today is the day that I'm going to

00:02

finally test drive the monster Chopper

00:04

first I got to round over the front tire

00:05

finish the brakes and in honor of its

00:08

first test drive we have these brand new

00:11

monster Chopper

00:14

t-shirts every $5 you spend on merch

00:17

gets you an entry to win that little ATV

00:20

right there which will just finish

00:22

putting back together with its brand new

00:23

powdercoated frame and you'll also win

00:26

an Everlast welder and an arc Droid CNC

00:29

plasma cutter so go check that out and

00:32

stick around for burnouts and test

00:36

[Music]

00:47

drives right get the tire on shave the

00:50

front tire make a battery

00:55

[Music]

00:57

box time to Trimm on the front tire make

01:00

it look like the rear tires so that we

01:01

can lean easier in corner and this time

01:04

I'm going to do a little

01:06

experimenting with

01:09

uh the old sawall because um the hot

01:13

knife works pretty well but it's slow so

01:15

I figure I can Lop off the big like

01:19

majority of it with

01:23

[Music]

01:27

this yeah I mean with a fresh

01:30

battery I can just Lop off a big chunk

01:33

like that and then fine-tune it with the

01:35

hot knife and it that'll make the blade

01:38

on that last longer and just it should

01:40

go a lot faster

01:49

[Music]

01:56

[Music]

02:14

wow me it cuts really fast but it's

02:17

probably just try to get your angle yeah

02:19

it's unwieldy

02:27

[Music]

02:49

yeah ought to be

02:57

decent truck brakes battery mount

03:00

now be in business obviously I'll come

03:03

up with a better solution than zip ties

03:06

in the long run but we got a test drive

03:09

to do

03:16

exactly something like the beginnings of

03:18

a battery box

03:20

[Music]

03:25

yeah I decided I'm bored with hexagon

03:28

for right now so

03:30

uh I did

03:34

triangles he's a changed man no I still

03:38

like hexagons it just wouldn't look

03:40

right on this piece it just holds this

03:42

one lb battery so it doesn't need to be

03:45

very strong at all uh and this will look

03:47

cool and be super

03:49

lightweight so let's uh

03:57

[Music]

04:15

taada just a bunch of slag to clean off

04:18

of there Bend all the sides up weld it

04:21

together we'll have a nice little

04:23

battery box

04:26

[Music]

04:32

[Music]

04:43

it's a really satisfying p

04:49

[Music]

05:01

yeah what do you think can you help me

05:03

Bend

05:04

this no yelling at me isn't going to

05:09

help you going to give me a hand or what

05:12

no all right that's enough

05:16

[Music]

