Weird theories and ideas thread! any ideas welcome

glow wheels

Ps those weird hoverboard kart conversions are weirdly fun to control.

If I was a paraplegic thrill seeker, that would be my ride of choice. Wonder if you could make a decent one out of 2 onewheel hubs.

Never charged it inside or without my supervision but I did buy the one that comes in a fireproof bag.

I think recumbent bikes look extremely uncomfortable. That said: go kart build on the frame of one with 2 ebike motors and controls like that.

@ZachTetra figured this belonged over here instead. What if you just bolted a whole fuckin truck on the end of the stick, drive train and all?

did you build that yourself? how’s it feel?

It’s only a prototype. I haven’t built it yet. I want to get this laser cut by sendcutsend and weld it together.

I mean that would work, but it might wobble a lot since there’s no real resistance to it twisting on its own

I’d rather have 2 wheels inline with a pivoting anchor to the shaft

i wonder if the wobbles would actually matter, though. the stick would wobble, but, since its not attached to the board i dont think the wobbles would actually hit you. still, low profile is better. could be an easy way to test run the idea, though. a foot powered brake might be a good idea, too. im not so sure about braking with a paddle.

I don’t think it would cause issues, but it would be uncomfortable

Board side brakes would be a big help for sure, my analog MTB has them but none of my longboards anymore

pure vaporware by the look of it, but one of these almost went production for a while there.

Yup that’s the inspiration!

They were 2/3 there, if you ask me. Designed one for land, and one for water. Paging Dr @Fosterqc, I don’t need one in Florida, but, throw some treads on that bitch

Tank treads or treaded tires?

Tank; intended for snowboards. Or, if split into two smaller models, skiers. Although, down here, I could maybe sand surf on a deck with that, no wheels required… I want one now.
