You're a real teacher! Thanks for these explanations. Will do it tomorrow. I was stuck with a counter clockwise motor and could not sort it out. Hi From Réunion Island, Indian OCean.
Excellent, methodical and easily followed sir. You articulate technical instructions clearly where so many others struggle to express themselves. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoy your videos. Your cover a lot of practical topics with great problem solving details especially when you’re repurposing hardware that has no documentation with it. Thanks for taking the time to do these!
Great job this is a great tutorial on how to hook up motor I'm glad to see you didn't just use music and no explanation we need more people to make videos like yours I don't want to watch nobody talking and just see music you did a great job at this video
wow this is exactly the process that I used to reuse an old ebike motor with a new controller! it can be allot of work but 2500km later was completely worth it
this video was one of the best i have ever watched to learn wire testing. i also have like 6 different controllers that all are different. i wish you were my neighbor and you could help me!
Mate , you left nothing out and explain everything simply and effectively . Your the best , I wish all these other idiots making videos could learn something from you
I've been watching your videos ever since the one you made about reviving dead 18650's by jumping them in parallel with a good cell. I appreciated how you include the "why" and not just the "how". Electronics channels that don't have any speaking and quickly show exactly how to do something... Let's just say they are not for me and I'm tired of skipping them. Anyway, I thought I subscribed a long time ago. I'm sub'd now. Keep up the good work, my bro
I wish that I would have found this video about 3 days ago whenever I was in another town about 160 miles from home and working on a friends e-trike! Good information here..the procedure to determine correct phase wiring is what I really needed!
So this video is awesome. I have had that lawnmower sitting around for a while after getting it at auction. Well on monday I pulled the motor out for an ebike and yesterday this video get released with the exact same motor. Still eyeballing controllers and such but this helps a lot.
your videos are straight forward, you act like we do, poking at the wires, but you show us what is what, after watching a few videos you can really get a grasp on the fundamentals when it comes to controllers, DID YOU SAY YOU RODE THAT FOR 10 YEARS! wow
I love those brushless lawn mower motors! I’ve got a few of them salvaged from a dumpster and rigged one up onto a little razor mini dirtbike, from a different dumpster. Got a cheap 1500W controller and that tiny bike is a BEAST now! I was powering it with 84v battery (made with two modified 40v ryobi packs in series) for a while but had to switch to a smaller 72v pack after one of the ryobi packs started having issues. I live on the side of an insanely steep volcano (Big Island, Hi) and it speeds up the steepest grades effortlessly. It was one of those rare projects that just went together with very little effort or modification. Now I’m just searching for a slightly bigger frame because despite attaching a taller seat and modifying the handlebars I barely fit on the little Razor MX350 frame. Hopefully some day I can find a frame from a MX500 or MX650 to use since they have suspension and disk brakes. 🤞 Love your videos! Keep up the good work. Mahalo! 🤙
@clstrc594 any brushless e-bike controller will work! I’ve ran them with over 80v on a 2,000w controller no problem. Just make sure whatever it’s connected to is geared correctly and that it doesn’t get too hot in use.
@@maukaman im planning to use one of these motors for an electric mini bike build. What sort of Amps were you pushing through it at 72v? Any idea on the best gearing, 6:1?
@@alexfrancis7093 I believe the most I ever put through that particular motor (inrunner style mower motor) was 2700 watts or so but It seemed like it could possibly handle more if geared correctly. They are pretty torque-y motors but if you want that wheelie torque or you climb hills you’ll want something like 1:7 gear ratio. I probably used 1:8 or so since I live on the steep side of a volcano 🤙
@@alexfrancis7093 it does depend on the exact motor you use, some of the newer ryobi mowers use an out-runner style motor and may have a slightly different shaft. I’ll have to get back to you about the shaft dimensions when I get back home, but mine had a double-D type indent a little larger than the typical my1020 sprocket found in the little Razor bikes. I just filed the sprocket out from one of those to fit
Very good and informative video, now let's see one where someone gives you a controller that has the connectors cut off and work out what each one does
I SEE SEE--SAID THE BLIND MAN! I EXPECT MORE SCRAPES AND SCRATCHES FROM THESE BIG MOTORS! YOU MUST BE A SKILLED RIDER AND AN ELECTRONICS WIZ!! THANKS--LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT PRESENTATION.
