Looks Dangerous: Homemade Batpod Built In Vietnam

July 31, 2012 / batman, building things out of other things, crotch rocket, diy, engineering genius, good job, holy smokes, homemade, i am impress, i'd sit on it -- i doubt you could get me to actually drive it though, is that red wire the brakes?, motorcycle, scrap metal, vehicle, video, vietnam, vroom vroom, wow, zoom zoom kabloom

This is a video of the Batpod inspired motorcycle some engineering genius managed to piece together in Vietnam. It's pretty damn impressive considering it looks like it was built entirely out of parts that had fallen off other cars. Granted it's not something I'd risk MY life driving, but if I'm gonna die testing a homemade vehicle you can bet that sweet, dimply ass of yours it's gonna be a rocket-pack. *bending over doggy-style on launch ramp* Quick, somebody light my fuse!

Hit the jump for the video.

Thanks to Terrance, who generally steers clear of blatantly homemade crotch rockets. You know, for safety's sake.

  • Guy Builds Himself Batman's Tumbler
    August 6, 2008
    Bob Dullam went and built himself Batman's Tumbler using nothing but photos of the vehicle and the actual movies. It cost somewhere between $50,000-$70,000 to complete and was built entirely by himself. It looks freaking wicked. Good looking, Bob. Next, he plans to construc... / Continue →
  • Another Day, Another Homemade Scrap Metal Batpod
    August 27, 2012
    Because building your own scrap metal Batpod is like THE THING to do in Vietnam, here comes another one. No clue if this is the same guy as before, but I doubt it because this guy actually wears a helmet. The smarter Batpod builder we'll call him. This is a fully functiona... / Continue →
  • Human Sized Go-Cart Made Of LEGO (Well, Mindstorm)
    August 29, 2012
    This is a go-cart made by Eric Seenstra using nothing but LEGO pieces. It actually goes (although apparently it's a work in process and can't be steered yet), can carry at least the weight of at least that skinny kid in the picture, and probably won't win in a round of Mario K... / Continue →

  • OK…it’s quite obvious as soon as the rider hits his brakes hard, the handle bars will snap off and he’ll go head first onto the street, getting run over by his own bike! I strongly recommend a recall!

  • This is simultaneously awesome and scary.

  • ahill

    What is it's 0-60 shopping mall specs?

  • oranberry

    But does it turn?

  • Shaun9lives

    Not very well with car tires, but if he mounted actual motorcycle wheels this thing would be pretty badass.

  • Don't have a Batpod & cash to buy one? Build it. Nice try, Bruce Lee Wayne...

  • Taitter

    Anne Hathaway's butt would be way too low on that version.

  • TheCheapGamer

    I'd let her butt get low...
    *ba dum tss*

  • It does need fake guns (spray-painted pipes) for that true look.

  • As it is in Vietnam they could simply mount two AK-47s, definitely more badass.

  • Also it needs wheels that call roll sideways.
