How to add a keyd ignition to any ebike(easiest method)

[@user-vi2kx8ec3t]

Your work is always interesting, man

[@c_wonder]

aw man that’s so stupidly simple! Thanks for you help

[@mysterialink926]

This only stops power to the buttons not the screen splice the Cable that goes from the controller to the lcd and it will do it or on the battery negative just extend wires or hide the lock

[@MrGiodude17]

I will do this

[@MrGiodude17]

So I'll.splove and red goes to lcd wire next black goes om?

[@Birdofthewave]

Out of the 3 extra wires left, one of them need to join the black connection on the ignition connect to solve the lcd problem.... so when the switch is off, the lcd should be off too as the start button did.

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

I kinda messed up with this. There is another power wire that goes directly to the screen. I would just cut that one instead. That way the screen should shut off when you turn the key and not the buttons that hook up to the screen.

[@Bl.Harry14]

@@ENDOPRYSMythi there what power wire is it?

[@aaron19866]

Yeah what wire is it

[@georgecypher4568]

That would be due to the FACT you chose the "WRONG WIRE" to "HACK" your way into it !!! If you would have chose the wire that gets B+ to it when the switch is pressed then it would have worked the way you wanted it to ..... But you just HACKED the wire up and then you did not even cut off the pushpin connectors that were on the end of the wires at the key switch ...... If you chose to do a YT video instructing people how to install a keyed ignition switch then you might wanna do it the PROPER WAY .

[@J-unit84]

Yea this is all wrong. You wanna cut power, not ground. And you would probably wanna get a handlebar mounted ignition and wire it to the controller through the frame to hide everything and make it look stock.

[@craig6826]

You don't fully explain everything like it should be done you leave things out therefore how can somebody replace it does it make sense to me

[@mysterialink926]

Going to do this on the battery leads or maybe motor leads confuse a criminal hahahah

[@chasedemery4930]

Can i get the link to buy that ignition?

[@Bl.Harry14]

Hi, how would I make my Key ignition turn on my screen, I hate it as i have to manually turn on the screen after I turn on the key

[@SirQuacksalotthe1st]

You'd need to trace the wires to the on button solder to one of the buttons connections so when the key is twisted it would act also as a go single

[@joshualapurga3431]

I thought you're gonna drill your frame in order to put it in. You can buy one of those with handlebar clamp.

[@uneasye4317]

Hey where did you buy this ignition

[@xephens]

[@MrGiodude17]

I noticed one flaw if you have a key alarm how can you do this

[@Tactical_Assault_Pelican]

How well would this work if it was integrated into the roo part of the headtube, might be a bit fiddly to remove and spice the cables but if the bike has internally routed cables, it would make it look much more neat and permanent, prevent tampering and overall make it look like it was part of the bike from the start

[@sebbyonyt]

Funny story, the key ignition he is using is made to go into the head tube, but it is really hard to wire it in there so most people mount them elsewhere like he did.

[@Tactical_Assault_Pelican]

@sebbyonyt ahh I see, I'll definitely mount it in the head tube, I dont mind a bit of work

[@swaggod226]

So will this lock up the ignition stopping it from being stolen.

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

Ye

[@kilog9142]

Definitely gonna try will give follow up once try it

[@xxstepsxx4227]

Lets mount a security door, and lets just hide the key under door mat 😁

[@ajioutdoorsy]

What is the ignition called for the ebike?

[@justinrodriguez1064]

U can use any ignition just with 2 wires

[@stevenbenavente1229]

Good job

[@slugzkea]

do you know if that black wire is controller to battery negative?

[@fumanchutripitaka6639]

How to connect a key ignition to ANY ebike! That's quite a broad statement! Ok, so how do I connect my key ignition to the controller!? Not every ebike has a digital screen! And to be honest if you can't work out that a simple inline splice connection is how you install the key switch, you probably shouldn't be attempting to alter any of the electrics!?

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

It’s very simple. You are connecting a on off switch (aka keyed ignition) to a wire that is necessary to the operation of turning on the bike. So every bike may not have a lcd screen but most every bike has a on/off button with a wire that leads from it to the controller. You are simply splicing that wire. I can make an updated video with an explanation to my thinking.

[@fumanchutripitaka6639]

@@ENDOPRYSMyt Thank you for your reply, and apologies for being a bit harsh in my initial post it wasn't very fair so please don't take offence! My situation is a little more complicated so I will explain. I bought a conversion kit which I have fitted to my normal bike. The kit came with a twist throttle which has a on/off button built in. This all worked fine for a while but after about 3-4 months use it had a major tantrum and went on strike permanently! Hence, I needed to replace this and decided to get a thumb throttle which was cheaper and more basic which meant less to go wrong. However, the thumb throttle does not have an on/off switch it just has 3 wires the Red - Positive, Black - Negative and the Green Signal wire. Therefore, I can connect the throttle control but there won't be any power going to it. So, I need to make a connection via the controller to the throttle to send power to the motor! The initial problem is there are 6 wires coming from the original twist throttle and it is far from obvious which function each wire controls. But to make things worse I had to get a new controller which arrived with approximately NO English on it anywhere. Hence, I have absolutely no idea what any of the 4 million wires coming out of the controller are for! And whilst searching online for any information that may help, I have discovered that there isn't even a consistency in the wiring for different controllers! Consequently, I would really like to smash my ebike kit into to little pieces! But I have been reliably informed that doing that would not make it work any better! In conclusion, do not take any notice of the crazy man! But please do keep making the videos because they are good and obviously helping others to fix any problems they may be experiencing! All the Best

