I’m grateful you guys decided to make the channel because of all the perspectives & insights. It’s awesome to see people out there building the new world. I’d love to rip through Georgia one of these
I think that by adding a one or two position long seat with a full suspension could give it some heal horse style rideability akin to a motorbike or jet ski.. A step through design could also fold back for a full standing ride.
That range looks really outstanding. This could be a game-changer, where you used to have cops walk a beat, and now they can be so much more efficient and effective getting around NYC, for example, where a car would be a liability.
Great interview. Subscribed. Never heard of LyteHorse. Soon as I saw the video: I was SOLD. The founder made this an easy sale. He's the kind of guy you can trust.
Awesomeness is what this video is! I’m so glad that I found this. Loved watching this story and how it developed and evolved. It’s fascinating.
One thing i would add is some type of shielding in the front of the lytehorse to protect the control/handlebar and maybe some wind/shrub/dirt/mud protection for the rider ? In the military and/or police versions that shielding could be some type of bullet resistant material, for instance the pull-up origami bullet shield i`ve seen online ?
The Moon Buggies little Earth Brother. 😀. Fantastic utility. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
I seen these in the supermarket. Grandma loves them!
On the golf course, I *need* to sit down, shade from the sun and a cup holder.
Add a low sitting saddle - as a option?
From a farm maint POV, add a 2" hitch to tow a small quad trailer would be great.
I could ditch our Polaris 570's and 900.
Excellent video, and what looks to be an excellent investment in the future! Thanks for bringing this to the internet!
Check out some of their competition that have been around for a long time now: EZRaider and Beast Electric, to name two. Someone needs to close the gap between what is a fair consumer-friendly price and the current $8,000-to-$9,000 (USD) price range. Nobody has a monopoly on this form factor. Until they get real, I'm going to wait for it to come out on DVD!
I WANT ONE!! LOOKS FEAKING AWESOME!!
Great job guys! Love this technology.
In the novel Wired for War by PW Singer, he discusses the challenges with bringing battery powered devices into operational theaters. Personally I think the LyteHorse should be equipped with a manual kick charger that recharges all the devices that go in the field. I would also add a servo motor to the steering for power assist and fully autonomous operations. If it could drag a stretcher by two handles and recharges itself, a ruggedized tablet and night vision batteries that would tick a lot of boxes for me. Well done Allen.
I'm sure a bunch of viewers saw that price and started thinking "DIY" versions, its not a new concept. A couple of weekends in the garage and done built one, lol
Alibaba
I agree, impressive.
What voltage do the motors operate on?
Cool, how much for a 4x4 HD version? Vermont has 2 mud seasons that would be a blast with one of those.
What about some kind of wireless security locking system like a key fab? And GPS tracking locator? LoJack?
I love how he knows markets, their attrition rates. Although fun to be an inventor, he does it with an eye for economic purpose and benefits. Often times inventors try to fit a square peg into a circular hole.
This will look great on the back of your CT.
A lytehorse to drag a salt spreader on sidewalks would be interesting. May be make a plow for it to do sidewalks.
A couple of great uses would be as a rental unit for tourists for example here in Costa Rica at Beach towns. Another great use due to its towing capacity is to pull a small all terrain camping trailer.
On the Military aspect to the extreme conditions: cold and heat weather on the batteries? And dearing enemy engagement doing a low profile? Can the handle lower and maybe get down on your knees to operate?
WELL OVER $10K FOR THE MODEL SEEN IN THE VIDEO…!!! And, of course, the more batteries you add the more the cost goes up. Base model (very short range small wheeled golf cart) is $9K.
Great execution and application!!
This is a kickass e-chariot! I want one!
4 wheelers are way better At least you don't have to stop the turn,this is for old people not fun takes up the whole sidewalk lmao 😆
Cool! My son & I recently slapped a homemade electric mountainboard to a wooden gokart frame, it reminds me of this.
