You should put a T handle to hold onto and fix the controls to . That way you have something to hold onto and use upper body weight to help steer as well . I bit more power and I bet you could get that thing really flying and a bit safer .
Nah IMO anything rigid that's constrained to the deck defeats the purpose. The main reason it's cool is it forces you to use your balance to control it. Otherwise it's just a scooter or an open cabin car which is cool too but not the same. Plus the easier it is to maneuver the higher the chance of doing something dumb.
@@JJFX- I agree with all that . Just suggesting a small compromise to make it more user friendly . Skateboards don't typically have engines or brakes either ...so ...compromises have already been made to make this function.
Vlad mentioned personal protective equipment, which is good. Somebody else mentioned a "dead man switch", to shut it off and apply the brake if the rider falls off. I was thinking that too. The idea of a harness is an excellent one, and I wish I'd thought of it. The reason it wants to roll and turn on acceleration is the engine's crankshaft runs fore and aft. When the engine accelerates, it increases the torque on the crankshaft but it also increases the counter-torque on the crank case. That forces one side of the deck down, and the trucks translate that into a turn. If the crankshaft ran side to side, it wouldn't try to turn on acceleration. It would try to lift one end of the board, but that would not affect the turning behavior of the board. I am waiting with bated breath to see what Long Board v2.0 brings.
I think you may be wrong about why it turns on acceleration. It’s the differential turning only one wheel so when you accelerate the drive wheel pushes forward making it lean. Weld the gears to make it positrac and I think it will solve the problem.
Aren't the engine and driveline mounted to the axle though? So the board shouldn't torque-steer at all, right? (Seems like an important and intentional design feature to me...) I think the board steers more with throttle only because that also means the wheels will be rolling, which reduces steering effort - much like operating a tractor/truck/etc that lacks power steering.
@@sparcnut with a differential, only one wheel is putting power to the ground while the other is freewheeling. The powered wheel will naturally pull that side forward and with this type of steering mechanism, it will cause it to lean in the direction of the drive wheel. Welding the gears so both wheels pull together will eliminate the problem.
This is so much nostalgia for me! I remember when I was like 15 or so, I bought this motorized longboard (2-Stroke too, back in the day) and I had so much fun with it! It was very unsafe, very fast and an absolute blast to drive! It fucked up my entire back at one point because me, being smart, thought that a t-shirt was perfectly adequate protection. 🤣 Thank you so much for making this!
This is "hands down" one of the coolest inventions I have ever seen (legit) as an amateur skateboarder. I think you should definitely patent this! For a little less board roll, you could try a spring resistance system like a mountain longboard 💯👍👏🙋
Always better than almost all the American automotive youtube channels. The only one who does more interesting or crazy things is probably Whistlindiesel.
Awesome fun. Great job guys. Ever thought about making something that fly's? Remember those toy tethered planes that took off and landed while attached to a pole/post. If you based it on a Lada it would need a lot of weight shedding and still need a lot of lift. Not sure if it's even possible but if anyone can, Vlad can.
If you install a handlebar then you've turned it into a scooter and could call it that in the video. It also needs scuff pads to make your shoes less likely to slide. This is pure Garage 54 with the 2-stroke and cable grips, but I wouldn't be surprised if another channel made one with an electric motor and battery so that it's more powerful and quieter. I didn't think it would turn very well, but it's actually quite good. Kudos to the guys for figuring this one out as they went.
Absolutely amazing! Also, no need to do a voiceover, hearing it in Russian and with the music naturally, but with a subtitle option, would be way better.
Some springs or bushings to help it return to center, and adjusting the ratio on the steering may help. For now it wants to fall into a turn and takes a lot of lean for a little turning.
have you guys ever tried dynamically balancing a car tire with beads or golf balls instead of lead weights? I've seen it done with trucks but not a car.
The skateboard needs a certain suspension where it works stiffly when you balance in the center but once you lean to the left or right it automatically knows to move over
Great design, all you nead is safety cables front and back so you can focus on turning and brake as hard as you can, like have a harnes on you and cables holding you in place from rolling back and from tipping foreward, then you can upgrade that engine, the breaking force and really have some fun with that thing. Hope to see a part two on this, you will never fall off if you had cables.
rig a steering rack to the frame with some sort of handle bar through the board that you pull left or right to tilt and attach brake / gas controls to . would also be something to hold on to . :) good work guys!
Great stuff, guys! One suggestion to make it easier to control is to use hydraulics to control the roll. The hydraulics can be controlled by two valves on some pedals you step on.
