im doing this for my mom and its gonna make her life so much better . thank you so much you have no idea how many lives you changed with this simple cheap build . electric chairs are soooo expensive and they are so slow . this is the best
Awesome 👌 im glad that it has helped and hope the mod goes great and thanks for your positive feedback 👍
You the man Cap. He was driving that thing like he stole it. You made him feel like a kid again .. stay safe my friend
lol Joey i think it was stolen because he was going fast lol
I got mine going for about $1100. The scooter is a EMOVE Touring no kick start. I have had it for about 3 years now. Made in the USA. MY wheelchair is a wide wheelchair it's not skinny.
Y’all are flipping amazing! I have someone who recently become wheelchair bound, and I’m determined to do something like this for him once he’s ready. I can only imagine the possibilities this may afford. Thanks for sharing!
You can do it! for your friend and im sure that will take his mobility to another level
Looked like on the video @ 18:15 your friend lost his coin purse full of gold coins in the grass . The gold coins were going to be payment for such a fine job you had done . I really enjoyed this video .👍
Thank you for watching and it was a fun project 👍
Having been active in a manual wheelchair, sports, trails, hand cycle, etc. for 35 years I like to see the type of innovation using everyday available scooters; the trouble with ones made specifically by wheelchair manufacturers, even adapted ones they are usually 50 percent to 90 percent more expensive; because they are classified by FDA as medical devices. Its just reality. One thing I noticed on this video is the height deck of scooter and the user bending his back to lean forward for weight distribution because his footplate is elevated about 4" it looks like. For many this will be very uncomfortable with a back injury, however, the lower the scooter deck the better. As technology allows for unique wider market devices like electric scooters, Segway style designs, etc. -- even a modified electric skateboard with a swivel front wheel and steering arm attached might work---being creative is wide open. This video and workmanship is a stable safe easy cheap method once you have the scooter. IMO if I could reduce the overall length of this to 12-15 inches housing a electric motor, and steering device to fit right under the footplate and have the steering pole come up between your legs, it may not even be visible.
Very great points Stan
Thank you👍👍
I’d buy that.
Making one of these myself. I have actually had it working but ran into the problem that he was talking about but with a rear wheel drive model like his. I wasn't getting enough weight on the drive wheel so it would just spin. I made it with a 12 volt scooter I got cheap just to have a proof of concept. Was planning on a different model later on. I have a power chair I use 99% of the time but want to get back into a car from my full size van so need to start using my manual chair but due to shoulder injuries to both its really hard on me.
@@jamesfrost5261 hey bro I get it...with respect I worked in DME business for ten years fitting SCI/adults and kids all levels to chairs and also sports chairs. Shoulder injuries are real. I understand. It's freedom and choice no doubt. Well if your like me researching all the new related devices as you mentioned skateboard you picked up. That is worth trying. I have a hand cycle that s older model and this year sometime, pending $, might buy used electric bike, pull wheel and electronics off and put either one or two rear wheels powered by electric motors. Been researching that.....then just take gears off and put some handlebars on like a bicycle. Having original skinny tires/rims also at same time would like to change them to something more durable....all good stuff good luck going forward.
Thank you Captain, slowly walking more each day. Can’t wait to watch you crossing over to Bimini!
Exelent cap. Get better soon.
And can't wait for Bahamas restrictions to ease up, for now fishing in florida and installing a lot of equipment on my boat until it sinks🤣🤣😉👍
The world could more people like you. Great video capt.
I need one of those for my fibro. What an excellent idea
Thanks and is easy to do you just need some 🔧 🔨 tools
Great job helping your friend become even more mobile! Now you have to take him fishing. 🍻
Yes hes now of road capability and yes sure will👍👍⚓🛥
I built me one that is much more flexible and it has huge turn signals and 2 big thermal bags hooked up on it and I even have a seatbelt and lots of lights ! I live in Downtown Vegas.
Wow Cap. You are the master fabricator. Fast, smooth and quiet. You could build those as a kit and make a fortune. Bringing more freedom and joy to the handicap population. You are a humanitarian!
thanks Fred im trying , thanks for your support 👍👍👍⚓
Fantasticvideo!! THANK YOU!The music is beautiful and your demonstrated patience and intelligence is so helpful and inspirational...your work and talent deserves a Nobel Prize!! Please don't ever stop helping people like you do!!
You are awesome thanks so much for your inspirational comment 👍
BIG TIP: Be sure to get a scooter that has ZERO START option. In most Kick Scooters like this one, you have to "push off" before it will go. This is not always an option for a crip like me. With Zero Start, you can just give it throttle and take off by the motor.