That would be perfect to slap a paramotor on. You could drop in & out of hard to reach places &, unlike regular paramotors, still be mobile & have storage for the chute. & they have new electric paramotors that you could just plug right into your electric system. & for your military applications, it increases the range of your drop zone & gives you an option to fly back out of a target area, quietly.
I’ve got a very good feeling about this product and company. I love its simplicity and the fact that they will outsource the frame but make the battery packs in house. I think they’ll be able to scale and get these into production sooner rather than later.
Economy of scale will be the test for sure. If they figure that out, then they will definitely create a solid niche market and dominate it. I can't wait to see what this market brings to the table through this decade!
Lol.
I Don't Like The Simplicity of The Brain's coming up with the design ideas ,Especially for MINE SWEEPING ,WTF !
Fantastic presentation !
Check the prices... $9,000-$15,000 depending on the model and range... hot damn.
Ridiculous
No freaking way!!
Get a 150cc ATV and convert it to electric. Boom. Done.
I’m thinking one of these with a trailer to carry materials around a farm....... moving fences, carrying feed, water ,moving a chicken tractor......the pricing on the whole package along with understanding limits and or can a charge last through a whole workday?
for military use i think a two person rig would be useful if large enough to have to serviceman back to back so they could provide eyes and cover for the driver
Thanks for doing the leg work and finding such impressive new tech!! Thermal signature. The small the better.
With all wheel drive could you integrate an added stability controls or motor shutdown to run with one motor as an eco mode in the right conditions?
military contract otw for sure.. great product. amazing.
Extremely innovative and applicable idea. Certainly I would surmise that the original idea came from the ATV four wheeler sit down. And the idea modified from that into a similar vehicle "electrical powered" in a stand-up position.
is a beefier hoverround with no seat a better option than a cheap used 4 wheeler? or a golf cart?
Now if you can stick a small front loader or a snow blade on it, that would be even more awesome.
That's a given.
CUP HOLDERS
wow this thing has a lot of potential. i hope it takes off!
Very cool, but highly speculative of the outcome. Would love to see these carve it's own niche. This would be a great alternative to horses for sure. As someone who enjoys taking horses on trails, I would sometimes rather have something not quite a 4wheeler or dirt bike when i wanna enjoy the roads.
A bullet proof wind shield might be advisable, a knees to head x 32" wide with the super light weight, angular, deflective, and a bit thinner composite materials would at least take care of small arms fire and shrapnel, without being front heavy. The TA 50 ( gear ) and ammo, stowed behind the driver, should be perfect counter Ballance at 80 - 100lbs. The soldier also is wearing body armor so you wouldn't need a super heavy and cumbersome type shield. That way the soldier is coming strait at you instead of clustering behind stuff to hide behind. Cover and concealment are two ways the soldier tries to protect himself. Cover is the better of the two and a shield does that. As a former Combat Engineer 12 Bravo, I would be asking if some of those 12,000 watts could be used to haul something to cover my but with. An 80lb - 100 shield might do. Also swivel or slide it on tracks to keep the shield between you and the enemy in cases where you have to zig or zag to get around obstacles or traverse your way uphill. Just a few thoughts for the best people I know. Also, with a smallish vehicle carrying your gear and providing some cover, 556 would be insignificant. The soldiers extra or reserved strength a soldier would have from not having to HUMP a heavy load all night long should go to 762 or better, especially with the vehicle carrying the Heavyweight ammo. Increased, harder hitting fire power is rarely looked down upon - except by your enemies - they don't like that. Oh yeah, before I forget, a couple of overhead grenade launchers would not only look cool as fk, but you would find your enemy has left when he saw you coming - it's nice to win and still got all your ammo on board - saves lives on both sides too.
That chassis could support a carbon fiber motorcycle frame with the same platform dimensions and would be cool for longer treks. Like a land version Sea-Doo or jet ski take your pick.
Needs a version with folding steering and a seat. Military version would lower profile and allow very long distance treks.
