DIY: Electric Scooter Conversion With Hoverboard Parts

[@HODYODesign]

I'm not going to build such a scooter anytime soon, but I must confess, I'm really impressed by your skills! Impressive DIY project imo!

[@fr33ourminds]

HODYO Design I 2nd this. Well done

you can try this one...kzbin.info/www/bejne/foqagKCpq8qEa5I

[@arbusa_productions]

@@sagarevstore4524 We took the same parts for our mini Wheelie bike video :D

[@greg23842384]

I did exactly the same project few months ago and scooter still going strong. I have overvolted this motor to 75 volts as i have found it was slow on hoverboard battery that is only 36volt nominal. Now it pulls like a horse and peak at 2000wats!!! You should make polyurethane tyre for back wheel as this solid rubber cause lots of rolling resistance and your motor will be hot after few miles. Mine after polyurethane mod runs cool and consume 50%less energy so its a mod worth doing

[@pxl666]

greg can u elaborate? Isn't easier to replace tire for pneumatic one ??

[@greg23842384]

Olga Piskorska you can't replace with pneumatic tyre as there is no space for tube valve you would have to drill thru hub motor and magnets and then motor stator would prevent wheel from spinning unless you would somehow mods this and route valve to come out on the side of motor. I basicly used polyurethane same material that skate wheels are made off. You can buy kit mix two part like resin and pour into mold and you get perfect low rolling resistance wheel. Please check my channel I have short video showing my scooter partially finished

[@robroberts2064]

You have quite a few videos. This one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5WrpqmBq8yIe6c

[@greg23842384]

Rob Roberts yes my friend

[@batlin]

Does the PU wheel wear down quickly though?

[@christopherroberts22]

I did a 350w conversion recently, I made the battery 250wh 7ah 2p10s Mj1 ... I split the pack and placed 4 batteries within each side hole of the chassis rail, as well as 12 batteries in the centre channel, there was also room in the centre channel for the controller ! I still have rear suspension too ! ;) I may copy your battery cover technique !

[@shaneellasdaicastrestorati3675]

That is the best DIY electric scooter build I've seen on KZbin great work.

[@johnbeer4963]

Usually when i watch youtube videos, people's battery work scares me. I like yours. Nice work.

[@itsmewoodG]

Great job, I love you attention to detail. I am currently doing a similar project, I am using a 10 inch hoverboard and using the motors, battery and charger to build an adult size trike.

[@kaelking4470]

I love how easily everything was for you mine will take me for ever to build and look nothing as good as this one great job

[@19janiboy96]

You did a tremendously good job!

[@nazrilhood582]

Yup thx

[@Akon12399]

Very impressed, I have a broken hoverboard just sitting around so I was gonna try and make something out of it, the only problem is that I lack some electronics knowledge. I would love to see you explain like what and why the electronics parts do, for instance that yellow connector, the different wires that stick out of that speed controller box.

[@stonedsavage7814]

that was so neat a build that if i never watched this video and saw a photo of the scooter i would 100% believe it was bought from a shop! thats a testiment to your build skills right there!

[@ferjanyen]

Nice work, With the hover board I will make a push unit to latch on the back of the scooter plus a steel cable to tilt the hover board to go forward or to stop. Cut and narrow the fibre glass stand on the hover board as it will not be needed. Presto!!

[@dcsensui]

Thanks for sharing this. I’m thinking of doing something with my granddaughter’s hoverboard.

[@Victor0000Pierosan]

Where is the brake?

[@digable007]

You nailed it.... If you can point me in a direction of a Razor 300 type motor connected to a Yeddoo type scooter with a Shimano Alfine internal 11-speed hub with the electronic gearing. That should be your next project...that was freaking awesome...

[@777sgiles]

Please do a diy video on converting a knee scooter into a seated electric scooter. Please pretty please! I’ll bet you’ll go viral!

[@speedsterh]

Excellent job, through and through. I can do all the steps you did, but not as cleanly as you ! Congratulations. In hindsighting, designing a covered place for the controller inside the brackt would have been the better option. Still, a great build

[@odduser1634]

Its a CLEAN DIY build, I have seen around.

[@sunnyhillestate1]

Great video! Very complete/detailed but not excessively long!

