photon mobility scooter, where getting old doesn't mean you go slow
leokimvideo getting old means your pulling wheelies lol
Just imagine. Two grandmas ride into a Walmart and all you hear in the frozen food section after a couple seconds is "VVVROOOOOMM VVVRRRROOOM."
72 volts? Nice. I'm amazed he didn't decide to push it up to 84 volts.
@@cecilrichardson2494 it popped before they had the chance
@@HPD1171 Knowing Photon, he could probably design a mobility scooter capable of handling in excess of 60-72 (possibly 84) volts. I wonder how something like that would do on the open market?
"As fast as possible" = lame
"As close to the speed of light as possible" = EXCITING!
The first time he tested the scooter on the street with that ridiculous on/off switch for an accelerator had me laughing like a drain. Honestly, one of the most enjoyable things I've seen in ages.
Same 🤣🤣🤣
Grandma Theft Auto.
Lmao
Grandma is going to rob the store before the police arrive. She is too quick. The police just give up.
Gran Theft Auto
OEHHHH
Wtf she will run over someone at poundland🤣🤣🤣
You and Colin Furze need to have a scooter race now.
+speeddemon1774 I try to keep my stuff within the electrical theme, but now you have mentioned it I can't help but think V8 lol.
+Photonicinduction hi Andy. Good to see you around!
+Landie Man hello mate!
+Photonicinduction will give you a shout soon
I'm sure you can come up with some sort of terrifyingly fast electric monstrosity with that mobility scooter chassis!
Had a fucking blast with you that night mate! Hopefully it'll raise a smile to most people which was the intention :)
+Ademusicuk Ahh, the man himself, it was a blast and you did great with the mod, and the camera, I had the easy bit of driving it, much respect and cheers!Must do more lol :)
+Photonicinduction Mate I keep checking to see when last you were active. A bit stalkish I know, but can we have a little update to know when / if there will be another video coming out soon? We miss you man!
@@JuanPretorius New video bro!
@@Photonicinduction rt
I need help upgrading my mobility scooter please
Dam, I need to revisit the back catalogue more often, this stuff is pure gold.
Set granny up with one of those and you should be getting your inheritance soon, like fucking tomorrow!
Chris Gruno
thats just evil dude
I like how the description says "the results are amusing". That's pretty much the only way to describe this.
"Today's exercise is to get this electric scooter to go as close to the speed of light as possible" lol
How fast were you able to get it up to?
One suggestion: replace the original motor with a brushless DC motor if the scooter doesn't have one already
When you first took off on that thing I genuinely bursted out laughing, that's freakin awesome man! :) Thanks again for a great upload!
Photon, we need you back man... your videos got me through a month of heal time from spine surgery and now I'm hooked. I want to see what kinds of crazy, amazing, ingenious ideas that brain of yours can come up with. We love you in the U.S.. Keep up the good work!
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
Then it gets fucking hilarious.
I second that
I third that.
+Jammit Timmaj I forth that!
+Jammit Timmaj
I fifth that!
+cptcrogge it would take a liter or two to get me on that thing
you should try to overclock a tennis ball launcher it would be great !
Baseball pitching machine.
BOOOOOM!
BOLA PRO cricket ball bowling machine.
Those things throw a rock hard ball at 100mph stock with a 12v battery.
They are solidly built so should be able to take a few more volts stock.... and with modded motors you could get ridiculous speeds.
@@Debbiebabe69 "Alright mates, we're going to see how the balls from this ball launching machine stand up to breaking the sound barrier"
2:47 Good thing I wasn't drinking anything at that time...
my 48v mod has been running for 2 years. Doubled the tyre diameter and pulls like a train. Its a bad idea using solenoid, I made my own mechanical speed controller simply switching up 12v 24v 36v 48v originally and that toasted the drive gear too much instant torque, you can get a decent 48v 200amp for a couple of hundred and you get re gen!. I used mine to bring back rocks for the garden on a trailer 400kg at a time from 4 miles away about 20 runs!. Original motor is a 950 watt but thats continuous rating, at 200 amp 48v thats drawing like 10hp+!. Key is a large ally heat sink on the motor under normal use flying around the woods it doesnt even get as warm as your bath water. Oh and I have two trailer seats for the kids too!.
