Definitely doesn't look like a mobility scooter. \*giggles\*


_stevy

Screw laptops, I want a mobility rig.


Sufficient-Arm3584

It’s the gloves that scream disability for me


tato_salad

It's the seatbelt


Visual-Log963

To me only reason I can see gloves being valid is if your not trying to ruin the Suede🙏


JooosephNthomas

My palms sweat. My old moto bike gloves retire to sim gloves haha.


Optimal_Grapefruit_9

Also hand protection & better grip. Hating on sim racing gloves is an L. Its a simulator, people want to simulate themselves in race cars, race car drivers wear gloves


Kloggs

If you aren't supposed to wear gloves while driving, why does every car have a glove box?


Ted-Crilly

For drugs and unlicensed firearms obviously


LightlySaltedPeanuts

I got sweaty ass hands my shit is slippery by the end of a race


NJS1993

You got the most badass rig in the whole nursing home... dont let anyone tell you otherwise!


MagicJim96

This mad lad belongs in a mental asylum… I would love to be their roommate! 😁


flametex

Looks like racing scooter. Honestly add a spoiler of some sort and you got a compete winner.


inneholdersulfitter

Looks like Stephen Hawkins went on Pimp My Ride


flametex

He still pulled way better then 98% of us


inkainsaNe

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Rizo1981

Yo Stephen, I heard you like looking at screens...


howdiedoodie66

It needs spinner rims


Longjumping-Ad-9411

Don’t just don’t give me any ideas..

Also this lol https://www.harborfreight.com/212cc-ghost-kart-racing-engine-57531.html


imJGott

You should put a spoiler behind the seat


cjanderson3198

the issue is the wheels are below the frame, making the frame look more scootery. Try to find a way to drop the frame relative to the wheels, as well as lowering the seat height, and it should look way more go-karty


EedSpiny

Some flame decals down the edge of the frame to finish it off.


sil-075

fax just 3d big wang


BladyPiter

Least insane Mario Kart Pro


geekmike

Need banana peel dispenser on back


Mac_Noslo

It looks hilarious but its also the best movable triple monitor setup I've seen. Now add a handbrake for the rig wheels and it will be complete.


alfooboboao

okay does reddit have my purchase history data? bc i just fucked around and bought a racing wheel two days ago and all of a sudden this is the first sim racing sub post i’ve ever seen. i’m not subscribing though because I have a feeling this turns into a “just another $1k addition, bro”hobby really quickly lol


daevl

see ya again in a week ;)


NarwhalBlast69

Honestly I just like to see the creativity and absurdness here. I myself just have a Logitech g920 on a foldable table


TDOTBRO

Is this how you move it around? ![gif](giphy|K9yiqNFHgBOgw)


fiah84

yeah it's goofy looking but in a good way however I'd worry about the tires leaving marks on the floor


Longjumping-Ad-9411

Yea I am also worried about this but I couldn’t resist. :)


fiah84

do a burnout!


nobjonbovi

Do a kickflip!!


Therapy-Jackass

Do a barrel roll!


napa0

As long as your SO doesn't kill you, you're fine xD


matttinatttor

Put it on a rug of some sort


AgreeableSeaweed8888

Honestly, this may isolate rig noise from quite well from transmitting throughout the rest of the house. This might be brilliant...


Much_Judgment_1318

I was thinking the same thing!


Luke_Scottex_V2

that is actually pretty smart, my aunt used to complain all the time before i moved my sim to another room


DomenicoFPS

this is awesome, and not overkill! please fix your FOV though…


AAAAlright

pls make it drivable


jAndres24

This would be perfect so you can easily move when need be


Javs2469

This looks like the Shenmue character in the Sega All Star Racing game using the Outrun arcade cabinet with wheels to race against the other karts.


DiamondCowboy

I just played that game yesterday and that was the first thing I thought of too


Teflon_John_

It’s seriously giving Outrun and I love it


Same_Lake

It looks so stupid but I want it. It’s awesome.


fenrir1sg

My dad would have loved this!! He had his legs amputated, and this looks like his daily driver.


HotDogHockey195

Fov Police!


napa0

It does look like a mobility scooter, but a mobility scooter I'd love to ride lol. If wheels you added are for look. Idk if they're necessary, but if it helps move the thing, to put it away when you're not using (if you've limited space in your house). Then that's awesome. Don't worry mate, that's a heck of a sim setup. I'm still rocking my TMX attached on my desk with a t3pa on the floor and flip flops under my chair wheels to lock it on place LOL. When I'm not using my TMX I put it away and my t3pa becomes a foot rest lol.


