This is really cool idea. One thing I would do differently though, I would add a chain cover. If you throw a chain from a worn out link it might take some skin with it if the chain fliys off of the sprocket just right.
I really love how you showed us that motor all hooked up to nothing just vibrating and purring on the table. It's a raw obtainable cheap efficient power source. So many ideas. Could I power 4 wheels with 4 motors? Can you combine multiple motor powers like 3 motors to 1 wheel? Magical stuff man.
A nice illustration of some mechanical principles - thank you. One of the more subtle issues is that more gearing is required because the centrifugal clutches are more of an on-off device, only fully engaging at over half the full rev range. This means that without the correct set of ratios they are always slipping or only work with downhill / gravity assistance, and a push start is absolutely needed. Am gonna have a go at a 3 or 5 speed rear internal geared hub 4 stroke engine version.
I have done those scooters back in the past 3 decades ago. You would have to change the sprocket ratio I believe right now your scooter won't move stand still you will have to push first to get it started especially with the clutch still on it. Also the clutch will burn out. The best way is to remove the clutch weld the lug nut on the motor shaft place the motor as closest possible to the tire with the lug nut firmly pressed against the tire weld motor in place and you're done.(you may have to fill up the tire with more air pressure) to start the motor you have to do is stand on the scooter with one foot with the other push yourself into the motor start and you'll keep driving you will hit about 20 to 25mph guaranteed
Hey man great job on using what you got and making a solid simple project I don't give a crap what people say on this you make do with what you got and you did and it looks good and functions.
I have a near-identical engine in a powered earth auger (drills holes in the ground) and I agree with you: When it hits a rock, I reckon the kick from it could easily break your wrist of you weren't holding it the right way. I think that we all tend to forget just got powerful even small engines can be...
Wow...look at the expertise of armchair fabricators out there. I don’t know how they carry around the burden of so much wisdom 😂. Nice build - way to be resourceful with what you got 👍🏼
His home had refuse recycling. Hardly a young man of poverty and no means. But yeah, he uses his head. The scooter works and he inspired some kids that now want a stick welder, cutoff saw and drill press. You need the tools to build your dreams.
incredible project if I were I would replace the platinum with a used one and send it to a mechanical turner to machine a flange to fit the pinion for the chain pinion and crown ratio kit I would never cut but It was sensational amazing job
Hey love the vid!! Do you think with a different gear ratio, you could go faster? I was thinking you could even use a bike cassette with several gears and you could have a manual shifter
Yeah, i was thinking the same. I even think i want to try installing battery/starter/sound system/alternator/proper seat/roof/mini fan/etc etc hahahaha..
Thank you I’m building somthing different a mini car and you helped me find out how to make the wheel move because I didn’t know I had to make the bolt thing for the chain had to be connected to wheel and spin with the wheel
Definitely cool and awesome if you to share the video to inspire and teach others how to do something like this. But be careful it would hurt to fall at that top speed of 3.5 miles per hour
nice vid hopefully you need to put a reinforcement steel bar on the side of the motor in addition more improvising for the ped itself. ride safe out there! and by nice motor you have ❤
The single plate needs more reinforcement to be a robust design. Currently, there is too much flexing and bending and welds be breaking at the bottom frame rails.
Since this video covered needed aspects of the project, I'm not criticizing in any way ''at all'', but simply suggesting. I might've added a brace or braces to that vertical motor mount plate to help prevent your welds from cracking due to motor or bumpy road vibrations, however, since the frame was obviously heavy enough gauge steel that you could use a ''stick welder'', it may not matter. Instead of that plate, I may've welded another plate onto the frame to bolt the motor mount plate onto & added some slots to 1 of the plates so you could adjust the motor's position for whatever reason. Since you added that chain tension idler, the slots may not be needed to adjust your motor whichever way it ''might'' be needed . A very simple, yet excellent build. I've been wanting to build a 4-wheeled version of ''something'' powered with a weed-eater or chainsaw engine. I've torn apart chainsaws & know their drive setup, but since I haven't got around to tearing into 1 of these things yet, I wasn't sure what all was in 1 so this video was ''VERY BENEFICIAL'' in showing how simple the things are. GREAT JOB & GREAT VIDEO, SIR.
Menarik dan kreatif...banyak engine motor yang tersadai boleh la kerajaan buat inisiatif rekabina kenderaan bermotor gunakan barang² tersebut jika mahu jimat kos sambil mengajar anak murid kan?..kesian bangkai² kenderaan tersebut tidak dimanfaatkan,setiap unit dicop hak milik kerajaan...next
Сразу видно что автор не вдавался в рассчёты, из-за этого самокат еле едит и движок только палит сцепление, а нормально разогнать никогда не получится. Проблема в слишком большой ведущей звезже, максимум она должна быть на 8 зубьев, но лучше 6. Сварка это отдельная тема и долго она не проживёт. Для того чтобы пластину на которой крепится двигатель не оторвало в первые минуты, нужно было приварить несколько расскосов.
