Making things that go fast and make you look is just a part of it. If it inspires you to have your own vision and to make something that you love your own, that is everything ❤️ go you 🚀
😊Right on. Even I made my own scooter as well. I'm another one that's part of it. Does feel good to ride something that you made yourself. I'm thinking about putting on pinterest. I'm gonna see how it goes.
Randy looks like a superhero when he rides the GOBLIN!!!
💪🏻🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎🤓😎👍🏻
For sure, he's having a ton of fun on it, and that's what matters.
For those who want to see the secrets of the Goblin, this is for you. Also quick teaser, Randy and I are working on a few projects that are going to blow your mind. Subscribe so you don't miss them!
🤗
Thanks for sharing this!!! Check out my new ride 🛴 would love to collaborate
The goblin has some awesome things that I can't explain xD
Can’t wait to see what you guys have going on together! 👌
Great video man, thanks for this one :D
So much thought and creativity! Mad respect! Artists and creative types understand and have an appreciation for what this man has built! 🙂👍
For sure, this is essentially a work of art on wheels. Most creative person I've met.
The video the PEV world has been waiting for!! Such an awesome collaboration between Randy and Alien Rides!!
Thanks Justin! 👊
This is by far the most dangerous electric vehicle I've ever seen. Dude needs to find someone with a welder and make a proper frame, JB weld should NEVER be structural.
Hah, yeah it's not the most well engineered, but it certainly is creative. We'll weld a second version soon.
Facts!!!!!
I agree forget those c clamps.Jerry rigged.
Don't forget about those wire nuts lol .
Yeahhhh,the video I was waiting for, what a treat, thanks buddy. There's always a bigger and better creativity.
Glad we were finally able to release this! Bigger and crazier things coming up next.
Loved this video. It’s so thorough and you could see the commentary as he went through all aspects of his scooter. This was awesome!
Thanks for stopping by! It's definitely not a video for everyone, but glad we could make it for those who appreciate the work of art this man has made.
The aspect I would like to see is his workshop, I reckon there is a pile of parts and electrical wiring hiding there!
Cleanest build ever,keep them coming 😊
Randy is a genius! I feel how he enjoy his work.
For sure, he is super passionate about building awesome things. 👽🖖
I love this machine. The fact that it can tow makes it even cooler.
It's an awesome machine for sure, glad we could do a video on it! 👽🖖
Thank you for making this video, that Goblin is even crazyer than I thought .
Thanks for stopping by. Thrilled we were able to make this video on the goblin! 👽🖖
Man this is right up my alley! Awesome job. I built one, but with all the new tech available I really want to build a new one from scratch now....
Nothing like building something for yourself. I'd love to see what you come up with! 👽🖖
More videos about scooters tuning and customisations please. You are the best.
You got it, definitely going to be doing more of that in the future.
Check out my ridiculous scooter th-cam.com/video/ViZZ0npJKg4/w-d-xo.html
Your profile pick is offensive
I love the goblin 😎👍🏼
Goblin loves you too! 👽🖖
I was literally just thinking up some plans for a custom scooter build, and then this came up
Hopefully this inspires you to do something awesome as well!
The monster, thank you for this video
Thanks for stopping by! 👽🖖
This guy's absolutely nuts! I love it!
Super creative individual for sure! 👽🖖
@@AlienRides The Goblin scooter describing Green Goblin from Spider-Man.
The Goblin is so sick, I’d love to ride that thing
finally !!! it's been a while I know this beast.... great
Glad we could finally release a full video on the build! 👽🖖
The guys a crazy genius, that’s some ride he’s built. It must have a piece of everything ever made!
I see his leg is strapped up, he must have had a real heavy-duty fall?
Yup, he’s a mad scientist for sure. I think one day he did have a fall with his scooter but he won’t let it stop him.
Ok I knew it couldn't just be me. That thing is crazy, Love it.