You guys should add wedges of wood to stand on, similar to how the edges of a skateboard are slightly taller than the center. It may make the "roll" more manageable.
Harness as well, attached at 3 different anchor points with lanyards, left, right, and aft, with only enough slop to let you shift your weight. So you can't get thrown off and you can stop without being thrown forward
I love that guys...but maybe you should put a handlebar somewhere at the middle maybe from a bike, and put those controls on it, in that way you'll have better control and stability...😊😊
wow this is a well thought out idea and could be a sensation down the road. looks like it could be patented it is clean and well put together. just need to practice safety while riding it great job guys.
I have an idea for the seat. That’s one hell of a sport. The seat lay back with a nice tube to support it. Futuristic stuff. And a front windows. To protect the front with bars guard
Very nice accomplishment, guys. It's really cool, and I've never seen anything like it before . Would like to see what y'all can accomplish with part two of this .
Hydraulic (or cable wrapped around a tube using a steering wheel) tilt steering for better control. Mount maybe 4 passenger seats (+driver) and you'll have a skateboard taxi. And about 20 more HP.
This is so badass. You guys have become damn good at quick fabrication work. I think you've created a monster with this one and a lot of channels will be popping up with their own designs in no time. Hell, I'd be tempted to make one if I had the time.
This is legit very practical if the steering becomes easier (wheel) and you add a seat with belt. Just those 2 changes should make it safe to go at much higher speeds and probably some weight reduction would help a lot too. Maybe some steel bumpers for good measure, a plate place and signaling to make it street legal and that'd make me and a bunch of people get one. Simply because it's easy to repair, minimalistic in what it has and very good for parking with the double axle steering. I hate bikes because they're with 2 wheels, but if a bike-like simple car exists with 4 wheels i want it.
Looks pretty damn fun. To upgrade, cover the center standing area in anti-slip grip tape, upgrade he steel cables to wider ropes with a triangle-kinda handle at the end, mount each of them as far to their respective side as possible and you should have pretty stable riding stance for higher speeds.
if u put a Handel on the centre of that skateboard to mount the throttle and brake, it will become more easier and even more fun to ride. btw great work👍
Add the textured foot surface for better grip and control... stand in a different position to get better performance and reaction once the familiarity increases...
Definitely needs some spaced out foot locks like on snowboards. Wide enough and in the right stance and you can easily lean onto one foot to turn. Also, id love to see the turn radius vs a car!
Needs wheel arche covers or someone's gonna get noodled through the gaps around the rear wheels. Needs a padded post about waist high you can lean against when breaking. Beyond that, the contraption is perfect. I'd call this Super Moto Surfing.
They need something like boot straps on skis to lock their feet into the board. It would make it much easier to control direction and also safer as well.
Handlebar like others have said. Could even use more bike parts for throttle / brake and the handlebars even. Or....you could go FULL NUTS and install throttle / brake pedals as pressure sensors on the floor of the contraption. One on each side. Make it a TRUE skateboard (you'd have to grippy up the surface though too like a skateboard).
Using some type of a progressive shock, so the harder you try turning the more resistance there is a progressive setup might help fix the you are talking about.
Make an electric version for more torque 👍 Also thinner wheels might help with weight and more movement. Also a kill switch to stop it from rolling forward if / when u fall off like those cables on a treadmill :D
Some better gearing and maybe a belt with some cables to front and back of the board(for help dealing with acceleration and braking) I’d say you have a very marketable concept. Edit: maybe just one cable from a belt on the rider’s waist with one cable from the back end of the board instead of two. With one from the back you can lean hard into acceleration and be safe of any sudden stops. Maybe a safety lanyard which will give if there is a sudden stop. I change to one from two because two would lock you into a certain stance that might cause too much fatigue.
Garage 54 NEVER dissapoints !!!! Nice contraption !!!!.
*disappoints
I'm not going to lie you can probably make 100 of them and sell out in a week
I'd buy one
Me too
I remember seeing a giant one down under
You had better not lie! Looks like we all want to try one 👍
Word!
Legitimately looks like a fun ride. Some safety equipment and a dedicated place and I bet you could do pretty fast speed without feeling in danger.
A helmet maybe 😂
a helmet, maybe straps to put your feet in. maybe a shirt too, asphalt burns hurt like hell
You should put a T handle to hold onto and fix the controls to . That way you have something to hold onto and use upper body weight to help steer as well . I bit more power and I bet you could get that thing really flying and a bit safer .
getting it 'flying' should not be the goal
That’s a scooter. 🛴
I think that makes it no more a skateboard. Their execution was perfect!

