I love riding hoverboards, so I decided to see if we could use the electronics and wheels from one to make a bigger balancing omni-directional vehicle. Other channels have attempted this, but generally they just made the wheels bigger which result in more velocity and less torque than the hoverboard controller is expecting. I solved this by matching the wheel velocity with the correct belt ratio. In Part 2 I'll be putting thrusters on to make to go forward too!

you can press and hold the hoverboard powerbutton for 10 seconds while the hoverboard is upright to recalibrate the angle;
No you can’t.
@@undefined7141 you can, search UA-cam you will find videos explaining how to recalibrate a hoverboard
@@undefined7141oh, snap.
Who can prove they're correct first?
We need references
@@Boogie_the_cat but nobody cared
@@Boogie_the_cat what if they just have different hoverboards with a difference in that feature
I appreciate that you don't turn the 3d printing part into 5 episodes 🙏
I can't even imagine how many hours and days the printing takes, let alone everything else.
yep it was a few hours ;-)
There is so much process, it could be 50x 15 minute videos
I actually find silly the amount of 3D printing, even printing the "tower" for the belt tension when probably that could be done with a piece of plywood. imagine how much energy is used . I actually was nicely surprised to see he actually has fabrication skills and used some metal but still i find the amount of 3D printed parts kinda overkill. I only print with my 3D printer complex shapes or things that actually make sense to print. Why print a standoff that will take hours and use energy plastic and wear my 3D printer when I can cut a piece of wood in 10 minutes to size.
@@teresashinkansen9402 In fairness, printing rather than fabricating or carpentry saves a lot of issues: namely weight. If you've ever used an e-bike, they are SO heavy, and it makes them really unwieldy, plastic is a lot lighter.
Also, printing helps accuracy and the ability to make each piece identical. You can see how even just a few mils of deviation in the plywood caused problems with the balance of the whole bike, and he used a CNC; imagine if more of the bike had been made the same way.
@@teresashinkansen9402everyone loves excessive 3d printing. It makes them feel important and like big men.
Ah I just got to the part where the sponsor is a 3d printer manufacturer.
That explains everything.
Gotta prove for the sponsor that 3d printing is better than sex, and soon morons will be trying to 3d print food. As if there wasn't enough artificial mass produced, over preservative-ed, unhealthy food.
Dude how do you pump out projects so quickly it blows my mind. All of my projects take so much time
It's literally his job
for sure but those projects he does take time. 3d prints take forever. Especially at that scale, its crazy how he can build these projects in such little time
@@verify6329
Plus he has million sponsors spots in each video. The filament was probably 300 dollars and he has a bunch of lulzbot industrial printers. Each one is like 5k in Canada. All tools he needs though. I find he's a quiff but I also have mental ilness so dogpile all you want and it's just my opinion. Your know what they say about opinions.
@@jstro-hobbytech quiff?
In reality he has 4 homozygous twin brothers, but to us he seems like one person because they go to the same barbershop.
Ok, this might be my favorite project ever on this channel and that's saying something. I'm starting to see the potential of this crazy contraption.
Same. I'm curious whether it might work nicer with the omniwheels turned 90 degrees but with fixed front wheel and then let electronics do all the leanign and turning. It might roll better for transport means. Now the big radius of the wheel is used for lateral riding where you need the least speed and comfort.
My favourite project yet!
Same but the engine is so cool
This vehicle can only spin and drive left or right. A motorcycle style seat but you must turn your head to see where you are going. What is it you like about that? It looks awkward, uncomfortable and useless, although exquisitely engineered.
I like the hulk buster project the most
Thank you for this message on the bottom of the screen. 15:43
Very good video. Easy to follow without any distractions.
I can't wait for part two.
I think that using something more like rudder pedals would be a more useful control input for steering the back, rather than turning that big block.
That way you could just push your feet instead of trying to move your legs in awkward ways.
I just made a similar comment! The heel thing is how you steer a horse and it makes complete sense for this application.
Maybe if the foot pedals themselves were on a separate axle and able to tilt left to right slightly as well, instead of just the entire back half of the bike? Keep up the awesome work as usual! Your projects never fail to amaze and inspire!
