The Mott Wooden Car Plans Are Ready! (DIY Electric Pedal Car)

[@dannyperkins4220]

Your little car is awesome! I built a Morgan style barrel back three wheeler using a Honda motorcycle twin cylinder. I can appreciate your efforts I really enjoy building things from scratch. Thank you for sharing your build.

[@disgrauis]

As a Canadian I was very excited to see it was only 55CAD when I opened the page. But then I actually read the whole sentence rather than just the words that jumped into my eyes, and silly me, it quite obviously says that there are 55 Cad files included the the plans. The actual price (once you look in the right place) is even more economical. It will likely be a few years before I build it, but your delightful channel has provided me so much enjoyment over the years, buying the plans now is the least I could do. Thank you for your hard work, and for making the internet a generally more cheerful place to visit.

[@ShipwreckedMonki]

i'm going to get all my peers to purchase and build cars so we can start a pedal gang that charges about the country side solving crimes

[@morgangray4278]

Tim, I have no immediate plans to build my own wooden car (so many other farming priorities like fencing and a new bridge deck...). But am buying a set of plans now, as a small token of my appreciation of your hard work and dedication to this project, and to our entertainment. I am so thrilled to have a way to support you and Sandra, on my own tight farm budget! Cheers and many thanks and congratulations from a Canadian farmer!

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

What a kind and generous thing to do - thank you!

[@kd7nyq]

Congratulations on finishing! Your channel is invaluable! I am building a 16" gauge garden railway with my son. When he's a bit older, we'll build the car. I just purchased the plans! If you want to publish plans for your railroad cars, you'll have at least one purchaser of those, too. Thank you so much!

[@corvus1238]

Very fair price for all the work you have put in. I would have expected it to be twice that.

[@bakudans4851]

You are lovely, and all I want to tell you, is that you brightened someones day.

[@MrSoundman1955]

Hello Tim, I've just been clearing out my garage to fit an 8x4 sheet in with plenty room to walk around it. Foxit pdf reader will print the cutting plans to scale using the "tile large images". A ream of paper and a big pot of glue is on order. I can open the metal files in LibreCAD - which is also freeware and they'll be off to the laser soon. Many thanks for the magnificent work in the plans and for all the entertainment in the 26 KZbin videos that accompany it. All we need now is a little steam engine for your railway. It's just unfortunate that it can;t be made of wood! All the Best, John

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Thanks, John - yes, it's been a long project and I'm wondering what to concentrate on next. Too many choices!

[@akraus53]

The price being so low makes it a good way to support you even if you're not 100% sure you'll ever build one. At first I thought it was too cheap, but reading the comments its the right decision

[@mr.headcrab31]

I'm loving this series, The Mott looks like an absolute hoot of a runabout. I'd be tempted to build one myself, if only the cargo capacity was higher.

[@piccalillipit9211]

*I HOPE YOU SELL LOTS OF PLANS....!!!* I thnk its wonderful - if I still had a workshop I would be making one.

[@danallen6754]

Great, just brought the plans! Got the parts from the parts list and made a quick list in excel. All the build plans and instructions look very clear! Btw if you're on Mac looking at the files for 4mm, 9mm acrylic and metal, you have to show hidden files (cmd, shift, . ) then remove the "." at the start of the folder names. Mac thinks they are an unrecognised program file haha

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Interesting! Glad you sorted it out though

[@rosseastman2134]

€25 for these plans strikes me as an absolute BARGAIN. Very much looking forward to having the space to build one of these one day, current quarters don't allow it sadly! Till then I'll jealously watch your cars, and all those that do build them (there will surely be many). Cheers!