Definitely not you, the genius of the Goblin has captured the hearts of everyone and we hope it inspires the world. 👽🖖
The video I was waiting for! Thanks man
Glad we could deliver it and hope it inspires people to build something awesome! 👽🖖
Thing is a BEAST
It really is, one of the best scooters out there! 👽🖖
I used to look for electric scooters like the Dualtron eagle pro but now I’m looking at an electric bike with a Bafang ultra top speed 40mph! Bitrix Juggernaut ultra and Volton tracker. You should look at them and try to review one!?!?
Just Doin Josh for sure. Ebikes look really fun, I’d love to get one and review it in the future!
You totally should there pretty rad and the ones with the throttles can hit 30mph+
Its very inspiring that you actually took the time to build this machine. You may end up becoming the next scooter Brand in the future.
Yeah, it's awesome to see the result of a long term passion project like this. 👽🖖
Awesome creation.. Definately one of a kind.. Ingenious 👌
Definitely, awesome being able to do a video on this one of a kind creation. 👽🖖
Thank You for letting me know about this requested build video. It's good to know you listen to your viewers and give us what we want. For me, the keywords were QS Motor, and Sabvoton Motor Controller. Since I started building custom scooters in 1999 I'm officially old school, but I have made some incredible things along the way. I started building dual motor (BMC MAC 600's) Currie Scooters then Dual Motor (800 Watt X 2) Rad2Go scooters, then it got crazy with E-tec Motor and Alltrax controller on full custom chassis scooters. Mostly intended for blistering acceleration and wheelies. By this time I started ScooterFaster LLC in Phoenix and shortly after that the Phoenix City Council banned all scooters. ScooterFaster took a turn when I bought a bunch of Panterra electric scooter parts at auction in California. Business was good, but the "Vespa style" motorcycle scooter never gave me the riding thrill of a stand-up scooter. ScooterFaster closed in 2011, but I still have plenty of parts to make a nice stand up but they are still illegal here. I would love to visit your store some day and meet all the famous builders from the SF area. The new scooters blow me away, the dualtron has way more top speed than I can believe they sell to the public, crazy! Thanks again.
Awesome story, you were ahead of your time for sure. Definitely give me a hollar if you're ever in SF after this Covid mess id over, we can go on a scooter tour.
@@AlienRides Thank you so much for that, and when the air is clear (Re: Covid19) I can assure you I'll come visit.
While I used to have pallet's of 20 Ahr SLA batteries in stock, I'll need a battery sponsor to have anywhere near the range you guys like to run. Short of that, I could have a couple scooters up and running in no time. Or, maybe I could just build something that didn't need a 400 Amp controller cranked up to the max. lol
Love this content bro! This thing is true 👽👽👽... love projects like this. Your channel has been the main inspiration for my own simple build 💯💯💯 it's videos like this that truly inspire me... Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by. Inspiring people to build crazy stuff is what we're all about. Keep going. 👽🖖
Awesome episode dude, that thing is crazy cool
Thanks! The goblin is one of a kind for sure! 👽🖖
Incredible build. Great vid as always.
Thanks for stopping by, glad we could show the world the Goblin! 👽🖖
Too Mad Max for me... I'll still keep dreaming of the Dualtron Storm
For sure, it's not for everyone and that's ok. Dualtron Storm looks awesome, excited to make some videos on that one later this year.
Yes... A new Dualtron X called X2. The second version of the Mighty Beast. 🤪
@Valerio Frego : This is from the European site... dualtron-shop.com/product/dualtron-x-2-2020/
@Valerio Frego : Do you have an escooter ?.. I have a 10 week old Dualtron Mini : which some people round here, are not sure of it's identity. One women asked me, what is it ? She thought it was an hoverboard ! 😃 😄 😁 😆 😅 😂 🤣
@Valerio Frego : Yes, most of the scooters I see are cheap Chinese copies of Xiaomi 365's. The best scooters I have seen on my travels, was 2 dual motor, but cheap Kugoo's, (£800 or so). While looking for a T8, this is what I found... www.madatshop.com/product/langfeite-t8-1200wx2-dual-motor-26ah-11inch-folding-electric-scooter-top-speed-70-km-h-max-load-150kg-double-brake-system-eu-plug/ Is that what you have ?
