You should put a T handle to hold onto and fix the controls to . That way you have something to hold onto and use upper body weight to help steer as well . I bit more power and I bet you could get that thing really flying and a bit safer .
Nah IMO anything rigid that's constrained to the deck defeats the purpose. The main reason it's cool is it forces you to use your balance to control it. Otherwise it's just a scooter or an open cabin car which is cool too but not the same. Plus the easier it is to maneuver the higher the chance of doing something dumb.
@@JJFX- I agree with all that . Just suggesting a small compromise to make it more user friendly . Skateboards don't typically have engines or brakes either ...so ...compromises have already been made to make this function.
Vlad mentioned personal protective equipment, which is good. Somebody else mentioned a "dead man switch", to shut it off and apply the brake if the rider falls off. I was thinking that too. The idea of a harness is an excellent one, and I wish I'd thought of it. The reason it wants to roll and turn on acceleration is the engine's crankshaft runs fore and aft. When the engine accelerates, it increases the torque on the crankshaft but it also increases the counter-torque on the crank case. That forces one side of the deck down, and the trucks translate that into a turn. If the crankshaft ran side to side, it wouldn't try to turn on acceleration. It would try to lift one end of the board, but that would not affect the turning behavior of the board. I am waiting with bated breath to see what Long Board v2.0 brings.
I think you may be wrong about why it turns on acceleration. It’s the differential turning only one wheel so when you accelerate the drive wheel pushes forward making it lean. Weld the gears to make it positrac and I think it will solve the problem.
Aren't the engine and driveline mounted to the axle though? So the board shouldn't torque-steer at all, right? (Seems like an important and intentional design feature to me...) I think the board steers more with throttle only because that also means the wheels will be rolling, which reduces steering effort - much like operating a tractor/truck/etc that lacks power steering.
@@sparcnut with a differential, only one wheel is putting power to the ground while the other is freewheeling. The powered wheel will naturally pull that side forward and with this type of steering mechanism, it will cause it to lean in the direction of the drive wheel. Welding the gears so both wheels pull together will eliminate the problem.
This is so much nostalgia for me! I remember when I was like 15 or so, I bought this motorized longboard (2-Stroke too, back in the day) and I had so much fun with it! It was very unsafe, very fast and an absolute blast to drive! It fucked up my entire back at one point because me, being smart, thought that a t-shirt was perfectly adequate protection. 🤣 Thank you so much for making this!
This is "hands down" one of the coolest inventions I have ever seen (legit) as an amateur skateboarder. I think you should definitely patent this! For a little less board roll, you could try a spring resistance system like a mountain longboard 💯👍👏🙋
Always better than almost all the American automotive youtube channels. The only one who does more interesting or crazy things is probably Whistlindiesel.
Absolutely amazing! Also, no need to do a voiceover, hearing it in Russian and with the music naturally, but with a subtitle option, would be way better.
If you install a handlebar then you've turned it into a scooter and could call it that in the video. It also needs scuff pads to make your shoes less likely to slide. This is pure Garage 54 with the 2-stroke and cable grips, but I wouldn't be surprised if another channel made one with an electric motor and battery so that it's more powerful and quieter. I didn't think it would turn very well, but it's actually quite good. Kudos to the guys for figuring this one out as they went.
Awesome fun. Great job guys. Ever thought about making something that fly's? Remember those toy tethered planes that took off and landed while attached to a pole/post. If you based it on a Lada it would need a lot of weight shedding and still need a lot of lift. Not sure if it's even possible but if anyone can, Vlad can.
have you guys ever tried dynamically balancing a car tire with beads or golf balls instead of lead weights? I've seen it done with trucks but not a car.
Some springs or bushings to help it return to center, and adjusting the ratio on the steering may help. For now it wants to fall into a turn and takes a lot of lean for a little turning.
The skateboard needs a certain suspension where it works stiffly when you balance in the center but once you lean to the left or right it automatically knows to move over
You guys should add wedges of wood to stand on, similar to how the edges of a skateboard are slightly taller than the center. It may make the "roll" more manageable.
rig a steering rack to the frame with some sort of handle bar through the board that you pull left or right to tilt and attach brake / gas controls to . would also be something to hold on to . :) good work guys!
Very nice accomplishment, guys. It's really cool, and I've never seen anything like it before . Would like to see what y'all can accomplish with part two of this .
I have an idea for the seat. That’s one hell of a sport. The seat lay back with a nice tube to support it. Futuristic stuff. And a front windows. To protect the front with bars guard
if u put a Handel on the centre of that skateboard to mount the throttle and brake, it will become more easier and even more fun to ride. btw great work👍
I love that guys...but maybe you should put a handlebar somewhere at the middle maybe from a bike, and put those controls on it, in that way you'll have better control and stability...😊😊
wow this is a well thought out idea and could be a sensation down the road. looks like it could be patented it is clean and well put together. just need to practice safety while riding it great job guys.
Great design, all you nead is safety cables front and back so you can focus on turning and brake as hard as you can, like have a harnes on you and cables holding you in place from rolling back and from tipping foreward, then you can upgrade that engine, the breaking force and really have some fun with that thing. Hope to see a part two on this, you will never fall off if you had cables.
Hydraulic (or cable wrapped around a tube using a steering wheel) tilt steering for better control. Mount maybe 4 passenger seats (+driver) and you'll have a skateboard taxi. And about 20 more HP.
This is so badass. You guys have become damn good at quick fabrication work. I think you've created a monster with this one and a lot of channels will be popping up with their own designs in no time. Hell, I'd be tempted to make one if I had the time.
This is legit very practical if the steering becomes easier (wheel) and you add a seat with belt. Just those 2 changes should make it safe to go at much higher speeds and probably some weight reduction would help a lot too. Maybe some steel bumpers for good measure, a plate place and signaling to make it street legal and that'd make me and a bunch of people get one. Simply because it's easy to repair, minimalistic in what it has and very good for parking with the double axle steering. I hate bikes because they're with 2 wheels, but if a bike-like simple car exists with 4 wheels i want it.
Great stuff, guys! One suggestion to make it easier to control is to use hydraulics to control the roll. The hydraulics can be controlled by two valves on some pedals you step on.
Add the textured foot surface for better grip and control... stand in a different position to get better performance and reaction once the familiarity increases...
Definitely needs some spaced out foot locks like on snowboards. Wide enough and in the right stance and you can easily lean onto one foot to turn. Also, id love to see the turn radius vs a car!
Make an electric version for more torque 👍 Also thinner wheels might help with weight and more movement. Also a kill switch to stop it from rolling forward if / when u fall off like those cables on a treadmill :D
Looks pretty damn fun. To upgrade, cover the center standing area in anti-slip grip tape, upgrade he steel cables to wider ropes with a triangle-kinda handle at the end, mount each of them as far to their respective side as possible and you should have pretty stable riding stance for higher speeds.
They need something like boot straps on skis to lock their feet into the board. It would make it much easier to control direction and also safer as well.
Needs wheel arche covers or someone's gonna get noodled through the gaps around the rear wheels. Needs a padded post about waist high you can lean against when breaking. Beyond that, the contraption is perfect. I'd call this Super Moto Surfing.
Using some type of a progressive shock, so the harder you try turning the more resistance there is a progressive setup might help fix the you are talking about.
Garage 54 NEVER dissapoints !!!! Nice contraption !!!!.
*disappoints
I'm not going to lie you can probably make 100 of them and sell out in a week
I'd buy one
Me too
I remember seeing a giant one down under
You had better not lie! Looks like we all want to try one 👍
Word!
Legitimately looks like a fun ride. Some safety equipment and a dedicated place and I bet you could do pretty fast speed without feeling in danger.
A helmet maybe 😂
a helmet, maybe straps to put your feet in. maybe a shirt too, asphalt burns hurt like hell
You should put a T handle to hold onto and fix the controls to . That way you have something to hold onto and use upper body weight to help steer as well . I bit more power and I bet you could get that thing really flying and a bit safer .
getting it 'flying' should not be the goal
That’s a scooter. 🛴
I think that makes it no more a skateboard. Their execution was perfect!

