how to make ebike from hoverboard

$20 defective hoverboard and turn it into midrive motor ebike.
finishing video: • my low budget electric...

[@Triplex5014]

Very smart design with freewheels. The motor can power the rear wheel without rotating the pedals and you can pedal without the motor spinning. Brilliant!

[@user-wq7ei8yl4x]

Это не так. Он в итоге приварил звезду, которая на двигателе жёстко и свободного хода там нет. Но в видео этого не показал. Теперь если вращать педали, то двигатель будет оказывать сопротивление.

[@socialfreak6900]

making a freewheel crank so you arent forced to pedal is actually so damn genius

[@joshgodshall1945]

This video is everything I love about Engineering, teaching, and time outdoors all wrapped into one. Seriously good shit! Way to work with what you have on hand. I think you've inspired me to pop my rarely used hoverboard open. Cheers, mate!

[@1zanglang]

From this to engineering is a long way. However the idea is sound. The execution of the project must be revised. Too many parts are assembled by the eye. The use of a tandem bicycle crank and a well centered sprocket on the motor casing would solve the issues. Also a battery upgrade would help.

[@ziopoe]

An example of real creativity, good job!

[@Ultimaniacx4]

The freewheel crank is just what I needed! That's so clever!

[@Darin-USMCB--]

You did one heck of a good job 👏 Excellent engineering skills & mechanical application.

[@darrenirwin]

Amazing ingenuity with so little equipment you have made something amazing. A great testament to your skills and inventiveness

[@plum_pie6402]

perfect, exactly what i was looking for! i was wondering how to best make the pedals stop spinning and your solution is both cheap and elegant!

[@databanks]

very nice way of keeping the drive line simple and still allowing the pedals to idle when just using the motor. Nice work

[@user-jk5bn3rf1u]

И одни восхищения. А ни кто не усмотрел, что фривил на двигателе не может так работать. Там возможно установить только намертво звезду. И если разрядится батарея, то придется маслать педали и вращать мотор .

[@bigzen69]

You made it look easy and you never made a comment about lining up the two chain sprockets which is a must and yours just happened to be perfectly aligned amazing and I love the fact that you did not use four 12 volt batteries

[@Badass-cycles]

Great job with a minimum on tools and it works. Super that you use old parts to make something new. I hope that we can see more selfmade jobs from your hands.

[@TumpaTalapatra]

You are recycling which is good and you are saving the environment. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@albertnario4877]

just can't afford midrive system. but thanks bro.

Yes very good

[@rohankumarchauhan9653]

@@albertnario4877 sir if i use 250 watt moter , how much speed i get ?? Please reply sir

[@albertnario4877]

depends on road, and gearing. my experience can you reach 35kph up on flat road

[@AlternativeDIYEnergy]

You are an amazing engineer my good friend. Have a great day.

[@omshivtiwari]

Good work buddy , really appreciable job. That freewheel crank idea ws fantastic!!, Keep making 😉

[@carloscenez3161]

One of the Best projects presented,Congratulations.

[@johndias6614]

A grinder and paint make you the welder you ain't! All joking aside, nicely done. Your video showed all the essentials and didn't waste time.

[@alibro7512]

I built an ebike too but this is sooooooo much better. Well done my friend. I was confused at first by what you were doing by the end it all made sense.

[@Mightypepino76]

Wow, you made that look easy, impressive work

[@hjy1709]

I'm very impressed at the part you made freewheel crank. Kinda what I was looking for.

[@grayfox4551]

Spot welder all ya need...

[@tomatoe308]

this guy is the only legit diy guy, keep up the good work!

[@marsbase3729]

dude, that was awesome! very creative and resourceful

[@juhopeltola2561]

Nice welding. I just started welding whit stick in my garage to get my bike ready. Took 1 pack of sticks and then I got it. Now bike is ready for winter :)

[@PaulSpades]

Cool build, I've never seen somebody make a freewheel crank before. I think it's easier connecting the motor with chain to a new chain sprocket on the back wheel hub(which already has a freewheel). Cheers!

[@databanks]

yes but some of those wheel-mounted sprockets mount via rubber clamps on the spokes - also keeping the motor in the driveline constantly. From what I can see, looks like his means you're not fighting the motor when pedaling and removes unbalanced stress from the spokes. It's actually a pretty smart method. Setups like that for those 2 stroke petrol (gas) motors are pretty expensive and this is the first time I've seen someone create one for an electric motor. If my bike crank was a 3-piece instead of 1 piece, I'd be trying my hand at this - for now I'll save it in case I get a chance to in the future. Hell, if I hadn't just given my unfinished tadpole recumbent trike away I could have built one for that

[@omshivtiwari]

But in that case you cannot use the back gears 😅

[@grayfox4551]

More strength and torque available in the front...crank area..

[@christophergonzalez5653]

This might just be my next project with my everlast welder. Great idea!

Good job matey. I like that tune aswel 👍🏽 catchy

[@dophin1999ab]

Amazing ...I like the simple parts your creating. like not just buying new parts.

You have a great understanding of things. Keep it up! 👍

The construction with the chains is very well thought out ;)

[@thijsiphone]

Love this kinds of videos.. make something out of almost nothing some old metals some clamps an old hoover board.. cheers from the netherlands.

[@carloscenez3161]

Parabéns! este é um dos melhores projetos deste porte que já vi por aqui.

[@jazgara]

Hope your president supports local talents such as you. Sana suportahan ng gobyerno mga young inventors/innovators na katulad mo. More projects please.

[@albertnario4877]

nanjan nmn si KZbin na kayang supportahan ako.

[@paolotejada5664]

I love it when you do those modifications on a low budget. Congratulations

[@bhatooeshan5315]

Very wise , infact i was trying to make a free wheel sprocket but in vain. After watching this video it's look so simple and will just do the same thing. Thank this video is of great importance and very helpful.

[@grayfox4551]

He did well... Only concern if too much torque is applied to such a crank and it internally snaps or falters at speed or under heavy torsion... A locknut mechanism could be attached somehow?

[@tomaswolsink7620]

Very Nice project those little hubmotors are looking powerfull, Nice video , sorry doe my bad english

[@jgcjunior1]

Nice job... congratulations. From engineer to engineer.

[@podrumrecords]

This is amazing,and exelent,I would like to have bike like yours 😀 great work bro,you are smart.

[@JohanDegraeveAanscharius]

You are a genious mecanic! No centering tools, just your two hands and your brain, and slippers :-) impressive! @ All: did you see how the batterie was made: a bunch of Li-eon rechargables, put serial and parallel. Just like in a Tesla... no joke.

I like what you do perfect job My question if you use it manual can you charge the battery or is possible to do this

[@Rob337_aka_CancelProof]

Nicely done I especially like the free-wheel on the crank (nice touch). But how fast does it go and how does it do going through the gears?