Even the frame looks awesome! Gives opportunity to look further into motorcycle-like projects :)
Came here just to give this video a like. I don’t know why we need a hover-board bicycle crossover but I’m happy that someone is doing it. God Speed Hoverboard-Bicycle Crossover Man! 🙏🙌🏼
I don't know how you managed to make so many high quality and very complex videos so frequently. You must have 10 projects going at the same time
Awesome video mate.
Cant wait to see part two
Something about this manages to be even more exciting than your other ideas! I really wonder how well the split bike would run while it's in motion. It seems like the kind of thing that is more difficult when you're standing still
The amount of effort that went into this has definitely paid off! Can’t even being to imagine how long it took to model, print and assemble all those parts.
I love the amount of recourses poured into this crazy contraption… Thank god for YT content makers and their sponsorship deals 👌🏻👍🏻 Great work sir. Looking forward to part two ^^
Everything you build is so cool! Printing adapters for better tolerance is pure genius.
I think he could have made them undersized and melted metal collars and possibly the bearings directly into the plastic.
Thanks for making this video! super helpful if someone wanted to do any kind of breakdown of these hoverboards.
Loving this project! Can't wait for part two!
Nice! I don't really understand why is it good to have the handlebar fixed on the same piece you are sitting on. You could do the steering with your hands if you sit the other way round.
Sir/ma'am your spelling of "Peace" is wrong, it should be "Piece".
@@azharmukhi5894 Indeed! Thank you, I have fixed that.
Maniacally brilliant Can t wait for part two
Flippin cool, im stoked for part 2
what an amazing concept! im sure that youre gonna crack this nut!
Can't wait for part 2, amazing content as always
This is a fascinating project. I can't wait to see how your wacky racer turns out, It's already pretty incredible!
Awesome work! Suggestion for controls: You could rotate the foot pedals to match the hoverboard controls. So move your right foot to rotate ccw and move your left foot to rotate cw. Something like that .
Those wheels really are a work of art for one off printed objects ❤
So awesome. I highly recommend inverting your wood frame setup so that the part you sit on is the small piece so that your handle bars are on a different part to your body. That way you push with your arms to control the angle instead of trying to lean your body.
NICE BUILD!
I just bought a scrap hoverboard that I wanted to turn into a one-wheel and this video showing the reconstruction of a hoverboard is going to be a massive help
This makes me want to study engineering. Superb video, thank you.
The fact that this bike partially made of wood and steel is held together with 3d-printed plastic parts gives off a similar energy to holding together multiple Kerbodyne S4-512 Fuel Tanks with StrutCo Cubic Octagonal Struts.
The whole video, I was wondering "But how it go forwards?" Good to see you address that in the last few seconds of the video.
Looking forward to part 2!
wait... did you say THRUSTERS???? Are you thinking JET ENGINES???? lol
No matter what you do I will be BLOWN AWAY!!! You make some of the most AMAZING MACHINES!!!
I was wondering the same! Sitting here wondering how he possibly planned to provide meaningful, controllable, STOPPABLE propulsion and then he came out with "thrusters." So much for "stoppable".
I would have thought the bike would travel faster with the wheels inline instead of perpandicular. Also inline would make hitting small rocks or pot holes less noticeable for the ride. Cant wait for part 2!!
Can't wait for pt2 on this one!
Promises an upgraded hoverboard, delivers a 3D-printed Lego Batpod in Tron fashion. Amazing channel.
This channel is amazing.
I’d love to a mountain bike with wheels that allow really tight technical connections. Riding over skinnies etc.
This project looks amazing
Your ideas are very creative Specially with working Bots and Omni directional wheel ❤
very nice video and idea and i would love to see the process of overcoming challenges and planning in general too, in the video it looks like you just came up with the idea and it works instantly
Nice work!
So cool! Plz make part 2.. and 3.
Nice work, I have a similar project in my hand currently, I'm trying to modify some hoverboard into one wheel bike like Ryno one.
I could see it working super well with 2 giant mouse ball style wheels and a sleeker carbon fiber frame of course.
Looking forward to part two.
Fantastic video,i love these type of awesome engineering vids.🤠🤟🇬🇧🙏
this would be my ride of choice, it’s amazing 😍
This channel is the best example on the internet of how much fun being super smart can be 😅
Either this has been through some iterations, or you're a true visionary - either way, kudos to you!