Hi Alien Rides. Last week I mentioned I was inspired by the Goblin build and I went ahead and worked on my busted No Brand scooter that's a mix between Uberscoot and Evo. After replacing all 15 Mosfets on the control board, it blew up when energized. LOL..So, I went ahead and cut all the wires, which was something I did Not want to do, and installed a spare control board. Well, Voila..the damned this started working after watching a plethora of videos on TH-cam and finally got it Right after a whole Friggin year. Now I can do my weekly beer runs, man. I subscribed and having a blast watching you have crazy azz fun. Cheers, man.
Eugene
That’s awesome, changing out a controller is no easy task! I’m glad to hear your scooter is working. Nice job! 👏
@@AlienRides Thank you for responding so quick. Man, I sure miss my ride especially my motorcycle. Cheers...
Eugene
This is awesome great video!!
Thanks for stopping by, I love the passion behind the project!
One of the best electric scooter video ever! I had to watch the video many many times.
Thanks for stopping by 👽🖖
@@AlienRides Your welcome and keep them video coming!
Yes, More goblin please.
We'll definitely do more of that, along with other even crazier inventions 👽🖖
Thanks for the video! It is great to get this perspective. I have had the honor to ride a few times now with the Goblin and it is a beast and such a striking e-scooter. Hopefully once we ride again I can take some high speed chasing shots with my quadcopter. I only had my 5" quadcopter on this past ride so I wanted to keep a safe distance from folks. It was also crazy windy. However, I just finished a more people friendly chase quad with prop guards so I can fly through the crowd really low without fear of injury. Looking forward to the upcoming projects.
Sweet, let's go out and get some drone chase footage soon!
Have any good locations in mind for doing an electric scooter chase? Hard to find roads without people and cars on to ride. Maybe we need to rent a race track.
@@AlienRides Sadly I am not aware of a big enough open space. I had a hard time finding a place where I could run my 100MPH remote control car as it needs a lot of distance. Lack of road space is a big reason I love racequads as you can just go all out in the air :)
I remember in one of your videos you were in a big open parking lot. I think you had a Lambo running around in there.
Where was that shot?
Robert Fontanosa Yeah that’s a fun spot down the penninsula a bit, we can head there and film sometime 😁
@@AlienRides Not sure YT will let me know share another link but here is some footage of me chasing remote control planes: th-cam.com/video/vxVHl5wi8MI/w-d-xo.html
One of my top E-transportation reviewer!!!! Still waiting on that seat configuration video for the dualtran!
Thanks for stopping by, and the request. I'll have to work on a supplier for something to do the seat video with, but hopefully we can do that soon.
@@AlienRides From your personal experience why do riders not take advantage of the seat for extra comfort? Is it because due to balancing issues? or is it less practical ?!
Moe Hadla I think the seat is definitely more comfortable, but in most cases impacts folding. I think the benefit is not worth the effort for people to attach and detach the seat when needing to fold their scooters, to take it on a bus or car or whatever. That’s just a guess though.
That looks insane!
It's definitely the most insane scooter I've seen! 👽🖖
Actually a video I'm genuinely interested in!
Thanks for stopping by! 👽🖖
😁The new original X-Treme Goblin. Brilliant job.