Very cool & looks fun but considering the size & costs, I don't see the diff btwn this & the ubiquitous ATVs. Except that with gas powered ATVs, there's no (or less) range anxiety with a spare jerry can. I can see the military specfors usage for noise suppression app but even then, range would always be a factor on EVs.
is this commercially available? thanks
What weight person is used for this mileage and Is it 80-90 miles on flat paved road or is that including gravel, hills, grass in that estimate?
Simply Bonkers!
I need a wheel chair version of that.
You mean, like a 4 wheeler?
How well will it work with small creek crossings and mud. Quads handle this really well. Won't this be a limitation with hub based motors.
Now days likely not, many motors are or could be water proof.
Will there be a street legal version, or will you possibly incorporate a limiter in the software to avoid that obstacle while allowing for the off road mode to still achieve 40mph?
what a great interview
Because this vehicle has so much torq, have you considered putting larger wheels/tires (Balloon tires) on it for going through wet muddy terrain and soft sand dunes?
Job well done guys👍
This and 4wd pickup could take you a very long way into the bush, and back. Great idea !
excellent
Does it have reverse? With that towing capability it would work well as an aircraft tug but reverse is necessary for that.
So since this is an investing channel, a reverse takeover means a currently listed public company on the TSX will essentially acquire this company and then the company ticker will change, correct? If this is correct then are there speculations of the company that will reverse takeover? Since we as the public typically cannot invest direct in private rounds one could speculate on the company that is doing the reverse takeover and invest in them. Thoughts?
In my experience the reverse takeover company trades for pennies on the dollar and could be a big winner if the speculation is correct.
Very impress, do you see it expanding to disable people who would like to enjoy the outdoors but would need to sit down. I see the beach and the snow hills calling me now.
Tesla's already has a 4 Wheeler marketed
That is a great market...even might get some govt funding.
What a great device, I think this would be great for vehicle recovery out of multi-storey car parks where often a tow truck cannot enter due to high or width restrictions etc. This thing could pull the car out of the space and move it to a safe place for recovery or jump start etc etc. Then there is the local emergency ambulance services, in the UK first responders often use bicycles but are limited in terms of weight and equipment they can bring. A first responder on one of these would be so much more capable.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
soooooooo cool...i am lovin ALL the new stuff..!!
Brother was a rancher in Alberta foothills, used horses and ATVs. He would have switched to this in a hot minute. Given changeable batteries.
I've been looking at electric mobility scooters because I have problems with walking around and balance problems. But I would still like to get out and go out in the country riding. I also shoot archery and would like to go hunting still. One of these with a seat on it and being all terrain would be amazing for disabled people. I would need a seat and maybe a place to mount my bow and quiver. I would almost give my left arm to be able to be able to go out and do these things again. Although the whipped is a little bit much for some of the trails on the archery course for shooting 3D competition
For search & rescue the ground covered would be awesome .
Especially the 'quiet' factor when trying to listen. Great idea.
Follow mode via camera tracking, vehicle is pure cargo, mule mode. GPS waypoints. Just put drone software.
What about driving into a marshy wet area unintentionally? Will the vehicle become impaired or stop the motors in the hubs from operating???
I can see a real future in this thing. You are watching the future in the making folks, without a doubt. I wish that I had the extra funds to invest in this. I saw that Seal Team show that you were talking about, I agree with you. Love that show! Oh wow, this is from a year ago!! I’ve got some investigating to do now.
What level of protection is there against water (rain or mud puddles)?
Raincoat, boots, goggles, and helmet.
I want a version WITH a full seat that complies with regs for invalid carriages, as that would open areas of the country that are not as smooth as a billiard table to disabled visitors.
Put some battery packs under the seat, and leave some for luggage, and you have better range than anything currently on the UK market. Motorcycle/quad type controls so anyone can use it from day one!
