I'm taking this all-wheel drive electric
[1]
scooter and mounting a jet engine on the
[3]
back just like that because even though
[6]
this thing is ridiculously fast the way
[8]
it sits I am genuinely curious to see
[10]
how crazy and insane this scooter feels
[13]
under jet power it looks pretty sick
[14]
I've ridden a lot of scooters they're
[16]
pretty weak compared to this this thing
[19]
is an absolute Beast all-wheel drive
[21]
all-terrain tires hydraulic disc brakes
[23]
front and rear keypad lock once I wrote
[26]
it I was like man this thing is so much
[27]
fun
[32]
two-wheel drive
[35]
well that was a struggle but I made it
[38]
up that climb that was like a 40 degree
[40]
that's how steep that was in about a
[42]
50-foot climb I put this thing in two
[44]
wheel drive and zero start mode which
[46]
means it applies power from a stop up I
[49]
went this thing even helped me climb
[50]
that was pretty cool
[53]
wow this is gonna be great
[61]

[99]
thank you
[105]
[Applause]
[108]
[Music]
[113]
it fits so perfect it clicks right in
[118]
[Music]
[123]
[Applause]
[128]
here's where I'm at I'm all done
[130]
mounting a jet engine came out much
[132]
better than I thought it would this was
[134]
a lot of design and Fabrication work and
[135]
I'm not done yet I still have to design
[137]
and fabricate the fuel tanks hook up the
[139]
fuel system all the electronics and then
[142]
fire it up this is the tubing that I'm
[144]
going to be using for the fuel tanks
[145]
it's three inch schedule 40 aluminum
[148]
pipe

[152]
[Music]
[161]
[Music]
[187]
foreign
[188]
[Music]
[197]
I think it came out pretty good
[199]
everything's finished I made the tanks
[201]
all the electronics are hooked up it's
[203]
pretty much ready to go the only thing
[205]
I'm going to do later is 3D print an
[207]
enclosure for all the electronics and
[208]
the throttle cable I also added a DC to
[211]
DC converter to take the voltage from
[214]
the onboard battery and knock it down to
[216]
a voltage that can be used to control
[217]
the Jet Engine and all the electronics
[219]
so the only thing left to do is take it
[222]
out hit the road see how it drives and
[224]
see how fast I can get it up to before I
[226]
get scared
[227]
[Applause]
[228]
I just arrived at my first test location
[231]
I chose this sort of suburban ghetto
[234]
neighborhood if you will I think it'll
[235]
be a good ride and I'm not really sure
[237]
what to expect this turbine has a lot of
[239]
power and I've never ridden a jet
[242]
powered scooter before I was gonna bring
[243]
my helmet but of course I forgot it I do
[246]
have my gloves though let's see what
[248]
happens
[260]
hmm
[265]
[Music]
[279]
all right we're ready to go let's do it
[285]
[Music]
[299]
[Music]
[316]
there we go again
[335]
a little shaky
[341]
foreign
[347]
[Music]
[353]
[Music]
[374]
I was legit oh just ran out of fuel
[378]
right now
[379]
oh that was great
[381]
so I got up to like
[383]
man this thing's just uh it's too fast
[386]
like the brakes feel good but they're
[388]
kind of grabby oh man it's a lot of fun
[391]
that's for sure and it's it's a weird
[392]
sensation it feels smoother than
[395]
electric it just feels like somebody's
[397]
pushing you like a cushion like on a
[399]
cloud and you're just going faster
[400]
faster I didn't even feel like I was
[402]
going 62 then once I see how fast the
[404]
trees are passing me I realize I'm going
[406]
fast I really had to lower my center of
[408]
gravity to make those turns at that
[410]
speed because man it felt like I felt
[412]
like the scooter wanted to go that way
[414]
and uh definitely won't be trying this
[416]
in go-kart mode with this jet engine
[418]
next thing I'm going to do I'm gonna
[419]
head to that straight away and see what
[421]
kind of top speed I can get and if
[423]
you're wondering why I'm yelling because
[426]
oh man there it goes right there hearing
[428]
protection oh now I can hear better
[430]
that's next let's go
[438]
I'm here at my second location which is
[441]
a two mile long straight away really
[444]
smooth there's a couple of bumps here
[445]
and there I did stop in between and pick
[447]
up my helmet I'm just gonna start off on
[450]
one end here
[451]
start the scooter up and just see how
[453]
fast I can get either hitting the top
[456]
speed or hitting the speed fast enough
