I broke my thumb using an e-scooter. I had to get 3 pins put into my thumb as my thumb was detached from my hand. I also fractured my elbow but only needed a sling for a couple weeks. Thankfully I didn't hit my head as I was a dumbass with no helmet. That scooter could nearly get up to 50 km/h. Thinking now of how stupid and reckless it was to be going that fast without and protection. Glad when I did fall I was only going around 12 km/h. I haven't rode an e-scooter since and sold mine. There are crazy ones that you can go over 100 km/h or over 60 miles per hour. Stupid. I'll stick to bikes now even though e-scooters are fun to ride but they are just too dangerous.
When he took it out to open roads, i was like “won’t the police pull him over for not having a license plate” then I remembered these lime scooters do have plates, so he was actually driving with 4 license plates. Then I also remembered that this might not be the biggest concern of the police about this vehicle.
@@NyanNinja2007-px2ziyou can’t, but people don’t give a fuck. La had to adapt and reluctantly said fine too it. You won’t get in trouble for riding it in the street since it’s as fast as a bicycle for the bike lane
I started a family, built a business, got divorced, lost my business, went backrupt, became an alcoholic, got clean, remarried, and divorced again before Michael posted another 15-20 minute video.
Dude truly does not care. Impressive. He makes a video once a year, gets millions of views, and yet does nothing to save it from demonetisation. He is my hero.
Unironically peak content right here, and puts the sponsor ad at the end of the video which you don't see very often, and is an appreciated courtesy, thank you Michael
That or all of LA knows of Micheal Reeves presence, and immediately and instinctively flee. Like birds when they feel the slightest bit of change in air pressure before a giant destructive storm hits the town.
Sometimes Michael says things like "Some would call that compensating for my crippling lack of electronics engineering skills using computer programming skills," and I remember the reason I became a fan of him is because he's the realest programmer ever.
"Wait a minute, this thing's remote-controlled" literally fucking jumps off, drives across a road, jumps back in like the madman he is this is the kind of quality content i want from youtube
he's kinda like a short film creator, high quality stuff but you're only getting it like once a year, ofc his stuff aren't plot driven, honestly it'd be rad if something just gave him the budget to make a documentary about some batshit invention

