E-Bike Fast Electric Chopper Conversion 

That's seriously wicked... I have a Stingray frame I pulled out of a dumpster and I;m looking into putting a motor on it after I rehab.

You can double your range by adding another battery pack and connecting in parallel. Or you could simply use a switch to go from one battery to the other.

@SparkPlugSP It's the kids version of the stingray. the adult version is called the spoiler and has extended chopper forks.

i made myself an Electric Schwinn Stingray Chopper last week i laced a hub motor in the rear wheel and it works great i have not yet measured the speed but i will

@Microglia1 there are two sets of foot rests. One through crank and there are pegs on the forks.

Would there be more torque if the kit was on the rear wheel? Where could I get a fully assemble unit?

@SparkPlugSP Front direct drive motors from E-BikeKit require 100mm between front dropouts(where the axle goes into the fork). This is standard.

E-BikeKit does not sell this bike. they do sell the front hub motor, controller and e-bike kit accessories.

@jkportfolio 14-20 miles depending on rider weight and route.

very awesome. wouldn't it make sense to add a charge to the opposite tire so the times between wall charging would be increased?

Subscribed! I have an OCC chopper kind of like yours, except i'm putting alot of money into customizing mine with looks. Plus mine doesn't have a motor lol. Do you have a video that shows how you installed the motor?

The front is actually stronger because it has a double-walled rim to support the extra weight and torque.

It would be waaaaaay cool to have 2 battery packs in a "V Twin" configuration, to evoke the Harley mistique.

your camera makes the sound of the wind like a space rocket launch... if some1 listens only the sound of this video will think that your bike is supersonic... :P Nice work though i really love electric bikes especially those that are fast and cool looking.. :D

can you tell me where i could buy one of the Schwinn Stingray Choppers? I'm trying to make my own electric bike and i like the look of that frame

What are you using for Batteries? since you video was posted in 09...... what are the better batteries available now?

i wish to convert my schwinn also on rear drive ebike... but the motor i got has 20 spokes compared of its 24..also i want to maintain the pedal, cos im used to my ebike pedaling/its faster that way, to activate the motor instead of the control...

Nice job! Is that the stock rear wheel on the Schwinn, I did not see it for sale on your web site.

@Jkenville91 front works well for this bike. It is hard to lace the motor in a 4inch rear like this. That said we have done that also. We used a motorcycle wheel and spokes for building a rear. That bike can be seen in the community>photo gallery>spectacular custom projects at e-bikekit . com

nice chopper, but one question, where do you put your feet?????

Eu moro na praia de Itapoá em Santa Catarina, Brasil, e aqui as pessoas gostam muito de bikes. Gostei muito do que vi até agora sobre choppers etc. Eu tenho uma também marca Olympic Stiletto. Parabéns a quem tem essas lindas máquinas. Lana.

@Nicholasishot This bike you can find for between $40 and $250 depending. The kit is $1150+ extra pack from e-bikekit . com

Basically a complete kit plus another battery so about $1275. That's not including the chopper itself. This chopper was $60 at a yard sale.

This takes about 2.6 hours to charge from 10-100% using 2 x 3.5amp chargers.

@Grimmjowking This bike was purchased at a garage sale. Recommend searching ebay.

per ride is about 25 minutes at avg speed of 26MPH.

You blew a stop sign.....awesome!

did you cut the seats extension pipe out?

How long does the battery last? Mile wise

how well does the front wheel drive work?

@flowjo25 500w direct drive motor from E-BikeKit.

You'll have more power going up hill if you installed the hub at rear wheel

I would like to do this with my OCC-CB but it would be nice if the motor offered some type of braking since the brake on the rear wheel is pretty weak.

You would gain some top speed but mostly you would double the torque. Unless you know how to reconfigure the controller you would need two completely separate systems and throttles to make it happen. It can be done though. If you want to know how ask at Endless Sphere Technology Forum.

how many volts ? you use ? what controller ?

nice job. Would it have been possible to build it Rear Wheel drive? Not street legal, but can you drive it in a bike lane?

how much would that setup cost?

bout how long does the battery live?

@pochul 72v. Modified E-BikeKit controller.

Um, where those Crocks?

@cyberpine can'r ide this legally on roads or in bike lanes...especially not in bike lanes:)

how fast is it

that is with rider at 215pnds.

nice clean build. video quality could use some work though : )

@insanityawakens visit E-BikeKit on the web for installation videos.

whats the range?

@patrikk777 More AH(Amp-Hours) equals more distance.

I can't understand what you are saying due to you are too close to the mic!

cool

Cool i sehr gut

crocs rock

@PR1V4T3B0B removed cranks.

91leeman u right lol