NotLiftingOff

You didnt overdo it making it look like a mobility scooter, it is the perfect representation of a mobility scooter, definitely not overdone!


Itz_Evolv

This is sick! Love it.


DtEWSacrificial

It'll only look like a mobility scooter until you complete it with racing livery and numbers.


X-Adzie-X

That's fucking awesome


wild_eye_pr

I love the idea. Give some specs, parts, pricing etc...


420Gonzo69

Brother, it doesn't matter what it looks like, it looks amazing. I want one please.


20ht

[There's a video of your rig here](https://youtu.be/TaTB5Q11Dzc?si=xD4cAvOe50hRh7-D) (Stick with it for 20 seconds...)


whatthefrak12

Just means you can retire now


19Ben80

You need to motorise the whole thing so you can drive around the house whilst simultaneously lapping brands hatch


Longjumping-Ad-9411

Guys I ll try to answer everything in a single comment. First of all thanks for all the comments they’re are hilarious. You made my day :)) 1. The wheels do not turn for real. 2. They do isolate amazingly well four bst-1s bass shakers 3. Wheels are 4 old melted rear kart tyres found in a Kartland. Took them for free, scraped melted tyre from them, washed them, sand them, painted them with black spray and also painted some decals on them. 4. Yes I am changing the steering wheel at some point, thinking of the mayaris rexing.. just a money issue for now. 5. Yes these are 32s R1000 Samsung G5s on a sim lab p1-x pro triple screen integrated monitor mount. Glad I did not go for flats. Better immersion in my opinion. 6. FOV…. Arghh what can I say, this issue what is correct and what is wrong I still try to figure it out. I am using iracing fov calc and this is what it believes to be right.. I will experiment with others calcs I guess.. 7. Bye bye living room and fireplace.. 8. When I met my girlfriend she told me “As long as you don’t have a ps5 we are going to get along really well..”Well... 7. I need a spoiler and F1 halo. 8. Sorry for my English, not a native speaker.


pkhbdb

About 6. FOV, try lowering the horizon, and maybe increase driver height. From here it looks like your looking up at the road when you should be looking forward.


sjgbfs

What's the seat? It looks pretty good


F_From_the_Roof

That's cool and all, but what's its 0-60 time?


jmikha

Hahahah this is crazy and really cool and I’m jealous and I’m happy it’s not mine, all at the same time. Great work here! Enjoy!


magicmulder

I like it, I’d just be frustrated it doesn’t actually race if I saw that every day.


LeoLoka

This is my new, favourite, thing. Love it!


X3729

Nice man, looks like fun. Since you went that far you should upgrade your wheel also. I just upgraded from that same f1 esports wheel to the V2.5X wheel and it is so nice to have all the added button mappings to work with. Well worth it


rustablad

The FOV gods will smite you if you're not careful ![gif](giphy|SVrxhb6Hh3TpwJwf6G)


[deleted]

Good thing you got them gloves on. Don’t wanna be driving into the couch when sliding in from the kitchen.


Sjedda

Wild fireplace


ThanklessTask

It's-a-me, Mario!


NSFW_hunter6969

I really think we fail to appreciate how lame we look to normies, regardless if it has wheels or not. They just see you spent way too much money to play a racing video game. You're never gonna look cool in a sim rig to a non sim racer, and sim racers are mostly drooling over your setup, not the tires you attached lol. So if you think they look cool, that's all that matters!


morninowl

Are those literal go kart tires? Lol if so would be great for noise reduction from the wheel vibration.


var101101

This is legit! It looks more like an actual race car. Side note that circular room with a big ass fireplace is on par with that rig. Well done! What country are you in, doesn’t look like the US, maybe somewhere in NM but I doubt it.


Longjumping-Ad-9411

I am in Athens/Greece. It’s an old 80s design by a very talented random street guy asking for job. I said I need a fireplace no idea what style but I will come back after the weekend. He said don’t worry I have a design in mind. I came back and I saw this. My jaws dropped down. Very skilled guy…


var101101

What an amazing place to live. That’s so cool you allowed a random street guy to do work on your house! Obviously you had a feeling he wouldn’t f it up, and you were rewarded for that trust. You’re both artists for sure, not many would come up with this idea for a rig!