Have you a link to it
I'm actually just about to start the MOD on mine. I am waiting on the programmer to start there. I would be eternally grateful for any advise you might give that will save me from trial and error. Thanks in advance!
Hahaha nice
@@innersanctumoccultube278 hi keep us updated please are you going to use dynamic wizard software?
?
and now you do gaming vids lol
Park it in tesco as their courtesy mobility scooter, some old dear will have the time of her life.
Having seen rumours second/third/fourth hand that Andy is badly injured, can I say (and I think I can speak for all of us that follow you) that if the rumours are true, we all hope you get back on your feet (again) soon Andy and we all miss you buddy. All the best for a quick recovery mate!
Videos can wait, recovery is your priority now.
He's back on CZcams & explained why he's been away
He's ok! Our king has returned
Love the videos, can't wait to see more! Thank you for all you do.
Andy, seen you done some things, However that was so funny.............................it was hilarious!! Definitely my favorite of all time. Always a pleasure and so entertaining to watch. Cheers for your uploads :)
Funny. :-) The UK is always either cloudy or rainy.
electronicsNmore That's how one spots a British movie.
electronicsNmore OBJECTION
Is the weather really that bad there?
@@TheNamesArif It is pretty bad yea, clear and sunny days are a rarity
@@TheNamesArif There is no bad weather, only bad clothing :)
It looks like Tesla's got some competition:)
What happened to Photon, he's been missing for months now.
Virtualgod2009 I just hope he's OK. I'm beginning to think that he might have electrocuted himself with his dangerous experiments :(
+MegaBojan1993 EDIT: He was busy with life
he quit yt he said it himself
Gerrit Deruyter That was back in 2012, he made a comeback since then.
MegaBojan1993 oh ok
How does this get ONLY 222,000 views, it deserves 222,000,000. This is funniest thing - and brilliant too. Wake up world!
You have to be the most creative guy around, Andy! Absolutely hilarious! And some bonus fire at the end! Who could ask for more!
"They see me rollin they hatin" :))
Thanks for the update always loved your videos
You really should get in touch with Colin Furze, would be epic to see what two CZcams legends could come up with together.
You should have dress up as an old git and taken it in to Tescos!
+Prince Westerburg That would have been epic :D
+Prince Westerburg OMG YES!!
Have a switch for 24/72v and potter around the store normal speed, then take off like a bat outta hell down the aisle!!!
Would certainly make a good prank!
+George Smith done it but at 48v, contactor welded and stuck on 1st time I tried it with me on it, ended up in a neighbours garden before I could break the battery terminal off.
Definitely need some heavy duty stuff for the higher voltages and current.
I'm subbed to over 200 people and you are my favorite youtuber of all time
+Sean LaMountain I'm honoured to hear that, cheers!
Thanks for brightening up my life! I don't know what I would do without you.
I just love that start-up sound.
CRRRRRRUNCH!
Priceless.
Now that technology has moved on, are we going to get a 2021 version?
we need it
7:52
C'mon Photonicinduction, Max speed is 3 knots only...
+Eduardo Silva xD
Nobody uses knots to measure speed on land. Photonic Induction may have been near a port of water, but he was not in the water, so the speed limit doesn't apply. ツ
It was so funny =D I like the videos on this channel. Thanks a lot. You have made my day 😂👍🏻
Ahhh man this is the funniest thing I’ve seen on CZcams for a long time. Thankyou Thankyou for this invaluable contribution to science. Comedy. Scientific comedy.
I just can't stop laughing when he's testing it for the first time
you just hit 200k, now's a good time time to come back
@@probablynot8154 400k*
Don’t worry he did
ABSOLUTELY BEST MOBILITY SCOOTER VIDEO EVER - THANKS I LAUGHED ALL THROUGH IT! MIKE
I love u man... I been watching since your first vid and I love it... keep it up.
8:15 and he still hasn't popped it, I'm worried.
+waterlubber Don't worry he popped it !
Michel PASTOR
Whew!
+waterlubber Way too much fun to just let it pop
*****
Motors get killed by amperage most of the time. It blew when he went on the grass because the motor stalled and drew too many amps, and overheated.
