Bro how about bmx bike into e bike looking forward to it easy for u right😎😉

[@TuneintoLearning]

I THINK YOU SHOULD EQUIP FRONT E WHEELS AS WELL! Just think of the torque, and capabilities.

[@luistrevino3505]

I didn't know that there was a plan to build this bike! Awesome! What would be the cost for this bike plan?

[@luistrevino3505]

@@Harry-lmao Thank you, I will.

[@luistrevino3505]

You wouldn't happen to know if they accept any other form of payment besides "PayPal?" Say money order? If they don't! Then thank you anyway for your time. I'll just have to miss out in building that same electric bike, for my self pleasure and be the envy of my neighborhood.

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks for stopping by to watch the video! Time stamps are below, details about the project and a link to the plans are in the video description. Before I get too many questions or criticism about converting a quad into a trike, I should give you some context. The original quad belonged to a good friend of mine, who loved four wheeling and spent most of his free time in the trails. He was selling parts from the old quad before he was diagnosed with and passed away due terminal brain cancer back in '17. I received the old chassis from his family shortly after, in the condition that you see at the beginning of the video. It was intended to go in our scrap bin, but I couldn't toss it. Too many memories. I decided to put some life back into it with a new purpose. Now you know. Time stamps: 0:00 - Work 9:41 - Play

very very awesome))

[@wandersoncardosowandersont3888]

beautiful motorcycle, very cool, record a video with her in the city filming the reaction of people to see her please, I think it will be cool .... you got another subscriber on your channel #Br

[@markschroter2640]

This is pretty awesome. I have questions that many of us have; so here goes. How does it handle? Is the swing arm long enough, do you have enough weight down low to counter act the weight of the rider up high, are the front tires tall enough and do you think the front track could be narrowed at all?

[@JamesBiggar]

@ Mark Thanks! It handles almost exactly like a motorcycle, but with better traction and stability in the front end. There's no risk of dropping or low siding this machine. Con #1 is that the lean is limited to 30°. 45° would be ideal for some riders, but I've never had to lean that much riding my motorcycle in my area, so this setup works fine for me, and I imagine most people as well. Con # 2 is there's more feedback in the handlebars caused by the single suspension configuration compared to independent suspension, but it's not a big deal. Center of gravity is very low - most of the weight is below the seat, whether I'm sitting on it or not. The front track could be narrowed some, but making it narrower than what it is now without increasing the lean limit would decrease stability and cause the trike to lift the outside wheel off the ground when cornering sharp turns - so you'd be riding two wheels around the corner instead of three. If the lean was increased to 45°, then you could make it look like a Niken if you wanted to (though you'd probably have to redesign the suspension from using control arms to using forks instead). The swing arm and Gixxer rear progressive dampening shock absorber and linkage work great. The wheelbase seems to be just right for the geometry. The front tires are con #3, they could be a couple inches taller. Not for stability, but for better ground clearance. Other than those limitations, this machine is great, I love it!

You are the best. ..

[@dmac1465]

Fair fucks man, this has to be one of the most badass DIY projects ever! The result is truly amazing.

[@ananthanarayanann9194]

Being a differently abled guy now stuck on a 4 wheeled scooter, I really miss the leaning experience I had when I used to ride cycles and bikes, the 4 wheeled scooter experience some traction problems in corners and riding it is really hard and can't really push it to it's limits. Would love to see vehicles like these on road one day. Kudos to James. Amazing work man. Much love 💓

[@egodeathwish]

daamn, i've been dreaming of seeing a lightweight electric tadpole like this for a good while. and it's got the looks!

Thank you for commenting on my channel. I put stricter filters to help with the scammers. Now here i am subscribed to your channel and binge watching. Real creative stuff! Nice work brother!

[@JamesBiggar]

Thanks! I've been following your channel for a while. My welding skills in these older videos are kind of cringey lol

[@rowgler1]

You built this like a wolf- pure instinct, but I know it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to do this. Alignments, ackerman geometries, suspension, not to mention the electric details. Lean steer is the future I hope. Make new memories, a good purpose.

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

rowgler1 “Pure instinct” I doubt it. A lot of knowhowification, thinkarising, plannifying went it to this.

[@markschroter2640]

You don't get this with out math and it rarely works straight out of the box.

Yo that's epic you know how much money this guy can save buy building his own vehicles.... you get Respect bro salute.

[@rdmevX]

Something you might be interested in trying. I've been using a thumb throttle on my left hand for variable regen braking. It works great on the Kelly controller.

[@NobodyReport]

Could you say more on how that works?

[@diyelectrified1289]

@@NobodyReport firstly, you have to have a controller that has a variable regen functionality. The Kelly KLS series has it. Essentially they have a second throttle input that works as variable regen.

Easiest sub ever! This the best Canuckistan fabrication I have seen in the EV space. Keep up the great work. Sincerely - an Alberta boy.