[@NicksStuff]

You clearly didn't hack that in two days, that's a well done project with a very impressive attention to detail. Not a fan of the position and (lack of) protection of the cells, though :-( Idea for a V2: use the second wheel as well and make it dual motor like a Tesla :-D

[@andrewmarasek620]

awesome build. i mean, you could buy a xiami scooter for basically the same price and have an app and mod the controller, but i like the idea of learning. things like this i want to do with my kids as they get older so they can learn to figure things out on their own as adults. fun video to watch regardless.

[@srrtbb]

That's awesome man. But I was thinking why not mod the stock rear suspension to accept the hover board wheel?! Either way amazing job on the built.

[@christopherroberts22]

Because he would have not enough space for the battery & controller ! (unless he copied my technique ;) --- "" did a 350w conversion recently, I made the battery 250wh 7ah 2p10s Mj1 ...

[@indiandance5564]

I have the same controller and I am building a scooter with inspiration from your video. What should I connect to the throttle? The wires don't seem to match.

[@gonsalomon]

You could get yourself a regenerative braking able controller. It would solve the braking issue while being able to charge your battery as well

[@oneeyedrone4293]

Hover board scooters serve as great parts, im sure you could have made it a little faster and also since its so stealthy in shape, most people wont even know its electric. I have a kids razor like that, looks like a push scooter, I just loaded it with more batteries inside the frame, heavier but went from 10km range to 15km and less slowing down as it has more power within my 5-6km one way commute.

[@daniellode3738]

What about the brakes?

[@gameboyprototype5046]

Very clean nice work. Great that you chould use a broken hooverboard to make this C😎😎L project.

[@ojonfpv]

You look amazing, buddy. What a top design! Congratulations

[@daisukevideo]

The video was great! In Japan, you can't easily ride an Electric scooters yet. The law is troublesome. I'm looking forward to the video! With love from Japan :)

[@Eff-U-Kay]

Fantastic build and tutorial. Thanks for sharing without unnecessary self-adulation and personal choice of wank music 😊

[@medvedev2008]

Красавчик, прямые руки, все очень аккуратно!

[@dvvvideo]

Ну мы тоже не плохо делаем kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5C8oGifadOFqqM

[@Adam_Tilbrook]

That's sick! Wish I could do that to my kick scooter but I don't have the skills necessary.

[@MCsCreations]

Really awesome work, dude. Really well done! 😀 BTW, I made a 10w LED flashlight inspired in your 100w one. I think it's going to be published in two weeks. 😊

[@acer1633]

I have never seen such an excellent job, I am impressed. truly. Genious!!

[@madyicstik]

can you post plans of the hub motor mounting bracket please?

[@Nenea2a]

Very nice work !!! I like your scouter!!! It would be great to have brakes. Brakes is important in crowded places. Maybe add breakes in another movie ;)

[@J쌤-n4y]

How do you charge the battery? Do you just connect thw battery power outlet to the original hoverboard adaptor(charger)? Is that safe?

[@nazrilhood582]

Just plug into wall

[@olorb2618]

Nice job! I like that its RWD

[@skeelo69]

I am impressed , however why have you not included lights for the front and rear ?.

[@arnvidhr768]

Impressive! Just bottom of the e-scooter requires very descent protection as it will be damaged all the time... Especially bottom is low...

[@hp11208]

They sell a kit now for regular scooter right?

[@arbusa_productions]

Privet Bratan, have you tried to run it with 48v?

[@thecreaturefpv9295]

Amazing video! Thank you for the detailed instructions. I am building one now and all I need to do is install the electronics and I will be on the road!

[@fintelpen4225]

Impressive clean wirings.

[@ivorygilyard2243]

This was a very nice video, you did a great job and you explained everything really nicely. Thank you :)

[@hrishikeshb]

This was an awesome build! Hope you enjoy the scooter :)

[@Xengixx]

Man i did it all but how can i charge it now?

[@jirkaa8621]

You must have charging port connected to the speed controller. Cable Is named "Charging port" and you must it charge same voltage as your battery. Sorry, for my bad english

[@ProjektHeld]

Wow not bad. I like your work! I build an electric longboard with hoverboard parts.

[@tomasma4718]

hi, nice video. i have a question, can you share the electric layout? because i see that you put a paralel cable to connect the cable to charge the battery, and other question is when you charge the battery the speed controller has always power. is not better to connect the power switch just before the speed controller and the you will just charge the battery, without any peak cuurent problem during charging? thank you

[@wei48221]

Awesome!! Care to share the issues that you've found out about this scooter?