+Watt Waster If photon wanted to I bet he could have got it to 50mph
Was that electric scooter made by AMD?
lol
+Bob Roberts If it was it would've been designed to be able to run hotter, so it would still be functioning, while on fire
+Bob Roberts Hey man, don't bash AMD, they're doing their best. Their engineers were fed a stable diet of paint chips as kids, they're working really hard!
+Bob Roberts nice meme
Dude, dont bash AMD. Their company might be substantially smaller than Intel but they still are in the three for desktop CPU production, and their chips are actually pretty powerful for the price.
love this guy man hes so jokes. Glad to see u back mate
I've got tears in my eyes 😂😂😂
Had to subscribe after that effort 👌👌
2:26 I read the battery icon as uSv/hr lol
That was absolutely hilarious! Thanks, Andy. :) It'd be awesome if you put a bigger motor on that little scooter next time!
+MetalCanyon 24 Volts truck starter, but you need larger and heavier batteries.
I had no idea you would be here ; )
+Black Sin Impeccable - Weight, possibly.
I love your videos +Photoinduction ;)
Everytime I see a "1" after your name in the notification of new videos, I check it out immediately.
Your videos are so amazing! keep up the great work!
Excellent and very funny! The video wouldn't have been the same without the cooked motor at the end!
+mrmattandmrchay cooked motors are great.
I would like to see you modify an electric car.
So would I
How about the DeLorean from "Back To The Future"?
@@isminivermekistemeyenmahmut You're right. It was a thought, anyway.
A Tesla
very much enjoyed that . you do know how to have fun with what you have at hand
LOL, your face the first time you drove off, thx for the vid, that was fun!
Hope you're okay, really want to see more of your adventures!
Needs a rear stabilizer
+HDXFH It's basically a dragster now.
Wheelie bar confirmed
+HDXFH it does!
+HDXFH and four wheels
+HDXFH Nah, just put a basket in the front for the other guy to sit in
Congratz with 200k subs ☺️😎
Watching that little thing kick and buck genuinely made me laugh at loud. Well done guys, great project.
It's been four months I need moooorrrreeeee
+Crazylogie friggin rights you do :) bmp
ps miss your ugly mug on Pug's vidya's -way she gerds

Turk Awwww the wittle 1pug fanboy is butthurt!!!
+Turk you sad babytalking freak
Riverfront13 Under queen?
This is why I need one of these things.
Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy all of your videos. Even though you and your love may be apart, and you find yourself in despair, please look at the past enjoyment you had with making these videos. I pray you find your happiness in the hardest times of your life and allow life to happen in the most enjoyable way you can. Just know your followers are wishing nothing but happiness for you and your family. Just know the best things in life come with obstacles, without them life would become complacent.
Gave me quite the chuckle .... Thank you! Please keep it up!
"it's a bit faster now"
Photonicinduction hasn't made a new video in months. I ain't avin' it! xD
One can only worry about the worst, knowing what he does for a living.
+Aaron Powell he's probably fine, might be busy again, and he pretty much totally knows what he does when he works with electronics/electricity
+BENBOOST9 yeah, I saw some of the updates. Guess he got injured running off a harbor or something along those lines. But wouldn't an experimental incident be the first thing that crosses your mind?
+Aaron Powell Nevermind i saw another comment. He was just too busy to make a video. The other was a rumor
hes back boi better know
You took the handicap wheel chair scooter to a new level of speed. It pops up on take off. When I become handicapped I want that scooter. Every time I see your video's I laugh so hard. KEEP UPTHE GOOD WORK.
Classic Photon shenanigans in this one! I love the arcing on the 60V terminal! Couldn't stop laughing as the video looks sped up (I know it's not but that's what made it so funny. Looks like an undercranked 1920s film. All that was missing was the ragtime piano hahaha.)
That thing needs wheelie bars.
They come with one when you buy it lol
LMAO!! _"When this baby hits 88, you're going to see some serious stuff!"_
I have to say that this was a scream!
In a way, it's a shame that you couldn't have incorporated onto that, some kind of switching system which started it on a lower voltage and then kicked-in the rest of the juice after a few seconds-or-so.
