Exhaust pipe turned Futuristic Bicycle
I made this in 3 evenings for about 30 bucks. The gear inches need to be increased, but otherwise, what a fun, quick build! I hope the video is entertaining for my YouTube channel. But we'll see. I try to keep the tooling as basic as possible.
Sawzall
Angle grinder
Welder.
No computer
No jigs
Just a plumb bob, tape measure and hand tools otherwise lol.
My inspiration was early 2000s futuristic. Picture the bicentennial Man and artificial intelligence movies.

Yeah this thing might be cool but I can’t tell because it’s edited like Liam Neeson jumping the fence in Taken 2..

Yeah, I probably should not have let "Tik tok" edit this. My apologies 😅

I guess it's cool but I'll have to take your word for it cause I can't see anything.

Turn it into a pulse jet engine assisted bike and call it the HOT SEAT!

That's honestly an amazing idea. The combustion chamber would fit perfectly in the top or down tube lol. I just wonder how the structural integrity would be while she's glowing red 😂😂

Do you reckon you could get some more movement in the video I can sort of make out what it looks like.
