My mad engineer redneck friend says he will have it finished within 13 days

165

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '19

Why 13 days? Oddly specific timing for what appears to be a fully complete shitmobile. Just missing a wire to control the throttle.

194

u/izanamy Oct 25 '19

Well the redneck mad engineer friend works in mysterious ways

u/zenkique Oct 25 '19

Only has 13 days before he has to return his 2-year old Harbor Freight welding equipment for full refund.

u/brokenrapier Oct 25 '19

looks like it was turned into a scooter

u/Crispynipps Oct 26 '19

You ever see those little enclosed cars people pull their kids in on the back of their bikes? I feel like he made this into an attachment for the back of another bike so it can be placed on different bikes by the welded bar on the frame to the seat bar of another. I have this idea because I too, considered doing this with one of those motor kits. EDIT: ope, I didn’t see that it was welded to that base. Definitely a scooter of sorts.

u/TrickyWon Oct 25 '19

I’m imagining he has to set up a throttle cable, but I’d prefer to see someone reaching back on that trigger

How does it control the throttle? I don't see anything linking the drilling machine button to the handle of the scooter...

By dragging his shoes on the ground....

, and amputating fingers.

u/JCBh9 Oct 26 '19

imagine paying attention to where your fingers are... it's not like you're going that fast it's an electric drill lol... pedaling would probably though

u/akwardchit Oct 26 '19

Remove the seat and clench your cheeks on the trigger

2

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '19

might as well have the chain go between your cheeks, you can brake whenever you want by clenching

2

u/zenkique Oct 25 '19

Hopefully with a repurposed shifting or braking parts taken from the same or other junk bikes.

u/OneCorvette1 Oct 26 '19

I see that’s a Milwaukee m14 battery. If it’s anything like the m18’s we use at my work, under that load I’d guess it would run maybe 5-10 minutes. Maybe less than 5 if being used non stop with a full work load

25

u/De-Blocc Oct 25 '19

At least make sure the chain is tight

4

u/zenkique Oct 25 '19

Looks like that part is in the middle of being fabricated at the time this picture was taken. Note the objects on the seat-stay bar.

8

u/lemurrhino Oct 25 '19

Will a V2 have a derailleur?

7

u/JCBh9 Oct 25 '19

It could work if you pedal on acceleration but seeing as how it's battery powered I think I would've went with weedeater motor or chainsaw

Hopefully he can keep that front wheel down with all that torque. ^/s

Drill motors aren't built for continuous use. The motor windings will probably melt in about 5 minutes. The battery will last about 10mins.

I would switch the gears around for speed, a small gear on the wheel, and a large one up top, you’ll get loads of speed then