You can modify a wheel chair to make it a leg machine, a wheel chair is too smooth we still want to fill the constant bobbing up and down from walking to if we attach piston to wheel axis and spring balanced, it can go up and down in sync and async to give a more realistic illusion of walking.
Oh my god that fucking music that brought back VISCERAL memories of sneakily playing flash games while the teacher wasn't paying attention Age of War soundtrack is a certified banger too wtf
It actually does make him god on the streets. Absolutely nobody is gonna say, "Wait, that guy in the yellow vest with the sorta old white pickup and an orange light-I don't think he can do that." He can do anything. He can take manhole covers. He can throw a cable onto an electrical line. He can put cones down and direct traffic wherever tf he wants.
You'd be amazed how many things you can do and places you can just walk straight into without question simply by wearing a high-vis jacket, the truck with the orange beacon only adds to the "disguise", because most people's logic starts and ends with "Why the hell would you willingly wear a high-vis if it's not for work/safety purposes?" so most people will almost never question it lmao
Back in my misspent youth as an unsolicited street artist we'd literally take an angle grinder to the locks of access passages in the middle busy streets. It's amazing what you can get away with if you wear a hard hat, a high-vis jacket and put a few traffic cones down, everyone just assumes you're supposed to be doing whatever you're doing. If anyone asks you just say something like "some jackass left the keys in their truck and called in sick, head office says we got a fault that needs checking" while looking like you don't get paid enough for this shit
I’ve been watching TH-camrs make professional looking things for so long forgot how awesome some seriously jank hodgepodge diy stuff that works as designed truly is. Fantastic.
Sometimes it's fun to make shit out of garbage. I modded a record player to play records upside down and it's made almost entirely out of trash. But it works-ish.
The fact Micheal didn’t even partner with Bird or any scooter company so he wouldn’t have to pay to use them just goes to show how far he will go for a cause
Watching every one of his videos back as I do every once in a while, his editing is so underrated man, when you actually pay attention to it you see how skilled he is
Yo i unironically finished my under grad thesis, got 2 big projects for my freelance job, passed certifications exams for my course, finished my internship, and now graduating and job seeking since dude last uploaded. This is like a nice reunion with people i dont even know in the comments... Thanks Michael for the upload.
13:15 i like how Tommy just casually walked pass Michael in the background on his way to his house without batting an eye, like a scooter car was a normal thing.
6:59 For those that want to watch frame by frame just pause it and use the comma and period key to move back and forth. For mobile user this is what michael said 1st frame: "This is the shitty model I made in fusion 360. I usually dont model things out I build but wanted to not have to guess how long to cut every peice of tubing. So this is what we're trying to build. also I still ended up having to guess how long to cut every piece of tubing. 2nd frame: "Here we go I cut up a f*ckton of tube steel, but didn't follow that model exactly because I don't know why." 3rd frame (Aforementioned cleanup): "Laying out the steel in a rough shape to get an idea of what the frame's going to look like in real life, also to figure out where I got to cleam up for welding." 4th frame: "I do not knowif I spelled aforementionedcorrectly and I am not going to do spell check for a bit that 3 people are going to read." 5th frame:" Tacking up the steel in what I think are the right positions. I think you do this to keep tthings in place in case the clamps fall off, but in reality I do it because the youtube video that taught me how to weld did it and I've never questioned it." 6th frame:" Yessir just good ol weldin in the garage got a miller light and my BTS welding helmet on. Stan Jin" 7th frame: "You got to grind the millscale (outer layer of weird metal, honestly not sure what it is) off the metal for better quality welds. We'll weld it to that thing in the top right corner of the screen." 8th frame: "ahahah dumbass" 9th frame: "ayy not welding. This is maybe my second time using a lathe which is why st still seems like a good idea to remove steel chips with that metal ruler in my hand." 10th frame: "Realistically this took me 15-20 hours to make I do not know what I was doing and still dont. thank god blondiehacks' lathe tutorial videos exist. also I crashed the lathe and this part shot out once." 11th frame: "all to hold 2 of these bearings so scooter car can turn." 12th frame: "I should have looked online instead of making it stuff like this for sure exist I just dont know the name of it, could have saved so much time but if I think about that I will throw up." 13th frame: "Now tacking on some tube steel I cut in half hotdog style to get a good mounting surface for the frame." 14th frame: " This was the scariest part. when weld gets too hot and cools down too fast it can cause the metal to warp, which would f*ck my cool part I spent forever on. So i just went on youtube shorts after every weld to give the heat time to spread evenly through the part. also because I have tiktok brain." 15th frame: "Test fitting the bearing holder on the pin that will hold it in place. by the grace of god it did not warp." 16th and 17th frame: "plasma cutting some plate here at least I was until the plasme cutter blew out my breaker." 18th frame: "This is what little joy a person can feel after being covered in metal chips and coolant for 12 hours/day god bless the parts kind of fit together or I would have lost it." 19th frame: "If you weld a nut onto a stick, it counts as a bolt don't let anyone tell you different." 