BigRig Creates builds functional replica of Kirby Air Ride's Wheelie Scooter

YouTuber and content creator BigRig Creates, best known for producing detailed real-world replicas of video game props, has built a fully functional Wheelie Scooter from Kirby Air Ride. And yes, before you ask, he actually rides it while wearing a Kirby costume!

The project video also features a guest appearance from content creator Failboat! Check it out below:

To replicate the Wheelie Scooter, BigRig Creates began his project by using an InMotion E20, a dual-wheeled self-balancing electric unicycle that is similar in concept to a Segway. The E20’s compact form and self-stabilizing mechanism made it an ideal foundation for replicating the Wheelie Scooter’s balanced design.

The base vehicle was completely reworked, as BigRig rewired and modified the scooter’s internal components to accommodate a newly fabricated outer frame designed to resemble the Kirby Air Ride model extracted from the original Nintendo GameCube game. Using CAD software and a Bambu P2S 3D printer, BigRig produced custom body panels, frame components, and detailing that closely match the proportions and colors of the in-game vehicle — and we think it came out fantastic!

The result is remarkably faithful to the original GameCube game model. His final iteration of the Wheelie Scooter maintains the Air Ride Machine's distinct color scheme, curved seat assembly, and rounded front housing. It's even complete with the beloved wheel eye that every iteration of Wheelie has!

Now all BigRig Creates needs to do is build a few more Air Ride Machines and host a race...
