I BUILT AN E-BIKE THAT WHEELIES! / 1ST TEST RIDE 

dude you are the description of what I want my life to be like, photographer and drone pilot , plus motorcycles

I'm glad to hear that.

@@abrokendowncar ditto....plus e skateboard but local police will make my life hell if im seen on the board...so its ebike for me. Im looking for one now. Can't decide on the best model.

How do you like the bike a year later? Thinking about making one and wondering if i can follow this video verbatim or if you/original poster would do anything differently? Any tips? Hoping to make one in the next 20 days or so

@@doctort.quinlan4101 Haha. It’s great. They actually changed some laws in Missouri that make evokes legal on bicycle paths so it’s even better. You can go more places and not have to worry about a bunch of “Karen’s” calling the Park Rangers.

Battery is a fuel tank

That's called voltage sag.

Actually that happens when the battery is not powerful enough to provide the amps it is rated for ,in that scenario voltage drops ,if you have a powerful battery it will not drop much and even the inbuilt display will show accurate results

Mmm....probably 80/20. 80% object to noise, 20% to the people who ride where they shouldn't. I'm fine with them. Grew up with them out in the country where if your tore up the ground where you shouldn't, someone would 'splain it to you.

I bought a Voilamart kit and the tire was dead within 100km. I got a Kenda Iron Cap tire at a local bike shop and have since put hundreds of miles on it and it's as good as ever! The bike shop owner (25+ years experience) said the rim from the Voilamart kit was good. The battery level on the display I think is only reading voltage. That's why it reads lower when the motor is engaged. I always go by the level indicator on my battery pack. Seeing how much cheaper the blue wraps are though - I think I'm done with buying fully-assembled battery kits from now on!

That's why I like to make my own battery packs so you know exactly what cells you are getting and you know it's done the way you want it. Or, you can have a battery pack made for you. Happy E-biking everyone! Aaron

And an 18650 battery system

I'd just like to say, v brakes, with good pads and propperly adjusted, are plenty good for 40 mph. I built a motorized bicycle that weighed 60 pounds, and went 40, and the v brakes would lift the rear tire under braking. Even with a rather chubby 230 pound me at the time. The main issue with v brakes is they are inconsistent and dont work as well in the wet. but higher end pads somewhat reduce that issue. But day to day, I never found myself wanting for brakes with a set of kool stop pads.

Disc brakes are much more expensive and more work to maintain, and in the dry conditions work no better then the good rim brakes. In the wet, disc are necessary.

What's the top speed on something like that

Get disc brakes

How do you like the bike a year later? Thinking about making one and wondering if i can follow this video verbatim or if you/original poster would do anything differently?

@@doctort.quinlan4101 love it. I have built 3 others and have put over 6000 miles on them collectively. I made my original one all wheel drive with two batteries for double the torque as well. This video will give you pretty much everything you need to get started. I would upgrade the tire and tube the kit gives you though. They wear too fast and don't have strong enough sidewalls to bank hard turns confidently.

@@TheInalkii sweet thanks man! So you wouldn’t change anything besides the tire and tube? What was the total cost for all your parts besides the frame and second battery (I’d just start out with one batter for now at least). Hoping for under 300 but could possibly stretch a bit since it will save a lot of gas in commuting. Thanks again for the reply!!

@@doctort.quinlan4101 no problem! I'd say all together for a single motor build, it cost me about 100 for the bike, 250 for the kit and 200 for the 20Ah battery. I'd say budget for 600 all together. You can get a lower Ah battery but that will cut your range down too.

Yeah and I'm sure his battery isn't rated for that much power draw which makes the voltage sag even worse, it's one of those fake 20 billion Ah kind of batteries you can find on Aliexpress. If you look you'll see it's totally square which doesn't make sense for a battery made out of round cells, usually you can see rounded corners and bumps because of the individual cells, but here I bet it's a small 10s2p 4ah type of battery but in a bigger box to make you think the capacity written on it is real.

@@imnota yeah, iv noticed that too, the square corners do seem very sketchy, also he did mention in the previous video about this bike that he bought the battery and kit from ebay so it could also be wrong info

I have a kd21c display on my bike any ideas how to take speed limit off?

