The clutch design of the train's belt drive is impressive and smart, so simple yet effective, i'm stokedd. To engage the clutch just slide the whole engine away from the axle to tighten that belt putting tension on it, ito open the clutch slide the engine forward a bit. Clever.

You have to respect the ingenuity of the human race, and if you don’t just look around in the city, the structures that we build cars and airplanes flying around. Respect.👍🏿💪🏿
As a kid living on Long Island in the sixties and early seventies we would build things from lawn mower engines, and any wheels we could find. We built mini bikes, go carts etc. had to use our imagination and there weren’t that many cops around. Dad would get mad we used his tools but that’s what sons do to their dads 😅.
11:50 these downhill wooden scooters are from Northern Philippines, not in Indonesia. We also have motorised railcarts here in the Philippines (same in the previous video clip)
I have a lot of respect for grass routes engineering in countries which may be poor, but necessity forces inventive and creative solutions to problems.
I've seen these on ista for years. So glad to see this. They are having a blast. I wanna travel and I would love to go do whatever they happen to be doing at the time.
Son geniales los inventos ésto es una manera de sobrevivir de las personas y vaya que si funciona 👍 y muy bonito el paisaje de estos vídeos saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴👍🚴

The talk of "climate collapse" and the ending of a lifestyle of easy consumption is not really the end. It is the beginning of a simplification, an embrace of the very skills that kept us healthy, thinking and I think much happier.
good vids. 1st guys making their own bikes of sorts was wild, and the riders never seemed to lose their caps???... 2nd people on the rail cart. i loved the simple clutch design of a sliding engine mounting rail... 3rd orange people on wooden bikes was hilarious. i wonder if they had any brakes? the guys riding look ummm enlightened somehow. cracked me up to think how it would feel to ride one... 4th of the skidding lumberjacks was pretty funny too. it's obviously a light type of wood but still risky as all flork. the funny part was when i realised how much work and how many loads it took just to make the wooden skidding rails.
Snap-on or Wurth should look at sponsorship. Those boys would build killer scooters. I myself am a big fan of the rat style and rust patina. Good work boys. Also well done to the chick who built the railwayrider.
mad max are real in indonesia , i came to bike meets a few time riding my own home made bobber i work myself, and most of self made custom bike and scooter that were attending (non garage build) were all mostly Mad Max Aesthetic look , rusty , mix match part , as is whatever metal i could find , whatever engine , second hand part third hand part forgotten abandoned part . the people are more fun and humble than the "classy proper one" .
Nope, just wood on metal (or even wood on wood). Lovely thing about wood is it will compress and actually get rather smooth. Add some oil or grease to reduce the friction and it works just fine so long as there isn't too much speed to make a lot of friction and heat.... It's how old wagons did it.

Transporting wood, on wooden sleds, on a wooden rollercoaster.. Amazing!
I can almost picture the smell.
And the title is iron scooters 🤣
Got wood?
I would definitely watch the show where these fellas had access to great equipment and materials, and given 3 days to build the ultimate scooter bike.

As someone who gets a bit obsessive/compulsive when working on projects, I just love this stuff, real 'can do' culture.
These scooters are often seen in punk communities. The punk subculture is still alive in Indonesia.

This is some Mad Max engineering right here.
I had the same idea 😀
Lo, I thought the same thing!
Totally mad max ! Awesome !
The wood scooters are straight out of the Flintstones !
no i dont thonk so
i think there is some bad pigges player
Those scooters are so unique. Inovative, creative, and has a sense of style. One day I will visit and see these in real life one day.
I believe you need to learn the definitions of the words innovative and creative

Same in africa
There is like 1 documentary about them every year for the past 30 years....still going strong.