It's an awesome ride for sure, love riding with the goblin! 👽🖖
At 11:03 wowwww look out with power wires... Jesus!!! 😱 Drone almost hit those wires, that was really really close! 😳😳😳
Yeah that was pretty crazy. It was actually from a longer shoot we did a while back: th-cam.com/video/qJHeYiRyFeQ/w-d-xo.html
Love alien rider❤️
He loves you too 👽🖖
Good alternative to “too many washers” are little pipes you slide over the tube. Big long washer
Spacers? I think that would look too clean for this project. 👽🖖
Wow Randy is the man! I have 1 quick suggestion for him which should be easy for him to improve that thing: get rid of them G clamps in the middle of that thing! Replace them with a steel plate held in place with two 10mm bolts which you can quickly remove when you need to by using a battery drill with socket attachment. Them G clamps sticking up like that are dangerous! And doesn’t look cool either. Other than that one thing, I love this machine! What a BEAST!
For sure, I can think of about a million things that might work better than the C-clamps, but not sure they would have the "goblin feel" to it 😅 I'll make sure he sees your comment!
really loved this thing... grt efforts man. Gonna build mine soon...
Can't wait to see what you build! 👽🖖
That is super dope. I love the trailer.
Yeah it's an awesome build for sure and really shows what one can do with enough passion! 👽🖖
I just wish it wasn't such a hack job. Very cool idea
It's definitely a work of passion!
Watch the video... Basically he says it's a prototype of what he wants it to be in the end.
This is not the end product.
👍 for your effort. Well done. I like that scooter very much.
Thanks for stopping by, it's a crazy creation for sure.
One of the scooter companies need to hire this guy
They would make some pretty awesome scooters with this inspiration.👽🖖
Definitely a monster build! I hope to build something similar!
Hope you can, there's nothing like building your own beast! 👽🖖
Amazing, could be nice to see step by step how to build this kind of scooter!!
We did what we could do to describe it, maybe we can do a full build in a future video! 👽🖖
lol literally I was thinking about this vehicle yesterday
We know and that's the reason we released this video today! 😅
This dude does not blink
Blinks are for humans 🤖
C'est vraiment une machine incroyable, surtout lorsque l'on voit le scooter de départ .... ! Bravo, merci de nous donner autant d’inspiration, maximum respecte Monsieur ...!!! ;-)
Thank you for the support! 👋🇫🇷
U need a GPR stabilizer/damper, it has a radial arm and mounts central so its out of the way.
Awesome Scooter!
I've Snowboard since 30+ Years here in Switzerland and every time i ride a Scooter i want to duplicate that feeling, so i totally get you in that regard ;)
I've ridden the Goblin a few times now and it totally does get you into that carvy feeling. It's awesome!
@@AlienRides i envy you ;)
Thank you for that in-depth Interview and again, Randy, amazing work! :)
AMAZING!!!
He did a great job on this for sure. 👽🖖
The Frankenstein Scooter...... It's Alive!... Alive I tell you!!!!! 😜😎
It's totally a Frankenstein scooter, and I love it! 👽🖖
Hello from Russia! Frankenstein
, monster electric scooter!
Yes it is!!! 👽🖖
Great vid! When I first caught a glimpse of the Goblin in a group ride clip, I thought WTF is that?!! I suspected it was a custom fabricated machine, so it was great to have Randy explain about it. I'm guessing he works in IT as I did? Not many people would just grab server power cables. The big power connectors are usually used for electric Fork Lifts and other high current applications, so certainly up to the task. I suspect there's a similar audio background there too as Randy just happened to have an amplifier case handy! I love this sort of mechanical creativity and did similar stuff when I was racing a 250cc water-cooled, 2 stroke grass kart. Fitted a programable ignition system and designed a flat shift gear lever. Would rip through gears at full throttle with front wheels in the air! Just got into scooters 6 months ago and about to upgrade my WideWheel dual to a Mantis Duo after watching so many reviews on this channel. Cheers heaps for this one!
Yeah, sounds like you and Randy might share a similar background! I think the mantis will be a really nice upgrade over the WideWheel, you're going to love it!
Good ole JB weld! Send it!
Hah, he made it work for sure!
Wow that awesome. I gotta question for u if u don't mind. I have 36v lead acid battery scooter and I want to changeit to a lithium. Do I need to change the controller also?. Ty
You may be able to use the same contoller if you use the same voltage lithium battery, but there is a chance it won't work. I guess you'll need to try to see.
