unstealable bicycle

[@binaryflat]

Those "safety ditches" come in handy. Great job, and fun to watch!

[@spud4242]

reduce the throw of the steering. the wheel moves more than the handle bars. i also noticed a wobble on the rear steering wheel when you did manage to go straight. maybe a steering dampener like there is on some motorbikes to help prevent the death wobble. great build and great potential

[@deforged]

Next up - reinvent the wheel, but make it Square, and sell it to Canadians, buddy.

[@prsimoibn2710]

It's easy, you just need a good number of wheels, maybe 10

[@twasbrilligandthesli]

The "Falling in the ditch" scenes are hilarious!😂😂

[@Hellfire4WD]

There are bikes utilizing these mechanisms already, but it's interesting to see them put together like this. I think it could work. Bullitt from Larry vs. Harry uses the steering mechanism to transfer to the front wheel (it's my daily driver) and it feels amazing. Black Iron Horse 3 wheel cargo bikes use the rear wheel steering in a similar fashion also... But a 3 wheel bike is MUCH harder to tip over. On another note: I'd be curious if you'd consider putting Fat tires (4 inch wide) on a Bullitt cargo bike...? I have been playing with this thought for a while but I'm nowhere near as good with welding aluminium (especially if it comes to sturdiness of a cargo bike).

Superbe invention, il suffit de diminuer l'angle de braquage arrière et le tour est joué. Exemple : braquage avant du guidon 45° ne fait braquer à l'arrière que de 25° (chiffre au hasard), mais c'est ça l'anglé est trop important a l'arrière pour être stable.

[@magnussorensen2565]

I think you should ship this bike to Sam Pilgrim. He is the only one that could use this bike. :D

[@guillaumeb6698]

Great build :) One thing that could maybe work would be to add a little bit of steering (5-10° maximum) to a long cargo bike. But this would need a special rear hub, able to both steer and drive, and enough chainline to clear the tire in curves. This could make a super nimble long cargo bike.

Welcome to the inventor Monther from Saudi Arabia. I see that you put the rear wheel in a vertical position on the chassis, because the reason for placing the wheel in an inclined position is for ease of steering. I am very happy to follow you. I wish you more creativity and happiness.

1. Why 2. Interesting concept and it looks cool 3. You gave me an idea. Could you make it (or another bike) with traction both at front and rear? I think it would be interesting to see how it ends up working.

[@traphimawari7760]

It doesn't work, steering from the rear makes it less controllable because you can't even see the angle of the wheel as you move your handlebars making it very difficult to maneuver, another thing is that front wheel drive only works if you have a stable fixed rear wheel which is why most vehicles that has front wheel drives are tricycles and cars because they have two wheels at the back not one like a bicycle

[@armageddontools]

@@traphimawari7760 There are E bycicles with one or both wheel built motors .Some of them have front hub motors and work just fine.

[@traphimawari7760]

@@armageddontools im talking about rear steering not fwd, sure wherever you place the engine be it front or rear it will work, but that doesn't go the same for steering, the only time rear wheel steering works is on forklifts, not bikes, rear wheel steering simply doesn't work on two wheels alone, its just common sense

[@kellyjones334]

Hello. Very interesting bike project. I follow your creativity. My advice is to change the lever arm on the handlebar and on the fork of the swivel wheel. You will get a change - the steering wheel turns a large angle, the wheel turns a small angle, handling should become better. Good luck

felicitaciones, de los varios proyectos que le he visto crear en dos ruedas esta bicicleta ciertamente es la mas etraordinaria, creo que solo le falto considerar el radio de giro de la rueda guia, ya que esta al estar atras produce un movimiento mayor y por ende dificulta mucho mas el contro del vehiculo, supongo que esto no le impeira en el futuro hacer una version 2.0 donde mejorara por mucho este tema y probablemente luego saque una version 3.0 con asistencia electrica. por cierto al ser un nuevo concepto de pedaleo y equilibrio quizas al principio debio contar con un par de ruedas de aprendizaje, pero igual muy interesante proyecto

[@stevelindsay3643]

Add a steering damper to stiffen up the steering. The other thing working against you is balance. If you shift your position even a little the bike reacts a lot. You steer bikes by leaning to one side or the other and don't even need the handlebars other than to hold onto them for the vast majority of the time. Make the steering really stiff. I think that will help quite a bit

[@witalisawisar6723]
