This is so ridiculous and original im actually shocked, no wonder you were absolutely hammered when u came up with that idea. I wouldn't be surprised if this project blows you up so much you become like top 3 car channel worldwide or something.
I really fuckin hope so!
there content is in leagues higher then there fanbase. hopefully they get the recognition they deserve which could lead to abit more project funds
@@tokassl2344 i remember when i first found them, i was blown away by how few subs they had. Its peak youtube.
If you actually do this, it will genuinely be the funniest thing ever built. 😂 I wonder how that's going to be roadworthy
even if its going to spend its life on lawetka and car shows I think its worth it
They are in Poland......the cops will find that cool too haha
@@simoneigner9863 i think you don't know Mr police in Poland 😅
@@rakos9590 yeah haha I know they aren't THAT chill.....but I like to exaggerate.....bc I know Mr. Police in Austria and Germany very well. I don't think I have to say any more😅😂
If? Bigmikemuniz in American just put a haybusa motor in a Toyota publica… booom
I guess its their biggest troll ever, but since they already put Kevin inside their house for christmas i think they 're not joking
I'm slightly hoping that they are joking but at the same time the idea to put the motorbike inside of the car is really funny
I bet it's a joke too
@@onionridetv nahhh it’s dope y’all trippin
Can't wait to see the finished project. Going to be sick.
You should not forget, that the engine needs to be cooled. Without any kind of wind the engine dies from heat at no time.
Crazy duct system would look cool on it and make it even crazier.
@@wastirator__5413 Yeah, thats right. And there is already a big hole in the floor to be used for it.
@@bumpopanterodt865 with widebody they can do narly jet/bosozoku styled 80s af side ducts and exit at the rear with exhaust 🤣🤣🤣
@@wastirator__5413 No matter what, it's going to be awesome.
@@bumpopanterodt865 agree
I like the bike being white or a different color than the body. It makes it pop a bit more as the heart of the car as opposed to blending in too much. Also could you mount the bike to a kind of push rod suspension so that the tail of the bike goes up and down too? That way you aren't stuck with a hard tail car lol. Or just use the bike's rear suspension?
@Mavco / hopefully the weight difference can be countered
Agreed, painting it the same color would be a mistake. A color like white makes it pop from the inside
I think it's a massive testament to the originality (and the craziness) of your idea that noone guessed it until you told us. As someone who usually overthinks shit and needs to have everything figured out before starting something big, I can't help but to have respect for you guys' ballls-to-the-wall approach. Much luck with the build, you'll surely need it with a project this crazy.
if you look at the comments, hella people guessed it
@@KABOBkabob All the ones of that nature that I read were either drivetrain swap related or just saying they would put the bike in the car as like a jack-in-the-box kind of ''we have a van that perfectly fits the bike'' kind of thing.
Even if I missed the comments that guessed it (which if probably the case), I doubt all too many people were either enlightened, drunk or high enough to guess the exact execution outlined in this video.
@@someguy4576 yeah there werent too many comments but by the time the video actually dropped i was 95% sure about it. because i am a genius.
Remember to mount a big radiator and fans where the old engine used to be, and duct it to the bike so that it stays cool. Going to have to make a custom exhaust too. Also, I am hoping you guys wont absolutely fry the clutch with all the extra weight it has to move.
Think you just listed off things for them to consider 🤣
Kevin is pretty light weight as far as i know. Clutch will definitely feel his weight but i don't think that much as we think rn.
So dumb
This is awesome, could I suggest taking the front wheel out, and creating a bracket to put the spindle (the thing that goes through the forks and holds the wheel in) through, so then the bike is much less likely to move and is solid in place. This is an insane idea and I cant wait to see how it comes out!
I had the same idea bro!!
And i think it is going to make the build much more rigid and they will have some extra space in the front
I was thinking the same exact thing
i also thought this but think about how it would take away from the style of it
@@juliusxavier8279 maybe to keep the style, the bracket can be the wheel, basically just fix the wheel completely in place, bike can still be removed if need be too as wheel can be removed from forks
This feels like kevin would become a hotwheels van. The idea just seems crazy, hope the process it not going to be too difficult. Im hyped to see the project
Awsome idea!
I once had a racebike and switched the shifting upside down, so on the racetrack it was first gear up, the rest down
And no I have a chopper/bobber where I tried to make a suicide clutch. (Didn’t work out)
So i have experience when I say:
When you are going to bring the clutch to the front: keep in mind that right now it is made for your foot…
When you replace the gear leaver, you also lengthen the movement to get in a different gear MASSIVLY!! Like what one you could do with your foot (5-10cm of movement) can instantly turn in a 100cm movement (un do-able when you are behind the wheel)
I hop you understand what I mean, otherwise hit me up. I can send a movie to your mail
I have an idea: what about cutting the rear floor and mounting the bike lower, so you can use the rear swingarm of the bike making it work like the quad one: you can solve "suspension and drivetrain" problem.