20th frame: " This is the plate steel I cut out earlier , it's making a.. cage for the bearing i guess. i don't ever work with anyone else so I've never learn what these things are actually called they will live as nebulous nameless concepts in my head until the day I die which is probably soon." 21th frame: " remember that warping i talked about earlier? not sure what this emotion is , ill just call it realized your parts dont fit together." 22nd frame: "Usually desperations breeds innovation , but here it breeds putting your part in a vise and bending the sh*t out of it." 23rd frame: "self explanatory"(Michael happy) 24th frame: "rise and grind gamers lets get this bread" 25th frame: " bent 45 degrees to meet the pivot point. also see that drill next to my nuts this is the best sh*t ever. it's a manual height adjustment table but I slapped my drill onto the crank and now it's like a powered standing desk and also way cheaper than a motorized one and also it's wireless and also it's a nice place to keep my drill." 26th frame: "welded the cage thing on looks poggers though it took forever to clamp up , felt like this was 50% clamping and measuring 10% welding and 50% blacking out at the lathe." 27th frame: (Michael sad) 28th frame: " this is not happiness i have simply inhaled too many weld fumes and dont remember what im doing anymore . the smile will soon fade." 29th frame: "the fusion 360 stress simulation system can suck nuts just jump on it to see if it feels right." 30th frame: "sneezed" 31st frame: "also this is the front half it looks like the rear half but.." 32nd frame: "it's in the front" 33rd frame: "wasn't sure if this will fit" 34th frame:" i am the best goddamn metal smith of all time none are greater i can do anything, i could weld the sun to the sky, the breeze to the wind i could angle grind the very concept of love" 35th frame: " Yummy wummy fumes" 36th frame: " this is what metal fumes does to a mfker" 37th frame: "finally assembling this massive piece of sh*t" 38th frame: (Michael happily sitting on the frame)
15:27 thanks for showing off my OpenSauce exhibit! Let it be known I did NOT get approved to showcase that robot I literally gaslit my way in anyways nice welds!
I was a alcoholic, abusive and single father of 9 but as soon as I heard that Micheal uploaded I am flabbergasted. I am now a governor, astronaut and a self made millionaire. Thank you Micheal Reeves
@@oakleyves He sold two children to become a millionaire and used the rest of his kids to power the rocket to become an astronaut. He is now the governor of the Moon. This is what watching Michael Reeves does to a mofo.
Listen m8...... in my defense I was very drunk and it was 2 in the morning. I swear that curb came out of nowhere. But ive learned my lesson and I know to lay off the whiskey before getting on an electric scooter again
The hilarious thing is that he put in all this effort and made so many cool individual things and then assembled them into the most worthless monstrosity he could have made. It's like making a gold and gem encrusted outhouse.
@@Crihs95 I know right?? Started off like a cool but reasonable project someone with some tools and some spare time (and creativity) might think of… but by the time he reached the finished project it was next level
Hey guys, I've finally been revived after having been in cryogenic stasis for a year. It's nice to see Michael Reeves still uploading! I can't wait to watch all the videos I've missed this year!
He's 100% violating the user agreements on the scooter, but those aren't laws. There's probably issues with driving an unregistered vehicle, though. Vehicles with more than 3 wheels on a street usually qualify as a "car". This lacks brake lights, windshield, etc so it's probably not street legal.
Not to mention that at the end of the video, he explains that it was actually an electric toy moped he built that caused the injury (he forgot to give it brakes)
The reveal at the end makes the fact that Michael forced this man to get into ANOTHER automobile machine he built after what happened the first time so much more sinister and fucking hilarious
The company he got these scooters must have both loved him and been confused. Imagine both see your scooters are in someone house, to only start driving in perfect unison square across the neighborhood.
i want to believe he rented the same four scooters and then took them in his house to do this, and had it constantly under rental for months, paying bird however many thousands of dollars for just having it rented 24/7
Those are limes. They just throw these in random spots in the city and don't give a fuck what happens to them. You can't see the bottom of the river in my city anymore, there are so many scooters there.
@@TheMarcQ yeah exactly. But the original comment is still one of the top comments on the video. Guess it doesn’t matter what the video content is, it’s still mostly watched by people with no clue.
Can I just say how much I appreciate Michael doing parts of this with real friends that aren't influencers or there for the collab? Like I get the grind, but it's nice to do stupid things with your friends (that don't hurt other people) just for the shits and giggles. It's grounding.
It's crazy that I got so caught up in the making of the actual scooter car that I forgot "Of course Tommy's arm had healed, it's been months". Really shows how engaging the video is.
Since Michael’s last video I have: Graduated college, 100% like 4 games (which is a lot for me), read 200 books, completely remodelled my room, got a job, stayed in that job longer than 4 coworkers, got my art displayed in a gallery and threw up via 3 cinnamon coffees on New Years
My appreciation for this video grew lol You made essentially a 17:30 TikTok video doing constant shit to grab the attention of the viewer. That shit takes a metric fuck ton of effort. Props bro
I know Michael builds deliberately obtuse contraptions for entertainment, but when he started welding and machining parts himself, I was thinking “wouldn’t just make more sense to put a seat between two parallel scooters and build a steering column that turns the front wheels from the middle?”