I love the omni directional wheel ideas❤❤❤
Cool, have wait for part two
I think you should add pressure sensors that allow you to drive either heel into the bike and cause the back wheel only to move. Essentially that is how you ride a horse. Left heel could drive the rear wheel clockwise and right heel makes it spin counter-cw. Would give a bunch more control.
A fun project for you to try some time James is Mecanum hoverboard or bike. Most people believe that you need a square or rectangle with 4 wheels to make mecanum work, however the reality is that you only need 4 wheels. If you put 1 left and right versions each side, and spin each independently, you can get full 2 axis movement from 4 inline wheels. Couple this with a balancing mechanism and you could get a hoverboard that could also strafe left and right. Or if you modified it for a bike design like you've got now you could get both forward and sideways movement.
Theoretically this could still with if you flip the wheel 90 degrees of what you have now. 2 infront and 2 in back all inline. Imagine a regular motor cycle with to extra wheels so that you can see all 4 fully from either side. If you spin all four wheels forward you'll move forward, if you counter rotate the the front/back pair you can get sideways movement. This will give you maximum forward speed and smoothness while also allowing the bike to autobalance side-to-side, or turn in place.
Look forward to seeing some Integza inspired jet thrusters on the bike in part 2 ;)
This is awesome, i can see someone practicing allot on this and getting really good. Interested to see how you make it go forwards...good luck 😅
Even with all the tools you have now, that was a lot of work to pull together with a lot of hard-earned expertise. Nice.
Hahha if anyone deserves a Streamy it's James Bruton. I wish I was half as productive as you.
half? 10% would be enough for me :) I guess the the secret is to not hate your job..
I can't even keep up with your upload schedule😂
The amuont of work you invest in that project is unbelievable, thank you for the quality content
Try switching which section the foot pegs and handle bars are on. You want your feet and body to be on a stable frame. It'll be easier to control the pivot section with your arms like a normal bike.
Interesting video that I would recommend building anything like this in a garage or outside since the item is too big
...did you say THRUSTERS for part II?! That is going to be epic, can't wait. Make sure they're nice and powerful!
Thrusters? This is going to be awesome, I just know it!
You did a great job. I can't even imagine how many hours and days it took you to do that. It's very nice but seems a bit difficult to balance.
I would say thumb levers to control the lateral movement of the front wheel and either motorcycle brake pedals on both sides for the rear wheel, or use a motorcycle gear shift lever, with each direction running the rear wheel in one direction or the other.
I’m surprised you done make your plywood parts with tabs and slots on your cbc for extra strength and easier jig and assy. I love your builds, great inspiration.
You're the most talented engineer content creator I've seen on UA-cam, your skill of making things out of ordinary is just mind-blowing ! I have a suggestion and request for you that is you should try to make an actual bike like we see in the movie "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw" where the main antagonist Brixton Lore rides a self driving and self balancing motorcycle
Instead of free floating the pivot between front and back, you could use the handlebars to drive a linkage controlling the relative tilt (turn bars right, front half is forced right relative to back half). This could even work just having the bars tilt a small bracket for the front sensor. That leaves your body stable for overall balance as well.
Respectfully,
James
Cool. Would be awesome to see it with cowlings around the wheels and a body around the frame, with holes only for the leds in front and back. Really futuristisk looking.
Good stuff as always tho
This is the coolest thing ever!
Dang that thing is a beast!
Maybe it would work better with a rip stick style setup connecting the front and back of the bike, jointed in the middle. Which would let you pivot the front seperate from the back and may give you better control for turning
Gargantuan project, James. Those printers must have been flat out day and night.
I love everything about this project and wanna see you succeed wooden frame is not gonna work for how touchy everything is. You can litterly see the frame flex & bend in on itself when you sit on it (cause wood is flexy) Going the tried and true metal frame route is going to remove wood flex as a variable completely while letting you build a skinnier frame that will let you shift your weight easier.
This project is awesome!
How do you think it would change the feel if the handlebars were mounted on the other side so you control you center of mass with your legs, and your arms are free to tilt the front of the bike?
