It’s been a while guys, I’m glad to be back! Thanks again to scaler for sponsoring this video - you can check them out here: bit.ly/Scaler_LouisWeisz

You should try it on a higher-end full suspension mountain bike, it'd make the ride a hell of a lot smoother... and safer.

Louis, please make 2.0 a little bit more stable... Losing a fuel canister, the cover that keeps the turbine from inhaling rocks and destroying itself, and having to fix those while in the valley is pretty bad.

A couple people have commented that a full suspension mtn bike might be a better choice, which I agree with however a recumbent bike might offer better stability and better aerodynamics as well as being a bit more comfortable on your untrained buttocks.

Turns out that "a horse with no name" is just a jet powered Walmart bike

From slapping a chicken to being chased down by a helicopter on a jet bike, I bet it's a surreal experience! Congrats on how far you've come!

bro made the GTA bike 💀

I swear this man has a secret superpower to find random garage workshops anywhere in the world.

Still can't believe we got out of that ticket. Next up jet powered roller skates?

My man doing a "how fast can I kill myself speedrun" at this point.

as someone who has built DIY ebikes and motorized bikes I can tell you the wheel bearings on them are not able to handle over 35mph. extra sketchy.

And thus ends the saga of Jeremy the Jet. From being akwardly attacked to the bottom side of a Radio Flyer wagon and streaking across the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, to being boxed and sent together with a modified sled to challenge the threacherous snow and ice in the frigid Minnesota to reach The Angle, he now gives it all in the dry and scorching heat of Death Valley, California. He did his best, but sadly his best was not enough this time. Let us pay our respects the only way the internet knows how to. F. But this is not the end, for like a phoenix, one more shall rise from the ashes and continue the saga of jet powered vehicles. Let his name be Jerome the Jet, and may he propel faster and stronger than his predecessor!!!

“After a few more attempt, I finally got this run” sounds like you’re channeling your inner Wirtual there

That actually seems terrifying absolutely amazing. 70 mph on a Walmart bike I can’t believe it.

Trusting Walmart wheels with that speed and weight is the scariest part of this video

Imagine not knowing what's going on and just look out and see a bicycle going fast as hell with a helicopter and car chasing it out in the desert

Next time you might want to try putting some kind f nose cone or something on the bike. This will do a few things. It will make the bike more aerodynamic, saving fuel and also allowing it to go faster, and it will also somewhat protect you if for example a car kicks up a pebble, you suddenly aren't hit with a rock at 50Mph or something.

That heli pilot is gonna be getting a call from the FAA soon lol that was crazy dangerous

Super cool video! Makes the mechanical engineer in me happy to see projects like this

That Walmart bike is sketchy for so many reasons. I could go on but in summery: Cheap wheels and tires increase rolling resistance. Cheap frame decreases rigidity and increases weight. Gears and derailleur can be clunky and not smooth. Brakes may not be super reliable in an emergency situation. And as many others have stated a full suspension setup could be good. (may not be super necessary tho, a good hard tail may be enough) Also don't be afraid to buy a good used bike as a starting point. You can get really good parts for cheaper than a new bike. Great video and keep it up!

this is suuuper sketchy, im amazed that walmart bike held up! awesome video it bugged me you didnt get a full suspension for a trip like that! would it have not worked with the engine mounting?

"Steering it in wind is difficult" *goes 70 mph on a bike in rotor wash*

I love all these engineering students who make goofy awesome things like this it's just so enjoyable too watch

Really proud of you, Louis. I can’t wait for your next project

Man this is such a great video!!! keep it up, I love em.

I love your vids my guy, my fav was the minecraft cake one. All the others are great as well!

You dudes are so cool! the high thrust line may be contribute to the speed wobble. try getting the jet down somewhat!

Nice video as always. Glad i could help :)

Ah yes Louis just vibing then inadvertenly the escapes from the Police and gets into a helicopter chase.

Props to the chopper flying under 10 feet 👏

Those jet powered projects look pretty cool I might try one but cheaper. Good job on the video

Dude that was epic you're totally awesome for doing this I would love to ride my electric bike along side you if you come down my way. Great video

You should get a turboshaft engine this time. Couple the output shaft to a bldc motor to act as a 3 phase generator, rectify that into dc, and suddenly you have a super light generator. Even the smallest rc turboshafts can output 5kw or so, so maybe it would be good as a ridiculously overkill hybrid? Or heck maybe just stick a prop on it and make a turboprop bike lol.

bros becoming a trackmania streamer with the "i finally got this run"

by far your best vid 👏

Great video! Sending thanks from Naperville Illinois!

Great video! I wonder what the other bikers thought when they got passed by a jet bike?

I think you're going to need to upgrade to stainless steel zip ties for your engineering projects. Maybe even a big hose clamp to keep the debris shield on.

On the shots where you fly by, I can’t help but crack up! 🤣🤣🤣

Dude this video was awesome and hilarious 😂 new fan here for sure. Just discovered your channel with this video. Keep it up!

amazing video, keep it up 😘

That Robert guy seems cool

You the man. I love it, hell you came so close & i know you would have made it all the way. You got my vote for inginuity and persistance. Cant wait for the rematch .

Bro that was epic! You’re insane! 😂❤

When you bleeped the officer, I though he was calling you some sort of "derogatory" term.

