How to mount Hailong 48V E-bike battery on bike || E-bike Conversion #2

[@ianakagongz4573]

"Step 7: Check if the battery fits in the frame" - this should be step 1!

[@HyperMakes]

Yes! My bad I was in a hurry while editing this video.

[@DiabloManiacz]

Few tips for installers: 1) don't install battery as high as in the video, try to get it closer to the bottom bracket for MUCH improved balance 2) don't drill holes to bike frame unless you sure you won't ever be selling it... zipties or pipe clamps will hold the battery just as well without destroying the value of your bike.

[@HyperMakes]

1. Agreed. But i had to mount it a bit up so that it can leave some space for the controller. 2. Agreed. Drilling holes in your frame does compromise a bit of strength of the frame. Try to avoid it unless necessary.

[@erasgonehistoricalmolds2400]

Excellent video. I just received my Hailong today. Mine had mounting slots in the aluminum heat sink that line up very well with my existing bottle mount holes. Do I still need to add mounting holes in the upper part of the battery mount?

[@HyperMakes]

Your call mate. But according to me, the more the merrier. You don't want your battery to rip off your bike frame at high speeds or bumpy roads!

[@boussamamohamed279]

very good job and explanation

[@HyperMakes]

Glad you liked it!

[@irishrover63]

I have the same battery, but a small frame on my Giant XTC, so I have went with the triangular frame bag, waiting on it coming tomorrow. I saw a few videos were the rider had an off and the battery struck a hard object and ripped those riv nuts clean out the frame.

[@One_-_Man-_-Clan]

Thanks for the tip. I'll be stealing your battery next time you go into the quickie mart.

[@mickmorris7708]

Hi, I wondered. Could you tell me how I connect battery to The electric bike the? Wires mean I? 've already got a battery, but I want to put this one on as well.Where do the wires go thank you.

[@dragopovse6998]

Nice work man !!!!!

[@HyperMakes]

Appreciate it! 😊

[@norytam977]

Hi can you please put a link for the tool you using and The nuts please? Thank you

[@HyperMakes]

The nut i used is called a rivet nut and the tool is called hand riveter. Here: www.aliexpress.com/item/32948620258.html

[@ravibachalli206]

Any reason why you did not use an adapter plate instead of drilling holes on the bike?

[@HyperMakes]

No specific reason

[@paulschmidtke425]

What is this modification of which you speak

[@HyperMakes]

I think you are talking about this part of video 7:07 . I am talking about the red switch that is in the battery case. First I wired it in series with battery and controller but later I was warned by some good fellow redditors that the switch normally can't handle that much amps can blow out due to bottleneck of current. So, for the fix/modification I just shorted the switch with thicc wire to bypass the switch.

[@debjyotigoutam3012]

What is your hailong case size in length width and height?

[@HyperMakes]

Height: 90 mm Length: 365 mm Width: 110 mm

[@NivagSwerdna]

You mounted the battery quite high up the tube.... was that intentional? I was thinking of putting mine lower down and am worried now!

[@HyperMakes]

Yes it was intentional. I placed my motor esc there.

[@dust6242]

Nice job! Is that an integrated battery and controller?

[@HyperMakes]

No they aren't.

[@12villages]

Bro, what is bike weight before and after conversion? I found that heavy bike is exhausting to pedal.

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, all the parts at least 10 Kg of extra weight to the bike, the battery being the most heavy. I am now used to riding that weight so i can't notice that now.

[@robertconrad7528]

Can I drill the holes in a carbon fiber frame?

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, you can.

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, you can.

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, you can.

[@user-mz7hb1dq5x]

I used self tapping screws. I installed mine in 1 minute.

[@HyperMakes]

Good to know.

[@niius7663]

Where do you get rivet nuts?

[@HyperMakes]

You can buy them from local hardware store or order online. I ordered them from indialocalshop.com/

[@darlemherrera6158]

Hi i need turn on the switch when recharge the battery?

[@HyperMakes]

No, just plug the charge connector and start charging battery.

[@knockhello2604]

What you mean you shorted the switch

[@HyperMakes]

I just soldered both the pins of switch, to bypass the switch.

[@RonfreTech]

i think my frame is so small for that battery but im not sure the numbers of the size on the page are corrects, can you tell me what are the dimensions of these battery thanks.

[@HyperMakes]

Hello Ronfre. The dimensions of my battery are Length: 370 mm Width: 90 mm Height: 110 mm

[@dinrc]

Like to know if it's waterproof .hero also raining

[@HyperMakes]

Yes! The case is water repellent and handle harsh water splashes but not water proof. If you drop it in water for long, it's probably over...🙃😄

[@paschalisdan2282]

Good Evening! what screws did you use, I can not find screws that match the diameter of the base .. can I have a purchase link? thanks

[@HyperMakes]

These are the screws i used in the video, Timestap-> 0:28

How is you battery now I have a 52 volt battery and after 250 mile on it I can get 7 to 8 miles out of it

[@HyperMakes]

I have already traveled almost 460kms. Still i get almost 74kms per charge till now. I had used EV grade 3C discharge 18650 cells. They have around 1000 cycles lifetime.

[@rishikeshjaiswal1664]

Where will I get all this bolt an machine

[@HyperMakes]

You can get them from your local hardware depot store or order them online. Just search "Rivet wrench".

[@anio6865]

Do you have a link to this battery ?

[@HyperMakes]

No, i don't have any. You can search "48 volt hailong battery" on AliExpress

[@khalilkh7389]

Can use self drilling screw?

[@HyperMakes]

No... I suggest not to use them. They are good for sheet materials but here we are dealing with a round bar chassis.

[@ianmangham4570]

Yes, self tapper will easily screw into aluminium bike frame if it's all you have

[@neilhopkins8673]

Hi, What size bike frame is it?

[@HyperMakes]

15.5 inch

[@pallabpatra4375]

What is the rivnut size???

[@HyperMakes]

5mm or M5 in ISO standard.

[@samdcruz182]

what size frame is this bike?

[@HyperMakes]

18.5 inches

[@DigitalSamTV]

@@HyperMakes ok my bike is 17inches, it def doesnt fit have measured it out on cardboard

[@hanswidemann9726]

I didnt wanted to drill the frame, so I just turned the mount upside down.

[@HyperMakes]

No issues! I also first checked if it was possible and it was, but i decided to go for this method because the mount will be more sturdy and safe. 😊🙌🏼

[@tonywillingham8109]

Must we listen to boy band music?

[@HyperMakes]

Of course not. I was relatively new to youtube then, so bad video editing. You can mute the video if it is too annoying for you. Peace.

[@l3MTA3l]

Just mount the base to the frame with self tapping screws. No need for Riveting tools.

[@Wooster77]

Has anyone here ever heard of frame failure or damage being caused by drilling extra holes for the rivnuts? Some ppl think this shouldn’t be done for safety reasons.

[@HyperMakes]

Yes, you have heard right. Do this compromises the rigidity of the bike frame. I have done this on my own risk and knowledge.

[@markd5947]

drop the music and maybe speak.

[@HyperMakes]

Yup, Agreed. This is one of my first videos that i made. I was new to KZbin then. In my recent videos i do proper voice over.

[@ronronpagala910]

The annoying music which nobody ever likes

[@HyperMakes]

Thanks for the feedback! Can you be specific about which one?

[@ronronpagala910]

@@HyperMakes should be no music at all.

[@2001gogamecocks]

Turn the music off....very annoying

Apologies for the audio. I was very rookie at editing videos when i uploaded this video. You can mute the video instead! 😉