Also, with the bike mounted lower, you can "move the sequential gearbox" under the floor, making it cleaner inside, and it would be easier to cool down the motor/moving the radiator.
Another "advantage" would be being able to drive Kevin by using the actual bike, making it crazier.
This project is so cool in my opinion
(I hope my comment is understandable... English isn't my first language)
It's been a year… Turned out to be a masterpiece and the world's most loved keicar. Keep the grinding boys
I love your channel! The aesthetic in your videos and the quality of the editing is out of this world! Keep up the great work!
This is the kind of thing that you dream as a chlid but this guys are making it real hahahahaha, much love guys 🖤
might get some power/weight ratio weakness, but the idea itself is so cool that i can't wait to see how it goes.
BTW i think you should maybe get rid of the front wheel and use the front wheel monts, to mount the bike to kevin
That would make sense but loose too much of the bike look
Old kevin engine had probaly less power
this is amazing, i won’t even be upset if there isn’t a CD included with this build
Troche jestem zawiedzony tym pomyslem, wolalbym ladnie zeswapowany silnik bez tego calego motocykla
This was exactly what i thought was going to happen and i couldn’t be more happy about an idea like this
Sounds sick!! But have you thought about the lifting the weight of the car this much? Best case scenario- uncomfortable to drive, worst case- kevin will drive more distance on its side than on its wheels
Cannot wait to see Derek (sorry if I spelled it wrong) work his true genius once again. What he did on your miata was so amazing to watch!
This is insane haha, how are you gonna cool the engine? Need to find a place for the radiator
So stoked you guys are doing this! I named my gsxr Kevin before I seen your van and was surprised when I heard the name. My bike is also red & black 600cc!
In order to drive the rear axle, you will need to mount the bike hard to Kevin's floor. Maybe weld together a bike stand (for both front and rear), but use the rear without the whole wheel. The reason for hard mounting the bike is the chain needs to maintain its length. Talk to bike builders about cooling. Not sure if or how low the radiator can be mounted in relation to the engine if you decide to put it in the place of the old engine.
I Love the Winterfeeling and homestyle Nightride Garage Videos with many chill
Okay 100% stupid idea but looks fun to proceed and see the end result.
Love ur videos guys
You guys are the best on the interwebs! Your videos are the best!
Just remember that motorbikes usually don't have reverse gear, so might be a problem if you want it roadworthy. 🤘
This will be such a cool build I think your guys channel will grow a lot from this and it will most definitely be the only one of its kind.
You guys always make the best videos and I wait for a new one everytime
I think deleting the wheels and mounting the bike to Kevin trough the shocks would also be a very cool idea, this will make the bike sit lower. This way you will have a lot more space to work and I think it would look cooler trough the windows.
This is an awesome idea. Is there any way to design a quick-connect system for mount, throttle and drive? It would be super cool to have the bike be able to power the van and also be drivable alone.
I had the same idea. I think that would be rad.
This is crazy; cant wait to see how this goes. Thank you NIGHTRIDE! 🖤
BRUH i was litteraly just binge watching u guys
Just awesome. Really hope you guys get this to work!
I've been waiting for this moment since you bought Kevin. ILY GUYS❤️❤️
I recommend taking the front wheel off the bike for a little more room. I think the bike taking up the back space defeats the purpose of a van.
Kevin would be a dope show car tho if you guys pull this off. Very unique idea, can’t wait to see how you guys execute.
This is genius, please keep on building. I love outstanding ideas as this, so few people try do do something, that nobody has done before, therefore I support your amazing idea 100% 💯 💯 💯 👍👍👍
I thought you were joking about keeping the bike in Kevin and we’re just going to swap the motor and throw a little turbo on it or something 🤷🏼♂️🤣🤣 lol you boys are wild, pretty excited to see how this pans out. Lotta Crazy things have been done with builds, so I have full confidence you guys will pull this off🤜🏻🤛🏻👌🏻
nie wiem jak to ogarniecie ale tym bardziej chce to zobaczyć :D powodzenia w modzeniu, może powstanie nowy kult tuning-owy :P:P
I genuinely think this is one of the coolest ideas, and knowing you guys, i'm sure you'll be able to pull it off in a way that will be show car worthy. I'm really looking forward to see this build
the idea is so insanely stupid that no one would actually think of it, but because of that, it means that this is going to be an awesome build. I have been waiting a long time to see something happen with kevin and im excited to see this. if anyone can do the impossible car stuff its you guys tbh
I would keep the rear axle as it is, but making yet another subframe to hold the end of a longitudinal axle from the diff to the point the chain connects. It would need a welded small diff just under the bike engine's output, the transversal axle with the sprocket for the bike to move it, and the rear diff. But it would be a way better solution, even it it's too complex for a show car.
that's interesting
BLOODY BRILLIANT, I love it, if you keep is chain driven some how, but got a bigger chain, bigger “rear sprocket” on an axel, and somehow get that together, should work. Love the content, and ideas!
