  • Hey guys, just wanted to say that the reason for the bouncing up and down is due to the change in leverage. Since one of the wheels is further back it has more mechanical advantage over the suspension due to the increased distance of the swingarm
  • @ZipKickGo
    Hey guys, self appointed B&B R&D Engineer here: I think part of the issue is the transition of one tire to the other. Perhaps in the example videos, their design wasn't a precisely half of a wheel but instead 60% (or something) so that both tires would have larger contact with pavement during transition. Right now with tires being 50% there's only the ends of the tire touching pavement and essentially squishing because there isn't the same distribution of weight as say the centre of the half tire compared to the end of a half tire. So perhaps the solution is to make the tire completely solid somehow so it doesn't squish and create a hop; that or a combination of cutting the wheel at 60%. BUT WAIT, there's more, MAYBE the suspension itself is an added obstacle and simply making it a hard tail like a road bicycle would remove the need to work around the suspension.

    on the bounce. the longer the frame, the more sag you have in in. your frame is going from 5 ft to 6 ft and back again, constantly. not to mention the tips of the tires aren't properly supported and so will bend more than the uncut middle adding even more bounce and reducing the time you have before the tire overheats from flexing.
  • @chriswas6614
    Guys you shouldn’t have cut the tires completely in half only a 3rd of each wheel should have been cut out, other than that please try this again 👍
  • @NeoJSsk
    just wanted to say that the most posible reason for the bouncing is due to lack of Blinker Fluid, very common on those bikes 👌
  • @BSB333
    I think you guys achieved making a motorcycle feel like you're riding a horse again.
  • @syttorak7629
    You guys rock, pure humor along with ingenuity.. can't beat it. You really should ride into the local dealer. I need you guys to check out my bike I think something's wrong with it it's not riding smooth anymore.
  • @mrselenio
    the suspension is engineered for a specific swing arm length, when you transition to the half wheel in the farthest back the swing arm is basically longer and the lever effect on the suspension is greater, so it compresses more and so on.
  • @bobeyes3284
    The suspension will compress more when the weight is being suspended on the different axles. It's like holding a weight close to your body and then trying to hold the same weight at arm's length. The only fix that springs to my mind is to in some way have the 2 rear wheels have independent suspension. That way, you can adjust each to compensate for the differing load.
  • @GearShifter925
    Guys you all Are FUNNY 🤣😂😂😂 I LAUGHED ALOT ON YOUR EVERY CONVERSATIONS WITH EACH OTHERS....!!!!! Man....my stomach ache due to too much laughing....😅😅
  • @650kp
    I’m loving this motorcycle/e-bike/emoto side of YouTube… y’all are crazy man
  • Instead of cutting the tires where you want them leave a bit more rubber on each end then bend that piece back so the loss of contact with the ground is more gradual. Also suspension to the end would keep it in contact better. Excellent video
  • This was amazing! The bumpiness is due to the two wheels exert different leverages on the swingarm due to different distances from the fulcrum (point of rotation). Thus the spring compresses more when the weight of the bike is on the wheel that is farther away from the fulcrum, and less when the weight is on the closer wheel.
  • @looseygoosey1927
    Your rearmost wheel has to be in line with the swing arm. Youll have to find exact centre where the swing arm rotates on the frame and have it in line with that and the other wheel
  • @patriot2135
    That is truly remarkable. You have managed to bring back the galloping effect of riding a horse while achieving the speed of a modern motorcycle. I am impressed. 🙃 LOL. If you can market this you will reach two markets at the same time....The Equestrian community and the Motor Sports community. The real challenge is to make it look and feel like a horse on one half and a modern motorcycle on the other half. I'll leave it to you to decide which half to change. Respect. Keep doing what you do. It is a lot of fun to follow along. God Bless
  • @Mr.NiceGuy80
    That's a pretty genius horse simulator you've made there. Gotta dress it up to look like a mini horse. Hilarious.

    I see someone actually drilling a pilot hole? Automatically 10x better than any others channel in this lane

    I think you achieved making a motorcycle feel like you're riding a very fantastic bike