Wow - G54 should build these and set up a new class of motor racing 👍👍 I'd love to see SkateCar racing.
This channel is great
Two shocks on each axle would make the unit easier to control. It would slow the immediate reaction to positional changes. Excellent post, as usual.
Yeah! You're right! On a skateboard the whole system is sprung and dampened by the poly bushing. It returns to center when released.
Garage54 NEVER dissapoints!! This is your best contraption built ever

So true, this is actually amazing. If they could understand each other, WhistlinDiesel and Garage35 should collaborate
Whistlin diesel is a crackhead and car hater.
To compare him with garage54 should get you in jail
@@fluffsquirrelHow dare you.
You definitive Lack of taste
perhaps one of the BEST videos of Garage 54. Awesome not some shoddy stuff !!
Just when I think I've seen it all...
Welcome to Garage 54 😂
Braille Skateboarders need to try this👍🏼
!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been watching these guys for years you never know what they are gonna do next !!
Absolutely amazing! Also, no need to do a voiceover, hearing it in Russian and with the music naturally, but with a subtitle option, would be way better.

It needs to start off level like a skateboard, and return to level after turning..a skateboard doesn't stay tilted.....I love it! Very cool!
Awesome fun. Great job guys. Ever thought about making something that fly's? Remember those toy tethered planes that took off and landed while attached to a pole/post. If you based it on a Lada it would need a lot of weight shedding and still need a lot of lift.
Not sure if it's even possible but if anyone can, Vlad can.
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
actually, if you lay down on it, with head forward, and drove it like a bobsleigh would probably be fun :)
Awesome! Best one yet! I think there could be an international market for these big skateboards; Races, obstacle courses, etc. Great one guys!
have you guys ever tried dynamically balancing a car tire with beads or golf balls instead of lead weights? I've seen it done with trucks but not a car.
Warped perception did it recently