Sometimes it's fun to make shit out of garbage. I modded a record player to play records upside down and it's made almost entirely out of trash. But it works-ish.
imagine walking your dog down a street and seeing your neighbor laughing like a deranged person with a strange contrapion
I think I’d have to just bow down to the thingamajig
That’s probably how Henry Ford’s neighbors felt the morning he first drove his car prototype
can someone "laugh like a deranged person" if its already a deranged person?
The fact Micheal didn’t even partner with Bird or any scooter company so he wouldn’t have to pay to use them just goes to show how far he will go for a cause
E
Watching every one of his videos back as I do every once in a while, his editing is so underrated man, when you actually pay attention to it you see how skilled he is
The fact that michael unironically has the same truck every city has that recharges scooters.
lmao i hadnt realized
Michael is actually one of the best performing students to come out of The University of Weed
Shocking.

Finally😂
Took a little while

Michael sounding like a true engineer
Yo i unironically finished my under grad thesis, got 2 big projects for my freelance job, passed certifications exams for my course, finished my internship, and now graduating and job seeking since dude last uploaded. This is like a nice reunion with people i dont even know in the comments... Thanks Michael for the upload.
Good Job and Congrats on graduating! I'm sure you'll do great!
we have finally been blessed with a micheal reeves video
Ong
Only took a year
JAAAAAAAAAA
We have been content starved for so long!! 😭 😭
E
If he follows his usual schedule we should have a new Michael upload in like 2 months
I love how Michael’s haircut changed 3 times over the course of the video
13:15 i like how Tommy just casually walked pass Michael in the background on his way to his house without batting an eye, like a scooter car was a normal thing.
LMAOOOO
you can also see he has the cast on, which means he absolutely recorded the driving footage AFTER doing the bit with Tommy
@@thecommentor3845 If you look at what he's wearing and the cast later, the cast has an extra strap. I'm pretty sure that's his bag

13:04 Brodin filming from POV
This video took so long because half of the time was used building, and the other half was spent in jail after destruction of public property

