Massive Eight Foot Razor Style Scooter Emerges After Seven Years Of Development
Content creator Matt Brown has completed a giant Razor-style scooter measuring about 2.4 m long after a seven-year development journey. The oversized two-wheeler features towering handlebars, oversized fat tires, and an aluminium-clad wooden frame.
Brown originally designed a version stretching beyond 6.1 m before scaling down to an 8-foot deck that matched standard lumber lengths. The frame incorporates full-length two-by-fours and a half-inch plywood deck, powered by a rear hub motor from a used fat-tire scooter.
The builder wrapped the wooden structure in aluminium sheeting and added a centre tread strip to replicate the classic scooter appearance. Project delays stemmed from house moves, competing ambitions like a Tesla-powered Jaguar, and pandemic cancellations.
Initial low-speed steering proved awkward until Brown installed shorter handlebars borrowed from a standard Razor scooter. Modern 3D-printing provided fork covers, decorative tubes, and a functional telescoping handlebar clamp.
Brown reinforced a cracked platform with heavy steel angle brackets and finished the exterior with button-head bolts resembling rivets. The public debut took place at a desert event where the machine served as a popular photo attraction.
Testing revealed minor issues including a brake lever switch affected by dust and moisture, along with occasional handlebar slip. Brown mounted two standard Razor scooters on the rear deck to allow passengers to ride along.
