nice to see airgear finally getting a live action adaptation.
the only thing is that it was easy it suppose to be hard...
These a-t's are no joke lmao
Air Gear is almost a reality
Need some school girls too

“Pay close attention. This might be the video where I seriously hurt myself.” 😂
The commentary is a large part of why I love these videos so much.
This poor guy needs a cnc machine
The quality of this guys stuff will increase instantly when he finally does get one.
Just saying the Shariff DMC looks really cool and reasonably priced for CNC.
@@stonedapegaming7745 Hopefully they will be stocked again soon.
Using an angle grinder or even a file would be enough to shape some metal into that square, and make something that offers a durable connection between plastic arm and motor hub. It's not about what tools you can afford, it's about how creative you can be with the tools you have available.
Just as a side note, having a CNC machine does not solve your problems like magic. It opens up a new box full of new problems that need solving too (tool path generation, feeds, speeds, noise, different tools and there use cases, workpiece clamping, ....)
do you have a cheap one? i think cnc´s are very expensive (30.000dollars)
This reminds me of an anime called air gear. It's set in a world where there are gangs of people who ride and do tricks with high powered electric roller blades
see you in reddit
Okay I've actually watched it. Surprisingly good anime. And I don't watch anime I just like rollerblading lol.
a few more years and it's here boys
Sounds awesome.... Not

Ah, nice to see a RCLifeOn. Something oddly soothing about watching Simon's electrically-powered bashes come together (or not, depending).
Also my guy's neighbors must think he's a total maniac.

Really reminds me of Air Gear the anime "Air Trecks, also known as AT, are motorized and futuristic inline skates that are the new craze taking the nation by storm. Although each AT comes with a speed limiter, a community of daredevils known as the "Storm Riders" are brave enough to tamper with the device. Utilizing AT's in underground battles, individual teams wager valuable AT parts or team emblems-their symbol of pride-to dominate the streets."

I wanted medabots to be real by now but i will settle for Air Trecks!!!
7:01 This is something Simon says everytime "If it's orange it goes faster"
It's just really funny XD
Nice video :)
need stickers 2. peace
I wonder how fast he'd be going if he was driving with the orange mounts while wearing an orange jacket and being pulled by the orange car. Light speed, we're coming!

The rear mount for the motors should have a pivoting motor braket with shock or something to keep even pressure on the motor brakets so you can lean forward keeping motors on ground in any position and this will help giving flexibility.
Miniature coilover shocks!
Exactly! I actually saw someone draw artwork of electric skates with that exact mechanic. Makes sense!
@@ALivingFlame Afukuro, i think you are talking about his/her art
That was awesome! Printing that square shaft separately would help with not breaking due to layer adhesion if you orient it 90 degrees so the layers are along the shaft and not perpendicular! Or just use a metal square shaft! :)
Yup, that little cube is just begging to be sheared off.
A square aluminium rod would solve that weak point easily

Electric roller skates has been a dream project of mine for years. Keep up the good work Simon!
I love that "All I had to do was 3-D print" is a normal sentence now
Please, reach out to a company that sells metal CNC's. Maybe they'll give you one.
Great video as always.
In the United States there is a place called Send Cut Send where you can send them a CAD model and they'll CNC the part and mail it to you. I'm sure something like that exists in Europe too. It's like the JLCPCB of CNC.
He could just use the 3D-printed part as a form for a mold and then cast it in his garden. See here: ua-cam.com/video/HVgPM1ojyLw/v-deo.html
@@Tiger-vt3cs That could also work. Does he have a forge?
@@tomconway6808 thats so expensive unless you do em in bulk, prob better off collabing with an other youtuber with a cnc, theres quite a few
edit: actually stuff made here got his cnc for free from a sponsor deal, could be possible here too
You can also contact Sorcotec CNC from Germany
As a long time Inline Skater and Avid Ebiker, I Support This!!!!! Keep the innovations flowing brother.
If you did this again do it with inline aggressive skates because they have a fat soul plate, you wouldn't have to have all this framework just make a U bracket bolted through the soul plate and it would look a lot cleaner, Maybe even bore out an actual rubber skate wheel and have the outrunner inside that then you don't have a square edged wheel meaning you actually keep the flow of skates instead of being on ''rails'' because of the sq wheels also wouldn't sound so plasticky. Even still wicked concept! Edit; just finished the vid already said about the wheels so scratch that.
they also have the UFS sistem and it will be a lot easyer to 3d print a hole new frame for it! he also needs to stop using flat wheels!
most important: electric motor and plastic = no
@@Blox117 absolute bs. almost everything nowadays with a electric motor is plastic or 3D printed

