@Joachim Shekelberg Yeah, but that's a peak human male, like an Olympian, and only for short bursts. 100W is an okay constant output for an average person.
Moving it was easier than I thought. You can make your own pedal car: 1- fiberglass body is enough 2- four pedal sets, for a four-passenger car, one set per passenger 3- hand brake used in addition to back-pedaling for deceleration 4- solar panels to charge batteries for horn, lights and turn signals.
@@svelobikes9049 might be getting outside the spirit of this whole thing lol I think the 4 passenger idea is great tho... Extra power to weight ratio never hurts... With 4 pedaling, chroma key car there should fly lol
Funny thing is that muscle power is 5 to 6 times less efficient than an internal combustion engine per kWh. When you then factor in the pollution associated with food production and transport, you'll end up with a car that is around 4 times more polluting and costs 8 times as much to run.
I had buddy back in the day make a yugo convertible and install Hydraulics this thing would jump straight up in the air about 4 feet, i thought i saw it, until just now. Lol
@@topkek7003 no thats just how a bicycle works just to move. Has nothing to do with speed unless you are specificing gear ratio which you wasnt. Dont quite understand what you mean though.
@@ReformedThe yes, because you need a balance. Bicycles have big tires, so you need to change gearing ratios because the bigger the tire, the higher the top speed
You remind me of my grandfather when I was a kid in north carolina.. he would build things and use all sorts of stuff to cobble other things up. Made me a bike out of 2 old ones from the 50s.. especially with the old shop vlad has in these episodes. I learned most of my understanding of engineering from him, and now I'm hooked on garage 54.. no safety mad environment. Just putting great ideas to the test. Happy new year to everyone that brings us garage 54!
Yes. Like commercial pedal cars, the more ppl pedaling, the easier, or faster. When my manual diesel wouldn't start, I was always glad to have my friend with me to push start it as my human starter! XD Needs that gear shifter, tighter chain, so not noisey, brakes... And a small motor for hills.... Lol
Stuff like this is what the garage is really doing when they say your repairs are taking a bit longer than expected... Btw, gotta respect the fact that on top of pedaling a car, his seat is a used tire! Love all you do man!
STRODE GAMING this guys knows exactly what he has in his garage .... Tools, parts ,oils and anything else.... That's just amazing.. His projects are the extra he does with all his knowledge :)
jose ortiz yea its really cool I mean I have a garage with a big ass tool box and shit I'm a technician at a Chevy dealership but this guy is next level
car tires can't support too much pressure though. it would help, but there would still be a lot of rolling resistance (although less than you'd imagine due to the low weight of the system car tires are much more rigid than bike tires after all). anway, it would be better to use actual bike wheels for that effect.
Nice to see it actually works. You've given me a few set-up ideas for my own design too.I'm trying to design a roughly 3/4 scale UK built MG B roadster, two seater pedal car. Pedals on only one side.Not because of rising gas prises, even though it's a nice bonus. But I'm visually impaired, so getting a licence is difficult for me, and even with my 50 cc scooter I can't come out in the dark. So I would love to somehow get a pedal car built to gain more freedom.
André Ribeiro the problem is a lot of alcohol is diluted with water, that’s why I said you need 200 proof alcohol, which is 100% alcohol, it would basically be pouring ethyl alcohol into your care think about 85 but with zero gasoline just pure ethanol
I want to do this kind of stuff too on my channel, among other things, but I've been stuck for years living in my dad's kitchen without any personal space or privacy. I actually have my own GoFundMe up, but hardly anyone has donated.
@@Network126 I'm lucky enough that my dad has a decent (if slightly cramped) workshop and has always encouraged me to have fun in it. Idk what's gonna happen when I move out next year tho. I'll have to find somewhere else to make a mess in.
If you had the same setup on the passenger side you can have a passenger assisted driving which would make it easier in being so nice to see it done with two people at the same time
The chain gear shifter is called a DE RAILER! Love from Chicago. Do you have any crowd funding? Patreon or go fund me? I would love to donate to your station
One fundamental flaw in the concept.... The pedals obviously goes in the PASSENGER footwell (-; Great video, I absolute love your work. Your product is not only immensely entertaining, its very slick and professional.
In the 70s we had a Pedal car that held four adults it was as big as a volks beetle and two peddled up front and two rode in back seats and it was fiberglass. It was so efficient with a three speed shift transmission that toeight-year-olds could get it up to 15 miles an hour adults could go faster. I’ve never seen anything as sleek as what we had It had a sophisticated drive train no cheap bike parts it had axels and drive gears made just for it. I don’t know why no one builds that anymore one person could use it. Had a steering wheel. Today they make similar ones but they are crap with handle bars and $3500. We paid $75 for it used.
Make and model? Should be pretty easy to replicate if there is any plans for it. New business perhaps? Damn hipsters would trow money at you with such green contraption... and be run over by actual cars=win/win?
Same thing mopeds are no longer a thing. You get electric bicycles instead because it's easier not to carry a tin can with you everywhere, easier to park, etc.
STRODE GAMING this guys knows exactly what he has in his garage .... Tools, parts ,oils and anything else.... That's just amazing.. His projects are the extra he does with all his knowledge :)
I love this idea! The possibilities are endless if one can actually power this with human peddling, or an electric bike motor, or even solar :) In fact, if someone were homeless, like me, if the car could be run with an electric bike or solar energy, then a bed could easily be put into the passenger side of that car shell and I'd have a home on wheels.
I built one of these when I was 16. you have the three passengers petal. That way the break is intact. Or relocate the brake pedal. Our final set up had four people pedal. We had to add a chain Oiler.
I think you might just have something there,I'd add those electric motors that assist, if you created some kind of series of gears making it easier to pedal, then having another series of gears to make it move faster, a bicycle gear transmission of sort, on top of that i would convert a ceiling fan motor into a power alternator turning your used power into more power, it's a really neat invention for fun. I love the open mindedness of it.
I live in Sacramento CA, watching this dude, and am like wow, this guy is fulfilling all of his crazy Frankenstein car ideas and fantasies. He Def goes nnnuts with all this stuff, goodness, I never thought one could have antics like these to do...
No he's already made it pedal powered now try something different just for the heck of it that's what this channel is all about trying new and fun stuff Joe Mahmuh

