Hi everybody, thanks for watching! I am planning to do a mild restoration on my 1973 beetle. Some cutting and welding (maybe even a body off) and a complete respray. Would you be interested in that kind of content? Leave a comment below ;)
@@russellzauner unfortunately I built that thing long before I thought filming stuff for youtube. However I based my design on the bender built by "home built by jeff" on youtube. He has a few vids on it. Look him up, he is a real craftsman👍
I watch a lot of custom building of stuff on RUclips and this is honestly the best most practical thing I have seen in a long time. Not a single part of this feels like it is over engineered or overthought. Super elegant design looks fantastic and the ideal commuter scooter. Fantastic man great work!
Sure, plenty have built VolksPods before, but yours stands above them all. Instead of simply slapping the body over a stock or lightly modified mini-bike frame, you custom engineered your own frame. A frame very complimentary to the entire design. The mounting points on the frame to affix the body panel to the frame was SHEER BRILLIANCE!!! By going electric, mounting the battery high, you left a nice little storage cubby suitable to carry items back home with you. I’ve watched your video 10 times now, and wish I could receive a crate box with your handiwork inside delivered to my driveway. It is simply a beautiful work of art in every way. Please share with us… what is your background? How did you obtain your engineering skills?
@@yahtutik6982 I can't speak a word of Indonesian, but I figured out what you were saying, lol. By reading up about Jengki architecture in Indonesia and how it was a rejection of the mainstream and colonialism and finding their own identity and independence. So basically, by the phrase modifikasi jengki, you're saying "not a mainstream/typical modification", right? That must be pretty close, I figure.
That little bugger is amazing! Really cool, I like it. You could surely make some sort of pouch that goes in the space below the battery, couldn't you? That area looks absolutely perfect for small storage!
Such a pleasure to watch a master craftsman, skilled in concept, and engineering, with a keen aesthetic sense. The video was entertaining the whole way through. Also, perfectly well done. Bravo.

Now that is the coolest mini motorcycle 🏍 I’ve seen. Nice 👍 I love the color 😉 Street legal 🤔 Very nice homemade tube bender. Beautiful finished product, you should definitely make & sell 💯
What a beautiful design. The reference to DIY does not apply to everyone like one comment suggested. You are blessed with a vision and a skill set to match. Cheers!
Beautiful build. How's the balance? The seating position looks pretty far back over the back wheel. Does it have a tendency to lift the front wheel or have light steering? I love the subtle curves you gave it to the back where it flairs out a bit but not too much. Very tastefully done.
im a pro cycle frame builder. much love for the work but ya i share the sentiment. on a steep hill that thing would likly flip over backward. but, at the speed it travels i doubt its a real issue in this case
Congratulations for your work, but as an engineer I am curious about some things: 1st: How did you make this mini bike road legal in Belgium? In Hungary the rules of this process are strict, and people with custom designed and made vehicles need to cope with difficulties in order to get the permition of roadworthiness to use their vehicle on public roads. 2nd: The center of weight of the bike seems to be a little bit far from the center line of the bike when you sit on it and ride. What are your experiences with the propensity for lifting the scooter's front wheel? 3rd: What is the range of the scooter with one charge? Thank you for your kind answer in advance!
I am a autobody technician and painter of 33yrs. I've also have fabricated and painted show cars. That being said the noise of that Dewalt or Makita 4" grinder cut off wheel is like nails on a chalkboard. Plasma cutter......Air shears.......Jig saw with bimetal blade, anything but that 4" grinder/cut off wheel. They are not allowed in my shop. You have good skills though. 👍
WHAT? WHAT? How does one NOT want this?!!! How freaking cool is this thing! I need 3 of them ASAP! Local restaurant and coffee shop runs with my wife and son are a MUST. We'll make vests and call ourselves The Fender Bender Club. Can we get a Cadillac CTS fender version too? Those headlights are distinctive, although I suppose a junker CTS donor might be hard to come by!