@@neemafastcat thanks for the idea 👍😉
I don't own a car and I never did! I can totally walk by the way but I can't Disneyland walk. my hip starts hurting a bunch if I walk too much. But I try to get my walking in every day. I also own a mobility scooter that I use for work.
hello this is my friend invention i just help doing the work to help him
Excellent job guys! Makes me very happy to see others with different mobility issues enjoying EV’s! 👍🏻
Thanks Gee my friend is very active
Captain, you have earned a pass to heaven! You truly are a blessing Bradda 🙏🤙
it was my pleasure to help my friend , thanks Randell big hug cap.👍👍
Hope you recover soon captain hang in there👍👍☕
Genius! A couple skateboard truck clouds threaded over those hold down bolts between star-board landing pad & bottom of wheelchair foot pad might could fill that slight void & cushion shock loads when transitioning across uneven surfaces.
very good idea Kevin that makes good improvement, thanks 👍
2nd the idea of skateboard trucks. Longboard trucks are very wide. You could bolt the base of the truck to the scooter, connect the truck to the wheelchair. It would allow the wheelchair to flex. You could adjust the tension of the truck and use firm or soft truck bushings depending on how much flex you want.
That was a nice gesture to help him out. It works great.
thanks Richard he was happy to have something to go off road😉👍👍😁
I had a small moment of panic when he first steered toward the grass, but no need.. He was going in and living free! Awesome job to both of you.
Thanks 👍 buddy and yes we made this OffRoad 😉👍
Love the project! Amazing new start up potential!
it would be but sadly someone will do it wrong and sue if you make it a business .
One thing to add to this excellent project would be to figure out for your viewers what type and power of scooter is needed to propel people of different weight. It would take some math.
@@rauldelafuentejr.2376 Great suggestion, captain, especially everybody's needs is different.Thank you for the suggestion
I'd add lock washers on top of those big flat washers under the wing nuts for added safety.
very true cap. great suggestion, thank you.👍
Electric Scotters have advanced since I tried this 8 years ago, will have to look at an upgrade.
Yes they have difrent models and better price now
God bless you and your friend bro. ✝️
Thank you for watching
couldnt pass dmv eye test, they took my licence, its 2 miles to closest groceries, i was brain storming if this would work, being disabled amputee i cannot walk,big thank you shareing this
@@rusty-oc2tj i glad this will help Rusty and drivit safe cap.👍
Shit i don't even need a wheelchair but i would build myself something like that just to cruise around the neighborhood and go to the store and get some snacks👍🏼👍🏼
That sounds like a plan.Just make sure it's safe so you don't get hurt😉👍💪
Nice conversion guys. Suggestion - Put another notch in the folding bracket so that the vertical bar matches the angle of the front of the wheelchair = better ergonomics and a sleeker asthetic. OK, I'm off to find a scooter now :)
awesome Brian thanks for the suggestion and we hope yours comes out great too. 👍
@@OutOnTheReef Thx buddy.
@@brin57 anytime buddy👍👍🏝💪
I keep moving. I'll get up on the sidewalk instead of sitting at the light. As long as I'm heading in the same direction NOTHING can stop me,most of the time.
That's the spirit!
Oh my gosh I need this please!! Please sell these! Much cheaper alternative to a mobility scooter!! I need this as a disabled person!!
thanks for watching and that was my friends Scooter i just help him put it together , i hope someone can help you make one following this video 👍
I would install anti-tip bars in back of the wheelchair
good idea
hi thank you very much to uploading this video I am very happy to see this video you know I have plan to make a wheelchair into scooter so I got it it is very easy and thankful to you because I myself my leg fracture so I want to use with so this is a way I enjoy to see this video god bless you both of you bye bye
Glad it was helpful! syed and i hope you get your done soon god bless you too
You are the Cap of DIY Engineering, love it man
Thanks Roig👍👍
Well that was different! You are a good friend for helping him, And he will get lot of use out of that! Now you got to put some pontoons and a propeller on it so he can go fishing! ! 😎👍⚓
You got that right! Cap. he loves fishing too, thanks Captain Rick ⚓
I’m ready for that captain let’s do it!
@@edvelz8073 See if you can talk him into it! LOL!🤣👍⚓
@@edvelz8073 is this your chair? How's it holding Up? Can't afford a proper motorised attachment but this is affordable and gives me so much freedom
@@hw5154 it’s working fine. This is my daily chair, I attach the scooter and use it. It is a great alternative. I suggest shop around for the best scooter there’s many options but not all will work
Great job my captain Thanks for helping my son with that invention. OH BOY he is unstoppable. Love him so much and I love you like a son . Jehová God bless 🙏you both. 😘😘😘💕💕💕👍
Thank you Ida it was fun spending time with him, he is a awesome friend ,take care and a big hug🤗
Of all the things that I thought your next video would be and you come up with this , I saw the title and said What in the world !! Seems you helped a friend out in a Big way nice !!