"We're just going to call that a bike" Sure.

Two jets would be super cool!! On one of the chopper style bikes would be so sick!

George Clooney at 16:12! Awesome work Louis!

If you bend over more, you can go much faster, aerodynamics plays a bigger role than you might think. I was worried about airflow into the jet engine as well.

7000 likes for a man racing a helicopter with a jet powered bike, like come on?! This deserves better! ❤

you are the only youtuber who i still like after adding new people cause you dont have them do everything like the hacksmith

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this .....thanks for the entertainment!!

Do you have any ideas for cars too? It’ll be awesome to see

I hope you added a kill switch this time.

That engine held up better than expected. Major speed from that thing.

2:36 You know what it takes to produce batteries right? You're killing the Earth less with that jet engine

Who else stumped their toe running to the comment section?

you are one of the coolest cool shit makers on yt so keep making fire stuff cuz its lit ong fr

This channel has evolved so much from the start.

lets just appreciate how high quality his videos are

Big shout out to the park police officer (or whatever exactly he was) for obviously bending the rules to facilitate this adventure. I don't think that would be typical!

I'm absolutely subscribing so I can see the eventual second attempt! 😆

Awesome project, I hope you can finish the ride. I've driven that stretch of road to teakettle junction and racetrack playa a few times and it's arguably one of the longest stretches of horribly washboard road I've ever done. It regularly tears up car suspensions and shakes parts loose. Every time I've done it there have been disabled cars abandoned along the route. At least in a car, good suspension and soft tires are the key, then you have to find the right speed to more or less 'float' over the corrugations. I've seen cars melt their shocks ( there's an Edmunds video on YT where they test a Honda pickup on the road and damage the suspensions of both pickups they bring, including their TRD chase truck). Overbuild all the mount points and expect to break stuff. Dual, long travel suspension and wide, soft tires are best, a long with a comfy seat and a shock-absorbing seatpost and bar mount. If you were sore before getting to that road, it'll get so much worse. Alternatively, start farther south to get your 100 miles without that road. Good luck!

I'm amazed how long the jet lasted before giving out its been in three separate projects

You young men are awesome!!!

Love it, love it, love it.....can we see two jets next, more snacks 😀

"You're not you when you're hungry" I can relate 😂

This video is going to blow up

Great video! You survived 👏

4:25 we use the arduino programm and the microcontrollers in school wich is nice to see it in a bigger project

Best ending ever lmao, fantastic vid either way

No joke, early pandemic I bought the exact same Walmart Schwin and strapped on a 1kw Violamart electric motor kit. The shifting is horrible and the bike is honestly a little small for me (that model has 26" wheels) but I just passed 1,300 miles this week and for $750 all in, it rocks :)

That's some sick balanced wheels, I mean most mountain bikers can relate that you bend your rims in less than 1s after you get it fixed

Super entertaining!

Come on you have to finish this race. Do it again or is there a part 2? I can't find it. Please let me know? Hey that's pretty awesome and probably a lot more fun than my 20 second ride on rocket powered electric scooter a few years ago cuz your fun is sustained fun for hours 😆🤘 You Rock.

Bro Alex Choi Is such a chad for coming out to meet like that

you may very well be the coolest person on youtube

Great video. Spewin, you almost made it!!!!

Great job !!

I just love the noise of jet engine 😂❤

Literally the half-way point between a Motorcycle and a regular Bicycle.

You gotta use a higher end downhill bike for comfort and more capable for different terrain. Either that or you get a high end time trails road bike so you can get ultra aerodynamic.

This is epic!

You should ride this out on the roads in Florida. You’ld fit right in.

Being a steam guy and thus only familiar with steam turbines I have heard that jolts and bumps are incredibly hard on the bearings in the turbine (thus the reson the majestic steam turbine locomotive was a failure). Although this may be different for those infernal combustion turbines it couldn't hurt to put a shock absorbing device on the turbine mounts in an attempt to reduce ware.

This is such a hilarious idea

Shout out to any law enforcement that 'let things slide'.

im just sweating the whole time watching him ride this thing. I coulda swore he was gonna blow up

what a solid friend

Maybe have the jerrycans be attached lower to the ground to reduce the high center of gravity.

I ride that aria all the time and have done it on crappy wall mart bikes as well as the expensive rentals from furnace creek. When you work there you can ride them for free so I used to indulge a bit. Tip on the rangers ride at night if you're riding something crazy , there is no one around at all you can ride down the middle of the road if you want. As long as it isn't new years or something were the rangers are prowling around looking to make DUI busts. About any normal night though it's like after an apocalypse or something you'll be the only one down there.

Would love to see another attempt

Bro made like a rocket 🚀 soo funny man😂

lmao the shorts and sneakers are amazing. I would've been in full motocross gear. Eating it at that speed would've suuuuuuucked

Dope attempt

I really hope those fuel canisters hadn’t been used before y’all started welding around them. Great vid

I think you should do this again but drive across america

Looks like a good "reason" to go bigger!

I’m from central Alberta where the temps rarely get to the 90’s. But even I know better than to set out at 9 am on what’s going to be a hot day. Get yer butts out of bed and beat the heat at daybreak, you get two or three hours of cooler temps.

subscribed, awesome stuff you guys do