Just subscribed, I'm interested in seeing more of your projects. Keep it up.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Most definitely
Oddly enough, if you have a video where you show the design/construction of your tube bender I'd want to watch it.
@@russellzauner unfortunately I built that thing long before I thought filming stuff for youtube. However I based my design on the bender built by "home built by jeff" on youtube. He has a few vids on it. Look him up, he is a real craftsman👍
Yes, do it
It looks like something a “Minion” would ride to run errands for Gru! It’s truly fantastic 😁
lol
kinda similar to the scooter used in the lorax movie
If it really seems like something Illumination would do
when someone says: "why didn't I think about it?" it's because you had a great idea, wonderful I would say!
A tooootalllyyy cool ride!!! Ingenious! Congrats!
Wicked cool, "The Volkspod." Color is great, goes nicely with the tail light and turn signal. The confluence of art and engineering. Thank you.
Not just the idea…the workmanship is beautiful
At a Beetle show and shine, you would probably see a bigger crowd around the mini beetle. 👏🏆

Mini bike, modifikasi jengki

The lorax
Brilliant. Well done on creating such a simple and straightforward design. I like your choice of paint.
it genuinely looks so smart. Would be a great production model, tbh - it has the vibe of a cafe racer hahaha
I could see it being very popular in France and Italy
Amazing work.TOPPP…!!!
I love it when people can vision things and make them a reality. Can't wait to see your VW restoration
I love the look of this. Both futuristic and retro at the same time. Top notch!
This is hands down the most awesome mini bike i ever saw. I absolutely love it!
The move lorax has one way better if only it wasn't a movie

Fantastic build! I would roll that everyday! Well done!

Even if you didn't like Volkswagen this is a Beautiful thing, a work of art.

Watch the movie lorax they done it before
I too like farting in ceramic jars

Absolutely fantastic! One of the most beautiful design concepts I've ever seen.
😲Ohh my god😱
Mind blowing
AS.AHMED🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Very cool idea and project (looks great), but it needs a pair of shock absorbers (front and back) to ride better in bumpy and bad roads in general.
I wish when I was in school, this is what they'd taught. Real, raw trade skills. It looks fantastic.
dang incredible build with class.Just pull molds from those and sell em on ebay in fglass or carbon.
You are a true designer who can also build your own concepts !! Well done Henny !!
Красота ! Захотелось повторить что нибудь только из старого Запорожца .
It’s great to see how organically shaped fenders are transformed into a modern looking chassis. Lean and mean design!
Now that is the coolest mini motorcycle 🏍 I’ve seen. Nice 👍 I love the color 😉 Street legal 🤔 Very nice homemade tube bender. Beautiful finished product, you should definitely make & sell 💯
This has to be the most ultimate retro little number I have ever seen. 😍
Genius idea and design! I wish I could own one! :)
Your scooter is in another level. So creative and so beautiful.
Очень необычно.
И красиво.
Was für eine traumhaft schöne Werkstatt du doch hast! 🙏❤️🌹
You very creative bro, love your build 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Genius genius two of them side-by-side coming at you and going away from you would almost look like a beetle LOL
Really beautiful and thoughtful. A work of art. Well done!
Dude the entire test drive at the end of the video I discovered I had a huge smile on my face without realizing it till the end. So impressive.
This is very cool 😎 I keep watching it over and over , love it .
Nice to watch a skilled craftsman at work.
Vet geworden Hendrik! Ik vind het altijd zo knap om dat plaatwerk zo strak te krijgen👌🏻
Most excellent use of eyeballs and wood blocks. 😁👍
Great build 👍
It just looks so casual and proper. Great great job👍
Oh man, that is so cool, absolutely love it !
Гениально!!! От задумки до воплощения сказочно крассивый аппарат!!!😎😉🙂☺😀😄🙄💪👌👏🖒👍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Dude u gotta cut up a white wall and a rim in half for both sides to make it look like a tire is in the fender
The paint job on the wheel is exceptional
That is very unique. Great job! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent job 👍
Super nice build!! Love it!!
What a beautiful design. The reference to DIY does not apply to everyone like one comment suggested. You are blessed with a vision and a skill set to match. Cheers!
Beautiful job 👏👏
Leuk project 👍🏻 die fiets op de achtergrond ziet er ook wel speciaal uit 😀 grts vanuit Antwerpen
Check mijn vorige filmpje voor de build van de fiets😏
@@hennybutabi ga ik zeker doen 😉
Goed gedaan makker!
Groeten van Christophe
This is the most creative idea and workshop I ve ever seen... Extremely gorgeous... this can make you rich...