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

Very frustrating problem. I couldn’t tell you how to go about your controller issue as I have never had such a problem. If I had any suggestions it would be to contact the supplier directly and ask for some guidance. I sort of have a picture of your thumb throttle setup in my mind. I think you could splice into the red or black wire with the ignition and it should work. As long as the key is impairing the function of the bike in some certain way. It will make for a solid (temporary security system). By this I mean it will stop people that don’t have the key such as friends or maybe small kids from getting into the bike. Any keyed ignition including ones for cars can be broken into by any criminal if they had enough time.

[@xxstepsxx4227]

U basicly need to Connect the wire that send power signal from on button,

[@xxstepsxx4227]

Just do it better than this melon, no point with the wires like this, u can just remove tape hold it together, follow wire, and where it cant be reached u Connect , u can use a meter to mesure where u have power running when u click power button, bit its pretty much straight forward

[@stealthbomber9841]

One question where can I get the rear fender for that electric bike?

[@rod8652]

can this work for razor dirt bikes like a 350?

[@yokanshree4621]

Can u remove the key from the key start after u turn it on

[@gamesiblings4225]

@endoprysm where u get that ignition

[@LiLMAMA1.]

and where would I buy ignition would they not think that the bike is stolen

[@elias8981]

Could you try putting the key switch inside the stem for a nicer integration ?

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

I was thinking about it because it would be a really nice intergration. But the little screw there on the top of the stem actually holds the whole thing together.

[@elias8981]

@@ENDOPRYSMyt yes thats what i tought too. Maybe a 3d printed designed modification of the switch could do the job

[@kimhyunwoo8983]

@@elias8981 personally I’m about to make one of these and I think I’ll just make a whole in the frame top near the front that way it’s flush with the body and all wires stay inside, helps keep everything nice and orderly, I’m definitely putting my charging port there too that way I can charge from both sides without weird cable length issues

My key currently turns on and off my lights, horn and blinkers. Any idea how to integrate this into what you just did here? I freaking love this idea and love this mod. Been wanting to do this since I bought my Enduro.

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

find the wire that powers your display coming directly from your battery it should be wrapped up in the black tube material along with the other wires. it should be red or black. splice the wire and try to solder it on as i did

[@alexchavosaurus9041]

@@ENDOPRYSMyt Good place to start! Thanks for the idea!

[@minde28383]

how you can justify heating of 205. Why you bother running smaller motor but not 273 instead. Do you feel those additional 5kg on the road?

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

Yes you can feel it on the road. less weight swinging at the rear of your bike makes it easier to control. Also a heavier motor can cause damage to your swing arm when you ride on any bumpy terrain. for my bike the motor stays very cool for the most part. Unless I take it up the mountain on a hot day then it tends to overheat. I’m gonna do some cooling upgrades to it so that doesn’t happen so easy, until then I’m just riding casually. For my friends bike I turned the power down until he gets some heat syncs and ferrofluid. Still probably won’t Even run it at full power when upgraded. But overall I just enjoy the lighter package.

[@minde28383]

@@ENDOPRYSMytyes it makes sense. It's good setup and motor without a doubt. FF makes most of the difference, fins good second addon.

[@kiiingrook8592]

better to hook that up to the battery instead so when you turn it off it cuts off the battery power

[@ENDOPRYSMyt]

Your right I was thinking of doing that but I already cut the other wire. It works either way.

[@nastashavalentinodefranco2990]

I didn't see the key start the bike? I seen u push a button, then turn a key I didn't hear a start-up

[@kaisersoza2801]

It's an ebike. NO startup sound. Basically, he cut the black cable (ground) and wired a switch (keyed) in between. When the key is in "OFF" position, the circuit is open and bike remains OFF. When the key is in "ON" position the circuit is closed but the bike is not ON, still remains OFF. The button still needs to be pressed to turn it ON. He added an extra step that is not really necessary but could be useful for keeping honest people honest. At the handlebar, its extremely easy to bypass this keyed switch. For simplicity, it works, but I would've done the connection in an area not easily accessible.

Wait but if the key is outside the bike frame it seems really easy to hotwire. Can’t someone just cut the red and white wires and twist them together?

Yeah, don't do it like this! Soldering wire to those connectors is stupid. Just cut the connectors off and twist the wires together.