This seems like a much more natural approach to me. I was wondering the same thing.
This channel is so cool
As soon as you said about the issues with side to side I immediately thought a foot pedal would be a great solution. I'd probably go with a single footpedal. That way one foot has no controls and can always act as an anchor for your body.
Here’s a thought for next time: use handle bares connected to a bevel gear to tile the sensors. Now you steer it like a bike!
And, maybe try to make it so it will auto-valence without the deadman’s handle, allowing easy mount-dismount!
Of course, the 3.0 will have a system where you stand on it and ride like a normal hoverboard, but if you push a button, it will lift you up, tilt back some while tilting another part, change it from a spot you stand on to a seat. Meanwhile the handle bars pop up, and the sensors disconnect from the contact switches and connect to the handle bars!
“So, nice large hoverboard”
“No, it’s a bike”
“Uh, I clearly see you standing…”
“You were saying?”
With a title like that I was expecting you to just reinvent the segway, because that's basically what a hoverboard is... a worse version of a segway.
I dont know why, but this is the most exciting project of yours, thus far. I REALLY enjoyed watching your process, and seeing the end product! I cannot wait for the subsequent part(s) to the rest of this project ^_^
Thanks, hopefully putting a Star Wars spin on it in part 2
Yes! This is screaming that it wants to be a speeder bike!@@jamesbruton, you need to build it and then get Adam Savage to skin it for you.
@@jamesbruton The bike at 1:50 is really cool, but I think the intermediate question is whether you can freeze the handlebars and control the bike with the omniwheel. Low speed control could probably be achieved without doing much more than that, but high speed control would likely involve angle control (i.e. putting the sensors on an independent swivel that you can manipulate). That's probably what I would do prior to constructing the full bike (which I think is going to run into some handling problems at higher speeds , much like a hovercraft would, though maybe that's the intent...).
génial ! i love the multi sponsorship, keep it up !!
Even if this doesnt turn out to be the most practical thing invented, this is still super interesting.
Been watching this in parts. I wonder if instead of the bike being split in two you could have the back pegs be something like a seasaw in a sort of /\ shape. Anyway, I can't wait to see where this goes!
Awesome! Looking forward to the next part!
Also, what would James Burton do if they suddenly stopped making orange plastic?
Hi James, i'm starting to get into 3D printing and I'm amazed you can print something with that much strength. what % of infill are you using for items like the brackets?
옴니휠 크기 지리네요!
I have no clue how you make something this big in just a few weeks, amazing
Well the printing would be mostly passive. Kinda like baking cookies, a bunch of setup and then taking them off and restarting the print. So he would have had plenty of time to do further designing and CNC-ing the wood parts. I honestly feel like in conception, this is insane, but execution doesn't seem that difficult. The double-staggered wheel design was a stroke of absolute genius, wouldn't have thought of that in a million years
I was waiting for you to say, "And I also 3d printed the entire body..." :p
wow, good stuff James :)
I think it might be better to have a unibody, but have your controls be able to tilt up/down instead of twisting the whole body. Would make it a lot easier to lean left and right while also being able to control the yaw independently
You're essentially driving a tank, and the easiest way to control the two independant motors is with two sticks; pull left stick to reverse left, push for forward left, and the same for right. Considering each wheel can move in four directions, I think a pair of joysticks is the only sensible control mechanism.
with a bit of decoration, this could be an incredible prop for a sci-fi movie. it feels like a futuristic motorbike
Speederbike next
do you think it would be smoother with 3 wheel sets on each side, or is 2 as good as it gets? I'm always worries about wheels making vibration that fights with the IMUs- my ArduRover truck really suffers from knobby tires; I can see the tire bumps when I download the logs, and the anti-flipping feature doesn't seem to work as well as it does with slicks.
This is so cool!
Amazing, i dont know how you kept your balance on that thing!
I love this. What if you flipped it around so you torso and legs are connected together and you arms move instead? Seems like that would be more like a regular bike instead of having your arms and torso stationary together controlling with you legs.
This was my exact thought as well. Can't really figure out if there is a reason why he mounted it the way he did.
Amazing! I would love to see this thing move outside. 👍😎
That is awesome, my kind of project
Awesome!
