Building a very cheap e bike with hoverboard motor - easy conversion

[@hennybutabi]

Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think in the comments below ;)

[@k_szaf]

Originally, the motor is wired in Star configuration. If you rewire it from star to delta, the motor will spin from the original 700 rpm to even 1200 rpm ! That means you'll gain a lot more speed.

Lets assume you don't live in a very dry country and the drive wheel and tire get wet. Lets say you're Skimming to work and you tyre goes through a splash of oil of another car and you're 7 hours late to work due to drive slippage? A Design that needs some Design.

I always thought electric vehicles are to quiet and dangerous but with your brilliant genius you have solved the problem ! 👍🏻😂

[@codebeat4192]

Great subject. I think you need to add a splashback above the wheel (to avoid water splashing against your coat and to avoid something above it can hit the wheel) and a spring/tension system that follows the surface of the wheel. The spring/tension system could also you enable to temprorarily disable the wheel (take off in pause position). This idea is actually something like a Berini (1949) or Solex (1946) with a clip-on motor/engine.

[@richardlongmore9301]

Loved this project and Just what I was thinking. Yes put the motor on a hinge andI a gear-lever like a handbrake in a car to disable it

[@fmphotooffice5513]

Best part, non destructive solution. Worst part, needs an anti-"Isadora Duncan" shield. I like the attention to neat minimalist construction. A lot of videos have rusty half-assery and motors that won't run very long before they fail.

WHY NOT USE BOTH MOTORS?????

[@MrBilld75]

What a totally interesting and unique build! It kind of reminds me of the old tire driven bike lights we had back in the day. It sat on the fork or tail and was a spring loaded device you could move out of the way in the daytime. But then flip it onto the wheel at night. And it was just a textured small metal wheel, that used the spin of the tire to spin itself as it rubbed on it and generated power to the generator it was attached to on your fork or tail. No batteries, just pedal/tire powered. I had my doubts about how fast it would go, or how well it would work, based on when you fired it up in the shop, upside down. It looked like there might be a loss of traction between the two wheels. But I see how your logic worked there. Once it's upright and your weight is on it, there's going to be flex in the frame and it will make the two meet perfectly. Good thinking, because had you mounted it closer, there might be too much contact and friction/resistance and reverse torque. Once you were riding it, you could see there was absolutely no loss of friction between the two wheels and perfect contact and minimal over friction and reverse torque. Just enough to drive the wheel forward solidly and it looked like any other front or rear hub or mid drive ebike. Bravo! So easy to replace too now that the bracket is built.

[@hillppari]

Dynamos arent old they are still a thing. mostly in hub dynamos tho

[@MrBilld75]

@@hillppari Yeah, I just saw the old school light dynamo devices still being sold. I guess with the resurgence in vintage stuff, including vintage bikes, they saw a market for some nice chrome classic styled bike lights, driven the classic way. They are mighty sharp looking too, very much suitable for a 1950's/'60s themed bike and is styled after the old school car headlights.

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

What is “reverse friction”?

[@MrBilld75]

@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Reverse torque (or friction) happens in all electric motors. It's a side effect of spinning against something and seperate from regular friction, but related. Like even the parts of the motor and fighting against itself, not necessarily an external force (although it happens with or without load). Bearings, for all that they smooth friction and movement, cause a slight resistance of their own in the motor. The shaft and the brushes rubbing against the commutator etc. That's back torque, or reverse friction/torque. The magnets in the motor also contribute to it. Additional force, against the motor basically, that friction from elsewhere cannot fully account/isn't responsble for. Slight usually, but they all add up. The idea for generators which eliminate this, is highly sought after for generators that can generate more power than you put in. The quest for perpetual motion machines, we've been chasing for centuries, that's what it's related to. Mind you, not really full perpetual motion, we've given up on that, but close to it, getting way energy out than you put in, no losses=super efficiency. And it looks like India, not long ago, created the first generator/motor, that is so smooth, it's frictionless and eliminates all back torque too (back torque was the final hurdle). The ultimate in efficiency. So reverse torque is a problem, as you can see, in that kind of situation. It's just not one you hear mentioned a lot, because unless you are creating the most efficient motor ever made, we just apply more power to the motor and power past it. It is frequently an ignored metric, except in situations of extreme efficiency. It's most noticed and an issue when dealing with efficiency. The most efficient motor (like what India just invented), would be one with no losses, one which eliminates this hurdle and apparently, they have. It would literally have to be the smoothest motor on earth really.

