In this video you see me making a DIY powerful electric three wheeled fat tyre tilting scooter powered by 4 hoverboard motors at home in my garage. The video contains the full build start to finish.
I added chapters below to easily navigate through the video.
It has a full tilting mechanism on the rear wheels (like a tilting trike), a mono front swingarm and full suspension.
Wheels are from a lawnmower tractor.
Frame is built from 20mm, 25mm and 35mm tube with 2mm wall thickness.
Suspension bushings and front wheel spindle are from an 110cc ATV I had laying around.
Steering mechanism is made out of old bicycle parts. I also added a steering damper to make it more stable.
The knobs to fill the tubes and all cable fasteners were 3D printed.
Technical details:
4 hoverboard motors 36v 350w
4 brushless motor controllers BLDC 48v 350w with hall sensor control and GT-100 display (aliexpress)
4 hoverboard lithium batteries 36v 4400mAh
top speed (with driver 65kg): 40 km/h on GPS
range: 12 km
tyresize: 16 x 7.50 - 8
Chapters:
0:00 - intro
0:20 - building the rear swingarms
7:50 - building the front swingarm
12:45 - building the frame
17:35 - building the rear suspension
22:35 - building the front suspension and steering mechanism
29:35 - building the battery tray
33:35 - spray painting everything
35:56 - presentation of the finished product and testdrive

@jeanmartin963 11 ай бұрын

he has versatile metal worker skills, for the engineering skills you need a deep test to see if it is really well designed indeed. Maybe it is too ! But what happens if the motor in one of the wheels stops (suden motor failure) and not in the other ? There will be a contrary pitching of the two wheels in relation to the frame, and a rotation of the scooter in yaw. Do the control electronics take it into account ?

Hats off sir. I wasn’t excited by the look of the scooter at first but seeing you jazz up some of the finest engineering solutions I’ve ever seen on video was a profound experience. Very inspiring and exciting to see. A little too much steel but otherwise a tru joy to see. I would love to use you as a consultant engineer on future projects as your problem solving is par excellence. I never write comments and reviews, but here is a super long one. Congratulations.

My man this is beyond impressive. B-E-Y-O-N-D! Just hopped on KZfaq to get a little inspiration in my own scooter design...then I come across this. I have so many questions that I am really at a loss for typing them out lol I'm seriously flabbergasted. I'll get back to you with my top 5 most important inquiries regarding things you did I would like to emulate. This build is incredible. For any seasoned e-scooter hackers/modders out there this is like a full fledged work of art! For real atm im like at a loss lol. You should also be commended for you're welding skill, design, and the way you somehow retrofit those hover-board hub motors into another albeit LARGER wheel base (AND MADE IT WORK. . .)! Just the shear audacity alone to try this is mind blowing lol you must be an engineer for your day job eh? If not. . .maybe you should look into an engineering gig!