Im just Waiting to see more because I just know that you guys are gonna make it end up much better than expected. Besides that I hope you'll get more recognition from this project because you deserve it geis.
Have a nice day and thank you for coming to my Ted talk
for the shifting set up i suggest a double cable setup one for shifting up one for shifting down. One cable would pull up on the lever and one would pull down. Then, hook both cables up to the front and back of any sort of lever. it would also be easy to tuck away down by the floor or if you want to get fancy, drill one large or two small holes in the floor and route it under the body and repeat up near the lever.
The only idea of people seing it and think "oh they carry a motorbike in it" and literally 2 minute after " jeeeesus the bike powered the van" it enjoy me so much
keep going guys you gonna have lot of work but it'll pay for sure
you have to lose the front wheel, then just weld the front bike shox to a fixed frame Kevin, then it can't steer.
if the rear drive is just a fixed axle, it will make cornering mad because both wheels will always be turning the same speed and the tyre screeching will be hilarious 😂
I love it, this is why nightride is the best automotive CZcams, because you have really original ideas on a small budget!
I’m wondering if you could take off the front wheel and make tubes for the front shocks instead of the bike sitting on tires the whole time. And you could get a quick shifter for the bike which would turn it into sequential. I’m excited to see what y’all are gonna come up with!! Buying a shirt tonight to support this project!!
Awesome videos and as always even cooler cars 😁
At first I thought you guys were crazy but this is gonna be sick when it’s done 😂 I’m so excited
Hey men love the quality.!!!! Which lens do you use ? Love from spain ♥️
"If you have a big dream, its a bit easier to work towards it" Motivational speech of the year
This is the most Nightride thing ever, I don't even feel surprised lmao
For shifting you can do clutch in hand with cable or you can put hydro clutch instead of getting the cable up all the way to the front. Cant wait for next episode and your solutions
The vibe on this channel is another level. And your cars are on Point. Much love and can’t wait to see it ripping . 🤍🤘🔥
At first I thought Sam was just kidding about connecting Kevin to the motorcycle engine but then I was like "wtf, thei realli doin it!"... It's absolutely crazy idea and that's exactly why it is so cool! You guys are amazing! Can't wait to see the progress and the result.
In my opinion it would be cool to change even the color of Kevin (+motorcycle). You know, this red & blacc combo is hella nice and fits Kevin well but it's been like that for kinda long time now. And when you're changing the whole style, why not change the color as well?
Also, a small technical point: are you sure the engine would be powerful enough to drive both Kevin and the motorcycle? I mean, it's meant to drive only the motorcycle, the whole combo (motorcycle + Kevin's body + wide wheels) will be much heavier.
once again you guys never miss :)
Czekałem na to wideo, ale nie spodziewałem się go tak szybko. Łapa w góre i oglądamy
broo I Love ur content keep up bro:)
Hope this will be the biggest troll ever, it was so nice to have the power of the motorbike, and Kevin continue to be a van, for cargo and back seats.
I will await for the changed ideas 😜
Great idea!! But I wonder if the clutch will hold the load...
This will be awesome! Not sure, but removing the wheels and the front fork and rear "fork" (the one that holds the rear wheel), and just mount the bike on her belly in like a subframe. This would lower the center of gravity and remove any tilting possibilities, so in case this will do some corners, the bike does not fly around. Maybe a stupid suggestion, but this is what was on my mind :D
Keep up the great work!
Amazing idea, hope to see it in progress.
No no no no, there is no such thing as a "stupid idea" in our hobby, not when it involves a whole motorcycle powering Kevin.
I was expecting to see an engine swap into Kevin, but you guys want to do a motorcycle swap instead! You are downright madmen and I am stoked to see how this turns out!
If this doesn't get you closer to the UItrace podium, then I donno what will!
Mad idea 😂 I love it!
To cool the engine maybe you can replace the rear side windows with polycarbonate. And then make cutouts to run huge naca intake ducts on the poly windows leading to the engine. And/or a weird looking way: roof scoops similar to aftermarket Toyota MR2 roof intake snorkels/scoops. Then maybe route them through a polycarbonate rear window with cutouts. May look really weird, but hey it's a funky Kevin! 😂
You should remove the front wheel/brake (mount front forks to the custom cross bar you spoke about) and try to run throttle and clutch cables straight to front cockpit for the driver. Sequential would be sick. But is there going to be any suspension in the rear? Maybe work towards an independent suspension setup at some point. This is gunna cool! Really big project for the channel, can't wait!
Yeah, you doing exactly what you said on Ultrace :D I can't wait to see it finished, you guys are great!