Thank you this video. This is the missing key I've been looking for. I have this exact same motor and I've been trying to crack this code. You're awesome
This is great!, I love tinkering with things this, I've built 3 different racing simulation chassis..used an old 90's honda e brake from a scrap yard and added it to the chassis with wood and rubber mounts and etc... even went so far as to go to the pawn shop for some old speakers and made 3 different Bass transducers and added them under my racing chair, the pedal deck, and under my shifters! The smaller one under my shifters!.. If tour driving a good racing Sim, you can even feel when you grind the clutch in your hands and feet mostly
Actually have that same exact bike. But mine has a brushless motor on it. But anyways the video definitely tells me about another project I'm working on with are brushless motor and controller thank you for your videos
Combo no4 beautiful spot on perfect good teaching man this could actually save lives in many situations ie air or water pump or oxygen pump or generator or lift etc etc good job good teaching Thank you....edit... I nearly forgot and ebike power 💪 I'm glad I subbed to your channel because not knowing this knowledge could cost many trials and errors etc
I am absolutely waiting for you to mount that 40 volt motor on something so I can see how practical it is to use. I have many batteries and controllers but good motors are hard to come by.
This video is very helpful to me. I have an Ebike brushless motor that will run pedal assist and doesn't comes Throttle Twist Control. I'm thinking if I can add Throttle Twist on my Ebike. Hoping for this video. Thank you for making this video possible.
Hey, great video! I literally have the exact same motor setup out of my lawn mower that I salvaged in hopes of putting it on my bike upon everything the same as you said my whole sensor wires are showing 16 volts instead of 2.5 volts like each one of yours wires showed and it doesn't matter if I'm pulling the trigger to turn the lawn mower motor on or not. Also my motor I'm sure you can tell I am not able to get it running but it was running 5 minutes prior to being taken out
Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much. But what if you only have the motor and not the whole setup with the old controller. Then how do you find the positive 5V wire of the hall effect sensors.
Thank you, this helps a lot figuring out my atlas 80 volt mower. My controller died. I think I can still find ground and they did mark the power wire red so that helps a lot. Does under bolting hurt a BLDC motor? It’s a 80 volt max system but nominally 74 volts. I will likely have to settle on a 72 volt controller. Most likely will need to use a lower voltage pack and make my own battery vs the 20S battery they use. Good mower just cheap controllers.
I hate that the plugs never fit... Soldered the Hall wires to the controller and put shrinking tube on it. For the Motor phase wires i used butt connector waterproof. Running fine, but not feeling safe with it
Would you have a photo of what the board looks like and the position of the hall sensors inside the engine? I have a motor like this but it doesn't have hall sensors and I would like to install it!
So great ...what about the torque ..is it powrful motor? ...did you thenk that can it runing a scooter perfectly ...i just ask that ...because i see this motor on aliexpress ..with low price ...i hope that you help me about that and give me all information about it ...thank you so much ...great channel
Awesome video. I have all Ryobi tools... except my mower is a Greenworks. Tried running it on 3 series Ryobi batts. It would run 3 secs then stop and beep. Turns out the controller and battery talk back and forth. So.... All I need is a 60V controller and I can ditch my Greenworks battery?
Hi, I want to say thank you for all your videos. and and very instructive, I really hope you can help me with something. I purchased a three thousand watt, 48- 72 v vevor kit Which ran great Using a forty eight volt battery, But now that I'm using a 72v battery 20ah with 50 bms, frome btr power The motor hesitates. And it does not go full power., Do you have any suggestions? What could be the problem if so, please help. Oh, the seventy two volt battery is brand new.
🚴 Thank You for all you are sharing with us and Very greatful for the lessons here! I am working an old A2B 2010-ish version with PAssist, 36 volt 500 watt cruiser metro and the 7 pin connector from the hub has the 2 wire battery output + and - along with the and 5 smaller ones on it. I am sure the 3 of those are for halls and not sure of the other two.. possible old halogen light and 7th pin maybe a 5VDC. Trying to chose and buy a higher amp controller to bypass the inner hub controller along with a new battery kit and display for it. I know bit about how they worm but it is still pretty overwhelming. Would you think the controller you have here would work for it? Kind Regards
