"That's a keeper Luke, not to be scavenged for parts"
ah if only!
Brilliant! Put a big rubber bumper in a circle around it. Make a few of them and you have the new Krazy Kart Bumper Car ride at the carnival, or amusement park!
like it!
Brakes, hell, just surround it with bumpers.
Super ingenious! Now add a dyson vacuum cleaner and you could make some cash cleaning smaller parking lots, bike lanes, sidewalks.
lol - now there is a good idea
Drift chair 🤣👍
for sure
you are going to have to make major improvements to that before it will be safe at 30 MPH or even 20, you'll end up in ER or in the morgue like it is.
Hits crack in pavement, removes intestines and testicles
I‘d like to be your neighbor.
the guys around us certainly seem to have fun too
Just waiting for the crazy episode. I have entered Granny into the next at Silverstone. I think this is one of the funnest build you have done
lol
Jackass dudes wouldn't need that chair, only the motor in a shopping cart and they would have fun with it :D
Anyways an interesting idea. I too have had and idea of rollator for elderly that ebike motor would be so easy to just fix it into that kind of rollator and make it go.
"Jackass dudes wouldn't need that chair", probably just a butt plug, a motor, battery, and a wheel. Scratch that.. the battery could double as the afore mentioned seat.
yes it would!
Build a few and I think you’ve found the new drift racing series. Sky sports will be knocking on your door for the rights Lol. Excellent job, love watching your journeys.
nice!!
I can see these being popular with monty pythons hells grannies 😃
I can visualize the cartoon!
lololol
Put the lever on the back wheels you can lock it in place so they just trail but you still have options
nice idea mate - cheers
Nice! Make an all terrain 4 wheel drive one using puncture proof bike tires? :D
I can only imagine my mother with one of those things, I definitely could not afford the insurance!
lol -it would be a riot!
This is the final transition to complete Evil genius/Davros ;)
lol
It’s one stage short of bumper cars! Love it! Flight simulator/ space trainers? Ad a few paintball guns and you can take all you mobility challenges to the next level? I think you just showed how cheaply and cost effective mobility can be. I wonder if Colin furze would take you guys up on a dodgems bout? Or go full wacky racers? In a e vehicle tournament. Around the world perhaps.
To be honest mate - I think so too - mobility doesn't have to mean expense
@@ThinkingandTinkering even on a small scale it definitely expands peoples options. I’ve seen many verities or mobility options from tracks to skid steer. I think we should alway greet anyone in a wheel chair as m’lord or m’lady as the must be like kings or queen to have their own mobile throne. I dwelt and dreamt of a hover throne to do just that. seeing all the Dalek comment believe you might be on the right track. The m.o.d would be interested in a personal mini tank that spins on the spot. A 3inch plate version would be awesome to see. A multi plenum design should do the trick. With converging airflow. What is they say? Start small aim big! We rod you most certainly have done that. Does that mean Canterbury will the site of the world first hover tank factory? I know Star Wars and many an RPG have aspired to it! Crazy but that’s how it goes as Ozzie once sang. Fun how one simple thing raises up such possibilities. Q branch would be proud!
Like sailing a small boat with no centerboard. Fun.
very much lol
Yeah!! I think this is brilliant!! Thank you so much!! ax
lol - cheers
It needs a Dalek body on it 😁
Well done you have made an OAP's Drift Trike with front stabilisers 😁 👍 please don't fix the back casters until you stick the big motor in it just fit a roll cage and a seatbelt 😁 👍 And wear a helmet 😁 next you need a ramp to jump it over 😁 👍
HA!!!! That was funny as you like, !
lol - cheers mate
That would make an excellent hovercraft training machine/device it looks like it handles great 👌🏼👍🏼👏🏼
Couldn’t work out if that was Rob or Davros! 🤣🤣….edited - aah just read some of the comments and obviously I wasn’t the first to think of that 😢
Robert Murray-Smith A friend in schrool he wondered a 454 c.i. chevy big block on a custom wheel chair lol he was so silly
Just love it ! Looks like sooo much fun !!!
it was a blast mate
All Luke has to do now, is get a bunch of other creative and outgoing buddies, get a whole bunch of carts and stuff together, design and install bumpers on them and have a neighborhood bumper carts :)
Canadian shopping carts (trolleys) have fixed rear wheels which would make this a lot easier steer. Still a fun romp in the car park!
You're a mad man. :)
You could fix the drive wheel, and rig up a tiller system to the rear pivot wheels.
I have to admit, I skipped through the video, just so I could see you ride it through the car park! Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. It really made me laugh! This is one of my favorites for sure.
How many cars were harmed in the making of this video?
I have to admit - it was a blast and I would have done the same thing if I could lol - and not that many!!
The daleks are jealous, I would go down to the supermarket and start saying “exterminate exterminate” to make people get out of my way lol
I just noticed that your shopping cart frame has casters on the back wheels, here in the US they have stationary wheels and casters on the front I bet you that would be easier to steer LOL
New version of bumper car if you can even collide someone else's if you had to put the thing put around it for it bump into sounds like a really fun looks fun
lol what fun ~ now you just need two of them and you can have a joisting competition EEe! :)
Lool 😂 Pretty awesome 👏
cheers mate
You should test the speed on AutoBahn in Germany LOL
The day Robert became Davros!
(Doctor Who reference)
Now if only you could get it to climb stairs...
Now making two of them ! and having a race around the car park with a few extra chicane thrown in for good measure crazy cart racing !!!
love it!
Haha .... ace!!!
lol - awesome
That is F#*#@!g awesome. Don't weld the rear wheels just change them for some wheels barrow ones , bearings and a ton more power.
