THE GOBLIN | An in-depth look at building a custom monster electric scooter 

Making things that go fast and make you look is just a part of it. If it inspires you to have your own vision and to make something that you love your own, that is everything ❤️ go you 🚀

For those who want to see the secrets of the Goblin, this is for you. Also quick teaser, Randy and I are working on a few projects that are going to blow your mind. Subscribe so you don't miss them!

Randy looks like a superhero when he rides the GOBLIN!!! 💪🏻🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎👍🏻

This is by far the most dangerous electric vehicle I've ever seen. Dude needs to find someone with a welder and make a proper frame, JB weld should NEVER be structural.

Man this is right up my alley! Awesome job. I built one, but with all the new tech available I really want to build a new one from scratch now....

So much thought and creativity! Mad respect! Artists and creative types understand and have an appreciation for what this man has built! 🙂👍

The video the PEV world has been waiting for!! Such an awesome collaboration between Randy and Alien Rides!!

Loved this video. It’s so thorough and you could see the commentary as he went through all aspects of his scooter. This was awesome!

Thank You for letting me know about this requested build video. It's good to know you listen to your viewers and give us what we want. For me, the keywords were QS Motor, and Sabvoton Motor Controller. Since I started building custom scooters in 1999 I'm officially old school, but I have made some incredible things along the way. I started building dual motor (BMC MAC 600's) Currie Scooters then Dual Motor (800 Watt X 2) Rad2Go scooters, then it got crazy with E-tec Motor and Alltrax controller on full custom chassis scooters. Mostly intended for blistering acceleration and wheelies. By this time I started ScooterFaster LLC in Phoenix and shortly after that the Phoenix City Council banned all scooters. ScooterFaster took a turn when I bought a bunch of Panterra electric scooter parts at auction in California. Business was good, but the "Vespa style" motorcycle scooter never gave me the riding thrill of a stand-up scooter. ScooterFaster closed in 2011, but I still have plenty of parts to make a nice stand up but they are still illegal here. I would love to visit your store some day and meet all the famous builders from the SF area. The new scooters blow me away, the dualtron has way more top speed than I can believe they sell to the public, crazy! Thanks again.

I was literally just thinking up some plans for a custom scooter build, and then this came up

Its very inspiring that you actually took the time to build this machine. You may end up becoming the next scooter Brand in the future.

Randy is a genius! I feel how he enjoy his work.

The guys a crazy genius, that’s some ride he’s built. It must have a piece of everything ever made! I see his leg is strapped up, he must have had a real heavy-duty fall?

Thank you for making this video, that Goblin is even crazyer than I thought .

Thanks for the video! It is great to get this perspective. I have had the honor to ride a few times now with the Goblin and it is a beast and such a striking e-scooter. Hopefully once we ride again I can take some high speed chasing shots with my quadcopter. I only had my 5" quadcopter on this past ride so I wanted to keep a safe distance from folks. It was also crazy windy. However, I just finished a more people friendly chase quad with prop guards so I can fly through the crowd really low without fear of injury. Looking forward to the upcoming projects.

Hi Alien Rides. Last week I mentioned I was inspired by the Goblin build and I went ahead and worked on my busted No Brand scooter that's a mix between Uberscoot and Evo. After replacing all 15 Mosfets on the control board, it blew up when energized. LOL..So, I went ahead and cut all the wires, which was something I did Not want to do, and installed a spare control board. Well, Voila..the damned this started working after watching a plethora of videos on RU-vid and finally got it Right after a whole Friggin year. Now I can do my weekly beer runs, man. I subscribed and having a blast watching you have crazy azz fun. Cheers, man. Eugene

I love this machine. The fact that it can tow makes it even cooler.

Love this content bro! This thing is true 👽👽👽... love projects like this. Your channel has been the main inspiration for my own simple build 💯💯💯 it's videos like this that truly inspire me... Thanks!

Wow Randy is the man! I have 1 quick suggestion for him which should be easy for him to improve that thing: get rid of them G clamps in the middle of that thing! Replace them with a steel plate held in place with two 10mm bolts which you can quickly remove when you need to by using a battery drill with socket attachment. Them G clamps sticking up like that are dangerous! And doesn’t look cool either. Other than that one thing, I love this machine! What a BEAST!

Yeahhhh,the video I was waiting for, what a treat, thanks buddy. There's always a bigger and better creativity.

lol literally I was thinking about this vehicle yesterday

I love the goblin 😎👍🏼

More videos about scooters tuning and customisations please. You are the best.

