I remember my late father tell us how happy he was to see me and my younger brother just hanging out together. Many years later, now that I'm a dad, I understand what my dad was saying. I LOVE hearing that my kids hang out together and just enjoy each other's company. I'm sure your parents feel the same way. 😁
At 60mph leathers are a must. I heard that bone grinds down 1mm a second at 60mph. So no matter what at that speed without protection your body will get hurt a lot. Impact protection only goes so far.
I used to make those batteries from scratch what you'll need is nickel plate, spot welder, heat shrink for batteries and wires, BMS(batter management system and the batteries themselves. Took me about a day to complete a battery pack
Do not ... DO NOT! Put water on a Lithium Ion battery fire. The correct answer is sand. And for a battery that size, lots of sand. Think like outdoor garbage container sized, if not more.
Hell of a job guys. Thanks for the video. This is a theme that pro scooter manufacturers should be striving for. I enjoy some suspension myself, but the most important thing that manufactures miss is the size of the wheels. LOSE those tiny wheels. Just lose them. These are not a kids kick scooter. If you're going to build a scooter that runs at high speeds, you need stability. Bicycles and motorcycles have better stability because they have much larger, heavier wheels. This allows a tremendous amount of centrifugal force to be built up, stabilizing the machine. Lose those 10 and 11 inch wheels and go for at least 15 inch or so. You guys did a hell of a job here. Thank you again for the video.
I think this is what makes your channel unique you have definitely found your niche building cool things that no one would ever think to build and then doubling how cool it is !! I’m a subscriber since 40,000 and I’ll always support your crazy adventures!
Wow yeah! No one has ever, ever thought of building a really fast electric scooter before! So crazy! They should try building a fast ELECTRIC car next. No one had ever thought of those either.
Dang! You guys think of something and you put everything you have into to it and never give up! Keep up that mindset guys, very healthy and very entertaining!
I love how you guys make projects, and build it no matter the cost. No matter if you could buy a Wolf King GT that's way better, for the same price. No limits on cost, just get the project completed. Love it. 💪
Y'all know how to weld and do all that other work, why even start with the moped lol. Seems like simple bar stock would result in a better looking and more custom scooter showing off your skillz more. Dope project nevertheless!
i was watching this on my phone and needed to come login in and drop you a like and comment. @6:31 the fact you boys stayed commited means the world, even tho you both didnt have the money.
i rarely click the like button on videos, but i liked this one just because i hope it gives just even a little amount of money to you guys so you can keep making these amazing videos. And everyone should do the same
you should click the like button on any video that you enjoy. It's not asking much, and people put a lot of work into videos for you to just freeload and not even help them out by clicking your mouse, that's just rude
When your first battery exploded, there is a very high likelihood that only a small fraction of the individual battery cells inside suffered damage. you could have bought a new BMS protection board and rebuilt it for significantly less than buying a new battery. Cool video and amazing build!!👍🛴
BMS only protects when charging/discharging and balances the cells when charging. That was thermal runaway, caused by shitty Chinese cells from China - 'UnitPackPower' is notorious for exploding batteries.
Man I love you guys, your videos are so inspiring and powerful, that ending song is such a banger too!!! I probably watched the bus one 4 times and the skateboard one 3 times and I'll be watching this again for sure
I built a scooter just like this...same color and probably same motor. Different controller. I know exactly how you felt when your battery exploded. In my case it was the motor that malfunctioned. It can be expensive but sometimes the reward at the end is worth it.
It's 3am and I'm about to watch and like every video you've posted. Please don't stop, not only that you motivate people with it but also that you show everything that goes with it, whether good or bad. What I would still be interested in would be the total cost of each project. Keep up the good work!
Relative to their cost? Suspension, water proofing, better controllers, user controls, dual in-wheel motors that can handle the load/heat and shipping.
I love these videos. I really don't know why this video isn't a 500 thousand like video, but I really hope you don't stop making videos like these Chay. Honestly my favorite video and youtuber I've watched in at least a month. (this is my 3rd time watching it because I want to make a similar scooter).
This was incredible to watch and I love all of your videos, but as soon as you pulled out the first battery and showed it was from Amazon, I was almost certain there was going to be a fire. I'm an engineer and do a ton of work with electric vehicles and you basically have two options for lithium batteries for large custom projects: put a ton of hours into learning how to build them yourself using quality cells and components, or shell out the extra cash and get something custom made like you did in the end. Anything else is a gamble, especially Chinese packs from Amazon. You blamed the issue on the motor controller, and technically proper settings on the motor controller COULD have prevented the battery pack from exploding, but so should the pack itself. The listing on Amazon clearly states that the pack has a BMS Board, something that would have prevented a (presumably) over-discharge related fire. In this case though, it clearly failed. Sorry if this is seen as unsolicited advice, you're crazy smart but I'd hate to see you waste more money on videos through mistakes like this.
You should have lengthened the handlebars and built a deck with the battery and controller underneath that way the battery won't die if you hit a pothole or puddle I just built a razor dirtbike 2kw and 48v I got my Honda plastics coming in today for it You guys are definitely an inspiration, my next projects are a house pontoon boat and remodeling a travel trailer/5th wheel
Facts in video major cap. 0% chance you get like 60 miles of range let alone 100. And also 0% chance you hit 60 mph with only 5kw, didnt show pics, didnt happen.
The Dude Scooter. The creators are too broke to even buy another battery. Needed 2 months of hard work at McDonald's to get the dow. Yeah...American dude ingenuity at it's best...dude. Next you guys should build a Dude Rocket and go for the Moon mission! Then you can keep saying "dude" while weightless!
“He sent so much electricity to the motor it started burning” Do these guys actually not understand the fundamentals or do they just think their audience is dumb?
9:09 to be honest motorcycle protective gear would be better here. I know it is not as cheap as the solution you got for knees and elbows, but would protect way better.
yeah dont hit any bumps with that battery placement XD
Probably couldn't hit any bumps that would damage the battery without eating shit on a suspensionless scooter :D
I remember my late father tell us how happy he was to see me and my younger brother just hanging out together.
Many years later, now that I'm a dad, I understand what my dad was saying. I LOVE hearing that my kids hang out together and just enjoy each other's company.