Please call me when mine is ready with a price mate . I'm sold and not touch a drop of juice. Mario kart / top gun
lol - I am going to change it to a mark II - but I do like this one!
Set yourself up like a Steven Hawkins lookalike. Imagine driving through supermarket Isles 🤣
like it!! that would turn some heads for sure
I've just shared this video on twitter with Jeremy Clarkson, seeing this level of creativity and madness needs to be shared and embraced.
awesome mate - cheers lol
That was a blast, can’t wait for the fast version, lol. After the back wheels are spot welded, beef up the power and give it a go.
I plan to mate lol
Take it to the store and go aisle bowling. Dress luke up like erkle and on every strike of a aisle display say "whoops did I do that?"
lol - now there's a plan
From all the things you've built, I think this is my favourite 😁 👍
Wow, thanks!
We all know Photonicinduction made the best electric wheelchair.
oh ok
Having fun is a good thing. Also reminds me of that ancient video of photoinduction.
it certainly is mate
It’s time for a collab with Colin Furze! 😃
lol
You should get some bigger wheels and a more powerful motor on it so you go off road. Be the cheapest power wheelchair around compared to my $51K permobil c300. Speaking of crazy carts I used to actually do donuts in my wheelchair when I was younger. I know one thing these wheelchairs have some powerful motors in them I used to use like a bulldozer. lol
like that mate - but wait until you see mark II lol
@@ThinkingandTinkering ok sounds good lol
How about naming it *"CRAZY CHAIR"?*
nice!
try removing the front casters i think you may get some controll
cheers mate but - I don't really want that much control and like I said at the end of the video - the solution for control is to make the rear casters follow a single track by welding them I would think lol
Great project. Wheelchairs are the bane of life for a parent with a disabled child and there is very little innovation or experimentation in the field. Nice...
or even fun! it seems a lot of people take them too seriously - sometimes it is just good to have fun
@@ThinkingandTinkering Yes it is and mobility solutions for the disabled are rarely fun. I love this.
I absolutely love all the wheeled projects you've been doing lately! If I could add one more to the list, I've been searching for plans to build a simple, light and foldable mobility scooter. The prices for manufactured ones just don't make sense for-what is basically- a skateboard with a seat and a battery. :D
They have steel or aluminum lawn chairs.
Bolt it to some plywood sleds. Bolt the lawn mower wheels to that. Casters in the front.
For fun: rocket 🚀 assistance in back James bond style with parachute for one you really got to get out of there.
I like that idea I have a few up and coming vids - but I will have a look at this and see if I can come up with something
I would like to make a similar kind of thing for an elderly person. They find the joystick which is fitted on commercial chairs difficult because it's both throttle and direction. Steering and throttle separately seems a far better idea. This is for a home use scooter needing a small turning circle. If anyone has any suggestions on the kind of motor which would be needed, I'd be most grateful. Scooters can be phenomenonally expensive and seeing this video makes me think it would be possible on a DIY basis. I have bicycle parts, welding machine etc and the skills to do it.
If you were going to do it you'd have done it already
the motor I used on this was a 120W dc motor - you really need very little power to get around - the drive is a toothed belt - you would probably pay around £40 for the entire drive train, wheel and motor and could source parts for it from a scooter store online
@@ThinkingandTinkering Thanks. I'll take the information. Any help with this project will be useful. Unfortunately I'm very busy with another huge project at the moment but as soon as it's finished I will turn my attention to this. It was great to see your video IRO the fact that not much power is needed.
@@bigsteve6729 it's a good thing no one said this to Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Tim Berners-Lee or Alan Turing. The world would be a different place. It's good motivation though. Thanks. Definitely doing it.
simply awesome
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the reverse!
lol - cheers mate
It's a Dalek!
lol - oh yes!!!
You rok
lol - you too mate
Great for the adventorous Elderly...
100% mate
It can only be a crazy cart as people with disabilities need something rock solid for it to be a viable wheelchair.
Nah,me and some of my friends would Definitly enjoy This!! AX
@@AndreaDingbatt As long as it is intended as such. I have one friend in particular that pointed out the inherent dangers to someone who is wheelchair bound. That said, I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade. Just say'n that it should carry an "entertainment only " disclaimer.
@@-robo- Fair enough, I do understand what you mean.
And of course, even though I may enjoy it, putting my 87yr old mother in it,,I'm not certain that she would....
Thus this Would only be fun to me, and many of my silliness is best to be taken with a pinch of salt...
However, I'm a wheelchair user, and I would Love to have a go on this!!
As would some of my friends, as for other people, I can't speak for them, everyone is different, and in life there is no One Size Fits All...
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. AX
I disagree mate to me people with disabilities are people too and sometimes people need fun - everything being 'rock solid' all the time is just plain dull and if I can say so - depressing - a simple lever to lock the rear wheels would make this a 'normal' chair - then it could be either depending on a persons mood
@@ThinkingandTinkering As I mentioned in another comment, so long as there is a disclaimer that states "this is intended for entertainment purposes only". I am a person with disabilities (not pleased to reveal that in order to make my point) and I think I can speak for my friend and others when I say nothing is more depressing than ending up in a hospital bed. While I hope that I am smart enough to know the difference, in this I am not sure I can speak for others. As I also mentioned as, I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade, this does indeed look like a ton of fun, however there should IMHO be a modicum of caution applied. Oh yeah, thank you for acknowledging that I am people too, although some of us disabled may have found that a tad bit patronizing.
What worries me is your mate saying, "Man on ICE". Here in Australia you would be arrested on ice for driving. Lol Sorry Rob just thought it was funny.
lol - awesome mate
