Electric Motorcycle Build - E-Bike - Gen II, Ep 1: Trellis Chassis
Hey guys. In this video I'm going to build the new trellis chassis for the electric motorcycle. As some of you know, I built the original bike exactly 2 years ago and have been driving it and thinking about all the modifications that I'd like to do to it since. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the link below.
I built the frame and swingarm for the original bike using 11 guage 1"x3" steel tubing, and it's plenty strong enough but at 30 lbs for just the main frame alone, it's a bit on the heavy side for the size of the bike. I used a similar geometry and came up with a trellis design using 1" diameter and 3/4" diameter by 0.083" thick walled DOM steel tubing to make it strong but a lot lighter, which I show with a comparison between the two frames at the end of the video. When I say geometry, I'm referring to things like 26° rake angle, 4" trail, 54" wheelbase, etc. It's very similar to most 300cc sport bikes, and will subsequently handle like one. I'll share more of those details with the plans when I post them on the website.

That frame is beautiful. Awesome job man

@JamesBiggar Год назад

Thanks!

@morkovija Год назад

it's like as if we could watch davinci narrate and film his inventions creation process. thank you!

@paulwyleciol3459 Год назад

funny, me as an artist thought about the first bike-welders more than 100 years ago and how excited they maybe felt ...

@muhammedalam8824 Месяц назад

Very well done and explained beautifully. Thanks James. I have learned a lot.

@rogereheadbyrne4790 Год назад

🇬🇧That, James is a work of Art!💯 I'm very proud to be Subscribed! I used to be a fabricator in a welding shop and watching all you do brings back nice memories!👍. 🤘😎🤘

@ReignitedAuto Год назад

That's a beautiful chassis design you've made, and I'm jealous of that chassis jig as well! 👍

@hippie-io7225 Год назад

Thank you for sharing processes that few of us get to observe! As usual, beautiful design and execution.

@pineapplegritz7281 Год назад

You make it sound so technical. Me, I'd be like...put this thing in this. That didn't work. So I did this and got mad for awhile and quit. 😆

@Suedzville Год назад

I really enjoyed the first bike build. Watched it many times over and over. I can already tell this build will be no different.

@ballerblocks Год назад

living my dreams through your videos, (I dream one day I would be able to turn metal into something beautiful like you do.) absolutely stunning work, and the ability to bring imagination to life.

@darthgbc363 Год назад

I learned lots of new tricks here. A tool you could build & use - simple as exhaust clamp. Clamp to round tubing to get a flat reference before using tube bender. Really handy for lining up multiple bends on single piece. I made a square with a hole (size of tube) then cut in half. Added two counter bored holes on one half & tapped hole on other. Easy to clamp to tube with socket head bolts.

@mitta8218 3 месяца назад

I really admire your work with the tools that you have. I have a lot of professional tools yet I can’t make a average bbq set…😅

@denismilic1878 11 месяцев назад

This is the best frame-building video, period! I learned many things from it. I'm very, very picky when I rarely subscribe to channels but you definitely deserve a place on my shortlist.

@AmateurInventor Год назад

Well, this dude got some real talent under his sleeves, got plans for his previous build, can't wait to see the plans for this one too. one man army. Hat's off to you man.

@da_SpiffR Год назад

Outstanding work James! Looking forward to the next in the series.

@oscarpadron5107 Год назад

Your work is incredible, James... We look forward to the next chapters... Congratulations.

@wowcow1766 Год назад

Love all your build.

@hangfire5005 Год назад

You can get an app on your phone that does angles and bubble level. The sensors in phones are as good or better than what's in the tools. Mine is dead on.

@bismuth7730 Год назад

I learned so much from this video. Thank you!

@JamesBiggar Год назад

Glad it was helpful!

@RonaldFinger Год назад

Absolutely beautiful, James. That's some seriously incredible work!

@JamesBiggar Год назад

Thanks!

@A.StarVT Год назад

The two year wait was worth it and the body looks proper, can't wait for mk II's next installment

@williamcarroll5402 Год назад

I'm really looking forward to the next episode. With these inspirations I'm starting to develop my electric motorcycle, here in Brazil

@HighVoltageKits Год назад

That jig is cool!

@srenhejnfelt2827 Год назад

@WaveMaster1406 Год назад

YES! I'm so excited when I see new project from James! 😁😁

@ethoslogospathos Год назад

I'd love to see this a little longer, FAT tires, as a Cruiser. Great work!