[@RaviRavi-yn9sl]

Good explain brother what's the size of the motor wheel is this 6"wheel

[@KennethTanFotografie]

Fantastic build and excellently filmed.

[@123sdcp]

Do you think that a 3-wheel scooter (Globber Ultimum or Micro Kickboard Monster) could be converted into an electric one for those with a mild disability and balance issues?

[@TotallyNotAPancake]

i saw in my dream there was one😂

[@JuanSanchez-rb4qu]

Really nice! why didnt you keep the rear suspension tho?

This is awesome! Such a neat finish, looks factory made! Could the motor be used for seven braking? You wouldn't put much power back in the battery but might get significant resistance to slow the scooter more effectively than the original brake design!

[@eungje7123]

I like your ideas but Have you ever think about shaking the front wheel? because of the valances, front wheel and back wheel when 60kg to 100kg ride on board to speed up it should be shaking front wheel. too heavy the backside. What are people evaluated?

[@genadimarkov7543]

Good assembly i waiting my parts for this project. But I can not decide how to brake, any suggestions?

[@christopherroberts22]

EBS !!!! Very effective ! electronic braking system .. its like a thumb throttle , you apply an amount and the magnetic field in the motor holds the motor, resisting the rotation thus braking is applied.

[@samayaraj7542]

Nice work. Excellent explanation

[@JuanSanchez-rb4qu]

Cool tho wouldnt be easier to adapt the existing wheel bracket? also did you consider changing the front wheel too for 2WD?

[@cruselove]

nice 😁 next time buy a Dualtron escort that runs about 80 kmp 😎 i use that thing all over singapore. n love it.

[@sarge27271]

My friend, kudos on 1) The build. And 2) The Editing!! Superb. Succinct. Awesome!!!! You should make a video on "video editing".....Lol

[@no1slisteninganyway]

Outstanding! A very nice piece of work.

[@myehorov3320]

Not sure about life time of this build without dust and water protection. Big question is the price, it's not under 200 eur. Just hover board cost more than that, + throttle button, lcd, etc. There are some good options for about 350-400 eur, basically about same price. But if you have that all as a garbage and don't have to buy any of that parts, it's good and fun DIY project.

[@augustasbudnikas1267]

Just buy used, i found the same scooter for 60€, hoverboard for 70€, both fully functional, the controller is around 40€

[@ibuiltmineo1oo]

Hey man! Nice clean job! Is your fuse on the negative side of the battery? I usually put it on the positive side. Any particular reason why you went to the negative side?

[@PierreFZ1]

Hi! Awesome build! How did you find the wattage of the motor? I have an old monowheel motor (14'') that I want to use for a big scooter (offroad) project but I'm not sure of which speed controller I must buy... Also I'm worried with the hall sensors because it might not be color coded as the motor is. Did you have this issue? Thanks

[@ibzanypava9863]

Greetings, thank you for sharing excellent work, you would be so kind to tell me that you soldered or soldered in the back of the controller, thanks from Colombia

[@davidpotter3777]

Mad skills! Build a simple car next. God bless , aloha

[@cholito1949]

Congratulations !!! Very good work.

[@ciarydelacalzada3575]

Hi Im from Philipines. Does it take two hours to use? Because im planning to make one

[@johnnymotors2023]

Make some effort add some bearings with a spring and put both motor wheels which would reduce the stress on each of the motors and you should get at least 40km/h. I am just saying. Nice video btw

[@benji376]

Johnny Motors that’s not how it works, just saying...

[@johnnymotors2023]

Bernard Ellefsen then he should put a 300cc engine on the back and that's it :)) 100mph guaranteed (then will have to look for a "resting" place)

[@benji376]

Johnny Motors just slap on a 115 300Lbs jet engine, and then you don’t have to worry about anything.

[@EngrRobPangilinan]

@Johny Motors bro someone here in youtube had the same idea like yours.. 😊👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKjGd6mJbbejd68

[@EngrRobPangilinan]

@Johny Motors this man Mr. Cop, i think is the 1st one that used the smart balance hub motor wheel as a way to convert a manual kick scoot to electric kick scoot, he has a video posted way back in 2015, just search d vid frm his channel.. 👍😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3Pac5Wldr2eY7M

[@josephjohnson7867]

Awesome video my friend 👌 I would really love to also do this Diy project. But I would be a bit scared to go down hills & not able to stop but would there be a way to add some type of brakes etc.?? Thanks: Joseph

[@pxl666]

Amazingly neat work BUT why did you remove suspension ??? Also i want to see your lion welding tool !!