Ok I knew it couldn't just be me. That thing is crazy, Love it.

Good alternative to “too many washers” are little pipes you slide over the tube. Big long washer

finally !!! it's been a while I know this beast.... great

Too Mad Max for me... I'll still keep dreaming of the Dualtron Storm

This guy's absolutely nuts! I love it!

update on the bajaboard project. i went back over my 10s12p battery and realized i made a wiring error on the BMS, i fixed the wire connection and location for power and now everything works, so far. with all the new extra cables and i cant use the stock deck lid because all the extra wires and cables wont allow it. so now im planing on building my own custom deck lid and hollowing out the insides to make room for all the extra cables and BMS. THEN i can finally take it for a test ride. im always happy to see more custom build interviews like this in depth just to pick at the owners mind to see what solutions they came up with for various problems

At 11:03 wowwww look out with power wires... Jesus!!! 😱 Drone almost hit those wires, that was really really close! 😳😳😳

The video I was waiting for! Thanks man

Great vid! When I first caught a glimpse of the Goblin in a group ride clip, I thought WTF is that?!! I suspected it was a custom fabricated machine, so it was great to have Randy explain about it. I'm guessing he works in IT as I did? Not many people would just grab server power cables. The big power connectors are usually used for electric Fork Lifts and other high current applications, so certainly up to the task. I suspect there's a similar audio background there too as Randy just happened to have an amplifier case handy! I love this sort of mechanical creativity and did similar stuff when I was racing a 250cc water-cooled, 2 stroke grass kart. Fitted a programable ignition system and designed a flat shift gear lever. Would rip through gears at full throttle with front wheels in the air! Just got into scooters 6 months ago and about to upgrade my WideWheel dual to a Mantis Duo after watching so many reviews on this channel. Cheers heaps for this one!

The monster, thank you for this video

One of my top E-transportation reviewer!!!! Still waiting on that seat configuration video for the dualtran!

Awesome episode dude, that thing is crazy cool

U need a GPR stabilizer/damper, it has a radial arm and mounts central so its out of the way.

Awesome creation.. Definately one of a kind.. Ingenious 👌

Awesome Scooter! I've Snowboard since 30+ Years here in Switzerland and every time i ride a Scooter i want to duplicate that feeling, so i totally get you in that regard ;)

Amazing, could be nice to see step by step how to build this kind of scooter!!

C'est vraiment une machine incroyable, surtout lorsque l'on voit le scooter de départ .... ! Bravo, merci de nous donner autant d’inspiration, maximum respecte Monsieur ...!!! ;-)

dude get yourself a cheap welder and an angle grinder and all this would be so much easier your possibilities would really open up. very cool though. thanks for uploading the video.

I just wish it wasn't such a hack job. Very cool idea

The Frankenstein Scooter...... It's Alive!... Alive I tell you!!!!! 😜😎

This is awesome great video!!

👍 for your effort. Well done. I like that scooter very much.

😁The new original X-Treme Goblin. Brilliant job.

Incredible build. Great vid as always.

really loved this thing... grt efforts man. Gonna build mine soon...

Definitely a monster build! I hope to build something similar!

Now I know what happened to the cut content in Cyberpunk 2077 😜

That is super dope. I love the trailer.

Thing is a BEAST

One of the best electric scooter video ever! I had to watch the video many many times.

Probably one of the most awesome things I've ever seen.....a big step up from making your own skateboard but never say never yeah? Only problem in the UK is, they've made hire scooters legal for a trial period - which makes no sense but privately owned normal scooters are still illegal.... something like this will get me nicked every 100 metres :-( Nice vid mate...

Every interesting indeed. A razor turned into a Rat Scooter. Well done genius, I'm impressed.

Actually a video I'm genuinely interested in!

Would you be willing to share the BOM of parts? I would like to build something similar and your advice could save me some trouble and time. Thanks!

I'm rockin a sevcon gen4 size6 W/ motenergy1616. Either scooter or mobility scooter build. Any suggs on programming/dongle?

That looks insane!

Wow that awesome. I gotta question for u if u don't mind. I have 36v lead acid battery scooter and I want to changeit to a lithium. Do I need to change the controller also?. Ty

You guys are insane in a good way. Amazing. 🚀 Love the tech. Looks a beast. Just the fact you put that monster 👾 together. Yeah I'm up for a challenge build a monster.

The Goblin is so sick, I’d love to ride that thing

Dam I'm wish you were in Orlando Florida so we can meet up and journey ride together. So difficult to find other hardcore electric scooter lovers to ride with. I'm riding the Out Storm Maxx.. This scooter is a beast in its own right. 55 mph brute power.