Now I know what happened to the cut content in Cyberpunk 2077 😜
Hah, I can't believe they didn't use this scooter in the game!
dude get yourself a cheap welder and an angle grinder and all this would be so much easier your possibilities would really open up. very cool though. thanks for uploading the video.
Hah, funny you should say that, I've actually got both an angle grinder and welder on the way for some crazy projects in the future. We've got some plans that will make this thing look pretty tame 😁
@@AlienRides cant wait
Really can't wait till his done..
thank you for the video.
Thanks for stopping by!
Bad ass!!!
Totally agree! 👽🖖
I'm rockin a sevcon gen4 size6
W/ motenergy1616.
Either scooter or mobility scooter build.
Any suggs on programming/dongle?
I'm not super familiar with these components so I'm not really sure, but let's see if anyone knows.
He should take the Honda ruckus body and modified it to an electric scooter 🤘🏽🤘🏽
That would be a sick project for sure, maybe we can do that in the future!
update on the bajaboard project. i went back over my 10s12p battery and realized i made a wiring error on the BMS, i fixed the wire connection and location for power and now everything works, so far.
with all the new extra cables and i cant use the stock deck lid because all the extra wires and cables wont allow it. so now im planing on building my own custom deck lid and hollowing out the insides to make room for all the extra cables and BMS.
THEN i can finally take it for a test ride.
im always happy to see more custom build interviews like this in depth just to pick at the owners mind to see what solutions they came up with for various problems
That sounds awesome! I’ll be looking forward to seeing that beast alive! Consider doing a video once it’s rolling. 👽🖖
Would you be willing to share the BOM of parts? I would like to build something similar and your advice could save me some trouble and time. Thanks!
I'll have to chat with Randy to see if he has time to put that together. I hope we can. 👽🖖
F'n Awesome Brah!
It's a crazy machine for sure. 👽🖖
This is the Pagani of electric scooters.
Hah, maybe, I think the Rion scooter is closer to that, but this is still cool. th-cam.com/video/Nn-IqhezeZw/w-d-xo.html
You guys are insane in a good way. Amazing. 🚀 Love the tech. Looks a beast. Just the fact you put that monster 👾 together. Yeah I'm up for a challenge build a monster.
Awesome, this video was all about inspiring people to make something crazy. Can't wait to see what you do.
@@AlienRides Thanks I will start with modifying my current one. We are limited by new Law in Spain to 25km thou many have more powerful ones. 😎🚀. Its a E Scooter friendly city Valencia.
I really want to get into building custom scooters. What are the best sites to buy parts on? Just aliexpress?
It's a great and rewarding hobby. Aliexpress is probably the best site for sure. 👽🖖
That is pretty cool
Pretty wild creation for sure 👽🖖
I suggest he build the next Batman bike for Hollywood!
For sure, but batman doesn't need a bike now that he's got this batscooter 😅
Every interesting indeed. A razor turned into a Rat Scooter. Well done genius, I'm impressed.
It's a super impressive build for sure! 👽🖖
mad max would be proud,i could do part at my shop
I would love to see what you could make in your shop.
@@AlienRides the only problem am in canada,but we can lazer cut ,bend ,weld
I have the same lights on my wolf king gt but also have two extra small ones on each side of the main centre one. If u want to light up Ur entire neighbour hood.
Job well done
Hah, that's awesome. Ride safe! 👽🖖
Genius invention for the next future machine
He's a genius inventor for sure, we've got some awesome projects planned, can't wait to show you what's next. 👽🖖
BadAss for sure
I agree, I love the creativity 👽🖖
Very cool scooter, I think yours is just a little faster than mine!
He did a great job building this beast.
This is a piece of art for sure. I'm just wondering the feeling when you are driving with few bomb
The whole thing may be a ticking time bomb, but it is super fun to ride.