Cool idea and after your AC install that’s nothing for you Cap...
Lol thanks Glen in this channel i will keep giving you more surprises.
My friends idea i just help out .
Thanks for your funny comment cap👍
Awesome! Great work! Thanks for sharing. I believe it will be helpful.
Now coming : "Ground tales from a sea wolf"😂
lol thanks Jesus 😉👍⚓
#brilliant just a shame I don't know any man that has the skills to even do this.
Take this video to a local bike shop. I'm sure they can find someone to help you.
We love watching your helpful videos and what you are getting into next. Keep up the great work & stay safe
Thanks, will do! have a great nigh Debra👍👍
Drive safe...my friend here using the rear bicycle Red light for safety .and Helmet....regards from Indonesia

@@mohsenabdelrehiem4249 thank you for watching
Should put a wheelie bar on for anti flip safety. Great job!
Cool idea cap.👍
Captain your friend is a daredevil 👏
He is a very active person 😁👍
I made same concept year ago. Few things to remember:
Your arms are getting tired - lower the hand bar, like you are driving with bicycle.
Front wheel drive will "drag" left and right your rear wheel in tight corners - not a big issue.
Wear helmet
Your back is getting tired little bit after some time.
Thanks for the tip! For the back I use a thicker cushion helps sit more straight
yes that will help the back better cap.
I wonder if you could find a scooter with an angle adjustable handlebar. That would be perfect
@@THESCnando yes that would be awesome but my friend says he has a pillow to straighten up his back that will help also
Gracias por hacerle ese favor a ese hombre. Que dios te siga bendiciendo.
Fue un placer ayudarlo es un buen amigo, saludos y muchas gracias Edwin👍👍
This is such a smart idea!!!
Thanks my frind loves the mobility it gave him
@OutOnTheReef I am going to try and find some handy friends to try and do this for me!! Offloading is the feature!!! I am an amputee above knee I am very active and I hate that I can't go certain areas this was perfect
I do something similar to this but it’s so top heavy when i get on my scooter. I am about to release my new video of my ebike conversion of my old handcycle and it’s more stable and rips!
awesome and thanks for watching 👍
Great video. I use a power wheelchair, and a self-propelled chair. I'm going to buy a 2 wheeled scooter, and try this. Thanks.
Awesome hope it works👍
This is amazing.
Thank you and i'm glad you liked it👍👍
awesome video what is name of the wheel chair that has the same footrest that attaches to the scooter? there are so many brands of wheelchairs on the market
No idea peter , is my friends chair
Very cool you guys are gonna help a lot of people with this video
Thanks budy 👍
You are a good man!. . No, a great man.
C. Watts thanks buddy is awesome to help and my friend does the same for me if i needed him.
Have a awesome night cap. 👍👍🏝
g8 job guys thanks for sharing. can this go up
hills?
Yes, absolutely but not too incline and thanks for watching Karen👍
I have to do this thanks for the idea
Anytime im glad it helped you and thanks for watching
in my country we do have to do woth the problems of the US FDA leave them on the other side of the atlantic
Good job Capt. Thumbs-up to you
Thanks Ray it came out great and thanks for watching 👍
I love this. Can you put the links to the scooter and parts in the description?
Hello and sorry this is a old model and we dont jave the link for it
Duuuuuuddeee that is dope I need to do something like that for my wife
Is very easy cap. I hope this video helps you do this for your wife👍
Can reverse using the throttle?
No I don't think so
coñooo capitan eres un barbaro tremendo invento como corre y por la hierva como camina 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
Jajaja gracias Parece que ba a 20 mph
I like that HOWEVER I wish there was a way you could tilt the handle bars.
I know that way his back is more comfortable but he says he likes it
AMAZING! I wonder how his body is doing. Hope he is not in pain as the way his body is positioned a bit bend, he seams to end up in back-& shoulder pain...
Love the idea 🏆🎁‼️👍but would improve a bit on the drivers positioning💖
Yes i agree with you he is thinking to improve that soon
Great job! Inexpensive and reliable
Thank you Sergei👍👍
What size motor was on the scooter or what kind of scooter where can I find it
@@TTIME916 That's good right now.It's probably this continued because it's been a long time
De guille brother. Exito
Muchas gracias capitan😉👍👍
Very nice guys very nice. I'm gona have to build one!