Kill switch can be as simple as a wire attached to your belt and the break point being a magnet, you fall and it will shut off the engine.

Wow - G54 should build these and set up a new class of motor racing 👍👍 I'd love to see SkateCar racing.
Tony Hawk's Pro sklada
This channel is great
Two shocks on each axle would make the unit easier to control. It would slow the immediate reaction to positional changes. Excellent post, as usual.
Yeah! You're right! On a skateboard the whole system is sprung and dampened by the poly bushing. It returns to center when released.
This is so much nostalgia for me! I remember when I was like 15 or so, I bought this motorized longboard (2-Stroke too, back in the day) and I had so much fun with it!

5:59 Shucks from a Lada 🤣 Even the captions say that. Your translations and voiceovers are still very impressive!

So true, this is actually amazing. If they could understand each other, WhistlinDiesel and Garage35 should collaborate
Whistlin diesel is a crackhead and car hater.
To compare him with garage54 should get you in jail
@@fluffsquirrelHow dare you.
You definitive Lack of taste
perhaps one of the BEST videos of Garage 54. Awesome not some shoddy stuff !!
This is why I love you guys.
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
Awesome fun. Great job guys. Ever thought about making something that fly's? Remember those toy tethered planes that took off and landed while attached to a pole/post. If you based it on a Lada it would need a lot of weight shedding and still need a lot of lift.
Not sure if it's even possible but if anyone can, Vlad can.
It needs to start off level like a skateboard, and return to level after turning..a skateboard doesn't stay tilted.....I love it! Very cool!
If you install a handlebar then you've turned it into a scooter and could call it that in the video. It also needs scuff pads to make your shoes less likely to slide.

Braille Skateboarders need to try this👍🏼
Awesome! Best one yet! I think there could be an international market for these big skateboards; Races, obstacle courses, etc. Great one guys!
Just when I think I've seen it all...
Welcome to Garage 54 😂
Absolutely amazing! Also, no need to do a voiceover, hearing it in Russian and with the music naturally, but with a subtitle option, would be way better.
!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been watching these guys for years you never know what they are gonna do next !!
This is seriously incredible. Excellent work, guys. I want one.
Some springs or bushings to help it return to center, and adjusting the ratio on the steering may help. For now it wants to fall into a turn and takes a lot of lean for a little turning.
actually, if you lay down on it, with head forward, and drove it like a bobsleigh would probably be fun :)
very cool design!
Very human
have you guys ever tried dynamically balancing a car tire with beads or golf balls instead of lead weights? I've seen it done with trucks but not a car.
Warped perception did it recently
th-cam.com/video/UZQXPLfOPXc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NxiI2phAdWwsVIFV
Now all they need is grip tape and fenders for safety
10:42 "anyone wanna try this out?"
"We're good."
The skateboard needs a certain suspension where it works stiffly when you balance in the center but once you lean to the left or right it automatically knows to move over
Springs to both push back on roll torque and to help self center it
You guys should tour this to some places! People would get a big kick out of it!
That was awesome, and a lot of fun! Thank you!
That's just way too cool!!! Congrats!!!
You guys are just badass! You guys are hacks , but also precision at the same time! Nobody compares to 54Garage!
I love this channel. Interesting experiments done well and with humour
@9:00 area, I can see some snowboard bindings would help out staying mounted good and safely!
Amazing build!!!!

