How much torque can I get from this inside-out two-stage planetary gearbox? Find out in Tuesday's YouTube video - it's part 1 of a new walking machine I can ride on!

All the scrap plastic is taken by Handy Dan's 3D prints and recycled. The spools go back to 3DFuel for reuse.

This motorbike has balls of wheel - Realcool Did that pun work? I think it was good, but not as good as this Omni-Directional Ball-Wheeled Bike.

This might just be the coolest thing I’ve ever, ever seen on YouTube.

@xrobots.bsky.social is clearly having a ball here!

The motors top out at 60 revs/second, and there still needs to be enough overhead to balance!

Yes just friction and the bike (and me) on top. Mostly.
