I remember my late father tell us how happy he was to see me and my younger brother just hanging out together. Many years later, now that I'm a dad, I understand what my dad was saying. I LOVE hearing that my kids hang out together and just enjoy each other's company. I'm sure your parents feel the same way. 😁
I'm so glad you guys were still able to build this despite waiting 2 months for a new battery, your guys dedication to these projects is mind blowing. Your channel will hit 1 million subscribers soon, just wait. 🤯
I think this is what makes your channel unique you have definitely found your niche building cool things that no one would ever think to build and then doubling how cool it is !! I’m a subscriber since 40,000 and I’ll always support your crazy adventures!
Wow yeah! No one has ever, ever thought of building a really fast electric scooter before! So crazy! They should try building a fast ELECTRIC car next. No one had ever thought of those either.
Dang! You guys think of something and you put everything you have into to it and never give up! Keep up that mindset guys, very healthy and very entertaining!
Man I love you guys, your videos are so inspiring and powerful, that ending song is such a banger too!!! I probably watched the bus one 4 times and the skateboard one 3 times and I'll be watching this again for sure
Awesome video. I've been commuting daily with an electric scooter since october and i love it. It goes 30 mph and gets ~35 miles of range on a single charge which is perfect for daily commuting in my city that never rains or snows. But I always wanna go faster and hate being bottle necked by the 30 mile range so ive been looking at hyper scooters non stop. Theyre so expensive.
U guys are nuts & I like it,I have a e- unicycle & just bought 2 more e- boards ,had a scooter & motor went on 1st ride ,they tried fixin it BUT I sent it back
thing i love most of all is no matter the setbacks you guys kept going, not only did you keep going but you guys improved it each and every setback. awesome content and a new sub from me!
i was watching this on my phone and needed to come login in and drop you a like and comment. @6:31 the fact you boys stayed commited means the world, even tho you both didnt have the money.
I used to make those batteries from scratch what you'll need is nickel plate, spot welder, heat shrink for batteries and wires, BMS(batter management system and the batteries themselves. Took me about a day to complete a battery pack
It's 3am and I'm about to watch and like every video you've posted. Please don't stop, not only that you motivate people with it but also that you show everything that goes with it, whether good or bad. What I would still be interested in would be the total cost of each project. Keep up the good work!
I've been a tremendous subscriber to your channel since the phenomenal toilet paper rope! Your content is fantastic, your family is incredible, and you make my day great again! 🇺🇸 Thank you!
When your first battery exploded, there is a very high likelihood that only a small fraction of the individual battery cells inside suffered damage. you could have bought a new BMS protection board and rebuilt it for significantly less than buying a new battery. Cool video and amazing build!!👍🛴
BMS only protects when charging/discharging and balances the cells when charging. That was thermal runaway, caused by shitty Chinese cells from China - 'UnitPackPower' is notorious for exploding batteries.
Hell of a job guys. Thanks for the video. This is a theme that pro scooter manufacturers should be striving for. I enjoy some suspension myself, but the most important thing that manufactures miss is the size of the wheels. LOSE those tiny wheels. Just lose them. These are not a kids kick scooter. If you're going to build a scooter that runs at high speeds, you need stability. Bicycles and motorcycles have better stability because they have much larger, heavier wheels. This allows a tremendous amount of centrifugal force to be built up, stabilizing the machine. Lose those 10 and 11 inch wheels and go for at least 15 inch or so. You guys did a hell of a job here. Thank you again for the video.
You should have lengthened the handlebars and built a deck with the battery and controller underneath that way the battery won't die if you hit a pothole or puddle I just built a razor dirtbike 2kw and 48v I got my Honda plastics coming in today for it You guys are definitely an inspiration, my next projects are a house pontoon boat and remodeling a travel trailer/5th wheel
I built a scooter just like this...same color and probably same motor. Different controller. I know exactly how you felt when your battery exploded. In my case it was the motor that malfunctioned. It can be expensive but sometimes the reward at the end is worth it.
for reference everyone since this guy does not post a parts list to gatekeep easy projects the motor is a MY1020 motor most likely the 1800w or 2000w version. the controller is a KELLY KVD7215N the battery is likely 72v nominal unsure if he got 2 36 and ran series or 2x 72v and ran parallel. all this is attainable for under $1000 bought seperately and can be used in most anything its very easy to setup and is mostly plug and play. for example i have this exact setup in my powerwheels dont think this is grand and extravagant to where you cant do this, ANYONE can do this. its cool and fun dont get me wrong but its alot easier than made seem