You are already a carpenter and now you have become a mechanic, amazing
surprisingly always have been cause they made a drivable krusty krab car that was highway legal
And a plumber technically 😂

Nah. The other people do all the work. He just acts here and there for the camera
At 60mph leathers are a must. I heard that bone grinds down 1mm a second at 60mph. So no matter what at that speed without protection your body will get hurt a lot. Impact protection only goes so far.
Of all the mechanical creators I watch. Tom Stanton, Peter Sripol etc this one definitely has the best sound track.
I'm starting to guess that Chay has a lot of blue paint leftover from the bus project and he's building awesome things just to use it 😂
Honestly, I think it looked better with a blue frame wooden step on, and metal bodywork
Geil
love the dedication even though you guys couldnt afford the battery and waited 2 months
He’s got almost a million subs he def was able to afford that battery lol

No superfluous measuring, no perfect lines and edges, just purely freestyling it. Thats the best 📈📈

On most e-scooters the frame revolves around the battery. How did you guys not think out that the first time?
8:43 them casually having a whole school bus in the left😂
If you guys need a battery for an upcoming project hit us up! ;)
Hi do you have some forum or chanel (like discord...) for community to chat?
Do you know any good e bikes!
CHAY YOUR VIDEOS ARE INCREDIBLE!!! Always an exciting watch, seeing you build something from scratch. You deserve at least a million subs!!!
Great work. First video I've seen of you. Already like your content
Dang! You guys think of something and you put everything you have into to it and never give up! Keep up that mindset guys, very healthy and very entertaining!
I thought a Porsche 911 was a widow maker Jesus this is something else
So on my electric scooter my 0-30 is 3 seconds in low traction. My 0 -45 is 4.8. The fastest I been is 53 and that's never been past 30% power
I love your videos Chay. You make my day!
President Chay deserves 1 million subscribers
your videos are cool man. Thanks for making my day again 🤟
I love how you guys make projects, and build it no matter the cost. No matter if you could buy a Wolf King GT that's way better, for the same price.
No limits on cost, just get the project completed.
Love it. 💪

What should u do then?

When your first battery exploded, there is a very high likelihood that only a small fraction of the individual battery cells inside suffered damage. you could have bought a new BMS protection board and rebuilt it for significantly less than buying a new battery. Cool video and amazing build!!👍🛴
Playing around with this battery is dangerous you have to know what to do and have the right tools
BMS only protects when charging/discharging and balances the cells when charging. That was thermal runaway, caused by shitty Chinese cells from China - 'UnitPackPower' is notorious for exploding batteries.
Might I suggest a jk smart bms?
Awesome job you guys are so creative and are great building partners! Very cool too see please keep it up! 👍
You guys got some skills 💯😎
These guys will be dead in a few months by not wearing a helmet doing. I don't think they're very smart do you

Where's the ironman suite, mark I, come on, out with it! lol We know you guys build it with a box of scraps!
Interesting!!

BRO THAT MOPED DID GO 16 MPH AT THE START THATS FASTER THAN MY 600$ CUSTOM XIAOMI LITE 3 SCOOTER WTFFF
How much for it
i think not for sale
I could build one likely for about $1,500
I would not do this, think about that front fork hitting a 2 inch bump and bending at 50 mph.
About three fiddy
More than you can afford pal

Awesome build, I am glad you were able to rebuild it after the battery caught fire.
Nerd
Now I’m wondering how an electric hyper scooter cost more than a mini camper
I had the same idea in mind
THE BATTERIES!! TRUTH
Relative to their cost? Suspension, water proofing, better controllers, user controls, dual in-wheel motors that can handle the load/heat and shipping.
The unsuspecting little old lady 😅
Can we just appreciate the time and effort Chay puts into his videos. It's truly amazing.

my 3 kw commercial electric scooter can hit 90km/h and gives 100 km range the name is ola S1x+ (Indian brand)
What i wanted to say is that that thing can easily do what he claims
Also you probably don't know shit about electric vehicles
They used a 1800w motor and said it was a 7kw bike motors peak is probably 2500w (but still good video)
