Small Lego Bike Gets Turned Into Giant Motorcycle With an Engine
A giant size Lego motorcycle has been created and tested for the first time
A Lego motorcycle has been turned into a giant, engine-powered two-wheeler using 3D-printed parts and it’s actually possible for someone to sit on it and ride it.
Here at Visordown we have brought you some of the craziest, most spectacular and unique custom builds from creators around the globe. But a Lego motorcycle with an engine… surely that tops it all, right?
Continuing his giant Lego motorcycle build with part two - watch part one below where Matt Denton fits the front Lego to a tyre - the British Youtuber goes through a raft of developments to produce this ‘Giant Monkey Lego Bike’, which he tests at the end of the video with special guest Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame. Denton meanwhile is known for being the man who built and operated droid BB-8 from the Star Wars universe.
Along with constructing the front of the bike in his previous video, Denton also tested the rear of the motorcycle whilst earlier this year at the EMF (Electromagnetic Field) camp which is a festival held every two years for engineers, scientists and all people who have a passion for technology. However, Denton ran into a few issues which meant he needed to strip the bike down before beginning his process of building this wild Lego motorcycle back up.
After building the frame first, all of which was printed, Denton then sets about attaching the foot pegs, and building the suspension and axle before fitting the wires to the E-bike controller battery. The forks were then attached after that but Denton soon ran into an issue when conducting his controller test, as the rear wheel spins backwards as opposed to forwards.
When the electric power is set and ready, and the rear tyre is going in the right direction, the bike has a small problem, which is that it can’t resist doing wheelies. Nervous to ride the bike, Denton continues to try and control this Lego beast. One of the finishing touches includes fitting a headlight before taking the Lego motorcycle out for its outside debut, where he rides it on a tennis court.
After reaching a top speed of 10mph, Denton is less than impressed by the turning of the bike and brakes. Denton’s nephew then has a go and maxes out with 10.5mph. Then enter Adam Savage, with the American up next to test the bike, and to say he’s blown away is an understatement.
