Rare Floating Mini Car? 

What should we do with the Spira? Also anyone have a better RU-vid video title? struggling with that on this video

Just when you think you've seen everything on RU-vid - Matt Spears says, "Hold my beer" and does something utterly mind blowing. 🤯

the drift into perfectly framed segue at 4:17 was impressive

Matt you've got Balls Of Steel ... You're a Legend Bro!! 👊

Dude first the Busa, then the goldwing and now Sister Nancy man I love this channel!!

Uncle Matt's turkey call is on point. Glubllllugblug awesome

Owned it for less than a day and you are already missing a fender and float tested it. This new ride suits you. I am excited for what the future holds.

Been loving the content lately! Keep it up bro

It needs a smile painted on it between those headlights that look like eyes

Super futuristic!! Im stoke where this is gonna go!

This is prime material for a Matt Spears / Aging Wheels crossover

I can see the hayabusa swap already happening in your brain and i love it

Dude, you make me smile the entire videos!!! Congrats from Uruguay

I'm not a motorcycle guy but your energy is awesome dude. Finally RU-vid algorithm works and suggest correctly second time first one is pole barn garage second one is you

Lift it, put some tread on it (it’s a mini tank) and then paint it gold- as nod to the Goldwing and your ability to transform anything with a motor into gold-you’re an alchemist!!!

Just when we think you’re gonna zig, you Zag. Great content!

I can’t believe it still worked after you flooded it!!!

What a great proof of concept for a new kind of vehicle. Something like this, priced right, massaged a bit in terms of design (or hell, even as-is), could definitely change the world. If only they were manufactured and sold at scale. What a world we might live in.

We need to watch it cross the country

Effin' hilarious! Matt, your unbridled childish joy is infectious and made my day. Thank you! 🤣

The offroad capabilities is directly correlated to hip thrust strength

Nailed the turkey call bud!

2 58 something flys behind matt from another dimension

That was wild, tiny ev car from snowy off-road to the lake, looks like you guys had a blast!

You could put two two stroke racing scooter engines in that with steering brakes for when it wheelies! Off road will trash it quick though.

This is freaking amazing!

You pull everything through your arse 😂😂😂 Mat Enjoyed

I'm pretty sure the power going to the one wheel is due to a differential or diff for short. The diff gives power based on what can use the most of it, this is useful for having 1 wheel spin faster around a corner to save tire wear. The problem with diffs is that when offroading if 1 side has significantly less grip its going to give all of the motors thrust to that wheel, due to this technologies such as diff-locks and limited slip diffs exist for offroad vehicles. A diff lock locks the diff making both wheels rotate at the same speed no matter what and a limited slip diff limits the ratio of how much 1 wheel can spin faster than the other. In your case 1 side has ice and the other gravel, the icy wheel is going to start slipping an take all of the engines power to only that wheel.

The pool noodle steering column is as innovative as it is sick.

The background music makes the video epic!

Introducing, the hot air mobile balloon car. A true triple threat

loved seein it drift the mounain roads

Build project idea: a trike with two QS motor hubs at the * front * and fly-by-wire arduino-controlled proportional power to each motor to provide steering input instead of a traditional rack and pinion system.

Needs wings and a small jet engine. A flying, driving, amphibious adventure vehicle. Suits you perfectly sir!

Love it. Cool adventure.

Damn that looks fun!

How fun! You sir are just a bit crazy.

Awesome dude!

Absolutely love the vibe mate and you his crew give out loving life to the max.Thank you so much Matt you and your boys are living the dream keep it coming One love peace out from Weston super mare south west of the UK

Oh no my boy is working his way up until he gonna strap a million balloons to a house and make it fly

Dude. Best video yet. 😂

Iv always wanted to see a electric vehicle that's directly powerd by some kind of motorcycle engine hooked up to a generator. No battery. I was going to suggest just plain gas swapping it. But with hub motors it would be quite difficult and would probably compromise the whole floating thing with driveshafts and such. But say a bussa engine driveing a generator that directly powers the hub motors would probably rip and you'll have all the range you desire.

I'm hella surprised you got it up Nettleton Gulch alone

Put the Goldwing engine in it

Matt is slowly becoming whistlindiesel and I love it

Add front wheel drive. Up grade shocks and some dirt tires. It would be cool. 👍 Keep up the good videos.

The Cars and Cameras hovercraft crossover episode needs to happen! Think it’ll make it to the Carolinas 😂

Nice to hear sister Nancy

1 minute in. already a W im in love with it XD

Hey Matt, you should do a 100 miles challenge! Great work on the videos! :D

Whatever item you fall in love with is doomed for immediate destruction

Awesome dude

Love it mate 🤣🤣

I think a fun idea would be to cross lake tahoe in it after you get a paramotor or something like that, or maybe find some strong water jets and make sure it doesn't sink. "We put a paramotor on a floating car and crossed Lake Tahoe" or something. Maybe to prevent it from sinking get an emergency CO2 or Nitrogen that fills some ballasts or something quickly incase it does start to go down or have a chase boat that can attach a rope quickly or something. Or hayabusa swap...