i rarely click the like button on videos, but i liked this one just because i hope it gives just even a little amount of money to you guys so you can keep making these amazing videos. And everyone should do the same
you should click the like button on any video that you enjoy. It's not asking much, and people put a lot of work into videos for you to just freeload and not even help them out by clicking your mouse, that's just rude
This was incredible to watch and I love all of your videos, but as soon as you pulled out the first battery and showed it was from Amazon, I was almost certain there was going to be a fire. I'm an engineer and do a ton of work with electric vehicles and you basically have two options for lithium batteries for large custom projects: put a ton of hours into learning how to build them yourself using quality cells and components, or shell out the extra cash and get something custom made like you did in the end. Anything else is a gamble, especially Chinese packs from Amazon. You blamed the issue on the motor controller, and technically proper settings on the motor controller COULD have prevented the battery pack from exploding, but so should the pack itself. The listing on Amazon clearly states that the pack has a BMS Board, something that would have prevented a (presumably) over-discharge related fire. In this case though, it clearly failed. Sorry if this is seen as unsolicited advice, you're crazy smart but I'd hate to see you waste more money on videos through mistakes like this.
Relative to their cost? Suspension, water proofing, better controllers, user controls, dual in-wheel motors that can handle the load/heat and shipping.
The Dude Scooter. The creators are too broke to even buy another battery. Needed 2 months of hard work at McDonald's to get the dow. Yeah...American dude ingenuity at it's best...dude. Next you guys should build a Dude Rocket and go for the Moon mission! Then you can keep saying "dude" while weightless!
Facts in video major cap. 0% chance you get like 60 miles of range let alone 100. And also 0% chance you hit 60 mph with only 5kw, didnt show pics, didnt happen.
And this is why folks, you go with smart controllers like vesc that has gazillion temp/current sensors and insane amount of parameters to set so you dont burn your battery or controller or motor, still, great build. Now build electric unicycle.
My heart sunk when i saw the battery smoking. I always wanted to attempt these types of projects but can't afford 2 batteries if something goes wrong. Awesome build! Suspension next?
At 60mph leathers are a must. I heard that bone grinds down 1mm a second at 60mph. So no matter what at that speed without protection your body will get hurt a lot. Impact protection only goes so far.
User: Wow, this Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series sounds amazing! I've been looking for a reliable power backup solution for our family camping trips. Can you share your thoughts on its durability and performance?Response: Absolutely! The Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series is built tough with a mecha design and a magnesium alloy shell, providing excellent durability. It has a massive capacity of up to 5kWh and can deliver powerful output for all your devices and appliances. With its fast recharging and comprehensive protections, it's a reliable choice for your family camping needs. Happy camping!
The discolouration around your welds suggests there was too much heat. Probably fine for this purpose, but it will reduce the strength of the steel. Your should reduce the ampage
9:09 to be honest motorcycle protective gear would be better here. I know it is not as cheap as the solution you got for knees and elbows, but would protect way better.
I'd love to see this turned into a recumbent MONSTER! Recumbants are way more aerodynamic, I could see you getting significantly more out of that little motor. Cool build.
i've wondered, for the hyper scooters, why they havent made an all carbon fiber one yet, that has some aero in the front you can kind of crouch behind to gain more speed from!
With all the protections you wear and the really cool things you build, get a chest protector! Good investment! Inexpensive too! Love your content thank u for your time!
Bro, that was wicked fast. If I can do what you guys did, my four wheeler scooter in the future will go 200mph faster like NASCAR’s speed. But I still go by the speed limit.
You are already a carpenter and now you have become a mechanic, amazing
surprisingly always have been cause they made a drivable krusty krab car that was highway legal
And a plumber technically 😂
True
👍🏾
Nah. The other people do all the work. He just acts here and there for the camera
I'm starting to guess that Chay has a lot of blue paint leftover from the bus project and he's building awesome things just to use it 😂
Honestly, I think it looked better with a blue frame wooden step on, and metal bodywork
Geil
imagine delivering pizza on this puppy
CHAY YOUR VIDEOS ARE INCREDIBLE!!! Always an exciting watch, seeing you build something from scratch. You deserve at least a million subs!!!