Dude you rock.. The look on your face when bicyclist rolls.. I was ready for you to turn and burn on the turbo blades 2000 and teach home slice to respect the skate master J!! Nice work buddy
Woah, Motorball rollerblades from Alita Battle Angel! Looks good 😌
Alita Army is watching intensely
Thanks! I can relive my mis-spent youth through your adventures. (You are way better at it than I ever was!)
if you're really keen on having those mounts 3d printed then just split your design and have that mount printed flat on the printer, glue them all afterwards, the layer lines would be much stronger as you're no longer relying on the layer on layer adhesion to resist the torque
Electric scooter hub-motors front and rear might work really well. They'd be like the long hi-speed inline skates. If you found narrow enough hub-motors, the mounts could just be flat plates bolted to the existing inline skate frame. That said, 4x 300-500 watt motors in custom skate wheels that looked "normal" would be a ton of work but so amazing!
I felt your pain seeing how many controllers you had to go through to figure out the problem. Loved seeing your success as well. Keep it up!
I think this is the best air gear setup I've seen yet. I really want to copy this.
Going back and forth actually decreases your range because stopping and starting is really hard on the batteries. Getting back up to speed is what kills most of your power
I don't know about new controllers,
but first one did recuperation.
actualy, the fact of brakes means there is recuperation still.
(Tom Stanton measured 40% uphill just out of downhill)
ITS A GOOD REAL WORLD TEST. THESE AREN'T HIGHWAY MILES. THINK PLEASE.
That's an even better test. Most cases you'd be using this would be in the city where you'd be constantly slowing and braking.
Imagine seeing him ride this in the distance popping over the top of a field of grass. Just an upright man sliding forward at an unusually high speed. Beautiful.
What a massive undertaking for electrifying skates. You're really brave to stay almost straight like a plank at those speeds. Consider flexing your knees and staying lower. You'll feel more in control.
In any case, you totally rock for what you achieved 🤜🏻🤛🏻
That first test was scary, no helmet, no gloves & no knee pads, you are mental but very talented!
I love that Simon just tries to bring to life all of those stupid ideas that we all had while being children :D
Dude, love your accurate world map in the background! Great project!
You should try driving the rear wheel (4th wheel) of the skates with the skateboard wheel from above. Like have the skateboard wheel contacting the skate wheel from behind and above so only the original wheels touch the ground. You'd have a bit less friction for acceleration, but I think the benefit of being able to use the skates like normal would outweigh that. Plus you wouldn't have to worry about the drive system supporting your weight.
That's actually brilliant. Simon pls look into that
Belt drive system?
@@NatsumeKonno Dont we use hub mottors to ditch the transmission?
@@PatchworxStudios belt drive only has 1 gear on an esk8 they also have direct drive. Never seen a transmission on an esk8. To scary to add more top end speed for me.
@@NatsumeKonno Never seen a belt drive with ONE gear/pulley. On esk8 you sacrifice speed for power not vice versa.
Also, for the square shaft part: if you can find square nuts with the right external size you can use the oldschool 2 nut locknut trick to have a non plastic square shaft. You tighten the 2 nuts against each other on the shaft and they will lock in place from the torque. This way the torque is applied to the metal shaft instead of the plastic. It may be possible to use this same idea to hold the shaft from spinning in the plastic too. Print parts with square holes that the nuts can sit in. Then use flange nuts or a nut and washer to keep it from moving laterally.
Nice video))) the experience of using 3D printed mounts in this video showed that for the next projects you need a small cnc milling machine to make such parts from aluminum)) You can assemble a cheap cnc router using the MPCNC Primo as an example, its rigidity is enough for milling aluminum, which is ideal for your purposes ))
Was just thinking about the motorball scenes in Battle Angel Alita the other day and thinking "why haven't electric skates become more of a thing?!" After watching this, CLEARLY, they could be. Great fun to see this come together for you.
You may want to get new wheels for the hub motors if you are planning to revise this project. I recommend to get offroad/street wheels or something like cloudwheels because it will give you more surface area for when turning, while also making it alot easier to turn as opposed to the flat standard PU sleeves, al while providing better grip as you said.
Love the idea for the next video man! That's how things should progress. All is good! Good luck to you. Can't wait!
although it might seem dangerous, i think you could fashion a waterproof leg strap bag to replace the backpack to store the electronics and batteries, might keep center of gravity lower down too for better balance
Did you not see the size of those batteries?
As a kid, I used to dream of this technology and pretend like everyone is riding electric roller skates around me. Then I see this video 15 years later. Amazing
