"copyright", "all rights reserved"......?!? Are you serious??hahahahaha...

[haassman]

that would be cool to have it set up right for sure, good luck and cool project!

[kforcool]

tuterial? id love to do something like that

[leafyism]

It's fast without a person on it.

[iamcyberpunk68]

no cool chief.

[jazz1035]

wtf?

[astaschak]

thats pretty cool man, a little pointless but it would be cool have.

[sharkattack2009]

thats cool

[Davide25084]

wtf??

[SuperSuperprodigy]

What's the point of having a rcpocket bike when u can actualy ride one?

[seawayhobby]

@SuperSuperprodigy It was just something to do. I wanted to see if it could be accomplished.

[SuperSuperprodigy]

@seawayhobby oh. how does it turn though

[gaspowerrules]

add a training wheel

[MrJetjoe]

yes I saw that after I wrote that , anyway look at any a R/C motercycle and there is a lot of offset in the triple clamps and they are on backwards.

[MrJetjoe]

there is a important detail that I have noticed between r/c and real bikes. the front end is put together backwards, the forktubes mounted behind the center axal just turn the triple clamps around for beter control and stable handling,

[seawayhobby]

@MrJetjoe If you look carefully you will notice that the triple clamps on a pocket bike are nearly identical no matter which way they are put on. Mine are stock as it was the easiest way to do it. The clamps do not have much of an angle tho them mounted backwards or fwd.

[dealwithit00000]

looks pretty cool, seems like you need some sort of weight leaning system to start your turns, like how an actual rider does it. or a setup to counter steer before the turn so the bike leans into it before hand.

[seawayhobby]

@dealwithit00000 Thanks, The weight leaning system is the weight of the bike itself, Yes the bike is set up for counter steering and works well as you can see.

[cxbra]

@dealwithit00000 You just have to turn earlier.. slight sterring input.. then full turn.

[seawayhobby]

Thanks again for the positive comments, Makes me want to do another project The way it stays upright is simple just the like a real bike...foreward motion.

[GADG3TB0Y]

worlds best gostie lol or ghost rider :P

[taz204]

nice

it's great to see some people who come up with these idea's and actually make it work

great stuff

[ken1ken2kenken]

Wow ! Amazing !

[garyfromtheUK]

hi man, cool vid, how did u get it to stay uprite?

[darkeyce02]

be neat to take this to a pocket bike race and try it against someone see how it does with no one on it

[seawayhobby]

Thanks appreciate it. Thinking about making some changes to it, Haven't figured out the details or if it will be feasible or not to attempt it.

[extramural]

Awesome effort. Well done. Goes good!

[seawayhobby]

Thanks ;)

[aanensenen]

haha cool !!

[RCcellar]

STRANGE is watching a full-grown man riding one of these "perfectly good bikes"... rock-on Seaway!

[seawayhobby]

Strange nahh...Nuts maybe. Its a good thing I didn't use an Italian pocket bike you would be very upset!! Not that I care. You have your opinion I have mine. I'm not a kid and 30-40mph riding on a pocket bike was not of any interest to me. This was a project and it turned out very well. I didn't do it to please anyone but myself, And to share with what is possible when one comes up with an idea. I feel sorry for you that you don't like someones creativity.

[rodasssss]

thats fucking strange!!!!and stupid mutch more fun to use it as a normal pocket bike in what you seat on it!!!you are ruining a perfectly good bike to race with or just to have fun riding it!!!

[seawayhobby]

enioamaro.... Thanks, Yes its needed to use a large scale high torque servo for the brakes. Only the rear brake is hooked up. I tried using both but it was much too difficult on the servo to pull both at the same time.

[enioamaro]

Nice work. For the brakes is necessary a large scale servo? Thanks.

[triggerhappyxxjohnxx]

that be awesome if it could pop whellies

[seawayhobby]

The bike balances just by using its fore ward movement. much like gyroscopic procession

[Danyl830wazzup]

how da bike can balance

[seawayhobby]

For steering servo I just used a standard size digital servo I think its rated at 72oz of torque. For the bike it doesn't require much force to make it lean over. Now for your project being its more like a large r/c car you might be looking at a large scale servo 200oz of torque or more.

Hope this helps.

[floatncoffee]

nice work man,,,

im currently converting a pocket atv to RC

what did you use for steering servo??

[seawayhobby]

Are you offering?? lol

[rebecca04kewell]

you shud get sum one to sit on it lol

[SonSeelye]

now that would be something to watch!!

[Loraggon]

You can now say you got a 1/5 scale rc bike! lol !

[seawayhobby]

A Prank...Every time I take the bike out it gets noticed that someone should be riding it. lol

I have not seen to many requests for more videos of this creation.

[wildthing986]

this would be an awsome prank to pull on some 1 lol

[seawayhobby]

Thanks appreciate it. It took about 1 month to complete. Was a challenge but as you can see the concept does work. If there is enough interest I may post my build slide show and my first attempts at controlling it.

[ssrc30]

Ya that would be awesome. I just got a giovanni but i am too big to ride it so i might wanna try a similar concept.

[ssrc30]

How the hell did you do that. That's awesome.