very cool design!
Very human
Some springs or bushings to help it return to center, and adjusting the ratio on the steering may help. For now it wants to fall into a turn and takes a lot of lean for a little turning.
Now all they need is grip tape and fenders for safety
10:42 "anyone wanna try this out?"
"We're good."
That's just way too cool!!! Congrats!!!
I love this channel. Interesting experiments done well and with humour
You guys should tour this to some places! People would get a big kick out of it!
You guys are just badass! You guys are hacks , but also precision at the same time! Nobody compares to 54Garage!
The skateboard needs a certain suspension where it works stiffly when you balance in the center but once you lean to the left or right it automatically knows to move over
That was awesome, and a lot of fun! Thank you!
Your are so totally mad I just love it.😂
Amazing build!!!!
Springs to both push back on roll torque and to help self center it
@9:00 area, I can see some snowboard bindings would help out staying mounted good and safely!
You guys should add wedges of wood to stand on, similar to how the edges of a skateboard are slightly taller than the center. It may make the "roll" more manageable.
you guys are crazy! i love it!
rig a steering rack to the frame with some sort of handle bar through the board that you pull left or right to tilt and attach brake / gas controls to . would also be something to hold on to . :) good work guys!
Brilliant. You should be exporting these. And using it without a skid lid... hardcore.
It needs a little podium to help hold you upright. Attach the brakes and throttle to the podium. Like a bicycle handles, but it's fixed to the board.
Very nice accomplishment, guys. It's really cool, and I've never seen anything like it before . Would like to see what y'all can accomplish with part two of this .
"Shut up and take my money!!!"
LOL seriously tho that looks fun af!
Your imagination and ingenuity is always on display. Your team are amazing talents. Love the videos
I have an idea for the seat. That’s one hell of a sport.
The seat lay back with a nice tube to support it. Futuristic stuff. And a front windows. To protect the front with bars guard
Handles and grit-tape it's like sandpaper (keeps feet from slipping off the board) for skateboards, steps, pool areas, bathtubs, and other areas.
if u put a Handel on the centre of that skateboard to mount the throttle and brake, it will become more easier and even more fun to ride. btw great work👍
This is An absolute new trend..
This tops at all you guys are gonna make money with this, You guys are gonna be building these for people❤❤❤
I love that guys...but maybe you should put a handlebar somewhere at the middle maybe from a bike, and put those controls on it, in that way you'll have better control and stability...😊😊
wow this is a well thought out idea and could be a sensation down the road. looks like it could be patented it is clean and well put together. just need to practice safety while riding it great job guys.
That's a great design, but how about a wireless control for comfortability.❤❤
Seems very nice. Should have some torsion suspension. Maybe made of rubber. To keep it upright.
That turned out great. Now you need to patent it and sell them all over the world!

Use Spring/Damper combinations from a motorbike instead of the car dampers.
Also increase the Tire pressure to reduce the drag.
This what we call a grown skate board 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
nice drone skills
Add the textured foot surface for better grip and control... stand in a different position to get better performance and reaction once the familiarity increases...
I am definetly a bad welder, but jeeeesus... these videos make me look like a pro with 40 years of experience.
Good Ruski 👍 👍 ingenuity just like the mig

Amazing. Handles, and tune the two stroke exhaust pipe - it's not getting in the power band.
This is so beautiful - it made my day - you did an absolut great job!!! I like that you bring even crazy ideas to life! 🥰
From America This is a cool shop I hope we can all get along ..We are very similar people should have metal bar in center to steer
have been blown away by the competence of your crew. Very skilled set of lads!
That was awesome build.. only thing i would add is foot stops.. on each side.. so you can't slide too far one way by accident or if it gets wet..
Make an electric version for more torque 👍 Also thinner wheels might help with weight and more movement. Also a kill switch to stop it from rolling forward if / when u fall off like those cables on a treadmill :D

What a lovely way to get around the ‘NO SKATEBOARDING’ signs!🤪
Edit: what a great build! Go ahead and make more of this!🤪
That’s insane and I love it 😂
You guys are amazing. Well done.
Very nice work. I was thinking you could add truck bed spray liner to add grip and it would look like grip tape.
They need something like boot straps on skis to lock their feet into the board. It would make it much easier to control direction and also safer as well.

Using some type of a progressive shock, so the harder you try turning the more resistance there is a progressive setup might help fix the you are talking about.
You guys are amazing Everytime I watch a new episode I am truly amazed
This needs to be a competitive sport ASAP.
Muad'Dib Muad'Dib! Muad'Dib!
so awesome. dune irl.
could make it motor actuated, so you can use 2 rods like in dune, to control the steering ;)
All l can say l am super impressed this most insane motorised device you have ever made and how the motorised long board works
that's awesome!
Put the cords to the outside for better turning instead of in the middle
Awesome! Add a gyroscope to keep the balance and stability
Brilliant. And it looks so good.
I'll bet these young fellas think they're the luckiest men alive. Just making fun things all day.
A leaning post like on fishing boats will give lots of stability. And, it won't take away from the cool looks.
That was awesome! Great build 54
THE BEST THING YOU BUILT BY FAR.