This man gonna manifest Air Gear into reality all by himself
can't wait for ATs to become real
True lol
Sleeping Forest unite!
you are the man I imagine when I think of volvo drivers. awesome project.
I subscribed because you showed your prose and failures. Also I love the editing. Good stuff!
Great project! Your center of gravity is off when mounting the wheels on the rear of the skate, have you thought of getting a triskate and replacing the center wheel with the hub motor? Then for the controller instead of making it a trigger make it like a European E-bike where when you push off naturally (which is how you maintain balance while skating by shifting weight rapidly) the motors supplement the forward motion. Then when you are at 10 or 15 the controller can output full power.
Honestly I've wanted to do this for years, thx for making it so approachable!
Fantastic build! Definitely needs metal brackets, looks like a lot of fun though!
I broke both wrists and got a concussion just watching this. Outstanding project!
Dang, Simon must really trust the public with leaving his camera out there
It’s Europe, honest peoples.
@@hawk7825 Europe has many different communities, where this principle is not fully applied. If you say northern Europe, it's closer and I would say it's Sweden ... somewhere in countryside, not far from Goteborg, on the local road between Sjuntorp and Velanda
One of the best videos on youtube in 2021 for sure.
If you get square metal (sometimes called "key stock") you might be able so make it slip in for the motor mount
The whole mount needs to be metal...
@@SolarizeYourLife agreed. But if his main machine's are 3D printers, it might help at least
That is a very clever solution. Hub motors are the way to go it's just a pity no one makes them fit standard inline skate wheels. I had to give up inline skating as I'm getting too old and don't have the power to skate on the streets as I once did.
Awesome!~As a long-time blader, If you make a version that you can mount in less than 5 minutes and costs under 1000 bucks I'm buying! also what about a ball instead of a roller for a pushing wheel?
It needs a curved profile for sure to allow comfortable leaning.
I think the cylindrical roller is probably just more efficient in terms of materials and bulk. It's just the spinning motor with a rubber housing; you'd probably need a pretty complex drive mechanism to spin a spherical roller.
@@thefez-cat I agree to that.
maybe adding a bigger wheel with rounded profile will solve that
The large surface of the flat wheel helps a lot with traction. A round wheel has only a very small contact area, so it would probably spin at acceleration and lock/slip when breaking easily. You could probably help that with leaning back and pushing harder on the driven wheel, but that just brings new issues with the weak plastic arms breaking and you trying to balance out the system while riding. I could see this concept work much better with "offroad rollerblades" that have larger and usually softer wheels to begin with.
Fantastiskt!! Ett par Powerslides eller liknande hade ju varit kanon för detta konceptet.
Då behöver du inte oroa dig för underlaget. Tack för väldigt underhållande videos.
So AirGear?
Theres a pretty good anime similar to this concept.
Thought too, maybe that could be a good source of inspiration
Warner Bros. did it first though.
Dude I hope you get bigger, Your videos have some of the best content
Your effort is recognized
Do You remember airGear?😯
i went through my experimental/diy/poor phase in my 20's. things rarely every worked long term and ended up cost much more than expected. I now appreciate the R&D cost that goes into products. its entertaining now that these concepts can be paid for with you tube.
Why not printing a "tire" interface for the hub motor? And making it round, like a motorbike tire, it would allow you to lean left and right!
Nicely done! Would love to see a production version, something to challenge Razor's attempt!
Hell yeah all ways love the vids Simon
I'm glad you're adding tires next, it's the only way to go!
10:22 I love how we can gauge the temperature and humidity based on the color of your cheeks, you're like a human barometer
You are awesome for making this video. I'm still wearing my traditional braces too until 9/2021. Good luck with the iterations in the future if you do any.
This GUY is GREAT HE should have his own show some where on tv or the would stage .BUT HE ALL READY IS ....WELL DONE SIR.. .
I knew it was just a matter of time before someone did this...Well Done...
im 50 i now esk8. riding those in the rain deserves a sub!! Subbed
Man, I need a 3D printer or a CNC machine, It just looks like so much fun to be had. You, rock man, keep building and save up for a CNC machine. Start a GoFundme or something, I think you would be able to sell the stuff you make too if it were CNC cut.
Two words for you my friend! Knee Pads and Wrist Guards! Good Job!
I can not believe you got that to work. I am so impressed. That is so fucking cool 😎
By far my favorite channel on youtube :-)
liked because of the amount of effort behind the video and good content!
All my jet grind radio dreams are coming closer to a reality!
Kinda like the blades from the anime 'Air Gear'.
As always, great vid!
Hey I remember youuuuu!!
Yeah yeah the Ice Skates!!!
That's was awesome bruv!
Kudos man
