Luc59457: FASTEST DRILL POWERED BICYCLE IN THE WORLD! 43km/h 26MILES/hr Flat!

[DazedAsian]

i can ride faster than that with just using my legs. Show me something like you going 50 - 70 mph and then I'll be slightly impressed, but only slightly

[luc59457]

@DazedAsian I always knew you asians were fast, but I didn't think you guys were that fast!

[Reginavirtual]

Shooow

[ivooooooto]

i tun faster

[ivooooooto]

i run faster

[damafia29]

lipo4 are a123 cell its there trade name sorry for confusion and ive never seen electric bikes this mental got to get me one and try my hand at a rewire/rewind on that motor kidding it hard enuff for rc brushless with 12-16 stator never mind how many they have must be close to a 100

[luc59457]

I know.. A123 are found in specific Dewalt Battery pack.I just call them all Lifep04's

[damafia29]

get some lipos or a123 cells expensive but you will not be disappointed

[luc59457]

If anything I would get Lifep04's and it definately will not go with this system.. My Currie system is more efficient and lighter. This was the first e-bike to show something very unique.

[nowoolovermine]

Why not call this video "footage of some road"

[nUaSvAy]

Its really all about the gears.

[luc59457]

If you only look at gears, then their will be limitations.. You need to look at everything to meet specific/prefered requirements for some.. In other words, you cannot expect a 250w motor to go 50+km/h on gears. it just won't happen.

[sulataMax]

With a cordless drill, how far can you go in one charge?

[luc59457]

The one I seen on youtube, 4 miles per battery. Slower also.

[maco10810]

Hi Luc I read that all brushed AC motors in drills are called universal motors they can run on AC and DC hence the name Universal, I havent tried it but I would love to know the results, can you try it on 110V DC and see if it works?

[Nevawake]

Luc i get very confused with amps, watts, voltage. Your using a 7.5 amp dril so is it an 240volt or a battery dril? If 240 volt would u need a converter. Ok 7.5amp maybe not. So are u using 12volts, 24, 36, 48 for this dril? Ok i go to my hardware and buy a dril i suppose a cordless. Wat confuses me is your getting such good speeds. so why waste time on heavy batteries and etc? god as u can see im mixed...but i love the hobby

[luc59457]

I used 4 S.L.A's @ 18ah batteries for this one... I agree I did not have to use such heavy and bulky batteries.... I was going to buy "lightning Bolt" batteries (lifep04's) for this one, but then I converted this bike into a Currie, which is even faster and more efficient! The lightning bolt batteries would have totalled over 1000$ but I woulda had 200ah!!

I used an advanced modified sine wave inverter to get my 120v.. This is a corded drill

[luc59457]

If you had a long enough cord, you could plug this thing to your house and drive around it without the need of batteries.... Not saying it should be attempted LOL, just saying it is possible. There are 2 types of sine waves for inverters. Pure sine wave inverters are able to simulate precisely the AC power that is delivered by a wall outlet but the MSW inverters I've used all worked well with this drill, tho the x-power, was slightly underpowered. The Whistler Brand I have is plenty! Rated 2000w

[BenJoshi]

shove that drill up yo ass

[vincent7520]

great

what drill was it ?

and what is the expect battery life ?

[luc59457]

It was a Hole Hawg 7.5amp, 120vac 350rpm angle drill. The expected battery life minimum 250 cycles.

[vincent7520]

thanks and how long / or what distance you cover with one battery cycle ?

[luc59457]

With new batteries it will cover 20kms at around 32km/h.

[HeavyarmsPrime]

Unfortunately while SLA battery makers advertise a life of 300-500 cycles, my experience with both gel cells and AGM (meant to be better) types has been very disappointing, between 40 and 80 charge cycles only. I monitor the voltage at the end of each round trip, I record each charge cycle, and I never draw the voltage below 12.6V (ie 70% charge). Batteries are definitely the main problem with e-bikes, not the motor or controls.

[luc59457]

Excellent, Fantastic Comment man! I have a gell cell, it lasted around 500 cycles, but it is a larger one, around 50AH.. I believe the larger sized batteries will last longer than the smaller ones of the same type.. My SLA's are fairly small at 18AH, they do not bring me that far now, so I expect them to be close to finished. The good thing is they are very affordable, and last a decent amount of time.. I have gotten about 400 charges so far with my SLA's. Thing is, batteries can last much less

[luc59457]

...time if they are not charged to proper voltages, if defective, based on discharge amounts, how long you leave them discharged and other conditions. Good criteria to consider to really improve the life of your batteries.. I have some other SLA's that work like new still, after many uses, because the battery charger only provides up to 41VDC (on a 36v system) instead of 43v and more for some.

[luc59457]

When I say 400 I mean full charges.. I probably had around 800 total.

[vladimir2277]

That's about my cruise speed on a road bike. Top speed is about 35 on a flat road. Is there anything faster coming. About 40mph would be great!

[luc59457]

This same bicycle has just been converted today with a currie motor so it will do around 40mph like the other one does on my channel. Click my name to see all the latest stuff.

[LiquidFl4me]

dude.... thats f*^&$cking awesome hahahahahah!!!!!!!

[luc59457]

First in the world

[ROBwithaB]

That was pretty cool.

But it's so flat there, why not just PEDAL the damn thing?

[luc59457]

I would pedal if I had pedals on this thing... Plus this baby is just a prototype to prove the first 120v ac electric bike that lasts.

[hhohydrogen]

so are you changing the power from dc to ac somehow?

[luc59457]

Yes, through a 2000w - 4600w surge power inverter shown on a video. Originally it was only rated 1000w, but it fried because the motor was asking too much current.

[thu0545]

I have the same comment for all of Luc's videos. Luc shows us all what can be done when ingenuity is employed instead of looking for a "money fix"