@@mikes0121 search for a manual in pdf format on google, you should find a few results, just keep in mind if it is a prebuilt ebike you may be out of luck

@@socialfreak6900 ok thanks i will have a look ive been told i can take the restriction off the only way ive made it abit faster is adjusting the wheel size to the smallest on the display for me a exstra 5mph but makes speedo inaccuratei have a mac wheel cruise 550 moutain bike

4 packs in series? like im doing with my sla agm's i assume. what voltage? i could use a bit more power and range pulling a full trailer load!

I'm jealous of the LiPo, I'd love to get a LiPo instead of an Li-Ion, little more temperamental to charging habits, easy to kill if you don't know them well, but much high performance xD

@@faulker6751 88.8v nominal 100.8 Fully Charged. Bike goes about 100 kph

@@geoffwagner4935 Agreed. You have to get the proper chargers. Disconnect and Connect the batteries many times but by the performance I am getting totally Worth it. Tattu Sells 12s Lipo with bms and Balancer integrated. It is an amazing solution but a bit more expansive. Ideal if you dont want hassle and can afford it

How do you overvolt these motors

100% true

It is

@King Rafal ROFLL 😆🤣

I like electric and fuel powered machines, both have strong and advantages and disadvantages.

I want to look into that too! But first hydraulic disk brakes. To all my E-bike Brothers an Sisters....... Be safe out there!! Aaron

Now your talkin!!!! Extreme speed!! I love it all!!!!

@@colinbaird3673 Sweet E-bike Colin I'm very jealous!! I have over 1500 bucks invested in my ebike and it's nothing special. Supposed to be 2000 watts but barely makes it up hills. Very disappointed!!!! Take care and be safe!! Aaron

@@aaronbinder6903 maybe try a more powerful controller mine is running to 50amp controllers with pas and throttle also have 3 power setting when i first built it was running 2 17amp controllers was still fast but now it is to fast on position 3 leave it in 1 which is 25amps on each wheel you also need a decent battery mine is 30ah or 1.6kw helps with the hills

E bikes are considered mopeds in many states? That's tighter regulations than in Europe...

Don't be scared.

@@norxcontacts I've ridden a crap bicycle with an outboard friction drive motor (essentially a gas-powered chop saw motor with the shaft pinched against the rear wheel) and I'm happy to say that I felt much safer exceeding 30mph downhill with a full coverage motorcycle helmet than I would have with a typical bicycle helmet. Such motorized bikes inherently have LESS bodywork and framing to protect the rider than a typical scooter, so the rider has to assume MORE responsibility for his own safety.

I have 20Ah battery which stops giving power after less than 8 miles. Can you tell what could be the problem?

Is it a new built battery of a home made battery pack ? What type motor and rating are you running ? It’s all relative. If you have a 509w hub motor like I do and only get 8 miles somethings seriously wrong but if you tell me it’s a 1500w motor and your 300lbs and doing that 8 miles stretch at 28-35 mph it might be fairly accurate but even then I’d say you’d get 12-15 miles in my scenario More then likely sounds like an worn battery or you have a few bad cells etc

this is because you suddenly get one bar battery.

Well. I finally got my Voilamart 1500 watt kit and it doesn't work.!! I checked all connections 30 times or more. I reached out to Voilamart but they are no help at all. They said they need proof that's it not working!! How the Heck am I supposed to do that??!! I'm pretty sure it's the controller so I ordered another one so we will see what happens. Later everyone. Aaron

Was it still worth it after 3 years?

@Caleb King how can you charge it with a solar panel ?

@Caleb King ok thanks

That's very good advice!! Thx!

Nah, when his charger's light changes from red to green the charge current is stopped. There will be no explosion

@@SamWall where is this information actually from ? U Gota source ?

@@ize100 if you just look up how bms's work you will find this Charging to say 80% is fine for like 5 or 10 cycles to help reduce wear but every cell in a pack are very slightly different specs to eachother from manufacturing tolerances. Even if the difference between highest and lowest capacity or internal resistance of a cell is 0.5% if they are discharged half way then charged up again to 80% below where Ballancing can start after even 10 or 20 cycles there can be a significant difference in voltages between the cells. BMS's are programmed to Ballance cells out to avoid this, however as the charger is directly connected to the main terminals how this works is high cells that hit 4.2v first are discharged with a little resistor to maintain that voltage while the low cells continue to charge to reach full voltage. If a pack never gets to fully charge this process will never get to occur and even though it can take a long time problems could start to happen if say the weaker cells end up completely discharged while the higher cells are still going strong.