If you gimbal and spring load the motor mounts you can use them like normal rollerblades. Also keep your knees bent a little for stability. Nice build.👍
YOU ARE AWSOME BRO!!! 😀😀😀 LOVE YOUR PROJECTS DUDES, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MATE 😊😊😊 KIND REGARDS FROM N.Z.
amazing craftsmanship/engineering! love it. i'd previously thought of making a similar set of electric in-line rollerblades, but different - think of the slades rollerskates that are detachable from the shoe/boot, but in rollerblade form factor, and with the battery pack meant to be carried in a backpack. so.. like if you took/removed the boot, replaced it with a thin metal plate with attachment points, then had a shoe (like the slades rollerskate shoe) that had a complementary attachment point -- and the battery isn't in the boot/skate platform but in the backpack with a wire. honestly if there was a company selling them i think they'd sell. you must get told this a lot, but if you sold these as an assemble-able kit, or partially assembled kit (the motor & wheel onto the bracket, the electric bms/motor controller).. and the end user has to buy a specific set of rollerblades, or you have them as a kit... i think they could sell. how MANY, i don't know, but slades are a thing so.. maybe enough to make a small side business from. could do a kickstarter, with a minimum amount of units sold needed before it kicks off, to make it worth, then contract a chinese company to do the assembly. easier said than done for sure, but a thought. the main difference with this kind of design is you can take them off your shoes and wear them at work, keeping them in a backpack, then clip them on at end of the workday and rollerblade home if you're close enough where that's practical.
Legendary… Engineer Extraordinaire! That was a lot of work and iteration. Stay at it.
Looking like a new avengers superhero. Nice vid!
That is really cool dude I enjoyed watching that I'm looking forward to the next one
Super keen to see those off road roller blades 👍
Cant wait to see the offroad version👌 Nice job
Hoverboard wheels with their hub motors would rock for an offroad one ;-D
Love this. Seriously impressed by the integrity of your prints, even though one spindle failed. Incredible it didn't shatter like glass in the winter when you did the ice skate version.
Did you consider putting the motors in front? If so, why'd you choose the back. Seems like leaning forward to go forward might be more natural and/or safer. Would allow for keeping a brake on the back too - just in case...
Always have to see what Simon says. You always crack me up man.
I think what you're doing is awesome and so ingenious. Keep up the good work bro.
Now they are orange so they 'll be faster. Awesome dude!
This is so awesome, a spring-assisted shock in the back could help with stress.
why need spring when you have... leg? yeah leg.
I LOVE this idea. This concept used on the off-road skates with their larger wheels and longer wheelbase would be epic.
The Powerslide XC Skeleton 150 All-Terrain Skates enable the rider to strap skates to their normal shoes.
Having the bigger pneumatic wheels would give a far better ride quality, better traction on all surfaces. Also being able to take them off to walk if needed without having to carry a pair of shoes as well, would greatly add to their practicality.
Having the front wheels powered would be safer because you could then have an emergency brake at the back to stop in a hurry and in case you topple backwards under acceleration.
You are amazing, love your ideas. Your dry humor is Adorable..keep up ur amazing lifestyle keep creating. Thank you for making my day.and making me LAUGH 😅🤣..BLESS YOU☺
I didn’t know I needed these so badly
You have created the skates from Air Gear!!!! AWESOME
I REALLY wanted to build this college. Maybe I should give this a try too now.
wow, I like the idea 😍
would be cool to have the battery mounted on the rollerblade, not in the backpack, and have something like "assistant mode", so it could help on slopes, but you will still have option to ride as usual.
your an awesome genius! hey when you're riding them squat down close to the ground and you will be more stable not falling over. but then you need to figure out what to do with the slack wires. good luck broski look hella fun!
There is probably a good market for this, people buy all kinds of crazy stuff. You should think about making a start-up.
Catchy name, bright graphics, cool logo, it would sell like hot cookies.
I've always wanted to make a big wheel version of this with tires.
Epic videos bro, luv em
Damn! Simon looks old now or should i say matured xD it's been freaking years since i started watching him. Phew time flies so fast.
This has some serious Air Gear/ Jet Set Radio vibes!
Your editing is very good 👍👍👍😚
I think you have something special and new for the PEV world 🙏🏼
I think this is great! As a hockey player and trick skater in my teens, the natural motion of skates are to switch to inner and outer edges of the wheels. Like ice skates. I feel the least stable when riding the center, so this big ass flat wheel in the back seems wrong.
I think there was another comment that scooter wheels might be better, so you can get the edge motion going on, and it would feel more natural and assist on long rides or commutes.
Very interesting, would love to see this perfected