Absolute 🔥🔥🔥Keep it up Chay
Loved that you kept in the difficult parts of completing this build. Awesome video!
Video ideas:
1. Turn a battery powered kiddy car into a fast car
2. Create a vehicle that can pull 2-3 cars like a train
3. Create a river boat
you guys always work so hard and make the coolest things I've ever seen
...should have anchor tabs for a seat structure... and needs a license plate holder
your videos are cool man. Thanks for making my day again 🤟

the fact he can bring this on the streets and dodge traffic is crazy
When your first battery exploded, there is a very high likelihood that only a small fraction of the individual battery cells inside suffered damage. you could have bought a new BMS protection board and rebuilt it for significantly less than buying a new battery. Cool video and amazing build!!👍🛴
Playing around with this battery is dangerous you have to know what to do and have the right tools
BMS only protects when charging/discharging and balances the cells when charging. That was thermal runaway, caused by shitty Chinese cells from China - 'UnitPackPower' is notorious for exploding batteries.

Ah Love these guys
for reference everyone since this guy does not post a parts list to gatekeep easy projects
the motor is a MY1020 motor most likely the 1800w or 2000w version.
the controller is a KELLY KVD7215N
the battery is likely 72v nominal unsure if he got 2 36 and ran series or 2x 72v and ran parallel.
all this is attainable for under $1000 bought seperately and can be used in most anything its very easy to setup and is mostly plug and play.
for example i have this exact setup in my powerwheels
dont think this is grand and extravagant to where you cant do this, ANYONE can do this. its cool and fun dont get me wrong but its alot easier than made seem
awesome man, imagine what your neighbors are thinking and if the police gave you guys a ticket for speeding on a freaking scooter
Starting to think blue is Chay's favorite color
You guys are so awesome. I cant stop watching your videos😍😍

Just saw your page today for the first time. Awesome work you guys. You’re gonna be rocking a mil subscribers soon with stuff like this!!
amazing job chay great work
I wonder what the total cost was.
Now I’m wondering how an electric hyper scooter cost more than a mini camper
I had the same idea in mind
THE BATTERIES!! TRUTH
Relative to their cost? Suspension, water proofing, better controllers, user controls, dual in-wheel motors that can handle the load/heat and shipping.
Awesome build, I am glad you were able to rebuild it after the battery caught fire.

Hi
The Dude Scooter. The creators are too broke to even buy another battery. Needed 2 months of hard work at McDonald's to get the dow. Yeah...American dude ingenuity at it's best...dude. Next you guys should build a Dude Rocket and go for the Moon mission! Then you can keep saying "dude" while weightless!
Quite sure if you had less air drag that scooter would go even faster. Wonderful build :)
Of all the mechanical creators I watch. Tom Stanton, Peter Sripol etc this one definitely has the best sound track.
YALL SHOULD MAKE A SCOOTER COMPANY
God ide
2k per scooter
Facts in video major cap. 0% chance you get like 60 miles of range let alone 100. And also 0% chance you hit 60 mph with only 5kw, didnt show pics, didnt happen.
This clown ☝️
my 3 kw commercial electric scooter can hit 90km/h and gives 100 km range the name is ola S1x+ (Indian brand)
What i wanted to say is that that thing can easily do what he claims
Also you probably don't know shit about electric vehicles
They used a 1800w motor and said it was a 7kw bike motors peak is probably 2500w (but still good video)
I’d so love to get my hands on that beauty. It would be such a relief riding it here in India
And this is why folks, you go with smart controllers like vesc that has gazillion temp/current sensors and insane amount of parameters to set so you dont burn your battery or controller or motor, still, great build. Now build electric unicycle.
I am loving it!
Amazing I expected every failure and they all happened 😂 but you're perseverance kept you going well done.
Build high power e-bike for next!! You're amazing dudee
I loved this one a lot!!! Great job and love the music choice!!
From skateboard to scooter, They are *this* close to making an actual motorcycle 😂❤
My heart sunk when i saw the battery smoking. I always wanted to attempt these types of projects but can't afford 2 batteries if something goes wrong. Awesome build! Suspension next?
crazy how far we advanced and this isnt even the craziest tech yet
Chay you did good the fact you put that much effort is amazing 👏 😊