If you fill tire pressure to crazy measures it will roll much easier
Probably right about that. My bike tires are at 120 psi.
5ch3nk but mountain bike and the bike I had call for alot of psi
5ch3nk you must have a road bike, I use my norco wolverine BC series at 45 pounds in Kenda kinetics
car tires can't support too much pressure though. it would help, but there would still be a lot of rolling resistance (although less than you'd imagine due to the low weight of the system car tires are much more rigid than bike tires after all). anway, it would be better to use actual bike wheels for that effect.
Or put hybrid bike tires on
I refer to it as "Russian Top Gear" and now I want a Lada Niva for reasons.
There a Lada car lol....

Russian engineering never ceases to amaze.
Daniel Moukli That's why they had to ditch the Soviet bike chain and get one manufactured in Europe.
And that was supposed to be the golden age of Russian engineering.

make a car run on vodka as fuel
André Ribeiro you’d need 200 proof vodka, basically pure alcohol
Dj Mystery but it can be done ?
André Ribeiro possibly, with the right fuel system
André Ribeiro the problem is a lot of alcohol is diluted with water, that’s why I said you need 200 proof alcohol, which is 100% alcohol, it would basically be pouring ethyl alcohol into your care think about 85 but with zero gasoline just pure ethanol
André Ribeiro and the ethanol in alcohol and gas are the EXACT same
Every vid gets better, the noise it was making was hilarious. You should put a propeller with a motor on the back of that car for the next build.
Silliness aside, the actual engineering on this channel is awesome
you should have used a gear box so the use of the gears could have made the pedal easier
Your neighbours look pretty impressed :)
Wish I could hang out with you guys for a day would be so much fun :)
you can guarantee there is no one being bored with this guy in town he is funny
You need one of those motorized bicycle engine kits
I not only love this, but I have am idea for one now. Thank you! Truly inspiring!