Having the whole lot go full-on resulted in the inevitable.... You popped it! You even got flaaaames in the back of it.
It's interesting really..... I thought to myself: _"Any moment now, that thing's going to go flammable supernova like a vac motor connected across the brushes"_
..... and it did. :D
By the looks of things, the direct-on-line characteristic of the motor appeared to produce quite a bit of grunty torque. Again, having some kind of system which started halfway and then went full-on after a few seconds would have helped to reduce or eliminate this effect.
Overall though, it looks like you had some TOP FUNN with that old scooter before the motor gave up the ghost in a little whimper of fire.
Very good, Mr. Photon. Next time: Flux Capacitor. :D
Thanxx for showing,

Maybe a PWM controller or some sort of multi step contractor circuit.
BoomBoxDeluxe why do you put the time and date on every message? You must be old or something haha
All I could think of when you were testing it in the hard hat is this is some John Cleese sketch that was never released before, bloody hilarious.
When a few stellas have gone down, the electric box is coming out! Respect for the Stella brother!
my face hurts, pissed myself laughing when you first tested it on the road
Double size wheels = double speed.
also 2x required torque and load on the motor
you need to come back to youtube man! NEED MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS. I've marathoned them all way too many times.
He's back :)
You know the man has earned his wheels when you tell him to "Light'm up", and he says, "No, I dont smoke".
This is a really good video,
but how about running a electric car at quadrupled voltages??.(Chevy volt)
Needs a 15kW BLDC motor.
Wow I just discovered you guys & love your insane UK Tesla genious videos ! especially this one!
Wow dude I swear you have me cracking up everytime. great videos!!!
Needs a metal skirt, plunger, egg whisk, and vocoder.
+Finn, just Finn. Naked Daleks just aren't the same are they ...
+Finn, just Finn. Also needs a hotplate for tea
He hasn't made a video in 3 months . Whats going on ?
Photonic mc fly is in the future now .
I love you videos. They crack me up
That first take off I got a kick out of it. it was awesome. I'm thinking of making one of those sometime. Thanks for sharing.!
Umm...mate, iseverything alright? You haven't posted in a long time.
Imran Isak he does that ALOT
Imran Isak I'm guessing he slowed down on drinking, it seems when he drinks he makes CZcams videos
141 people who thumbs downed this should go elsewhere! There must be a channel about flowers and such that will please you.
You have balls sir!!! Electricity scares the shit out of me! Love the videos and I think you have invented a new sport 🤘
Good to see you back Andy
*Awesome!*
*One question, what is your education/job mate?:)*
+FEAFi Director, electromechanical contractors
+FEAFi a fucking genius .
+Photonicinduction
That was never more than 100mph. Not even close to the speed of light. Our Vokswagen engineers suggested you write a special piece of software. Remember "Vorsprung durch Technik" hehe.
Is he dead. Did something like actually pop this time ? Please come back
+ukkomies100 I was missing him too..
+ukkomies100 Photon please talk to us! :( :'(
I know it's been 6 months wtf and he's got alot of subscribers
You just earned yourself a sub! Good stuff!
Love your videos!!
RIP if you are not dead you are more than welcome to leave a message here ( ) if no message appears i take it that you have blown yourself up 👍🏼.
Barrybados©. na he always goes through areas of not posting for a while when he stops drinking
Only just found you after your re emerging vid. I have to say that was funny as fuck.
LoL,
I watch loads of stuff on INTERNET, but your stuff is not only educational, but is hilarious.
I think you should take it in town and look for some grannies to race, would be fun :)
Absolutely hilarious. When you ran it through the grass seem to be the required drag on the motor to kill it.. lol keep em coming!
Got this classic on the feed, good to see the old algorithm at it again
Wheelchair modification are very nice,i like it!
Loved the expression on his face on the first start, more please
Good to see you looking chipper after your recent illness Andy !
Pure brilliance. Next up should be one of the four wheel ones.
Andy you're a genius! best youtube channel I've seen in a long time. having a scratch around in work to see if there's anything i can get you to mash up. i work with 24kW lighting ballast Mmmm power! how about a mention in next video. keep up the good work.
That first ride test was hilarious.
XD
Good surprise.
It's good to see Photon making videos outdoors :)