[@IrelandLover]

Only 25€!? I expected it to cost at least twice to four times as much! In Germany, some people would say: 25€!? ................ Die p*ss ich!! 😅 Wow! Nice comment BTW. :)

[@Mumbles274]

Brilliant Job!!! it's a bargain for the plans and all the work you have put in too. My dad was an engineer and I remember one of the odder jobs he had was building some pedal cars that were destined for a seaside town tourist attraction. This was an all metal pedal only vehicle though. Intersting sidenote.. He also was involved in the refurb of the funicular railway in Folkestone about 40ish years ago. Sadly its now closed and in need of restoration but hopefully this will happen soon. I look forward to all your upcoming projects.. especially how you make a loco for your railway

[@richdecibels]

I won’t have space to build this anytime soon but I’m happy to buy the plans and support the channel. I hope you get lots of people following suit!

[@lv_woodturner3899]

You made me do it. LOL I just had to support your efforts by downloading, even though I do not expect to build a Mott. I appreciate the effort you put into the design and plans. Dave.

[@waldkauz3491]

bought it, greetings from Austria

[@OwNLaM]

This has been my favourite thing on KZbin for some time. I'll buy the plans and hopefully build one soon! Imagine meeting another Mott on the road! Maybe this would be a good youth group project?

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Yes, a great project for youth gorups - as long as there was a good supervisor/teacher

[@westthedalles]

I’m in Oregon and I can’t wait to see my first Mott trundling through town! They would be the perfect addition to an Independence Day parade.

[@Skorpychan]

I'm tempted, but I know I'd never finish it. Tempted to buy them anyway, though.

[@richbuilds_com]

It's a great package and I hope you sell lots. I plan to get started on building my own later this year.

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

Absolutely fantastic news, well done. I've followed this project with interest over the last few months.

[@urielp911]

Bought my set. Fantastic job, highly recommended. Can't wait to start making it. I've already started buying parts 🙂

[@BlueSpark-vy3fd]

Its been great to watch this come to a conclusion. Well done 👍

[@gbentley8176]

Fantastic work Sir. Too old to make one sadly but by God it has been great fun watching you do all the hard work. Much appreciated. Best wishes for many sales and how you will top this with another project is eagerly awaited. Happy driving from a vintage car driver in the UK.

[@nitro650]

I have neither the space or time to build this cat in the immediate future, however I bought the plans as a thank you for all your hard work and entertaining content. Please keep up the good work.

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Wow! Thank you!

[@TomS-ce8hi]

Brilliant --- congrats Tim. Not many of us can say they have invented something that genuinely improves life on this planet :)

[@myfordboy]

Although I don't intend building one I have realy enjoyed watching the development of this car and the cost of the plans you offer is very reasonable. I know how much time it takes to produce them

[@CamstonIsland]

Now that the Mott is becoming a proper [not quite] Production Car, you should really get a little hood ornament logo to include in your kit! No idea what it could be- another pre-existing metal component to use as the Mott symbol would be fitting given the 'philosophy' of the thing, and I don't know about the logistics of getting someone to forge a batch of custom one. Maybe a little gear like the one on your animated intro!

[@dwarftoad]

Or just a high quality permanent all weather sticker/decal for the front. And "My Other Car Is a MOTT!"

[@jamescoxall322]

I will be buying the plans great price looks fantastic

[@xFlow150]

The price seems more than fair for the plans. Seems like a fun project to take on, but I'm short on space, tools, money and time. However, I think this would be great to build for my parents.

[@richdecibels]

congratulations! how gratifying to see this project completed

[@abovearth_]

This is the first video I have seen and I have bought the plans as I might have a lot of spare time coming up.

[@peterford436]

Grand work Tim and good luck with uptake of your plan...

[@JamesSeale2575]

Yes thank you ❤

[@keaneharley]

Bravo Tim, you've don e a brilliant job on this, - very inspirational. I'll buy a set of plans, just because it's awesome, but I won't build it unless you can remodel the car as a two seater. My other half would be thrilled to if she could come along to the local village.

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

I would do that, for sure, but we're not allowed a big enough motor, so it wouldn't work very well : - (

[@keaneharley]

Maybe I'l just have to make two then! @@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299

[@Peter-jo3wt]

I have way too many projects already to ever build a Mott, although it's been an absolute Joy to watch your research and development of the project !! I have a Model T, an El Camino amd a '64 Buick LeSabre. My house is 114 years old and needs more than a little of everything. And as a farmer you'll appreciate, my garden is calling... Still, I'm counting my nickels to see if I can't help support this and your other projects, by buying plans. I'm very interested in what you needed that generator for...