Need to know wich 12 inch or 13inch the rear bldc hub.
It's a qs motor, 12" I believe.
Thank you @@AlienRides
I modelled my scooter after his, eventually I want to copy his exact build.
Nice, good luck with your build!! 👽🖖
Can’t wait to see what you build! Paste a link back here when you do 👌
Design 🚀, in the future, smth flying.. 😎 Cool 🍀
Thanks for stopping by to see the Goblin! 👽🖖
GIB MOAR GOBLIN
Quit gobbin’ around
That's crazy the floor machine that I use at my school has those connectors
Hah yeah, they are quite beefy connectors 👽🖖
Is there any update on the goblin? Also does randy have a yourube channel or Instagram to follow and see how the build is going.
Awesome👍
Thanks! 👽🖖
All it needs now to complete is Flux Capacitor and Mr Fusion job done! 😂😂😂
Yup, that's definitely the next mod! 👽🖖
So If I want an external battery. Its ok if the Ah do not match, as long as the voltage of the battery does?
I believe generally this is ok, but you might need to charge the batteries separately.
@@AlienRides thank you
Dat ride stance tho.... 🤘🤠
Randy looks amazing when he rides! 🛴💨💨
@@AlienRides Randy looks like a superhero when he rides. I love it! I'm all about the stance....lol🤠👍
that's a sick scooter, if I may!
He did a great job building it for sure. 👽🖖
Awesome machine you got there. I just ordered a Fieabor 60V 32AH 5600W dual motor. Any suggestions for a first time rider?
Sounds like a pretty nice beast of a scooter. I'd say double check all of the bolts when you get it to make sure they're all tight. Wear a helmet, and have a good time!
@@AlienRides Thanks bro! I weigh 250lbs how fast do you think this can go holding my weight?
@@davidjas2378 If it's truly a 5600 watt motor then it should be able to get close to 50 mph or so. Take your time getting it up to that speed though, takes some time learning how to ride at that speed without wobble.
@@AlienRides willl do, definitely not looking to crash n burn. Thanks!
The big tire at the rear means it travels faster ?
Covers more ground quicker !
Wow man, what an awesome build!
40% Jank, 60% Insanity.
The perfect combination man, your build is unlike anything I’ve seen anywhere else man, be proud knowing you inspired me to go even further the first time I saw it!
Your angle for rake is the only one that I’ve seen that makes any shred of sense. Well done getting that steering geometry dialed in like that!
The trailer build is amazing too man, now you’ve got a hybrid system! Electrically powered and refuelled by petrol/diesel/gas.
What’s the reasoning for the larger voltage pack in the trailer vs the Goblin itself? Running sneaky series? 😈
Wow man, a QS motor aye, not too bad at all and 190ft-lb is no joke, sounds about on par with some of spinningmagnets builds. The thermal density must be such a lifesaver on that motor, I bet you could double your voltage before you start seeing any kinds of issues with it!
Genuinely impressed with the build and I’m super keen to follow along the way! Surprised you only went with a 150amp capable sabvoton for that motor, surely it wants the 600amp ones?
Thanks for this video guys, the Goblin has been plaguing my dreams lately 😂
Awesome observations as always, and I'm glad we were able to give folks some more information on this build. Tons more planned and I'll make sure Randy sees your comment. Good luck with your build! 👽🖖
Alien Rides thanks for that man, I really appreciate it :D
Latest project has me running at 60km/h with only a 12v booster. It’s not even getting warm and it’s finally got about 40nm of torque to it.
Next step is to see how far I can actually push the stock controllers before new stuff comes in 😂
(Ps the unit I’m working with right now is just a basic commuter model, destroyed the motor on the GTR and I’m waiting on a replacement)
Super Cool. Would like to built one in my bleeding home country of Lebanon
It is an awesome machine that has sparked many ideas in people. Would love to see what you can come up with.
was the knee brace before or after the goblin scooter?
Hah, probably caused by some scooter, worth it though.