Ring around body type of handle and some long platforms on a sides to put a feet during turns 😊
It needs a little podium to help hold you upright. Attach the brakes and throttle to the podium. Like a bicycle handles, but it's fixed to the board.
Great stuff, guys! One suggestion to make it easier to control is to use hydraulics to control the roll. The hydraulics can be controlled by two valves on some pedals you step on.
You guys should add wedges of wood to stand on, similar to how the edges of a skateboard are slightly taller than the center. It may make the "roll" more manageable.
Brilliant. You should be exporting these. And using it without a skid lid... hardcore.
"Shut up and take my money!!!"
LOL seriously tho that looks fun af!
Your are so totally mad I just love it.😂
Handles and grit-tape it's like sandpaper (keeps feet from slipping off the board) for skateboards, steps, pool areas, bathtubs, and other areas.
Harness as well, attached at 3 different anchor points with lanyards, left, right, and aft, with only enough slop to let you shift your weight. So you can't get thrown off and you can stop without being thrown forward
I love that guys...but maybe you should put a handlebar somewhere at the middle maybe from a bike, and put those controls on it, in that way you'll have better control and stability...😊😊

Hydraulic (or cable wrapped around a tube using a steering wheel) tilt steering for better control. Mount maybe 4 passenger seats (+driver) and you'll have a skateboard taxi. And about 20 more HP.
Use Spring/Damper combinations from a motorbike instead of the car dampers.
Also increase the Tire pressure to reduce the drag.

This is An absolute new trend..
This tops at all you guys are gonna make money with this, You guys are gonna be building these for people❤❤❤
From America This is a cool shop I hope we can all get along ..We are very similar people should have metal bar in center to steer
That was awesome build.. only thing i would add is foot stops.. on each side.. so you can't slide too far one way by accident or if it gets wet..
Add the textured foot surface for better grip and control... stand in a different position to get better performance and reaction once the familiarity increases...
I am definetly a bad welder, but jeeeesus... these videos make me look like a pro with 40 years of experience.
That's a great design, but how about a wireless control for comfortability.❤❤
Put the cords to the outside for better turning instead of in the middle
Definitely needs some spaced out foot locks like on snowboards. Wide enough and in the right stance and you can easily lean onto one foot to turn.
Also, id love to see the turn radius vs a car!
Amazing. Handles, and tune the two stroke exhaust pipe - it's not getting in the power band.
That turned out great. Now you need to patent it and sell them all over the world!
Seems very nice. Should have some torsion suspension. Maybe made of rubber. To keep it upright.
I think Garage 54 just invented a new Olympic sport.
have been blown away by the competence of your crew. Very skilled set of lads!
Needs wheel arche covers or someone's gonna get noodled through the gaps around the rear wheels. Needs a padded post about waist high you can lean against when breaking. Beyond that, the contraption is perfect. I'd call this Super Moto Surfing.
Muad'Dib Muad'Dib! Muad'Dib!
so awesome. dune irl.
could make it motor actuated, so you can use 2 rods like in dune, to control the steering ;)
A leaning post like on fishing boats will give lots of stability. And, it won't take away from the cool looks.
This is so beautiful - it made my day - you did an absolut great job!!! I like that you bring even crazy ideas to life! 🥰

This needs to be a competitive sport ASAP.
I always enjoy garage 54 videos
All l can say l am super impressed this most insane motorised device you have ever made and how the motorised long board works
Brilliant. And it looks so good.
I'll bet these young fellas think they're the luckiest men alive. Just making fun things all day.
Using some type of a progressive shock, so the harder you try turning the more resistance there is a progressive setup might help fix the you are talking about.
Make an electric version for more torque 👍 Also thinner wheels might help with weight and more movement. Also a kill switch to stop it from rolling forward if / when u fall off like those cables on a treadmill :D
Just... just.... wow! What a dangerous contraption of joy this is.
What a lovely way to get around the ‘NO SKATEBOARDING’ signs!🤪
Edit: what a great build! Go ahead and make more of this!🤪
Very nice work. I was thinking you could add truck bed spray liner to add grip and it would look like grip tape.
that's awesome!
Awesome! Add a gyroscope to keep the balance and stability
This what we call a grown skate board 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Some better gearing and maybe a belt with some cables to front and back of the board(for help dealing with acceleration and braking) I’d say you have a very marketable concept.
Edit: maybe just one cable from a belt on the rider’s waist with one cable from the back end of the board instead of two. With one from the back you can lean hard into acceleration and be safe of any sudden stops. Maybe a safety lanyard which will give if there is a sudden stop.

You guys are amazing Everytime I watch a new episode I am truly amazed