[@JamesBiggar]

LOL, thanks

[@maelus9388]

This is so underrated ! It’s so a great build!

[@smartcarfor2]

Would love to see something like this in my carport. Diagnosed about 5 yrs ago with Parkinsons and that ended my chances of getting on 2 wheels again. Three wheels might play well... You did the memory of your friend a great honor in this build.

[@mikebermea9366]

You have true fabricating talent. So rare. Great job!

[@theantichrist6524]

I have watched this video several times .and im more impressed with your build quality .every time I watch the video again .

[@hippie-io7225]

I absolutely love your work! Mech and electrical engineering professors should show your vid's to beginning students.... to inspire them! I've avoided quad's because of stability issues and high center of gravity. Looks like a leaning trike is a good way to go.

[@markschroter2640]

I have rolled them all 2, 3 and 4 wheels. Still partial to 2 myself. I try to keep the rubber side down though.

[@shawnquinn1596]

vehicles like this should be the future of personal transportation

[@darwinziganay4638]

This is amazing. Everything I wanted for an electric trike. Great project.

[@DanteYewToob]

Damn. The boys over at Grind Hard Plumbing would drool all over this beast! Repurposing old rusty junk, custom suspension, and a beautiful end product.... right up their alley. You did an incredible job and I'm very inspired!

[@dosetaimagnus7427]

Listen to your comments, so many people want you to go into production to make amazing bikes affordable to them, alot of people just don't have the skill set or understanding you have to build one as good as you have...Your designs are amazing, been following you from the start and watched your channel grow. Great to see you keeping it going and enjoying it.. Take care and all the best in the futture whatever you do 💯🔥👍

Heck yeah! How much $$$ would you charge to build another one?

[@FarmerFpv]

You say that but would you really fork out the money? I don't believe you will, you seem the type to have buyers remorse, no offense...

[@JPtheHammer]

@@FarmerFpv How do you get that conclusion, from someone simply saying "I wish I could buy this"?

[@adhamsabry2084]

... Oh man, this is the most wonderful and best building project I have ever seen ... I have seen the video more than once and I was very much amused. I will definitely build something like it, but forgive me. I will make some adjustments .. and wait for your next projects. You got a great follower from Egypt, thank you

[@jamesbryancamacho227]

Thank you for sharing this Bro, i've always loved motorcycles but i've had polio ever since i was a kid, this gives me hope that i would be able to ride a motorcycle. love and new fan here in the Philippines!

[@metalman69201]

Dear friend, just Google "Age Regression Med Beds" and then the first two items that pop up should be Facebook post that explain all about them in case you haven't heard of them yet. There are several different types and one of them cures all diseases and your polio can be cured and you can do anything you want. I have gotten into building electric vehicles and you might check the one video I put on KZbin here and then I also built a solar electric recumbent trike that holds three people and my two teenagers and I made a trip that was over 100 mi on it with Sunshine alone for fuel. It is very cool!! President Trump has been talking about manufacturing thousands of ventilators but they are actually Med beds and they're using them on children and the military veterans first and then they might soon be available for you and I. Keep your fingers crossed buddy!! :-)

[@stankrieger3137]

love your build and thank you for the NO ads, it makes viewing so pleasant. I do not know if I could ever build this, but I am thinking about going for it. Thank You again

[@JamesBiggar]

No ads? Strange, the video is monetized, should be ads showing. There would be no viewing experience here without them (these projects need to pay for themselves somehow - can't afford them otherwise). But thanks for checking it out, hope you stick around!

[@athr6567]

i love it, always been into trikes, definietly would construct one for myself but probably i'll use some composite materials instead of steel

[@intelgen7860]

So you actually made me think a trike can be cool looking. Wow - thank you. You are a demi god!

[@intelgen7860]

Next time go crazy and put a f*n 20kw motor in each wheel!!!

[@DktheWelder]

You did a really good job ! That hub motor looks powerful! I’m building one as well but petrol 1000cc 125hp so it will be wild

[@intenseconditioning243]

I'm blown away. What a great build!!!

[@BillDemos]

Man as always your video is very intriguing. I like this bike a lot, mainly for two reasons: its motor is powering the back wheel, and also it is a direct drive design. This way you have no friction that any drive trains would introduce, so you get the most out of your battery's life. Very wise engineering decisions. This is how I always make my electric bikes... Keep it up!

[@hog660]

The only thing I'd have done differently on this is a more sportsbike type riding position, but hats off, this is an amazing build. Been toying with the idea of a leaning on road snowmobile for years, but never had the money and space to do it.

[@soyhugo390]

Buddy, that´s a truly REMARKABLE rig. Congrats. I´m an engineer and I´m impressed: your design is simple, but sturdy and robust enough for some light off-roading. It rains a LOT, where I come from, and I´m sometimes afraid of EV-rigging a two wheeler because of my kiddo. Something like this would save me a ton of money in gas, too. I would modify the seating, though. I´m not that young. Thanks for creating this. I like it.