05:46

I've got the teeniest tiniest little tab

05:48

ever to mount this battery box and a

05:52

couple of attacks and then um we're

05:55

pretty much ready for a test ride I

05:56

think uh I need to put a little more

05:57

fuel in it make sure all my bolts bolts

05:59

are tight so we don't have a loose bolts

06:02

willly situation huh dangerously close

06:06

to a test

06:07

drive that's exciting with functioning

06:10

front and rear brakes that might be a

06:13

first in grind hard history first test

06:16

drive with all of the brakes working I

06:19

don't know if we've ever done that I

06:20

don't actually think I've ever seen you

06:22

guys do that yeah probably not

06:26

go go

06:34

let's

06:35

go let's

06:53

go nice that seems to be a yes that that

06:56

does seem to be a

06:58

yes uh which means I think um I don't

07:01

think I can really put off the uh test

07:03

drive much

07:04

you're going and they have live forest

07:36

fire data which is very convenient in

07:39

this part of the world uh because Fire

07:41

season is coming up quick and we didn't

07:43

get a lot of snow so probably going to

07:46

today a little more of the Go Juice

08:35

man what a momentous occasion we've

08:37

definitely never waited this long for a

08:38

first test drive before from like start

08:40

of project to first test drive it's

08:43

been about 7 months I think we started

08:46

this in September yeah this is super

08:49

exciting yeah it's also the biggest

08:52

question mark of any test drive

08:54

everything else I've ever built like the

08:56

first test drive was the only question

08:57

was is it going to be good or like not

09:00

great you know this one it's going to

09:02

the question is can I drive it at

09:06

all I don't know we're about to find out

09:09

we sure

09:10

are this is the moment everyone's been

09:12

waiting for quite literally

09:16

yes including us I've been excited about

09:18

this for months yeah me too I've

09:21

actually had a few dreams about it the

09:23

dreams have all gone well so that's a

09:25

good sign not a super Sous person but

09:28

you never know

09:30

I'm very excited to see this thing drive

09:32

cuz I drive normal motorcycles and I've

09:36

just I've never seen something like this

09:38

and I have no idea no one's ever seen

09:40

something like this and it's like the

09:43

first two whe like super custom thing

09:47

that we done yeah oh yeah for sure

09:49

everything else is like just modifying

09:51

something either four wheels or it's two

09:53

wheels that already has like the

09:54

suspension geometry and everything

09:56

figured out and we just well I mean the

09:58

original murder scooter was kind of a

10:00

that was a handcrafted thing but it was

10:02

the front and back of a normal

10:03

motorcycle just extending that's why I

10:05

mean it's just like something welded on

10:07

from a two whe machine I think what we

10:11

need to do first is a burnout

10:15

huh right yeah I mean should be the

10:19

easiest thing to do you have two big

10:22

brakes and a huge Tire yeah it's just a

10:24

matter of traction differential if the

10:25

front has enough traction to slow down

10:28

the rear and if not I'll just put it up

10:30

against a wall and yeah all right nice

10:33

uh ear plugs over

11:15

well that worked pretty well yeah I mean

11:18

I was kind of able to do one just with

11:20

the front brakes but it was just kind of

11:22

slowly inching forward I think it was

11:23

kind of like that a little bit of that

11:25

hop like slow this tire isn't exactly

11:28

the most

11:29

I think I mean you can make it more

11:32

round by doing more bur ah yes yes

11:35

anyway um I'll call that a success we

11:37

carved a nice little Groove into the

11:38

rear wheel it's that banjo bolt but

11:42

whatever it will self

11:43

clearance it will and we have two spare

11:46

Wheels I'll deal with it later but to

11:48

fix it I'd have to take the whole rear

11:49

wheel off and the fender off and

11:50

everything else and it'll like you said

11:52

it will literally self clearance this is

11:53

quite the occasion yeah I'm actually so

11:56

excited to see this thing go

12:02

turn

12:15

[Music]

12:21

[Music]

12:42

that is so cool

12:47

[Music]

13:06

[Music]

13:07

that is he's just the weirdest thing

13:10

I've ever seen driving on two wheels

13:13

that is so cool oh my god it works so

13:16

much better than I thought it was going

13:18

to

13:29

[Music]

13:35

[Music]

13:47

[Music]

13:54

[Music]

13:58

right

14:02

[Music]