[459]
or I feel that it's unsafe so that's
[461]
what I'm gonna do next let's do it and
[463]
for this run I'm gonna be running Hydro
[465]
diesel I'm Gonna Leave links in the
[467]
description below to this fuel as well
[469]
as the scooter because uh everybody
[471]
asked me about this fuel that I use I
[473]
really like it because it burns super
[475]
clean there's no black smoke like the
[477]
regular diesel even in the engine it
[479]
just smells cleaner
[486]
[Applause]
[491]
thank you
[523]
thank you
[546]
[Music]
[558]
foreign
[562]
ly it looks like the scooter is limiting
[566]
it to about 62 or 63 and then it's
[570]
applying some sort of regent braking or
[573]
something I'm gonna try it one more time
[575]
uh with the scooter off and see what
[578]
happens I just don't have a GPS or
[579]
anything with me to track
[581]
but I'm just gonna feel it and see if it
[583]
feels a little bit faster with the
[585]
scooter off
[586]
but I won't have a reading for the uh
[589]
for the speedometer so try it one more
[591]
time
[626]
thank you
[631]
[Music]
[653]
and much smoother
[658]
power line
[664]
all right
[666]
that was pretty fun unfortunately I
[669]
couldn't measure the speed because I had
[670]
no GPS and I couldn't fly the Drone it
[673]
was just too windy but it was definitely
[675]
faster without the scooter on for sure
[678]
there's some regen going on with the
[680]
scooter because the first time when I
[683]
would hit the brakes it would kind of
[684]
pulsate and then once I turned the
[686]
scooter off and did this run right now
[688]
and you hit the brakes it was super
[690]
smooth it looks like the brakes are
[692]
hydraulic and there's also some sort of
[694]
little cable there maybe that goes to
[697]
some sort of pressure sensor I'm not
[699]
really sure but that makes sense I guess
[700]
that's tied into the regenerative
[702]
braking and uh yeah that looks like it
[705]
was holding back my top speed in the
[707]
previous run and I got it up to as fast
[710]
as I felt safe because the front wheel
[712]
started doing this like death wobble I
[715]
felt if I did any faster I would wipe
[717]
out for sure so hopefully you enjoyed
[719]
that video hopefully you enjoyed the
[720]
Jeff Power Scooter I built most of these
[723]
projects not because I like building jet
[725]
powered scooters but to to inspire
[727]
everybody to get up and do something
[729]
with yourself learn some skills build
[732]
stuff and have fun so let me know what
[735]
you want the next project to be I'm
[737]
probably going to do some slow motion
[738]
videos or something like that next and
[740]
then jump into another build and this
[742]
scooter here for anybody wondering is a
[745]
Fido beast and this thing was an
[747]
absolute Beast what a champ of a scooter
[750]
I mean this thing was amazing not only
[753]
did everything fit perfectly on the
[754]
scooter but I use this scooter all the
[757]
time to go get groceries run errands and
[759]
I'm going to continue to use it after I
[761]
take the jet engines off I couldn't
[763]
recommend a better scooter so I'm going
[765]
to leave a link in the description below
[766]
as well as a discount code to this and
[769]
again this is an on-road off-road
[772]
scooter all-wheel drive selectable this
[775]
breaks front and rear obviously I found
[777]
out in this test here that it does in
[779]
fact have regenerative braking because
[781]
like I said when I turn the scooter off
[783]
it became super super smooth and I
[785]
couldn't feel any region thought
[787]
completely different that's pretty good
[789]
to know I was wondering if it had regen
[791]
or not now I know it does so I'll leave
[793]
a link in the description below for
[794]
anybody that's interested in this or
[796]
just wants to take a look again this is
[798]
the final beast and one thing I did want
[801]
to mention is that that Hydro diesel it
[804]
was pretty interesting did you see the
[806]
difference in the way the engine started
[807]
from the jet fuel in the first test to
[810]
the hydro diesel in this test it didn't
[813]
smell like Diesel and it didn't smell
[815]
like jet fuel it smelled a little sweep
[818]
it seemed to make a little bit more
[819]
power than the jet fuel let me know what
[822]
you think in the comments below thanks
[824]
for watching
[825]
see in our next video