10:34 that's pretty ingenious. You should start up your own company. People would come to you for ideas to make and you make them for them.
6:59 For those that want to watch frame by frame just pause it and use the comma and period key to move back and forth. For mobile user this is what michael said
1st frame: "This is the shitty model I made in fusion 360. I usually dont model things out I build but wanted to not have to guess how long to cut every peice of tubing. So this is what we're trying to build. also I still ended up having to guess how long to cut every piece of tubing.
2nd frame: "Here we go I cut up a f*ckton of tube steel, but didn't follow that model exactly because I don't know why."
3rd frame (Aforementioned cleanup): "Laying out the steel in a rough shape to get an idea of what the frame's going to look like in real life, also to figure out where I got to cleam up for welding."
4th frame: "I do not knowif I spelled aforementionedcorrectly and I am not going to do spell check for a bit that 3 people are going to read."
5th frame:" Tacking up the steel in what I think are the right positions. I think you do this to keep tthings in place in case the clamps fall off, but in reality I do it because the youtube video that taught me how to weld did it and I've never questioned it."
6th frame:" Yessir just good ol weldin in the garage got a miller light and my BTS welding helmet on. Stan Jin"
7th frame: "You got to grind the millscale (outer layer of weird metal, honestly not sure what it is) off the metal for better quality welds. We'll weld it to that thing in the top right corner of the screen."
8th frame: "ahahah dumbass"
9th frame: "ayy not welding. This is maybe my second time using a lathe which is why st still seems like a good idea to remove steel chips with that metal ruler in my hand."
10th frame: "Realistically this took me 15-20 hours to make I do not know what I was doing and still dont. thank god blondiehacks' lathe tutorial videos exist. also I crashed the lathe and this part shot out once."
11th frame: "all to hold 2 of these bearings so scooter car can turn."
12th frame: "I should have looked online instead of making it stuff like this for sure exist I just dont know the name of it, could have saved so much time but if I think about that I will throw up."
13th frame: "Now tacking on some tube steel I cut in half hotdog style to get a good mounting surface for the frame."
14th frame: " This was the scariest part. when weld gets too hot and cools down too fast it can cause the metal to warp, which would f*ck my cool part I spent forever on. So i just went on youtube shorts after every weld to give the heat time to spread evenly through the part. also because I have tiktok brain."
15th frame: "Test fitting the bearing holder on the pin that will hold it in place. by the grace of god it did not warp."
16th and 17th frame: "plasma cutting some plate here at least I was until the plasme cutter blew out my breaker."
18th frame: "This is what little joy a person can feel after being covered in metal chips and coolant for 12 hours/day god bless the parts kind of fit together or I would have lost it."
19th frame: "If you weld a nut onto a stick, it counts as a bolt don't let anyone tell you different."
20th frame: " This is the plate steel I cut out earlier , it's making a.. cage for the bearing i guess. i don't ever work with anyone else so I've never learn what these things are actually called they will live as nebulous nameless concepts in my head until the day I die which is probably soon."
21th frame: " remember that warping i talked about earlier? not sure what this emotion is , ill just call it realized your parts dont fit together."
22nd frame: "Usually desperations breeds innovation , but here it breeds putting your part in a vise and bending the sh*t out of it."
23rd frame: "self explanatory"(Michael happy)
24th frame: "rise and grind gamers lets get this bread"
25th frame: " bent 45 degrees to meet the pivot point. also see that drill next to my nuts this is the best sh*t ever. it's a manual height adjustment table but I slapped my drill onto the crank and now it's like a powered standing desk and also way cheaper than a motorized one and also it's wireless and also it's a nice place to keep my drill."
26th frame: "welded the cage thing on looks poggers though it took forever to clamp up , felt like this was 50% clamping and measuring 10% welding and 50% blacking out at the lathe."
27th frame: (Michael sad)
28th frame: " this is not happiness i have simply inhaled too many weld fumes and dont remember what im doing anymore . the smile will soon fade."
29th frame: "the fusion 360 stress simulation system can suck nuts just jump on it to see if it feels right."
30th frame: "sneezed"
31st frame: "also this is the front half it looks like the rear half but.."
32nd frame: "it's in the front"
33rd frame: "wasn't sure if this will fit"
34th frame:" i am the best goddamn metal smith of all time none are greater i can do anything, i could weld the sun to the sky, the breeze to the wind i could angle grind the very concept of love"
35th frame: " Yummy wummy fumes"
36th frame: " this is what metal fumes does to a mfker"
37th frame: "finally assembling this massive piece of sh*t"
38th frame: (Michael happily sitting on the frame)
That’s crazy
Frame 28 is the mvp
What flavour of autism is this (This is really cool, thank you!)
35th frame is crazy
for anyone wondering what "that thing in the top right corner of the screen" is, its a stock imagine of someone flipping you off lmao

The age of war soundtrack just brought back so many memories to me. Thank you Michael.
Imagine being so shit at riding public rental scooters that you make Micheal Reeves remember his youtube password
this is the comment i came for
Best comment
He broke his hand driving a scooter that Michael built, not the rental one. And it didn't have breaks, so that's the reason why.
@@дигл_лайв we watched the video, he explained that to us
Listen m8...... in my defense I was very drunk and it was 2 in the morning. I swear that curb came out of nowhere. But ive learned my lesson and I know to lay off the whiskey before getting on an electric scooter again
"I could weld the sun to the sky, the breeze to the wind, I could angle grind the very concept of love" is the hardest metal smith line of all time.

I feel like people aren't appreciating how impressive the engineering is here. This project is actually insane, I'm mind blown
The hilarious thing is that he put in all this effort and made so many cool individual things and then assembled them into the most worthless monstrosity he could have made.
It's like making a gold and gem encrusted outhouse.
It started off kinda chill and then it just exponentially grew into a monstrosity lmao actually insane

@@Crihs95 I know right?? Started off like a cool but reasonable project someone with some tools and some spare time (and creativity) might think of… but by the time he reached the finished project it was next level

He made a go-kart in the most complex way possible. Respect
The dude said “I need something more complex” and proceeds to pull out a wii remote