14:10

I hear him still driving too yeah he

14:13

didn't fall

14:14

over he just ripped it out of there it's

14:17

so funny cuz it spins the wheel so

14:21

easily oh do we have a tip over

14:24

situation or is he turning around it

14:27

looked extremely writable totally chill

14:29

except for turning around at low

14:31

speeds the weight just got away from me

14:33

and I couldn't hold it up as I was

14:35

turning around here and now it doesn't

14:37

want to start for some reason maybe the

14:39

charging system isn't working it's

14:41

incredibly chill like once you're moving

14:43

steering is just easy peasy it handles

14:46

like a normal bike it's obviously heavy

14:49

yeah but like you can't even feel the

14:51

weight difference once you're rolling it

14:53

doesn't feel heavy on the side it look

14:54

easy you just took off and you were like

14:56

woo yeah yeah that was so cool zero

14:59

problems

15:00

oh except the GoPro I might have

15:02

murdered the GoPro that was maybe a bad

15:04

place for us to mount it oh yeah it's

15:06

done the GoPro St I might be able to

15:09

roll start

15:17

it nope I knew I would be able to ride

15:20

it to some extent but I'm truly shocked

15:24

at how easy it is to ride on an uneven

15:27

dirt driveway

15:48

sh that is crazy

16:04

is this Ethan's chain yeah it looks like

16:06

it might be it sounded like the chain

16:08

popped off when he revved really high I

16:10

was like hm I kind of was wondering if

16:12

that was going to be an issue cuz

16:14

there's no chain tensioner and it's like

16:16

a 2m long chain no it just bent oh I

16:21

stripped it into second and just gave it

16:23

the beans I heard that and and that

16:26

sounded like right after the beans no no

16:29

um but yeah it's extremely drivable some

16:31

uh durability issues but drivability no

16:35

problems at all it's so weird to see the

16:38

suspension moving like that like just

16:40

like it's very weird um does it feel

16:43

weird like when you're on it I mean yeah

16:45

but mainly because of how much unsprung

16:47

weight there is it's just bouncy you

16:48

know the tires just kind of hop although

16:51

that one felt felt a lot better after um

16:54

when I stopped at the end of the

16:54

driveway MH because I switched this over

16:57

to the stiffest damping setting and that

17:00

helped it made the front less bouncy I

17:02

mean it still bounces cuz of the tire

17:03

but the suspension isn't too bouncy now

17:06

so we need a new chain and a new fix

17:09

that sprocket plate thing and then we'll

17:13

be good for another

17:16

[Music]

17:19

go time for some reinforcements

17:29

got this sprocket hub off you can see

17:30

how twisted it is actually look at this

17:33

all of the holes are stretched into

17:36

ovals that is a lot of torque and if you

17:39

think about it it's got 100 ft-lbs of

17:42

torque roughly at the

17:44

crank and then you got a reduction of

17:47

first gear which is probably

17:50

like I don't know 5 to one or something

17:52

like that and you've got that reduction

17:54

going through all the chain reductions

17:55

which is probably like another 8 to one

17:57

so you got like something like 50 to1

18:02

reduction or I don't know we'll call it

18:04

less than that 40 to1 that's a lot of

18:06

torque 30 to1 even if it's 30 to1 that's

18:09

now 3,000 footb of torque there was

18:12

people saying that's not enough power oh

18:15

it's enough power

18:18

[Music]

18:32

time to cut out sprocket Hub part one

18:36

I'm just using 316 still because I'm

18:38

going to double it up and uh I've

18:41

arranged the holes such that all of the

18:43

holes will still be there just kind of

18:45

like they were or most of them anyway

18:48

and then the two sizes of sprocket are

18:52

um offset so there's big holes on one

18:54

and small holes on the other and then

18:55

opposite so I can weld inside of the

18:58

holes make it super duper

18:59

[Applause]

19:01

[Music]

19:19

strong you can see there's a step that I

19:21

can weld inside those ones and inside

19:25

those

19:26

ones and they're two different sizes on

19:29

the inside that's not for welding that's

19:30

just so that it can go over um so that

19:32

one will go up against that little stop

19:34

there and then this one will go over the

19:37

next layer

19:48

[Music]

20:14

[Applause]

20:22

got it all welded and now the this

20:24

temporary chunk of shaft that was

20:26

holding in the lath doesn't want to come

20:27

out

20:29

[Music]

20:37

welded here inside of each of these

20:39

circles there there so yeah should be

20:44

good and then this these lines here of

20:45

course are where my holes are going to

20:46

be drilled that's the circle

20:51

[Music]

20:55

[Applause]

20:57

[Music]

21:16

that's done

21:19

brok all

21:21

[Music]

21:24

right so here's where the old master

21:26

link was and I think this spare chunk I

21:30

have here is going to be just enough to

21:36

replace that whole section all righty

21:40

time for test drive number two I'm going

21:43

to try and not break the chain this time

21:46

or that sprocket well the sprocket is

21:48

way beefier so that shouldn't break

21:50

anyway

21:52

[Music]