Just follow the heat to find your weakest link the resistance is translated as heat and weather your motor can't run as hard as you demand and gets hottest or the controller is being overworked and it is hottest and any spots in your wiring that have resistance in line will heat up at that point and if it is too hot put a better wire, connector, or component until the whole system runs without overheating until you are really doing something you shouldn't like full throttle up hill 1 motor and after 2 miles your full throttle and half speed thats never gonna be good. Turn on all your motors and controllers and splitt the load between the motors and try and just use half your amps and run up the hill at like 1500whatts be smart and you wont have to overbuild too much. Awesome build though man I have 2 scooters but nothing like this so please know I mean respect for your adventure man

Very cool scooter, I think yours is just a little faster than mine!

Can you tell the specifications for this beast

I have the same lights on my wolf king gt but also have two extra small ones on each side of the main centre one. If u want to light up Ur entire neighbour hood. Job well done

Awesome machine you got there. I just ordered a Fieabor 60V 32AH 5600W dual motor. Any suggestions for a first time rider?

All it needs now to complete is Flux Capacitor and Mr Fusion job done! 😂😂😂

He should take the Honda ruckus body and modified it to an electric scooter 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Cleanest build ever,keep them coming 😊

Yes, More goblin please.

I modelled my scooter after his, eventually I want to copy his exact build.

One of the scooter companies need to hire this guy

C-Clamps and JB Weld. Just missing the duct tape! Maybe it’s there and I didn’t see it!

I really want to get into building custom scooters. What are the best sites to buy parts on? Just aliexpress?

Dat ride stance tho.... 🤘🤠

Hello from Russia! Frankenstein , monster electric scooter!

man would love to build something like this i dont even want a hyper scooter just like one that can hit 60 or so but more so go offroading without a single issue and have at least 150 miles of range but those batteries would be heavy and expensive and even if i had the tools parts and place to build one i just couldnt be bothered

The big tire at the rear means it travels faster ? Covers more ground quicker !

So If I want an external battery. Its ok if the Ah do not match, as long as the voltage of the battery does?

Front and rear tires moving at different speeds cause speed wobble. Just from looking at it I can tell the death wobble on this thing gets fierce when it goes fast. Get the same size front tire as the rear and it'll do 90 completely stable

AMAZING!!!

Awesome👍

Wow man, what an awesome build! 40% Jank, 60% Insanity. The perfect combination man, your build is unlike anything I’ve seen anywhere else man, be proud knowing you inspired me to go even further the first time I saw it! Your angle for rake is the only one that I’ve seen that makes any shred of sense. Well done getting that steering geometry dialed in like that! The trailer build is amazing too man, now you’ve got a hybrid system! Electrically powered and refuelled by petrol/diesel/gas. What’s the reasoning for the larger voltage pack in the trailer vs the Goblin itself? Running sneaky series? 😈 Wow man, a QS motor aye, not too bad at all and 190ft-lb is no joke, sounds about on par with some of spinningmagnets builds. The thermal density must be such a lifesaver on that motor, I bet you could double your voltage before you start seeing any kinds of issues with it! Genuinely impressed with the build and I’m super keen to follow along the way! Surprised you only went with a 150amp capable sabvoton for that motor, surely it wants the 600amp ones? Thanks for this video guys, the Goblin has been plaguing my dreams lately 😂

Need to know wich 12 inch or 13inch the rear bldc hub.

Design 🚀, in the future, smth flying.. 😎 Cool 🍀

Hi Randy, fantastic build. Just wanted to ask why you didn't opt for a larger front wheel diameter to match the rear or were you restricted by the fork. I've been looking at using pit bike forks to try and increase the front but just wanted to check if there were any particular reasons you opted for the smaller wheel ?

Is there any update on the goblin? Also does randy have a yourube channel or Instagram to follow and see how the build is going.

Good ole JB weld! Send it!

This is a piece of art for sure. I'm just wondering the feeling when you are driving with few bomb

That is pretty cool

Do you know where I could get longer steering damper please

Love alien rider❤️

where did you get the Steering damper do you have a number for it

Hi could you please ask Randy the tyre size he used. i know in the video he mentioned the wheel size 12x5 inch. Im designing a scooter to use a very similar sized motor any would like to know what tire he is running on it. Thanks.

Ses incroyables cette trottinette super cool 😎

F'n Awesome Brah!

Nice one scooter 👌dobro 💯👌

This dude does not blink