@hishampaqi6024 Год назад

U doing very will. We love u.

@rickreid8149 Год назад

Look forward to seeing the results this reminds me of the Duke monster

@geemy9675 Год назад

Wow, impressive. It would be nice to see the same quality put into a mid drive electric motorcycle! I know its probably a bit more work with the gearing, chain, tensioning, etc but probably worth it and you get tuning of the gearing, better rear suspension, less weight, and probably more reliability in return

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 you are the man this frame build is sick! Excellent work my guy!!

@user-pr6iz4uc1y Год назад

One of the best.So ımpressive result. My best regards👍👍👍

@Specky12 Год назад

Another great build James. I like the narration. It reminds me of a Harris Magnum frame from the UK.

@RGOmd Год назад

Glad I discovered your channel!! Can't wait for your build to progress! Good luck! Thank you

very nice frame

@taylorhancuff9401 Год назад

Brilliant! I’ve grown to really enjoy your work on your channel! I feel like there really isn’t a limit to what you can do! Have you thought of your next project yet? It would be interesting to see you attempt something like the Jetson One. Where you build the cage and custom batteries to fit and then order in some controllers and bldc motors. I mean flight has to be your next direction Id assume at this point! Thanks again!

@JamesBiggar Год назад

LOL, we'll see :)

@wuttmodel3232 Год назад

Verry good idia sir

@nuttyDesignAndFab Год назад

nice! good thinking to copy known geometry; so many people slap stuff together and it handles super sketchy.

Just two worbs : you rocks !

@michelpillard5404 Год назад

words, sorry

@phantomedgedamascus2388 Год назад

well done.. great skills... gonna wait for the next video. the contraption really helps a lot.

@archangel_yt8116 Год назад

I like the design you chose. Looks very clean and badass at the same time. Hopefully one day ill be able to do a project like this

@norihiro01 Год назад

@antoniofranklyn5923 Год назад

This was an awesome video to watch. I look forward to the rest to come.

@greghankins6669 Год назад

that is impressive to see how much can be done with different design. losing the 20 lbs is significant.

@Codyhumburg Год назад

This is my favorite video! Great job

@JamesBiggar Год назад

Thanks!

@tomwagemans1872 Год назад

Love the frame build! The only thing I would change is to make the dropout for the rear wheel a bit stronger. I have mountainbikes which have beefier ones . They take a real beating. Just wouldn't want to see you get hurt.

@JamesBiggar Год назад

Thanks. They'll be fine though. I've done this quite a few times already, and they're far more robust than the small aluminum dropouts on any dirt bike I've ridden - they take far more beating than a mtb. 3/16" steel is pretty tough.

@chrisdoucs Год назад

I'm already looking forward to the next video, because the frame has become really nice!! There is also a lot of work involved, which is not always evident in a video. Really great work. ;- )

@martinlisandrotorres6691 Год назад

Posees un talento enorme.

@steveseeger Год назад

Do you have a trick for eyeballing measurements between tubing. Just ball park the angle of your eye in front to 90 each time? This comes up in wood working sometimes I find too.

@terlahirjawa Год назад

It's cool man

@xuanthanhtv1744 Год назад

good 😍

@billi5920 Год назад

Been a joy to watch your skills grow James! Well done with this, it looks amazing so far!

@JamesBiggar Год назад

@upaiaq Год назад

Thanks for sharing your knowledge,I don't have any experience with fabrication or welding but want to start a project with my 15 year old son...and daughter if she is interested.Does anyone have any recommendations for courses or tutorials on tube bending? What type of welding should be learned first? Mig or TIg? Ty

@jeffreymoffitt4070 Год назад

Check out the P-51 ebike, the design is super simple but is lacking power. I want a highway bike designed like it

@JamesBiggar Год назад

I assume you're referring to the small ebike and not the confederate P51? I like the confederate much better lol, only problem is it's powered by gas. But I'm using a similar set of girder forks with this one.

I lime your pipebender, can it be possible if i can ask some of the process of of making one?, im from the philippines and i admire your r work ciz i love building bike chassis

@andrewsanderson3702 Год назад

It's just a shame someone like this fella hasn't taken the initiative and used old motorbike frames slightly adapted and launched an electric motorbike firm using recycled old motorbike parts !