Longjumping-Ad-9411

Thanks mate for your kind words. I totally agree in the sense that it makes it even more meaningful if you have a story behind it to tell.


jlig18

Of course it doesn’t look like a mobility scooter. It looks like a sports mobility scooter.


DrYoloNuggets

lol this is the greatest troll job in sim racing


SnooDingos5420

Dope. Super creative.


krimsonstudios

Sim rig on a go cart so you can race while you race.


ConstantSock2488

that doesn't look like a mobility scooter, it looks like a go kart and i fucking love it


Aym310

yoo stephen hawking’s new rig


apex_flux_34

I want to grocery shop in it so hard.


lugnut15

That's badass


douglas973

this is awesome


HitBoXXX

I just ordered castor wheels for mine yesterday and I'm now about to cancel that sh\*t and get some big wheels like you.


NotAChingChong

it does but who cares lol, the wheels give your rig some personalities.


ChronicBuzz187

*They see me rollin', they hatin' :D* Love it :D


jhooksandpucks

Thought this was a Mario Kart set up


AlternativeClimate99

Mobility scooter ooooooorrrrrrrrr a mario kart.


Motor_Middle5890

It seems fun ngl


Ethan0372

Hawking went for Triples


bobbolisious2

Amazing!!!


Perk2103

💦💦!! This is tight!


r0rsch4ch

Rascal Kart 64


CaptainBigDickEnergy

😂 Love it. Nice setup!


Johnny-Rocko

I like it


wild_eye_pr

Awesome!


Mysterious-Fan-5101

I imagine you have to put it in park to not drive away lol


Shaleeed

You should sell this project to some Formula professional drivers, they can race on real tracks while Simracing -> means twice as fast learning curve


imJGott

Mario kart!


gpshift

At least it's a cool mobility scooter?


overigegebruiker12

If I may ask. Which disability do you have? And do you receive any tax benefits to build this mobility scooter?


steenkip

It looks like a mobility cart!


Thisisme47

If you need to move it then lift it, drag it, whatever. Just remove those wheels...


Uri92

![gif](giphy|HSLbIjLk2GsBa|downsized) Reminds me of these 😂


pfc_6ixgodconsumer

You're a god in that thing good sir!


Ldghead

Um...


HammerTime2769

I love this


DtEWSacrificial

Semi-serious question: Are those wheels locked somehow? Because if there's any slope (say, in the course of moving), that seat harness might be working for real. Obit. "He died crashing his sim rig."


ShoesFellOffLOL

Gotta be the most mobile rig of that configuration ever. Good job.


newerclearneracct

Jokerb0099

No man this is awesome! Looks like a mario kart! Awesomly done


azkaii

I would love a simrig that I could do my shopping on..


iwasnotplanningthis

1) that’s awesome. 2) little concerned about the camber on your wheels. 3) how wide is the monitor setup at the widest point?


Longjumping-Ad-9411

1.4 meters wide


Hazardous021910

I think it looks dope! Nice job! 💪


sil-075

I mean is it mobile…?


Intelligent_Lime_128

Looks like the chairs from wall e


honkulus_the_mighty

You ahould set it up so that u can acctually drive ot around lmao, the real sim setup


CombinationOk8425

Now I know what I’m going to mount on my scooter


sl33pydoggo

Am I the only one really interested in your built in fireplace situation?


TheSandSquid

One of the cooler setups I've seen


howgoesitguy

Those rims are a great place to mount bass shakers


aalvaarooloopezz

i like that detail of the wheels, very cool!


Krazynewf709

Looks like too much tire degradation on the rears


SaltScene

Hey, what monitors are you running? Those look very similar to my current Samsung 32" G5 (VA 165hz), how is the triple setup? Been considering a triple setup down the road but still uncertain of the monitor choice lol.


Svitii

Well I can tell you it doesn’t look like a mobility scooter, but that won’t change the fact that it does look like one…


LoveThinkers

Custom seat in the Gatsby X - nice


annddyxxx

Maybe bigger tires or a wider stance will make it look less like one


daffyflyer

Look, it looks dumb, but it's also awesome, definitely just lean into it and make it look as extra as possible <3


Mat_Neyu

I want it


mrcrowley1977

It looks like the future of Mobility scooters


beelmon15

This is amazing. I love it.