I want to see a Legal Eagle breakdown of this video, because it's not a Michael Reeves video without some *serious* law violations
His just driving a white pickup with lights on top and a hi vis vest and helmet has got to be breaking several laws.
@@crimsoneclipse0618 that light is not illegal depending on the state and the vest is perfectly legal
He's 100% violating the user agreements on the scooter, but those aren't laws.
There's probably issues with driving an unregistered vehicle, though. Vehicles with more than 3 wheels on a street usually qualify as a "car". This lacks brake lights, windshield, etc so it's probably not street legal.
@@crimsoneclipse0618 Wearing a high vis vest and a helmet is not illegal lmao what
@@isjaki8940 would be kinda fucked if being visible was a crime
I like how his first response to his friend getting a scooter injury is to do dangerous things with scooters.
Not to mention that at the end of the video, he explains that it was actually an electric toy moped he built that caused the injury (he forgot to give it brakes)
@@lapiscarrot3557Not to mention that he did that again
This is like a birthday, Christmas, anniversary, and wedding gift all in one video.
The TH-cam we loved is back!
Preimerwho? XD
yooo didnt expect to see you here Pete!
Pateeee
wow pete
Pete!
The biggest twist that
tommy didnt break his arm from an electric scooter but an electric toy moped that michael built felt so michael reeves
Ain't no way, the legend is back... now Michael reached his max vid per year (1/1) 💀
E
see you in a year 🫡
The reveal at the end makes the fact that Michael forced this man to get into ANOTHER automobile machine he built after what happened the first time so much more sinister and fucking hilarious
For best experience, re-watch 6:31
That's some Memento-level twist
Had me real worried with the front wheels for a second but "Two clamps from Home Depot I welded together" really saved the day.
You definitely got the idea of powering one side from tracked vehicles - thats how tanks turn.
The company he got these scooters must have both loved him and been confused. Imagine both see your scooters are in someone house, to only start driving in perfect unison square across the neighborhood.
i want to believe he rented the same four scooters and then took them in his house to do this, and had it constantly under rental for months, paying bird however many thousands of dollars for just having it rented 24/7
E
No one who works for any of these companies is proactively monitoring each scooter...
Those are limes. They just throw these in random spots in the city and don't give a fuck what happens to them. You can't see the bottom of the river in my city anymore, there are so many scooters there.
@@TheMarcQ yeah exactly. But the original comment is still one of the top comments on the video. Guess it doesn’t matter what the video content is, it’s still mostly watched by people with no clue.
I want to know what the Lime bill came to. And what Homeland Security think of this thing. 10/10
Can I just say how much I appreciate Michael doing parts of this with real friends that aren't influencers or there for the collab? Like I get the grind, but it's nice to do stupid things with your friends (that don't hurt other people) just for the shits and giggles. It's grounding.
Brother... You're a fucking mad man... And I say that with every ounce of love my body can produce. Keep it up.
The fact that the controller is a Wii remote that CANNOT POSSIBLY be used by someone with a broken arm is just... perfect
Almost as useful as a madcatz controller on a submarine
It's crazy that I got so caught up in the making of the actual scooter car that I forgot "Of course Tommy's arm had healed, it's been months". Really shows how engaging the video is.

My favorite part of this is the straight up MANIACAL laughter that i recognize only from kids jumping in a wagon and going down a hill with no breaks.
i love his maniacal laughter, perfect description
that shit brought the biggest smile too my face fr
Since Michael’s last video I have: Graduated college, 100% like 4 games (which is a lot for me), read 200 books, completely remodelled my room, got a job, stayed in that job longer than 4 coworkers, got my art displayed in a gallery and threw up via 3 cinnamon coffees on New Years
My appreciation for this video grew lol
You made essentially a 17:30 TikTok video doing constant shit to grab the attention of the viewer.
That shit takes a metric fuck ton of effort. Props bro
I know Michael builds deliberately obtuse contraptions for entertainment, but when he started welding and machining parts himself, I was thinking “wouldn’t just make more sense to put a seat between two parallel scooters and build a steering column that turns the front wheels from the middle?”
I mean, you answered your own question.
If everything makes sense its not a michael reeves video
If he did everything correctly, it wouldn't be entertaining! He truly stretches himself to create things in the most ridiculous ways
i mean he could probably just build a small car if he really wanted to, but yk, that's not as entertaining as doing it with scooters
I think it needed more scooters. Here's to 2030's video, the scooter millipede :)
