Hi everyone :) It's been a while!
I've recently got myself a T7 extreme, so I got inspired to rebuild it 

Here's the current state of the work :)
I'm planning to have an RC version and a display one. Ill keep updating this post the further i go with the project!
Hope you'll like it!

Good start.

Looks good! One question: what is the purpose of motorizing it? Unless you add “training wheels” it won't balance by itself.

Thank you!
I might disagree on that tho :P
I have already built multiple self standing motorbikes

This one shares the same principle of design of its front fork

Looking forward to your updates!

Yes, I understand that it can have a kickstand for when it is parked. My question was how would you keep it upright while driving unless it drives quickly enough to keep it upright like a real bike?

you haven't watched the videos i posted have you?
In a nutshell, a well thought chassis together with an offset pivot for the front fork and the battery moving left and right give you full control while driving the bike.
The bike stays upright and leans into corners when you shift the weight

This looks amazing so far, and I dont even usually like bikes. Have you ever tried to jump one of these bikes?

the smaller ones have enough speed to hit a kicker and fly... the landing tho is another story

Ok, that is entirely on me sorry. I didn’t take the time to watch the video, but I’m glad I did now. It’s literally enchanting to watch the bike lean into the turns. So you said you made that work by shifting the battery weight from side to side?