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Yep. The world is full of interesting things but there's never enough time for them..

Cheers Tim :) I've just ordered the plans. not sure when i'll be able to start building at the moment though

[@VitalyBorovsky]

Nice Work!👍

[@mobiousenigma]

congrats tim it is an accomplishment to complete this. i feel there are many improvements possible upgrades and tweaks for a next generation model . i have no budget or tools or intention of building one but would be happy to collaborate /offer opinions on further development if you wish. as always thanks for the videos.

[@eckosters]

I hope lots of folks all over the world will buy your amazing design plan. It won’t be me, though in another life, it could have been me. Good luck!!

[@jamesmisener3006]

Well done Tim. The government should be happy as well with the 3 wheel design as opposed to the terrible 4 wheel proposal! 3 wheels is 25% less friction at the road, so it's all good. Cheers to all. 🇨🇦

[@PaulSpades]

Even if you are to design your own, having these plans as a base and reference is still very valuable, and affordable. It might be the start of a whole worldwide micro-car/cycle-car community. Well done! Question! I might have missed it in other videos, but what's the budget for parts and basic materials, now that you built 2 of them?

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

That's a good question, Paul. Here, in the most expensive country in the EU, I think it's something like €1200. But that's using all new parts.

[@Xanderbelle]

Coming soon... Single class track day. 🚗🚘🚙

[@ptonpc]

Ordered the plans, the chances of me getting the time to build it are low, especially at the moment but I can dream.

[@Odinnyb13]

Absolutely fantastic work! I Congratulate you very much on finalizing your creation! I hope you get lots of sales. Would love to rush over to your website and buy the plans for myself, but i unfortunately don't have the space at the moment to build or even store it. Nevertheless i think its a great vehicle and i'm sure anyone who buys and builds it will be more than happy with your work!

[@MichaelStaghorn]

Been looking forward to these plans. Such an excellent job on a fantastic project, and I just love your wit. Keep up the amazing work!

Hey Tim, you may want to put the link to your store in the description of your channel(s)! Wanted to share it to some friends and had some trouble finding it just now, better visibility will make it easier for your store to be noticed!

Got the plans, Tim, but found a glaring omission from the cockpit layout NO CUP HOLDER!!!!!!!! The second set of plans are for my local men's shed.

[@Frombie_01]

It may have already been suggested, but would it be viable to sell a precut kit? Excluding the battery and possibly the wheels to make shipping easier.

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

The longest parts are nearly 2.4m long though - so it might be tricky/expensive to transport them

[@Frombie_01]

@@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299That could present logistical problems in that case. I had something the size of a "bike box" in mind.

[@wideyxyz2271]

In some places, a Mott is a stand of trees. In Dublin, I believe it was a slang reference for a girlfriend and in London it was a reference to a "naughty" Lady. I stand to be corrected on this.....

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

I'm using it as a corruption of moth - which is where the other meanings stemmed from

[@peldiman]

Tim, PLEASE raise the price of the plans! Someone who buys them will have to spend hundreds in parts alone, they can afford €100 or more for plans which will save them many hours of frustration! Your total addressable market is small, so you HAVE to charge more. 😂🥰

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

You're right, but my cunning plan is that if more of these are built then they will gather more interest. Price rising soon..

[@Emms-WesterlyC74]

Hi what was the total cost of the car ?

[@wayoutwest-workshopstuff6299]

Good question - and I don't know the answer exactly. Something like €1200 for parts. (That's in Ireland - things much cheaper elsewhere.)

I purchased a set of plans a few months ago and am in the process of researching parts and supplies.

Obviously there's variation in cost depending on the materials and the locale of the builder, but I was curious if this was something that someone somewhere has figured out.