A long range mod test would be dope...see how far it can go, normal driving as is. Then, with as many mods as you can imagine (aux fuel / generator / charger), aero, etc...see how far you can get it to go on one fill up!

That’s crazzzzy!!! 🤣🤙🏼

Damn good one , 🤘🏻 🌟 🤘

Some kind of overlanding involving water crossings would be great

Grind hard plumbing has done some cool stuff with e-vehicles

definitely need to put some dirt bike tyres on it

I'm still surprised by the low subscriber count. You deserver way more

Hmmm, atv tire on the front and paddles on the rear? Should work in the dunes and help in the water? Fill the bottom with foam to plug the holes

That was fun! Where did your buddy find this thing?

Kind of mad that you beat it up so bad so fast. That thing is actually super cool 😎

You absolutely can charge the battery and drive at the same time.

Obscene Distance Challenge - Pull a small trailer with a couple of Generators running and drive out on a quintessential American Road Trip lol que the 70's soundtrack

Theres things are about to be selling everywhere. With double the power and some tires that thing would be a death trap of fun

And I got to say your choice in music is fucin RPIC I'm 52 so HUGE Cooper fan good shit kid!

pretty sure you can rent these on the gold coast queensland australia and in Bali

MATT SPEARS...INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN ON THE MICROPHONE

This is some quality content hahahaha

we need a collab between whistlin diesel and matt spears

Hell yeah!!

The motors on that thing are qs 273 based,, good motors, plenty of room to upgrade,,, find the controller see what amps its running

Probably can through a generator in there, but you're probably pulling more current from thr battery than the generator is putting in, but all depends how fast you drive it. The motor controller probably has a charger interlock signal, to prevent you driving away with the thing plugged into the wall. Youll have to bypass that signal.

70 mph in a three wheeler!? Fuck that, that's a death trap. No, no, no.

Please add suspension offroad tyres and high ground clearance

just needs a regular steering wheel and that's the bomb!

I´d fix the steering first for sure, that should be easily doable, either a dirtbike handlebar in there or just a regular steering wheel. Second i´d look into bigger tires, not much but it needs nobbies for sure. Third i´d try and take off absolutely everything that is styrofoam and build an outer cage around it for obvious reasons if or when you roll down one of those mountains. Fourth, bigger controller, bigger engine, bigger batteries:p

Yes, you can. And wouldn't be hard to do. That's what they call a hybrid before. High bread's where I thing I seen one that was a small electric car towing a trailer for the generator that's how they got large distance between towns. In the way the steering is set up. That's The very first. golf carts used to be many years ago.

This is an unoriginal and not very creative idea, but it would be awesome to see that thing built up to be a beast like Grind Hard is doing to their ChangLi. Some proper offroad tires on it would be sick, but I guess finding some that fit without having to mod the car would be hard. Making it properly amphibious would be sweet as well.

Crazy

Someone plays Skate 3 with that music choice.

Need to put some Pirelli Scorpions on that thang.

Two snowmobile tracks on the back and a ski on the front, then hit the pow...

You need a roof rack that's long enough for you to use as a sleeping platform. Go on a camping adventure!! lol

I burst out laughing when it actually worked after bahahahaha fucking epic video SUBSCRIBED DISTANT FREIND

Get some bigger wheels and better suspension. If you want more power get higher wattage motors for more power. Also would be cool if you put a ski on the front and paddles on the rear wheels

9:07 .. me, me!! 😹

Fix the electrical, put some off-roading tires on it, and then send it again.

I’m surprised that it doesn’t have regen braking. That would be the best way to charge it while your driving it.

Was it advertised as being able to float?

i bet you could find lighter weight and more energy dense battery cells for it. improving the range alone could do you alot.

Put some little knobbly tyres on the rear wheels

Do a BDR trip! Dirt tires and an onboard generator.

OVERLANDING BUILD!!

You guys should pun off road tires on it

buys a floating car proceeds to take it off roading then wonders why it sinks

I don’t know why you would make a floating car like this if it’s not mobile in the water as well but I guess with a little creative ingenuity you could make it a a little more mobile in the water🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏼

Recommend, one transverse Tesla (meaning inline with length) motor from an "s" class, and somehow fit a steering wheel geometry in. Likely never be stable either way, voltages, and charging issues. But honestly Why? Changed my while writing....lol 🍻 cheers.