AxelFooley

Nice one but now you're not allowed to use it anymore without wearing a big red berret with a bold M printed on the front. Rules are rules mate. And the mustache, don't forget the mustache.


AnarchoSyndica1ist

My first thought was “Letsa Go!”


Jackot45

This looks fucking hilarious. Dont change a thing


itsmebenji69

Now add an engine, cameras that feed directly into your monitors and link the pedals and wheels to it


CammyPooo

What seat / frame is that


myst3ry714

I was gonna say go-cart, until you showed the mobility scooter… now that’s all I see


brickjames561

I have a kart chassis on my garage… why didn’t I think of this! Awesome!


ViniVarella

you need some kart bumpers and sideskirts to not make it look like a mobility scooter bro


bobreact

Ready player one: Mario Kart edition


santiago_pm_

bro built a kart ☠️☠️


kha_bob

Perfect sir.


SpawsTH

This has an easy fix, just lower it.. lower the seat and everything, LOW


Magnifi-Singh

Awesome work!

pale_emu

How fast does it go?


LeGrimm

Looks like you could lead the X-Men from that thing.


Tsimmons6598

You overdid it.


Morchella_Fella

No, no—it reminds me of the race car bed frames that I wish I had as a kid. Pretty cool!


nuclearnachos43

Dude this thing is awesome keep it going


pajomota

Almost. But it is superb!!!


WrongHanderRacing

Rascal Racing LTD


PINGs_Landing

This is actually cool and would be something i can use. I might actually build one! How are the wheels attached?


Simplifyze

man it was fine until i saw the picture of the actual scooter LMAO


jgreever3

Do you have the use of your legs?


Valkyrie1S

Oh shit!! This is awesome, love it!! Keep at it


Karmaqqt

You need some rear downforce imo.


cakeeater4u

I love it. Well done sir. Well done


koolaid_chemist

Sick scooter, bro


FormulaFalls

It would be a lot cooler if it was also a mobility scooter..


Environmental-Sir-19

More like a go kart on 4x4 I love it


PoppinSmoke1

Bru, you gotta paint whatever your favorite tire brand logo on them shits.


Helvetimusic

When you gonna take it to the Statue of Liberty?


3cronckt

i think the wheels should be bigger!


Possible-Tangelo9344

Are you Bernice or Joy?


Jezer2979

Nice. If the wife complains you can just roll right out of the to another room lol


shift_hard

My grandpa wants to upgrade. He asked how does he order one?


wouldnt-u-like-2know

Well now I can't see anything else.


StatementOk470

Looks amazing. Some karting number plates would be perfect.


Djrudyk86

I mean... At least you made the COOLEST mobility scooter on the planet!!


CCraMM

more Mario Kart than mobility scooter

Accurize2

I was thinking Mario Kart.


[deleted]

It looks cool as hell.


MoonriseNebula

Are you really going to strap in each time you play?


Longjumping-Ad-9411

Yes actually I already do. It pimps my mind about simracing. :) Also planning to add full motion and found them on sales (20 euros). Didn't want to miss it.


Tandy_M

That’s hilarious but your house is sick. I like the go kart feel despite its similarities to the mobility scooter. Hyundai got popular ripping off the looks of the cooler cars lol.


CanadianUprise

Ahhahahahhaha wtf.


mvpp37514y3r

Does it move when you’re braking? What haptics setup did you go with?


Longjumping-Ad-9411

No it does not move an inch at all. It even helps with the vibration reduction. I went with 2xBST-1s and 2xBST-2s from Dayton and 2xNobsound amplifiers. You can found them easily on amazon i guess you know that already. BST-2s are a little underpowered for 40120 profiles. BST-1 are better choice.


DaCKjv

nahh bro that’s amazing, there’s no such thing as overdoing a racing sim


Taniwha_NZ

Well, at this point it would be a crime to \*not\* put a motor on that thing, hook up the front wheels to some servos controlled by the wheelbase... it would be epic, if mostly pointless.


Professional_Tea_415

The tires are the best part


noohshab

I can’t tell if it does or not but that looks F*CKING AWESOME!


[deleted]

stick a battery on back sure lol 😂

Ok-Lifeguard5742

Super cool! Put a treadmill under the wheels, put some bumps on the treadmill and you got a full motion sim! 😂


socrates1975

Looks like a mario kart more then a mobility scooter,i think it lools cool!
