Very underrated channel....This bike is awesome !!! 👍 If the friction drive isn't working out too well. I was thinking/wondering about a rear clear polycarbonate wheel with belt or chain drive. I seen polycarbonate clear/see thru wheels on a motorcycle 🏍 by Roland Sands so it should be stronge enough for an bike rear wheel without being super heavy.
Thank you. I did put in a stiffer spring which fixed the slipping issue and was going to do a follow-up video, but statistically the project was a flop. I already harvested the electronics for another build, currently in the works. Cheers
Really cool looking bike! Love the blue lights! Would love to have one! But: A belt drive would be way more practical and even easy more efficient! A better seating position would be needed! And maybe a cook looking headlight!
If there is enough interest in this project, I can make a video on the upgrades. There is a lot of wasted power as it is. At full throttle the friction drive slips. A headlight is a good idea. Thanks for watching.
Rolling art. I love it! The friction drive will destroy your tires though. If it were me, belt drive to reduce noise. OR if you were really ambitious use 3-6 RC motors where your rim rollers are. Regardless, that's just my $0.02. Awesome work! Can't wait to see your next project!
Thing is absolutely insane dude great work, beautiful homage to the 60's futurism designs. Is there any effective way to balance/true a hubless wheel? Is it possible to change to motor sprocket to up your gear ratio? Also, if I were you, and I'm not, I would CA glue a strip of grip-tape onto the drive rollers in addition to the beefier tension spring.
Thank you. I didn't clock it yet, but it does move pretty good. It still needs a stiffer tension spring, because under heavy acceleration, it spins the drive wheels.
@@chrismakesstuff1 yeah as the video closed out I was running the trouble shoots through me head and came to the idea of I thought of it on the spot prolly so did the builder but didn't work for this or that ha goes like a top too!
I love the build, but a bit dissapointed in the friction drive, but I know powering a hubless wheel only leaves so many options. As far as 26" wheels go; Schwinn used back then a 26 1⅜ size tire, it's no longer common, to the point there's probably about three tire options. Those are bigger than what we see as a modern 26" tire, that is 559mm in diameter. There were several "26 inch" tires back then. The Schwinm size is bigger than a 559 and smaller than a 650b tire/562(+/-)mm that today are oddly called 27½, for some reason as a mtb tire. They aren't 27½, they'rr smaller than a 622mm/700c tire("29er"), which is smaller than an american 27", which was also as prevailent during the time of that bike.

fun watching. thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Beautiful piece of functional art!
Thank you. I Appreciate that.

Really nice bike. You've done a great job
Thank you
Cool project!!!

You’re onto something here. Get it to go 45 mph,put a head light on it. Cool project.

Thank you. New builds already in progress.

Thank you. I appreciate it. Gear ratio is adjustable by changing sprockets or diameter of skateboard wheels.
Keep up the great work, give it a little more speeed!

thoughts on adding lights later on for the wheel housing, to give a tron bike look?
That was originally in the plans but I didn't come up with a clean way to hide them.

nice design.
Thank you
Could the back rim of the wheel, be a giant sprocket. Awesome build btw!!
I have seen some bike builds do that with chain and belt drives. Thank you.

Thanks. About the tire sizes, I was thoroughly confused when looking them up. The original schwinn was 26.5 OD for a 26in etc.

Czemu on jest taki przekombinowany?? (Konstrukcja.)
I znów DROGI wynalazek :(
Im coś nowsze, tym droższe - zauważyliście?
Allrighty-then

ラジコン用のゴムタイヤ用トラクション剤を試してみても面白いかも(笑)
That's a idea.
