- Hi guys, my name is Clay. This is my first ever RUclips video! I plan on making some dirtbike and off road videos. Please like and subscribe to help me grow and make more cool videos for you!
30mph at best.
But very cool!
Hell ya who needs brakes!!! I love it!!!
Especially when it has a motor fuck breaks!!!
Had a front brake still, but not gonna do much 😅
Engine breaking
It's like the universe wants me to build one of these! I'm getting a welding machine for christmas, I have an old weed eater sst25 engine and I can wait until a bike wheel kick scooter is available at my local thrift shop! Thank you for the inspiration dude, if I ever go through with this I'll credit you in my video 😁
That means a lot, Thank you! And good luck with your build!
In the mean time you don’t need a welder for this build frfr I did it without but his is fuckin awesome 🔥🔥🔥
That is the most minimalist thing you could do to put a motor on a scooter and I applaud you for it.
Great job!
Awesome mate love it
That's very cool, I think I'd like to have something like that one day.
Love the video! Keep it up bro
Thanks Ben
Very nice scooter! We didn't get razors in Europe, My town is full of M365 Xiaomis and countless knockoffs but no cheap scooters to buy.
Thank you, I got very lucky with this build. The chance that the sprockets would match up with the power of the weed eater was slim but worked out well.
boss how many (cc?) on your engine.
Sick dude!!
Nice improvising for the throttle don’t have to worry about hooking up a throttle cable to anything
That thing is sick
Awesome!
Thank you!
what cc is that motor?
Wow! I did this exact thing with the same scooter except I used a 29cc Husqvarna engine from a weed eater, I put the fuel tank where the batteries where and ran the kill switch and the throttle cable up to the handle and bolted the motor on using scrap metal. I also rebuilt the carb and put a oversized air filter on but seeing how fast yours is, its probably 3 times faster than mine! I re painted the whole thing blue and black and put a new tire in the back with good treads and overbuilt it way too much but it still rattles itself apart! im also deciding on making a youtube vid about it but I still gotta get that thing out!
That’s awesome! It really does 27. But feels like 50. Also would love to see a video of yours!
So in other words your scooter was slower than if you walked
Did u have to weld sprocket
What is gear combination sir
What the hell, it actually rides about as well as a legit $2,000 Go Ped
nice
I've been wanting to do this, but this is very clever!
Go-peds can suck it!
Nice adaptation! Get yourself motorcycle helmet, gloves and knee pads etc 👍
I put a racing pocket bike engine on a scooter exactly like that one. Scary as f#ck. Lol. 30mph roll on wheelies. Super sketchy . Very first test ride I crashed the hell out of it. Easy fix then out to crash again. Total death trap. Love it.
Have you actually measured how fast you're going? It looks like you're going about 20 mph. But I would still like to know what is the actual top speed, how much gas did you put into it and how long does the gas last you for? I would love to modify my scooter like this so I can go to work in a scooter like yours instead of driving.
yes!
I'm about 2 start and build mine about to order some parts
Had one as a kid in the 90s my neighbor hooked it up built the motor out of a chainsaw
No clutch? Is it connected directly to the motor
Yep. The weed eater has a built in clutch system.
How did you mount the sprocket to the engine?
The sprocket is welded to the weed eater shaft. And the sprocket is from the original electric scooter motor. Thanks for being the first to comment 👍!
The sprocket was welded to the scooter shaft. I am going to make a video on it soon.
How do you weld the sprocket on the thing?
with a welder
@@throwawaypt2throwawaypt2-xp8nx no shit
I'm about to do the same thing with what looks like the same exact scooter. lol. we pulled the electric motor off and threw it on a bike for a school project, and I got the rest of the scooter parts.
Im planning to make the exact same thing as clay, but im keeping the electronics, so it will be hybrid
Good moning you
How did you mount the engine to the scooter? Great idea overall. I'm trying something similar myself
I will make a video today explaining the steps on how to build it. I tried typing it out but it was getting confusing.
How mount motor
With screws duh
how fast does it actually go tho?
I got it going 27 with a speed app
Theres no way your doing 50mph on that long term if at all. You would smoke the clutch after a mile at that speed. I know from personal experience. I put a 27cc craftsman weedeater MTD motor on a huffy. Smoked the clutch just going around the block and it only went 15mph. So i put a 50cc chonda gx50 clone on it with a gearbox reducer and get about 35mph. Id guess your actually getting around 15mph out of that if you weigh around 150lbs.
Thank you I was going through the comments to see who's the first one to say that this kid isn't going nowheres near 50 mi an hour!!???
@@garyshrum4353haha right?! Youd need a 100cc 2 stroke at the minimum to do 50. Not to mention the speed wobbles from lack of a steering damper and the lack of suspension would make you wipe out if you weren't on a perfectly smooth surface.
The clutch has held up perfect. It does 27, but you saw the video so GOTCHA BOI
@@thattacomakid7205 doesn't look like 50 miles an hour to me
@@brandonbajc2084you dont need 100cc to hit 50 a mildly modified gp460 46cc will do that easy.
Might be able to get a little more power with a different exhaust setup
bro went 50
Make a how to cause I have a weed eater and scooter just need a how to lol gas prices are getting crazy In Cali and my job only 12 miles 6 going 6 coming
We're can I buy one from
Well mine I built myself but there are versions of it online that you can buy for a few hundred bucks
@@thattacomakid7205 thanks for getting back at me which website is good to purchase from
Will this work with any scooter?
Anything with a sprocket to attach the chain to should work.
@@zangl2955 LOL
It would be cool if you could cut the weeds while you were cruising around 😂😂😂
I just made almost the same thing except without a clutch so it's direct drive. You'll probably smoke that clutch really quick riding that.
Direct drive can't coast
@@alfredoghost2306 why do you need to coast just stay on the gas. It works really well so there aren't any issues other that having to kickstart it
@@michaellewis9589 hills? You live in the cornbelt?
@@alfredoghost2306 If you think going down hills is a problem with a weedwacker engine. No. Going up them is lol. Do you have one or something?
@@alfredoghost2306A weedwacker has barely any engine braking and if you coast for too long in a two stroke it can seize the engine anyways.
There's no fucking way you're getting 50 miles an hour out of a Ryobi weed wacker
It’s called a thump nail for a reason
@@thattacomakid7205 awe
@thattacomakid7205 But there is no need to lie.
No way that does 50mph
50 mph🤔
Maybe 25 MPH
Lol it does 27, you were close
50mph🤔
Talk about click bait… in what world do you think this would hit 50 mph 🤣
Hey, you watched the video! Gotta do what I gotta do.
Going to pick my first one up today, a real Goped for $100, Id be happy if I could get 50 mph outta it lol ; I build custom minibikes as a hobby so I figured let’s dabble with a goped
Not 50mph plus your going down hill 😂😂
yeah you wish that thing went 50 maybe 30-35 mph max
It’s for the thumbnail. I got you to click on it :).
@@thattacomakid7205 exactly lol
Kool but noisey af
Added bonus the 2 stroke gives. I love that.
clearly no 50mph
Yeah that isnt 50 mph not even close. That's 20 mph if not less. Nice scooter though I mod Razor scooters too.
Hey limp dick, it actually does 27. Suck it
Looks slow