Thanks is awesome buddy
Great work and a great friend!
Thanks buddy👍
Thank you I have an off road wheelchair and an electric scooter that I darent stand on as my left leg is very weak. Ill be getting something like this.
I hope it helps By watching this video to do yours And be safe
@@OutOnTheReef I would never have thought of doing this plus I have a wheelchair and a scooter and a love of modified transport.
@@denseljosephs9500 It's all about mobility
@@OutOnTheReef I rigged a test set up today 👌 had a laugh and couldn't stop smiling I've got a tip for a custom fabricator to see if he can help me build a nice rigid easily removable one like yours ill show him this video.
@@denseljosephs9500 Awesome and I hope this video can help him engineer something for you I hope it helps let me know if it does 👍😉
Exactly what I need. Thank you.
Any time and thank you for watching
Eres mi mejor amigo gracias por ser un tremendo ser humano DTB siempre
muchas gracias cap y un abrazo para ti 🤗
..great idea, good job...stay safe..
Thanks Bob and have a great day buddy
I need one of these. The ones on the market are way too expensive. My only question is how difficult is the dismount off the scooter once you're done with it?
Su song the video is just two bolts that's all it takes to put it on and take it off my friend found it really easy to do himself
buy from me,give you purchase price, please cntact sam@mijo.cc
wow, thank you
Thanks for watching
Thank you. Job well done.
Tha k you it works great and thanks for watching
Brilliant 😎
What brand of wheelchair is that?
is a Tilife ZRA
@@OutOnTheReef
Cool thanks
That is awesome. I may need to try this out
Is a blast 👍
Great video 😊👍
Thank you
Are there holes drilled into the scooter?
Yes into the frame tubes, being careful not to hit the batteries
Great job captain 👍🏾
Thanks Earl my buddy had most of the idea👍👍
Dude that's awesome!
Thank you it works great
Great video! Awesome scooter. 😎😎
Thanks buddy 👍👍
Well done Guys, I'll make one soon.
thanks Susan and hope it comes out great, thanks for watching
buy from me,give you purchase price, please cntact sam@mijo.cc
Nice....going to need those gloves for 'emergency' brake...:)
Yes you do and he use them a lot for that👍😉
@@OutOnTheReef What I do with mine is if it's rear brake (on the scooter), pull back a bit on the handlebar so that there's more pressure on the rear wheel...that will decrease the stopping distance without the emergency hand brake as much lol
@@bluemaz6 very good idea i like it👍
Is there a parts list ?
Hello and no amazon made me remove it feom their greedy bussines practice sorry
Is the size of the rear wheel of the wheelchair you are in 24 inches?
Not sure is my friends chair
Hooking a $3000 wheelchair to a $2000 scooter. :) How many hours of use on a charge? Distance and speed is not an issue it is the longevity of traveling the same speed as my family on foot.
My friend uses his scooter about 2miles and he has more the half of the battery left but if you run it slower you may get more battery life
How is it holding up? I can't afford a proper motorised attachment but this looks amazing
Is holding up great buddy is a great alternative for those expensive ones
easy and quality
great job thanks
Glad you liked it!👍👍
WOW you just gained a sub cause i was planing on doing exactly this for my mother!! Can you tell me whats the weight of the wheelchair you guys are using? And what are the specs of the scooter? my mom is not exactly light she is like 75kg plus 11kg for the wheelchair im concerned the scooter wont budge! any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was planing on using a Xiaomi Mi Electric Scooter Essential.
Thanks!!
Hello and thank you and my friend wheelchair is very light is aluminum
But they have bitter powerful scooter s to chose feom hope this helps
@@OutOnTheReef well we are not really swimming In money so gotta use what I have!
Thank you for your help anyway loved your video
Loctite on those bottom nuts would keep them from working loose. Nice job.
Thanks for the tip Dennis👍👍
what brand of chair does he have? TiLite?
Yes cap. Is a TiLite
Hi Captain i pray to god the he blesses your heart for doing that . i can see your friend so happy and excited about the wheel chair scooter triki i wish him a good health and recovery . ameen
thanks cap. it was awesome spending time with my friend , thanks buddy 👍⚓
Looks great.. Just need the bars further back somehow. That stance looks uncomfortable while riding.
Good point 👍
Awesome how amazing are use!!
Thanks 👍
What type of wheel chair is it

@@OutOnTheReef it would be good if you find out not only for me but for everyone who is wanting to know.Because you have a scooter linked posted but not the type of wheelchair.
