@Squid Game 🅥 Imagine pretending to be verified so people click the bot links that you spam all over youtube. Also imagine buying bots to try and send links with rick rolls when there is clearly "(Not RickRoll)" in the title
I thought that too but was going to say a moped. But expensive way to make one. I don’t think that Honda need to be worried about their market share just now…
Imagine a Colin Furze village full of people who love tinkering and inventing wild things (hopefully with more protective gear involved too) It would be a dream… maybe?
The one thing most overlooked on small lawnmower engines is that the flywheels are lightened and basically there for cooling and timing. The blade basically becomes the flywheel. The engine you want to find is an equivalent pressure washer engine. They need weighted flywheels to have enough momentum to run correctly and smoothly. Also helps them power the pump. Not all engines have the same length crank shaft, or size even. So you may need a couple engines to end up with one with all the right features. Hopefully this illuminates some things for others. Keep tinkering alive
Also variable drive motors would've worked, too. I've been drawing up something like this for about three years now, with different setups and different types of bikes.
Colin just showed us like five intense bicycle builds in 13 minutes....basically months of work in a few minutes. This guy is unstoppable! Content to the max!
Need more gearing mower engine is built for speed pump wants torque not speed same as the hydraulic motor made to deliver torque Not speed so need to hear down the mower motor and gear up true drive motor
That third engine swap is crazy lol. Over here in the Philippines, some people buy the little 49cc engine kits for their bicycles. It's pretty affordable at around £50-70 and can get a bicycle going faster than most people would ever want.
You guys also make the bicycles that go over water as well aye? Like in the top gear vietnam special. Stick a motor on it, and it will move mentality! Love it
This bike looks apocalyptic but in a badass kind of way. The hydraulic transmission is just crazy. I wish he did some more riding, it looks really funny.
Your Edits and progression of the projects are always super fast, I (and many more) would love to see a long version where you adress the details and challenges. As you said this was a great learning experience, it seems like a lot of headscratching and design considerations were cut our here:D Anyway great Video, awesome build!
He really should have a second channel for the amount of time he spends on making projects and videos, he should be rewarded closer to the RU-vidrs that have a team of people that just crank out filler videos or use other people's content with commentary on 5 channels.
You can easily make a hydraulic 2 speed "transmission" by just using valves to switch between "hydraulic motors in parallel" and "hydraulic motors in series". Now each motor gets half of the oil, If you use valves to deliver all oil to 1 motor and the output oil of that motor to the inlet of the second motor, both will turn twice as fast as before...
good idea, also to give it brakes all you need is to engage the bypass and have a valve to shut off flow to the motors (valve in series), so that way the hydraulic motors will then become a pump but their flow is restricted, unless the motors dont work at all as pumps it should work just fine.
But with half the power to each. As long as that is enough to push at or above that speed, you're ok, otherwise it would end up slowing down. Except for the 2WD part, it would probably be better to make it feed just one wheel/motor.
@@SuperBrainAK I think restricting the inlet of the motors will give you bad brake performance because they will cavitate which also causes a lot of wear in the motors. I think it is better to restrict the output of the motors, that way they can build up pressure and therefore they will have a very good braking performance. But I think a pressure regulator is necessary to prevent the front wheel from blocking completely, so you don't fly over the handlebars.
@@addz17 I think the power loss is because the pump is rotating too fast and it is cavitating, max rpm of hydraulic pumps is below 3000 rpm, max rpm of those lawnmower engines is often above 4000 rpm. It may be better to reduce the rpm of the pump with 2:1 reduction and to install smaller hydraulic motors, that way the oil flow rate is lower and the pressure is higher. The high flow rate causes a lot of power loss, because the oil is heating up very quickly.
Wouldn't work....there is a time factor that Colin does not have to worry about in this video but in the Scrapheap series they are tied to a time.......maybe he would excell in Robot Wars.
When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time." "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" The Book of Truth
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Colin takes an advertisement and turn into a complete full-length video that we actually enjoy watching?! This man is an absolute legend!
I've been using a motorized bike as a daily for a few years now but this, this is.....this is something sophisticated beyond most people's comprehension. amazing.
I know you've got your safety tie but I fear one day we'll see a news story that Colin has a suffered a traumatic brain injury crashing one of his inventions. Would love to see some kind of mad max style helmet.
I imagine cause he now has to build in to the bunker and the house it's taking a lot longer due to all the foundations and piping and whatnot he will have to work around.
I like how Colin's sponsored content is no different from his normal content. he's just using the sponsor money as an excuse to make more of his usual insane machines while very loosely tying it in with whatever is sponsoring him..
it's almost like it's the other way around Ubisoft made a game so they could let Colin make a add for it. I mean building crazy shit from ordinary items is what Colin does
I think we call this entertainment. Without sponsors there is no calling for any other RU-vidr. They shouldn't make any difference who sponsors are just that they help fund his channel so he can do crazy crap like this. Don't take me wrong I mean crap in a good way. 😁
I've been mulling over a 2wd minibike with big old lawn tractor tires and wheels, would love to see Colin tackle a mudder like that. An old school cyclekart using 2 mopeds for driveline and wheels, modern cyclekarts sound pathetic with predator engines and torque converters. Lastly, a hand pumped Irish mail cart/touring bike, 10 or 15 speed w/4 wheels. And a proper ride height. Eating Honda bumpers on a recombinant is tedious at best and the chavs never have proper insurance anyways. Revisit water rockets to entertain the Rugrats. The designs and launch system we use works a treat.
My favorite part is that even though it wasn't really turning out how you wanted you still powered through and finished the project while continuing to learn.
those spacesavers make it look great, just looks like a great machine regardless of speed, the fact it now exists is a bonus for all mankind, amazing as usual
Colin, I think some of the nicest finds I got came from scrap yards. I bought welders, table saws, hand tools, and the like. People can be very wasteful.
I had one like that 50 years ago - a French Velo Solex. No hassle, just ready to ride out of the box ( ehrr... shop). Crazy vid, this one - But a lot of fun. That's what matter...
I agree also bikes can go 30 mph but usually they don't have about 200 kg of extra load. A pothole could be really bad. Edit approx 75-100 kilo extra load...
The best way to make a bicycle or motorcycle 2wd is with electricity. You can independently power the wheels with a motor in each hub, and you've got all kinds of clever programming to make it a little bit more dynamic, such as a 60/40 power ratio, soft starts, all the kind of things to make such a machine behave better on loose surfaces. Electric motors also don't really care if they're running out of sync either, so you don't have to worry about one motor fighting the other.
it's a bit hard to find a electric motor on a scrap heap. If they still work they are not scrapped. When you can find them at the tip. They don't work anymore. Also to then find batteries that can power said engine on a scrap heap is nearly impossible as they are not allowed near a scrap heap.
@@sirBrouwer Yeah, but the "not working" part could very from something completely trashed to an easy fix, I imagine? Although I guess electric motors of sufficient power aren't usually in hands of people who'd just throw something out without attempting a fix first
I loved seeing each version of the bike. You could've just left it at the Mk1 stage to meet your obligation to your sponsor but you went way further and probably paid out of pocket to make it better
