This is the goped I've been building the last few months. It's spindle driven and it's pretty fast. It's easy to build but you need to weld. Or you can mount the spindle at the flywheel. Special thanks to gijs. He helped me a lot with the spindle and he helped making the engine run!

check out my other videos about this goped.

  • i made one for my daughter when the cheapest was about £600 in the uk years ago get a helmet though you'll end up like special ed if you fall off

  • It goes only 35 kilometers an hour so in Holland you don't need to wear a helmet with that speed

  • that looks like a lot of fun to make and it would keep you bizzy for a long time. but that cheap thing is probably going to have major issues in the future. but if your on a budget then this is better than nothing right? good job

  • you're right, the bearing inside the engine is carying all the weight because the spindle is pushed on the rear tire. And it is at his end. But I've drivin over 1200 kilometers and it still works.

  • 3.5 hp ?

  • U should bore out the piston and carb

  • Hi! I want to ask you about the brakes. I have the idea of making a goped and thought about using this type of bicycle brakes. What can you tell me about it, does it brake ok?, I mean are they suitable for a city use? I don't want to ride it at high speeds, but, you know, a good pair of brakes is necessary.

  • very very nice dude i love the construction of it its built to last! and built well. looks like a perfect machine to get you were you need to go. but it not a go ped, its just a motor scooter!

  • mate that looks beast an nice homemade goped

  • i made one and used a 31cc bolens weedeater motor and it only cost me 19 dollars

  • u may be happy on it but imagine what normal people think of you ...

  • @Cowboy332344 so because "legally"u dont need a helmet you think that will magically stop the concrete from smashing your face when/if you ever crash?

  • @LvBioDream get a used cheap electric scooter and either buy a old yard equipment motor or get one off ebay or sometrhing

  • Nice job! Have you considered sticking a tuned pipe of some description on? i'm sure that would give you a nice power boost and maybe make it slightly less noisy.