So kind of like a step-through quad. I can't stand on one leg to lift my leg over any bike (or lift either leg far enough to do it either). I love the countryside, and have been kept out of it for far too long!
How much - Take my money!
Just saw a great video on Vehicle To Load - by you guys! How about VTL on this thing.
You may only need to go a few miles to a work site but the value of powering the worksite could be huge!
WHAT AN IDEA! Hopefully the CCP will not do a "copy" by themselves. Best wishes from the Land of Oz.
Why not install a seat and house batteries plus extras whilst lowering centre of gravity
Wow! One of the most diverse vehicles that I have seen so far. One question not answered for me is the legality of on hwy use. There are times that I need to take my quad on-road to get to the next cattle field.
Awesome 👏
I am an inventor in the UK I built exactly the same thing in 2006 with a petrol engine. I chopped it up for parts and scrap shortly after because it was not something people wanted. People said it was too big for their needs being larger than scooters popular at that time. It was just a small project I thought it's value retail would be under £500 $1000 at that time and I planned to make something better later on but seeing the price this is being sold at $16,997 USD is surprising. I think it's time for me to get back in to building projects again!
Hey get in touch.. I can help possibly
how is it in the snow like up in alaska
Seen these a view years ago don’t know for sure if it was an Eletric but I wanted one a few years ago!
My question is how water-proof/water resistant is it. Are they all weather?
I want to see it perform out here in the Arizona desert.
Agree, I live in the arctic, and I would really like to test it out here.
I’d love to see it with a flotation system to become a sort of jet ski that can cross beach and ocean onto ship or forest and jungle into river and lake and also be helicopter powered like a drone using the same motors adjusting them using small hydraulic lift rods into position from land water air formats all in one
Yeah, put some arms on it and it can do some handspring’s for you. How could they have forgotten this?
I would like to see that too. I think it is very feasible.
Not likely at least the helicopter. They need much much more power than this has. Plus copter blades are very heavy. Now a drone type system with 4 motors Maybe but for only a few minites.unless new much denser lighter batteries. There is a ride in drone copter in china but way more batery power than this plus less weight.
Excellent, this will be an icon like the WILLYS JEEP.
yeah the 2 wheel seg in Penn station has been replaced with a 3 wheeler..
that said i see more and more single wheel electrics in Manhattan..way fasties
try going up a hillside not straight up but at an angle, the triangular pattern of the wheels is perfect for this.
This would work well for Farm operations.
How does it perform in wet condition and puddles?
You can make a personal type carrier trailer. If it can to a motor home. It would be easy,6-8 troops. It would be a reinforced toy carrier. Great idea keep up the good work.
No info on warranty length
What about a track version for deep snow and mud.
Recharging batteries? Costs, and where?
Be great for moving utility trailers around your yard as well.
love it , cost cost cost . I want one .
Very nice lytehorse, i love it....philippines
Any Ideas about the on road and urban models in the future. I'm in Idaho and I'd prefer not to have trailer it to the city limit, i.e. trailhead. great ideas allround, good luck with your business.
It's not street legal in the U.S. They didn't accidentally forget to mention that.
Now thats one sweet electric scooter/vehicle
Nice awesome concept scooter
When will you update us on lytehorse?
I wonder why Stand up jet skis lost favor to wave runner type watercraft. Sure they still sell jet skis, but they sell MANY times more PWC that you sit on. I feel like this will be the same. There will definitely be uses that favor this design, but they will be minimal compared to those that can't be done with a traditional ATV, and people will prefer to sit rather than stand.
Have you got an agent in Australia as yet.
Add a drive up on pontoon connector for water transport no military bridges or naval landing craft needed. Could be even bigger
in a military version it could also be used as a troop or wounded person carrier
DID U THINK OF REGENRATION EACH TIME THE BRAKE IS APPLIED?
it’s not a very effective system...especially off-road. recovery rate is less than %5.
I would love to have this, as I have an impairment with walking due to 2 spinal surgeries and it would be great utility to get around with!