[@S30Uploads]

I'm so glad I save like three of these things but only the motors

[@AlexNijv]

Impressive and clean build!

[@yohvh]

These videos are always exiting and fine until they casually take apart and put back together batteries or use things like welding.

[@PoweredByRedstonecom]

I was a bit worried about that at first, but he did it properly and safely.

[@peternicks4011]

You can add the second motor from the hoverboard on the back so you have more power

[@charlievlachos5144]

Awesome project!!! Good job! Anyone know how to make the hoverboard motor brake?

[@88ElevenShop]

Great, excellent, wonderfull ! Thanks for your dedication!

[@joseluisriquelme9269]

How you changed the rotation direction of the wheel? Can somebody explain me that please :) , nice video! The best about this topic buddy !

[@christopherroberts22]

lolz !! it was just a setting within that particular controller lcd set up ;) p5 reverse motor rotation 'Save"

[@protodudimanche5971]

*Cool la trotinette électrique moi j'ai fabriquer un chariot électrique avec 2 roues de hoverboard c'est puissant.*

[@ozzyschannelosman3255]

I have done something similar........would it be possible we use an inflatable tyre on hoverboard wheel ??

[@floriank1152]

Hi I am again can you please a video or a plan show how everything is wired please because I would like to copy it

[@paulkeiling465]

could you please explain the way you connect electronics. i would like to built an e-scooter on my own and i dont understand exactly how you did this. Thanks a lot.

[@fletcher3913]

Very nice conversion. Good work.

[@chitanya4u]

Hi, great video, really done well. I'm also planning for a similar build, is it possible to share the drawing of the bracket you made? (so that i can customize it as per my requirement).

[@jamest.5001]

How many volts have you fed these motors? I have a 48-72v 1500 watt controller, I'm thinking 60v nominal, it was for a alternator conversion. I was thinking about getting a 48v nominal controller for these motors, around 750-1000 watts, being 350w at 36v motors, I heard they can handle 72v with some cooling holes, with a 75% duty cycle, I wanted to put these on a bike, use both to spin the wheel, using two controllers, with a 12s 16-24 ah battery , i need atleast 60kmh, and 120km range, I don't know much about these motors, what I really want is a pair of 3kw motor, on about 72v!

[@mashedpotatoes5323]

They can definitely handle 72volts nominal, I'm contemplating wether I should go to 108volts nominal.

[@sriramayeshwanth9789]

A video I've looking since many months 🙏

[@us3r_d0e5nt_3x1st]

You're really smart, you made the best scooter on youtube!

[@penos5442]

Do you think i can use the hoverboard's tilt sensors and wheels to make a one wheel?

[@jamieogg3608]

Very professional work

[@danpaslea4605]

Can you explain why in this setup the scooter is no last so long range as a hoverboard even if is only one wheel and hoverboard is driving 2 wheels?the hoverboard range is over 2 hours and with ebike controller is last maximum half hour.?

[@zaromaco]

Fantastic work my frend!! Best Regards from Spain!!!

[@UPLunko]

Very clean build!

[@CaptainCandycorn]

Question about the VESC, does it need cooling? Running 50A continuous through it must get things pretty hot. I plan to use this with a 10S lipo to power a 350w hub motor scooter. My current cheap chinese controller uses trapezoid waveform so things are very noisy and there is lots of power loss. This controller seems to output a clean sine wave, however there are no hall sensor wires?

[@hellschatt]

Looks impressive and also absolutely dangerous, especially for someone who doesn't understand anything. I'll throw out the defective hoverboard lol

[@brucechin6788]

can you do a DIY : electric skateboard conversion with scooter parts?

[@michalsosovec1722]

Impressive build and also video production. Keep up, Jehu. Thanx

[@MrCopcreator]

Nice job, looks same as i did, but ur video is very detailed and looks more upgraded than mine version 🤗

[@ulastugut2513]

Doesn't it work if it doesn't have multiple wired boxes

[@N12Gautam]

I wish company’s could make as good as of a product as you did. I wish I could make my own

[@correaponce4251]

Hell of a job. Wow impressive.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