Thanks😏. Its indeed a bit light in the front, but nothing to worry about. Actually it drives very well👌
Limited edition, how many could you sell all over the world ?
@@pariexon1107 great question, I can see people actually buying this. This was very cool !!

Just commenting, so I can see a reply, in case some insight is given. Awesome build! Very inspirational style.
It's awesome.. seems like riding a real flying beetle....😍
Это безусловно заслуживающая внимания, гениальная, интересная, прикольная, но совершенно неудобная, ненужная и бесполезная вещь.. ))
Да и ещё не понятно какой привод.
Cool idea and that finish is like glass!
Excellent, beau et bon travail.
Modèle unique, trop beau
Very good job
Thats so cool nice one
What would it have looked like with 2 turn indicators on the sides ?
I guess we will know when you post your video.
Everything is impressive... But the paint is spectacular!!!!
FOR SALE ...???
WOW WOW WOW. Hands down the absolutely coolest thing I've ever seen created. My God it's perfect!
Muito criativo, parabéns, faltou o pisca pisca pra entrar direita ou esquerda
I absolutely love your tube bender
Have you tried testing it's maximum range? And great work by the way
In description
Beautifully done like a factory product 👌 👏 👍
Ficou muito bom ❤️🇧🇷
Reminds me a little bit of Randy Grubb’s Decopods. Awesome work
Projeto excelente muito parecido com a fusconeta do Brasil, no entanto por ser elétrica ficou mais top.
A hard-tail for the _Minions._ Nice work!
what a beautiful work of art. I think a VW logo would be a nice addition to the front
Wooww keren......👍👍👍
Cara Modifikasi motornya bagus juga , Semangat terus kawan Sukses selalu Yah 🙏🙏
Mass produce. Looks like a fun vehicle to drive.
Absolutely fantastic! That looks bloody brilliant! But, on a purely personal level I'd love to see a tadpole trike version with two headlamps!!
Am I the only one that smiled and chuckled when that guy rode by on a bug fender?
This is the cutest Electric Bike ever
It's so cute, simple and beautiful.
I want one.
Yellow and minion comes to mind watching this Cool little project

Thanks for sharing creativity and talent. Just subscribed. I wish you wear a mask all the toxic dust and fumes.
I want one just to place in my Livingroom to look at. Beyond Cool.
Dude awesome, being a vw freak back in the day, thus thing is sweet.
I think it's well done. Guy has a plan, acts on it and created it from scratch. Like how I sew.
this is a very unique motorbike, cool, including a rare motorbike if it is made like this
That's crazy I would have never thought of anything like that great job
nice. Also thanks for the quick preview of the end result at the beginning of your video.
It actually looks like it belongs on the road. Top marks.
Bravo! Beautiful build...
you had an idea, put it on paper, and then you built it,Kudos to you.
By the way, that was an awesome idea. And you build it all yourself.
I love it! Beautiful workmanship.
Very creative and fun art on wheels 😎👍🏻
the best use of a vw ever. No I only thought that for a moment and changed my mind.
Fantastic build! it looks like a crazy ColinFurze Build. Verry cool !
WHAT? WHAT?
How does one NOT want this?!!! How freaking cool is this thing! I need 3 of them ASAP! Local restaurant and coffee shop runs with my wife and son are a MUST. We'll make vests and call ourselves The Fender Bender Club.
Can we get a Cadillac CTS fender version too? Those headlights are distinctive, although I suppose a junker CTS donor might be hard to come by!
