This is my new CRAnger, but my builder is making more of them and calling them a Quasar Lithium Commando. It's a ridiculous scooter type thing modeled after a Kuberg ranger.

Custom built frame by Manny Guerrero out of a CR80R with adult size springs, 20s8p molicel P42A, custom built battery (also Manny) em200/2 at 250a (300a BMS). Qs138v3, and it barely gets warm after draining an entire battery in minutes 😂. It has 2 different wheelsets, a 14/19 setup for the dirt and a 14/17 to make it steer quicker (sketchy) on the street. I modeled it after a Kuberg ranger, but it has a little more wheelbase and obviously more suspension and a better designed floorboard which hopefully will reduce the number of times I go over the bars when I hit a stump 😂

I've been getting a lot of hate on Reddit and Facebook because no matter where I post it they say "that's not a scooter/bike/motorcycle. Hopefully you guys will just be happy for me and my new toy.

Also, it isn't finished yet, the frame needs powder coating (orange) and all the aluminum bits need polished along with some other small cosmetics and more functional stuff like a chain guard 😂

Im all about Manny and his battery/bike builds :thumb: Id ride the wheels off that thing,looks cool :D
 
Lol, no idea what this thing even is but it sure looks like a lot of fun. :lol:
So you just stand on that aluminum plate on the bottom? isn't the position exhausting?

It looks well built, lots of nice metal work there. :thumb:

The position is quite relaxed, with a very open cockpit. As you can see in the video it's much easier than standing on a motorcycle. I'm 6'3" and I'm not hunched over at all, just leaning forward to counter acceleration. You stagger your feet so you can move your upper body, along with moving around on the deck depending on what you are doing. You stand on the back and lean back to add traction, etc... But it's the most comfortable vehicle to ride standing up I've ever ridden. It's literally made for it.

It looks a bit odd, but it sure is on topic :wink:
I mean, it must be either a motorcycle or scooter..

So it seems to be built from a dirtbike fork, swing and the rear part of the frame. Then a custom made center part?
(It looks like the sprocket on the motor sits a little high).
It looks light, I think it can be a real performer :)
