Should I ask for people to crowdfund my 120mph hyperscooter or go the long way to build it?

I plan to build the fastest electric scooter in the world and make it a product, but the only thing that gets in the way of me achieving that is my income. It's not even close to enough to get a loan to start the project (damn near $9k build cost because of tariffs), which is around $28.9k per year with B2I granting $1k per month. Also, I need it to be able to get a higher position at my job so I have better income, and so I can test the full limits of electric scooters, and set a couple world records while I'm at it.
