Kaneda's bike was electric, we are just now getting to the day and age where we can make a bike just like his, same propulsion systems and everything.

This was amazing! How much did this cost you?
@matus1976 Ай бұрын
That was pre-pandemic, but was between 1200 - 1400 USD in a high COL area. The lumber is the biggest chunk so a quick estimate could be made just pricing out the 2x4s and 4x4s needed.

Wait, you're going for production?! Holy crap! I would love one of those! On a side note, if you ever want to come up to Everett and see what a Honda Helix feels like to ride around on, hit me up. Just remembered "Wait a minute, he's in Seattle, and I'm in Everett. He'd actually be able to test a recumbent motorscooter like that, wouldn't he?".
@matus1976 Ай бұрын
Yup that's right, definitely going to be producing these. Part of the reason it's taking longer is planning & designing for scale and manufacturability and building all those jigs and fixtures. I'd definitely be interested in trying a helix out - though I don't make it up to everett too often, but I'll reach out if I'm going to be in there area! Thanks!

@matus1976 Ай бұрын
I'm gonna make em and sell em of course!!! Ah but more specifically, I'll test this one out quite a bit and implement any necessary design updates into phase II, and phase II will probably be the first one I offer for sale. The jigs and fixtures will make it much quicker to build more of them.

Unless the primary goal of this bike is to look exactly like the Akira bike, there are tons of design and engineering flaws/inefficiencies. The best feet forward bikes to date are Dan Gurney's Alligator and Robert Horn's protoype racer. If I were doing a FFM I'd make it Gurney's layout and size, with Robert's front suspension design and the Duke 890 motor. If I had the resources to make my own engine, I'd basically make the Duke 890 engine but with the cylinders laid down near horizontally in an effort to get the output sprocket more rearward for better reach and to not have to have a chain whipping around under my thigh.

Have you considered making it electric? Wasn't Kaneda's a duel motor electric?
@matus1976 3 ай бұрын
Yeah, I'll definitely be doing an electric version. I'm making it powertrain agnostic, it can run off different motors and powerplants with minor modifications. But the first one will be built around the cx500 engine. I think in the Anime it was a hybrid, clearly had some combustion engine tones. Also it has some sort of electricity shooting superconducting ceramic rotors - which don't exist lol.

It says specifically on Simpson's website you should use Strong-Drive SD connector Screw for the Simpson strong tie bracket. Pan head screws do not have the sear strength necessary for that support.
@matus1976 3 ай бұрын
That's a good point. I'd suspect that recommendation is so the screws can meet the load requirements of the max load the brackets are rated for, but in this build we're not hitting anywhere near that load and the screws can handle the load of this structure just fine, but it wouldn't hurt to use the larger tougher screws.

@@1_Micah_1 Bel y Bel's bike is focused on looking exactly like Kaneda's bike, as opposed to being full size high performance and fully functional. It's quite small and has a top speed of like 40mph. Looks like they are a shop that specialize in movie inspired props. But the craftmanship and skill is top-notch! Just quite a bit different from what I'm doing.

I made a catio more or less the same as yours only I Used see through corrugated roofing so the cats can see what’s fling or settling on top of it, it’s not in a permanently sunny spot only from 10. 30 am to 2. 30 pm in summer so they pick and chose when they want sun or a shaded spot to sit in though they do not use it much in mid winter only for short periods as it gets very cold where I live. Cats know what they want and have beds out there they swap places in. One cat does not like winter and only goes out for a half hour or so at noon and night times, my other cat who is 17 this year was an outdoor cat when young, he’s out there more at night in any weather, though less in mid winter, thanks I’m so happy I found your video as most do not give enough detail and yours was a perfecto catio the cats and myself love it I’m thinking of extending it further round the garden from wher it as and making one area higher so they can see what’s over the fence trellis and through the trees. I’m sure they will love it as one spot gets sun most all day, to keep the younger one happy. I will follow your other videos as I’ve been making this Catio, and finished about 6 months ago, so bust but her I am commenting and subscribed to your video. Many thanks I love a great workman woman, cannot do with bodger’s. 😻😺edit 15 months ago I built this not Five cheers.
@matus1976 4 ай бұрын
Oh nice, I wish I has used transparent roofing now, I'm sure they enjoy the extra sun and light and visibility, but really depends on how hot the area is. I'm kind of on the borderline where that may be too hot. I'm glad you liked the video and thanks for the subscription!
