Can I Convert A Bike Into A Unicycle?

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In this video I worked on turning an old bike into a working unicycle. This project was started right at the beginning of the COVID19 world pandemic, and our country was going into lock-down. I worked almost every day on this project using almost only the bike to make the unicycle.
One of the main reasons I decided to film this build and start this channel, was that I looked online for how to turn a bike into a unicycle, but there was nothing there. I knew it could be done so I set out to change that and help other people on their maker journey not run into the problem I had
Over 10 hours of footage and countless hours of editing in this video.
If you plan on making a unicycle from a bike, I would love to see it. You would have accomplished my dream with this video.

you Sir, are amazing!
this was a 100% success
i wish i were as creative, enthusiastic and hard working as you
also, great warning sign - "If you don't know whats going on, you wouldn't understand" XDXD
Great quality video. Suggestion: The mandalorian's helmet from the Disney+ show
I've looked everywhere on RUclips and this is the only video that tried to DIY a unicycle hub. Keep up the great work.
Thanks man. I had the same problem so I decided to make a video to fix the problem.
Great work Daniel. I really like your production quality, thought processes, awesome attitude and humour. God bless your efforts.
Dude! Great video and great work! The sequence at 21:20 is super cool, the lights sparkling. Also very nive project and unicycle. Thanks for showing us the whole process all the little mistakes that we all can learn from, super important. Again, great job.
Thanks man.
Thank you brother
Thank you so much
Great video, I look forward to seeing more of your builds! You are great at showing your work and thinking. I also like the professional quality of your videos!
Next time try a real bolt on petal arm. you are almost to completion. Try 3/4 inch axle weld to wheel will have more strength.
Next time just take one good slam of a hammer to take off pedals it's easier and way faster
Dude. Really like your project and the way you explained every detail you were about to make. I still don't get why you wouldn't use the portion of the screw and place it thru the pedal before welding. I think that may have been better idea. Also why the bearing? I thought the pedals made the motion move. But. Still. After watching you. And I just happen to find a small child's bike in the garbage. I'm going to attempt doing a unicycle for myself. 😅😅😂. Thanks for this video. Your awesome kid. 😊
I was trying to figure this out when I was younger
Yo Daniel this is lit I didnt evan know you had a youtube channel amazing vid keep up the good work👌
I don't know why but there's some feature of the dude reminded me of the fictional character which called superman.
hi am from Philippines nice to see your vlog
8m starting to think about building a great style beacus it seems like it wod b so simple compared to a triditional unicycle
This is amazing. I’m super proud of you.
Great work! Getting the cranks attached is a major issue. Welding the cranks wakes it a weak point. This dude worked it out without welding: ruclips.net/video/Dua0yX37NzQ/видео.html . In both solutions, your and his, crank will be the weakest point. This is OK for a casual riding, but will fail when hopping / jumping / dropping from curbs, maybe even when letting the unicycle fall. Imho , either get the axle parts used to accept the cranks from the bike and weld them inside the hub while managing to get the bearings on them before, or get a proper axle hub with bearings, one built for unicycles, and build the wheel around.
Me and my wife really enjoyed the video. Such a skilled young man! Greetings from Kazakhstan
Good boy
Have you seen the "Lunicycle"? You're welcome in advance ;) lol
Mind bender that one is.
As a bicycle mechanic, I can’t stop shaking my head head at how some of this stuff was disassembled 🤦♂️
Hi l think for the amount of time you spend chopping and grinding and welding it might be better to go out and buy one. and enjoy learning to ride it cheers les from Adelaide south Australia
Nice try, you do make life hard for yourself though...
honestly. It would have been less work to fabricate a unicycle from scratch.
Oh and for my suggestion I reckon you should make a elven sword from the lord of the rings🙂
Hey man. Just made a video doing this. Thanks for the suggestion.
To make it even simpler, could one weld pedals to the actual wheel?
No because the wheel has to pass through the side bars joining the seat to the wheel
@@brady_bauer2518 Remove the seat/bars, just use the wheel as the vehicle , with pedals attached, job done.
@@KHos73 well actually that is a thing that people have done but I would imagine it is very difficult
This should be titled, "How to dismantle and bike with a grinder" lol. Imagine how easy it would have been if you didn't have to grind it all apart! Haha
you are a gem my dude. wowowowoow massive love to you
Es mejor Vicesat
Wow So Amazing 🌈🙏🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵
Good content keep it up
great diy
Good work!, thanks for your time and effort but here is a little tip that might help you and save you a lot of time and money but I think you need another bike or another set of crank arms after all this welding this is what I would do I would cut the crank shaft in half and weld each half to the hub on each side after remove the screw from the hub of course and make sure its 90 degree and 180 degree rotated from the other side and make sure you measure how long it should be sticking out on each side then cut the frame assembly for the crank in half vertically and make sure you cut all the tubes that attached to it first and use that as bearing and attach each side to the fork, don't weld it fabricate secure bracket to attach it to the fork in case you need to take it apart then just assemble the crank arms and you should be good to go, (I would cut all the parts before welding anything for accurate measurement), Disclaimer!! this is what I would do but I'm not responsible for any fault or failure in anything that might happened, I hope this help
I realize it will be a lot of work to rebuild it properly. I haven't thought up how I might fix it yet so thank you so much for giving your idea. Really appreciate it.
What's the wheel size
I believe it is a 600mm (26 inch) tire.
I needed to see this
This should be entered in an upcycling exhibit. No pun intended.
Maybe
nice
Great job. You actually learn a lot by doing these projects. That’s how I learnt.
I know right.
you did all that weldiing and then taped the bearings in place? lol omg
If you looked at that portion of the video again I believe you would be mistaken.
dont go replying to year old comments bud@@canhemakeit
перед тем как портить хорошую вещь, надо задать себе вопрос: а не фигню ли я задумал?
Dont broke this bike 😟😞😢😢
