It'll be fun. Definitely different!

Love it. This shows me two things. One, you guys are two kids from the 60s or 70s, making your own fun. Two, Cdn railway tracks were assembled with pure expertise! But bridge, what bridge…? 😉🤔🤔

I had to laugh at this. You got it right, born in the 70's and still having fun like a kid. The rails are very well installed, and this line in particular is recently abandoned so it's in really good shape. Glad you like it.

How do the back wheels not slide off the track. What is the penalty for getting caught doing this?

Great new way of doing a rail to trail.

It's great fun and fairly easy going. No need to rush when the surroundings are so enjoyable.

cool thing you built there. looks like you dialed it in. some extra bolts and lock washers and wrench along with a bottle of locktite or 3m 5200...😁. I'd probably pass on the handsaw and just bring makita chainsaw or reciprocating saw and a bunch of batteries. dang....your going into some virgin ( kinda) territory and it's not going to be steep climbs. just cruising and soaking it all in. you probably should have a couple or 3 cans of bear spray as well. can't wait to watch the next video! 😎👍

Glad you liked it. It's still in development form, but this version is getting pretty close to final. I've got spare parts and tools with me. It's a blast to ride.

It's been fun watching your progress. I can't wait to see the final journey

It's been a fun project. Time for some epic trips with it now.

I love this design! The design that I had in mind is very similar. I never thought of using 80/20 though. Simply brilliant! This set-up would be able to house a battery bank, some solar panels and some electric bikes, instead of peddle bikes.

Отличная поездка, виды природы и заброшенной гидроэлектростанции впечатляют! У вас самая технологичная конструкция адаптера под колею!

you need a cutter kit for the branches and logs along the way and see if you can get permission to be a trail cleaner !!! and see if you can install swing gates with keys after !!! that would be a kick ass system to ride !!!

Just some good snips and a saw of some sort. same way I keep all the trails open on my small rez in Canada !!! And I get full travelability/use of the trails since I keep them open and cleaned up !!! and make bypasses if need be because some quads and sxs's dig deep ruts making mud holes !!! I hope you have fun keeping the trails open. and get them to make a gate there with keys you can sign out. with a do not copy, because the keys change every month !!! 30 keys at a time. and run tourism groups would like that kinda ride !!! and e-carts. would work fine on there. just gotta know if the tracks don't spread to wide. and have a time trials with bring your own ride. and you have to be able to disassembled and put back together under a certain time limit. and damn the 30k would be a awesome race track every month !!! and hope you find more track like that. I wanna build a gas kart ride what track are left. but still have steering if need to leave the track !!!

Love it I need more to see lol

150km, 2 day Rail bike expedition gets released tomorrow morning.

Few questions: 1. Would you consider getting some smoother rear tires for the trip? 2. Do you know your average moving speed? Seems pretty relaxed, is that mainly for stability? 3. What are you gonna do about the audio? External mic pack? Damped mounts? 4. Is this the greatest railbike ever constructed?

@Suluk46

2 ай бұрын

1. Not against smoother tires if maybe I had planned to only ride the railway and maybe paved roads. The upcoming trip will be a combination of trails, logging roads, and the railway so MTB tires are ideal. 2. I don't know, but it was pretty mellow at times but also pretty fast sometimes. These old railways are pretty beat up and overgrown. We covered 30 km in about 4 hours, but that is with dealing with blowdowns and such. I would guess 10-15 kph is safe. I've had derailments on my other railbikes, it ain't fun :) 3. The camera is mounted to the rigid frame, that's why it sounds so terrible and picks up all the mini bumps and clicks. The bike fork has suspension so it is actually quite smooth, so I'll mount it to the handlebars. Hope that works better. 4. Haha. I've built many railbikes, this style certainly seems the easiest, most reliable, and most universal. Is it the greatest? I don't know about that!

Battery powered sawz all (demo saw) with a pruning blade would do some serious damage to those branches/debris.

Maybe a saw next time. Pretty cool adventure.

10-15 kph is a safe speed. The wheel just falling off for no reason shouldn't be a concern. The real issue is with these old railways, lots of things will launch you off the tracks.
