Balancing an Electric Hub Motor

home brew way or balancing a hub motor as they cannot fit into any traditional wheel balancing machines.

Pretty sure you just saved me a crap ton of trouble. Thanks!!

Ha ha ha silly me a month later and I'm still trying to get it sorted.

And an hour after that the wobble is gone. I had a tire that was severely out of round, and once the new tire was on it needed about 125 grams in just the right spot. But I finally have a smooth ride!

That is a big cafe latte. Cheers!

😮 Thanks for this Video.. excellent idea that should help a lot of us.

This bike build is awesome! I would love to see more bike or maybe a four wheeler project

[@Toasta-Builds]

More to come!

[@MasterIvo]

@@Toasta-Builds really more to come?

[@mountainlion4853]

Most excellent and useful

[@molifehacks5258]

Is there an easier way to balance the hub motor? I thought they make a balancing machine for these motors...

[@ryans1972]

All the videos on KZbin, that swingarm looks the most rigid. Did you make that custom, if not what bike was that from? I noticed you had another video that had another swingarm for the same hub motor. Which one fit the best with the disk brakes? Thanks

[@Toasta-Builds]

Thanks man. It’s a Honda cb1300 swingarm with modified dropouts . It’s beefy

[@jaybones614]

What's that grinder?

[@ragib-A2l]

How much cost???

[@tavi7]

How loud is the motor when riding on the road?

[@Toasta-Builds]

Dead silent. Discovered how noisey tyres are haha

[@TexMackerson]

I'm not a bike guy, so, why is this important?

At the very least, a well balanced wheel provides a smoother ride. Hub motor wheels are notoriously bad in that regards. In more performance scenarios, a tyre that vibrates less has better, more constant contact with the asphalt. That translates to better grip. And grip is everything.