22:00

[Applause]

22:05

[Music]

22:14

br

22:20

[Music]

22:37

[Applause]

22:37

[Music]

22:57

m

22:59

oh

23:03

[Music]

23:10

[Applause]

23:17

[Music]

23:36

[Music]

23:41

this thing is just extremely ridable at

23:43

what extrem you were just crawling

23:45

through the woods like no problem it's

23:47

probably a 1000lb bike and you can just

23:49

ride it through the woods I mean

23:51

obviously it's not as maneuverable as a

23:53

normal dirt bike and it's very bouncy

23:56

due to the unsprung weight but like

24:00

it just

24:01

rips chain popped off again cuz I uh

24:04

decided I needed to do a

24:06

little I saw that you were like burning

24:09

the tire out what and then the train

24:11

popped off yep I was flying the Drone

24:14

and Ethan was going like places I didn't

24:17

think he was going to go he's going

24:18

through the trees and stuff I was like

24:20

waa that's pretty cool

24:28

yeah so next on the upgrades list chain

24:31

guide cuz if this had a guide to keep it

24:33

from flopping around it would probably

24:34

stay on a lot better

24:41

[Music]

25:11

because it's so low to the ground so

25:13

stable like super maneuverable yeah I

25:16

mean way more than I would have ever

25:17

thought I mean certainly more than I

25:19

would have expected for a first drive

25:20

and like more honestly it's way easier

25:22

to ride than I ever anticipated so

25:25

that's uh that's a huge win yeah

25:28

I bet I thought i' written it a little

25:31

bit I bet you could ride it in the

25:33

sand like air these down air them down

25:36

enough so that they still stay rounded

25:38

cuz like right now I think they're like

25:39

25 30 PSI air them down to like 10 so

25:42

they stay rounded but are a little

25:43

softer go hit some sand

25:46

[Music]

26:17

low speed no fan for quite a while yeah

26:20

she got a little

26:22

warm tell you what that is a workout to

26:26

ride um

26:28

still surprisingly easy it's just a big

26:32

bike and the faster you go the easier it

26:34

gets to ride but we don't exactly have a

26:37

lot of room for fast here especially

26:40

with this machine and you can go fast in

26:42

a little machine around here but this

26:44

A's huge yeah and it doesn't change

26:46

direction very quickly it doesn't look

26:48

if you try to accelerate quickly the

26:50

chain pops off MH stopping I mean both

26:53

the front and rear brakes work but

26:55

neither of them is like awesome exactly

26:58

exactly they're

26:59

both subpar grind heart certified brakes

27:03

they they do work they just don't lock

27:05

the tires up you got to really jam on

27:07

them so it's a 12T long Chopper so that

27:11

weighs probably 1,000

27:13

lb going to call that a

27:16

[Applause]

27:16

[Music]

27:23

win figured now that I've driven it we

27:26

got to know how much it weighs I keep

27:28

keep saying it's 1,000 lb but I have

27:29

absolutely no idea I'm going to go with

27:31

862 lb I'm going to go with 900 lb I

27:36

like to go with a random number cuz that

27:37

way it seems way more impressive when

27:39

you get it right uh

27:42

95.5 all right there we go all right I'm

27:46

thinking

27:48

840 all right I have a feeling we might

27:51

all be low

27:53

but you know who knows

28:01

[Music]

28:22

all right what's our

28:24

number 818 lb wow wow lighter than I

28:28

thought yeah that's actually not that

28:30

much uh-uh I was actually the closest

28:33

yeah darn it 818

28:37

lb well there you go it's an 800 lb

28:40

motorcycle but that's also not dry

28:42

weight that's wet weight or like damp

28:45

weight cuz it has coolant and oil but

28:48

not it only has like a gallon of gas so

28:50

yeah we'll call that mildly moist weight

28:54

[Music]