This is acc so original to do, great work :)
I would make a big firewall separating the bike from the front cabin. The amount of heat coming off will be crazy plus routing the exhaust would be much easier since not so worried about dying from the bike fumes 😂 lol
God speed with it, it’s for sure different
exhaust wise you could have a centre exit exhaust through the rear hatch extending from the motorbike exhaust
for the front, you can maybe attach a sort of tube that goes inside the hub, like in motorsport, so the bike won't steer or move anyway
God damn this build is going to be sick 😂 definitely an Ultrace finalist, can’t wait to see the vision come together
came into this thinking the title was just worded weird but nope 💀 can't wait to see this when its finished!!!
I can't believe that you guys kept the straight face for the whole episode.
Best troll ever btw.
oh man you are awesome Guys🙏
greetings from Germany🇩🇪
A solid through-axle to mount the front end would probably be more ideal than a cage around the wheel. It'll make getting the bike in and out more challenging, but it'll be a lot better than the bike being able to move up and down a couple centimeters. Plus it gets the front wheel out of the way, which'll make it a whole lot easier to get seats in there.
Its a crazy idea, but definitely doable (I don't know how but everything can be build if you put yourself to it) good luck. I'm gonna enjoy watching this because it's so crazy
Zróbcie sobie biegi na dwóch linkach jedna u góry druga na dole do biegu w górę i w dół najprościej jak się da :) w dodatku da się to fajnie ukryć i dźwignia zmiany biegów też nie będzie potrzebowała nie wiadomo jakich kombinacji :) a linkę da się dorobić z metra :)
Remember that in a bike the gears are like: 1 n 2 3 4 5 so you probably have to work with that a lil bit
Love to see Kevin getting love🥳
I love watching you guys. I think it's a great idea. Go big or go home!
this has to be one of the best ideas i’ve ever seen, just make sure not to suffocate on exhaust fumes :)
That FZR is mint, I used to ride one and I absolutely loved it. Please whatever you do don't destroy that bike or any of the parts on it, especially the bodywork. It can be worth quite a bit of money as they are becoming very hard to find in good shape.
As long as you brace the bike with an exo-skeleton full send! Only concern I see is if the chain will be able to move the weight of the van when accelerating from a stop. There is gonna be a lot of tension on the chain and gears.
I have 2 ideas:
1) To connect bike’s exhoust to Kevin’s exhoust
2) Cut huge air inlets in doors so air can cool bike’s engine
Few things I wanna question and that’s 1. What’s your plan for exhaust fumes and shit ? And 2. With windows shut and bike running through gears wouldn’t inside the cab be deafening loud ? Even with earplugs I imagine it to be loud big time
Hey what type of widebodykit does Sam use on his miata?
ps: great video as always
Crazy and creative idea, I like it!
I love ur vids❤ so good vibe
You might want to think about where to route the exhaust, noise inside the cabin and brakes if it's really going to move under it's own power. Other than that I don't know how much of the bike you want to keep looking as a bike, but removing the wheels and mounting it lower might help with the center of mass.
This is going to be absolutely insane and I love it, Just make sure the exhaust from the bike is really good quality being it's in the same cabin as the driver otherwise noise and gasses could be a very slight issue 😅. also maybe instead of coming down from the roof for the accelerator/clutch you could have it come up through the original engine housing and go straight into the front of the bike behind the front wheel. regardless I cannot wait to see where this goes!
Very interesting build, don't really like it but I'm here to watch it being built. instead of going the go-cart route maybe look at changing the ring and pinion in the stock diff with a sprocket, that way you can keep the stock mounts but have it chain driven. The inside of the diff might be too small though.
This whole time I thought you would take out the bike engine and convert to kevin, but as you started to roll the bike inside kevin I was like "no fucking way...there's no way they're doing something like this..." Sure enough, you are. You're basically making a type of rikshaw, lol. Very popular in India. You guys are crazy, love it.
I think one of the biggest challenges here would be cooling system and the way to put some fresh air to the engine. Maybe the space after old engine would be a good place to make some vents
leaving the whole motorbike together in the back of the van??? that sounds amazing!
It would also be rad if you could keep the motorbike independent/modular. Like you could unlock the bike, put a front wheel on it, take it out and drive it after arriving as a van. The rear wheel could go through a hole in the floor. You could aim a back up camera at the bike dash with a view screen for Kevin's dash.
I absolutely love this might want to look into a specialty kit for using motorcycles on off road go karts might find something there but I love the idea. Can't wait to see the progress bois
am i wrong to assume the clutch would be the first thing to go? i dont know how well those work with the extra weight
You guys are crazy... And I love it.
wait didn't you say that you want to make Kevin more "drivable" ?
yes, that's exactly what we're doing
@@NIGHTRIDEPL I hope so