@@ize100 but yeah if you look up the principles of how packs are built and how bms's operate you will understand what I am trying to get at. All I'm saying is every now and again it's definitely worth letting everything equal out! Hope that helps

How is it ?

@@ahmadf.8727 bruh I'm f loving it!!! So much better than going manual, like damn...

Which battery did you buy? I want to build the same bike, but the batterys cost in germany about 250$

@@ahmadf.8727 bruh I bought my one from Germany for $350. But it came with rear rack and it is 48v 1000w

@@ahmadf.8727 double-check if your ram will fit a that battery, if not like mine did not, buy one with rear rack from aliex, most of them also have warehouse in Germany

Hi. What's the max range you could get out of one charge??

Also, you might see packs on ebay that say theyre 99AHr and the use 18650 cells in a 13s3p configuration which would mean each cell is 33AHr. 33AHr 18650 cells dont exist, theyre lying. In fact, 10AHr 18650 cells dont exist. An 18650 cell is only capable of around 3AHr, maybe a little more so a 13s3p pack that uses 18650s cant really have a capacity more than 9AHr.

That voltage dip is also why the 'wattage readout' isnt making sense.

Pas 0 don't exist

@@sparkles9868 LOL So the power is always on no matter what. LOL

@@sparkles9868 LOL

Can you tell how far does it go in one charge?

@@muhammadaown3996 up to 25 kmh with little bit of pedaling uphills I still testing it and speed to 20km! independence of your weight my weight 80 kg

My weight is 79kg. And the bike goes 17mph for 10 minutes and then after 15 more minutes, end of battery.

@@muhammadaown3996 test battery voltage and amps maybe some of the batteries break up!

@Viking Raiders bend over and let's find out

The tire it came with is going bald after 100 miles, I only ride pavement & full speed/acceleration all the time lol

@@butterfaceee The rims are good on the Voilamart kits, but the tyres are shite. Go to a local bike shop and get a quality tire. You will get hundreds or thousands of miles from a good tire and better traction, too.

How did your build go?

@@julzhunterq got it going great, I was able to get up to 35mph

That’s awesome I think I’m going to convert bike. 👍🏻

@@julzhunterq you should totally do it

Thought about this before or maybe a small solar panel

electricity does not work in that way.

Well it can’t keep it fully charged but could help regenerate some power. Remember Physics 101 matter can’t be created or destroyed. If you had a generator on front wheel capable of fully recharging the battery while your going it would have to produce the same power your using. That said it would have so much drag it wouldn’t be practical. But if you had something very efficient you could possibly charge about 10-15% would help a bit but again not as a constant. As you’d have that given about of drag from energy you’re creating. Best way would be regenerative braking that if you’re coming to a stop you could engage. This could take all the kinetic force (Motion) and turn it into power (volts) to recharge the battery somewhat But for riding in the country or open trails it would be useless almost. For a city commute bike it might be a great idea IMO. even if it only recharges 10-15% that extends your range proportionally if you were getting 30 miles on a charge you’ll get 33-34.5 miles. The more you stop the more energy you regain. Tesla uses this strategy where you almost don’t need to apply the brakes.

This! Do you mean Unipack power by any chance? How is the performance? One of the reasons I'm still undecided what to buy mainly comes from the battery. So many sketchy batteries out there!

I hear noise in the video.

How to fix that?

@@heatherwhite9630 It's not something you can "fix", it's just a characteristic of lithium ion batteries. The lower the internal resistance of the cells in the battery pack, the less sag there is. LiPo batteries typically don't have as much voltage sag. Either way, the voltage goes back up after you decrease the load.

A more precise way to measure battery charge though is by using a separate display that measures current rather than voltage, also known as a "coulomb counter". This is how battery level is measured in your laptop or phone.

TheGrayWolf81 where do you learn stuff like this

@@heatherwhite9630 lots of Googling, reading, and conversing with people on forums, and experience from working with electronics. If you're interested in learning more about ebikes, I recommend you check out Endless-Sphere.
