In this video you see me making a DIY powerful electric three wheeled fat tyre tilting scooter powered by 4 hoverboard motors at home in my garage. The video contains the full build start to finish.
I added chapters below to easily navigate through the video.
It has a full tilting mechanism on the rear wheels (like a tilting trike), a mono front swingarm and full suspension.
Wheels are from a lawnmower tractor.
Frame is built from 20mm, 25mm and 35mm tube with 2mm wall thickness.
Suspension bushings and front wheel spindle are from an 110cc ATV I had laying around.
Steering mechanism is made out of old bicycle parts. I also added a steering damper to make it more stable.
The knobs to fill the tubes and all cable fasteners were 3D printed.
Technical details:
4 hoverboard motors 36v 350w
4 brushless motor controllers BLDC 48v 350w with hall sensor control and GT-100 display (aliexpress)
4 hoverboard lithium batteries 36v 4400mAh
top speed (with driver 65kg): 40 km/h on GPS
range: 12 km
tyresize: 16 x 7.50 - 8