I built the same last year with a 350w hoverboard motor, but forget the hoverboard batteries that only has 4400 mAh at most, and low discharge capacity cells (few km and power!), and the friction is much better on a city tire. but the most important thing is the controller 36-48v, how many amps it provides because the formula is 36v X number Amps (let's say 20 amps) = 720w at peak (it can be easily handled by a 350w motor), so choose the right one!

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

Nicely done... Now put a small ICE on it and make it a hybrid that recharges the battery using the same friction wheel as a generator while under gas power effectively giving you an almost infinite range

[@DivineMisterAdVentures]

Cool. That's by far the best of the friction drive systems, excepting for maybe a quick release. It's the only system that provides adequate gearing for a hill and for the motor to run cool. You might run 72 volt for 40mph without issue. Also the simplicity of drive train is excellent and looks durable as hell. Q's? Did your electronics get hot in the bag? What's spec motor / battery would you pick if you could pick anything?

[@marcopelegrini]

Nice job! A few thoughts/questions: 1 - Hoverboards usually have two motors... would that make sense here? The design would get more complex, but I wonder if we'd get more speed or if it would need synchronization as they might not necessarily run at the same speed? Probably not more range as that's more dependent on battery capacity than anything else. 2 - Have you looked at using the hoverboard controller board itself instead of a separate one? I've seen a few hacks to use arduinos... I might go that path... any tips? 3 - Would having a spring applying constant pressure be preferred than a fixed position? Not sure if that would be worse or better for the grip.

[@marcopelegrini]

This is what I was imagining for the spring mechanism: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nabZd6SYad-aeMk These guys used gas spring, which is even nicer.

[@fedeMCTV]

1 - Two motors would double the torque but not the speed. The complexity and the (slightly) reduced range (assuming that 2 motors would be limited to half the wattage of the single one) would not be suitable for street use. Maybe only for very powerful motors or offroad use. 2 - Probably the original controller wouldn't survive 48V battery and so you would get less watt output (maybe too low to be used as ebike motor but i don't know). 3 - Not my competence area, sorry!

[@andro7x]

GREAT! Next, make it liftable from the wheel, so you're not turning the motor when you're pedaling. And make it a generator when you're going down a hill, so it charges your battery :)

The spring loaded setup wouldnt add that much cost to the project, you can probably add a small brake cable to adjust the tension on the wheel. I built something like that way back for my gas scooter with a trimmer motor. Fire it up out of contact, then lower the engine onto the rear wheel while in motion. This wheel-wheel contact will suffer in wet applications where you will slip between the wheels, thats where some pedal assist will come in handy before you are coasting.

[@Thingamajigs]

downsides of this sort of drive is quite significant. 1. the motor will wear the tyre significantly faster - with regular use i'd expect you to have to change tyres several times a year easily. 2. With 1. in mind, you'll also have wear of the motor "tyre" itself, so another tyre to maintain and monitor. 3. rain or a wet tyre will cause the motor to slip. 4. tyre pressure will require consistent monitoring as too low or high will effect the motors performance. 5. It's more dangerous as there's potential for items, clothing etc to be sucked into the two wheels causing injury or worse. In all honesty i dislike this sort of drive mechanism for ebikes for these reasons. Too many major cons over pro's. Still though, interesting nonetheless. thanks for the video.

I just finished copying this project and putting it on my gas motorized bike to make it a hybrid. I made the adapter for my bike using this welder. Overall there isn't a lot of traction between the hoverboard wheel and the bike wheel so there is A LOT of slipping. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to push the motor into the wheel probably using a spring. The welder worked great for my go kart build, workbench and other projects.

Nicely done

Amazing idea, how is the bike doing if you go uphill?

[@hennybutabi]

Not so good😏. You have to use the pedals because the motor isn't very powerful

[@L1ntrail]

Hi! Nice video, when you aren't using the motor, does it make it harder to petal?

[@hennybutabi]

Yeah but not so much

[@L1ntrail]

@@hennybutabi Thank you!

Hello. Each of your videos is better than the previous one. I've been following you for a long time and I can say that you are original. Continue in the same rhythm what you're doing and you're showing us it's great. I want to do something similar, but the links below don't work for you. If you can write or post a new link for a controller and battery that would have a longer range, any of your suggestions for at least 120 kilometers without pedals. Thanks in advance for your reply. With respect.

Just look on aliexpress for BLDC controller, there is plenty of choice. The battery is a regular hoverboard battery. If you want longer range you just need to use a bigger battery of batteries.
