EBIKE take 10 over 30 miles on a 48v 10ah LIPO battery backpack

[skeetab5780]

oh i definitely need the LIPO power...theres never enough power. Thats the first thing you'll realize with EV's.

yes LIPO is lighter and just about everyone that used lipo dont use a BMS..they just use a Low volt alarm so you know when you charge. and you can bulk charge LIPO with a simple powersupply...and just balance charge them once and a while.

also if you buy LIPO buy all the same cell count (ex 4 x 5cell packs = 36v in 2s2p configuration)

Why is that, did you notice any differences? I was thinking about lipo but are hazardous and difficult to charge. If I bought 8 packs of 6s lipo I have to charge each pack separately....yes lipo are lighter and better than lifepo4 but maybe you don't need the discharge power of lipo.

[Vaporcartel]

Are you happy with your LiFePo4 pack or you prefer more the LiPo? I wonder if I didn't did a mistake ordering a 60v 20A LiFePo4 battery pack from China and maybe should I bought LiPo instead? I have 180pounds, how fast do you think I will go with the 60v 20a battery and what will be the range on a virtually flat ground?

[skeetab5780]

@Vaporcartel back when i made this video...i was unsure/unaware of the differences in lithium chemistry's

so i ended up selling the LIPO battery and keeping the Lifepo4...although if i knew what i know now...i would have kept the LIPO

[bridawg24]

Where did you buy your 48v 10ah LIPO battery from? 

[skeetab5780]

@bridawg24 it was purchased from ebikes.ca for 399.99 it was the last of their stock 2 years ago

If you like bicycle trails with bridges, check out the Illinois Prairie Path system, running in the Chicago suburban area. We have hundreds of miles of bicycle trails that are made on old railroad tracks, so they have many, many bridges and tunnels for crossing roads. They are also surrounded by trees in many places that block the wind, and give you shade. And because they are old train tracks, they have fairly even grade, and are mostly straight.

@calirapqueen bike 500 usd motor/controller 350 usd battery 400 usd. so 1250 total for 30mph fun :)

thanks for watching!

[skeetab5780]

because with the laws of perpetual motion and the weight to range ratio also with wind taken into effect over 23 mph. it would not be worth it to put all of that drag on a bicycle. that type of setup may be ideal for a larger EV that could have larger electrical systems. but im also on a budget Happy Ebiking!

:)After taking ur Bath, why not try(less revolution)bigger diameter Drive wheel 26" rear n "2nd front charging motor with bigger watt n power on Smaller 24"wheel (turning more faster)"to generate electricity back into the battery at the same time, both motor with HiPower DC Blocking Diode". So U don't worry much about always back home n charge it at home. Front Charging motor Planetary hub type should b better turning ratio back to ur LiPo

[ClownFight]

@Drdump1, an even better and cheaper idea than using a front generator to charge the batteries is to fit a sprocket on the front hub and connect that chain to the rear hub. I've noticed that whenever I'm riding, the front wheel is turning and wasting all that free energy. Why not just connect it to the drive wheel and sit back 'n relax. My prototype works so far, but only downhill. I just have to make some adjustments to the tire pressure, the local gravity and my psychotropic medication.

if this is truly an electric bike, why does it always sound like your out of breath? And in one part your shadow show's you pedaling. Was just curious. Not trying to bash. Love your build.

[skeetab5780]

@NCOHs13 well technically its a bicycle with an electric hub motor added onto it, so it can be both, and yes i am american so we're all lazy, but im not completely useless...so yes i do prefer to pedal with the motor to give myself a little workout and get longer ranges out of my batteries. Also an electric bike draws the most current during startup from a stand still, and it is recommended to pedal until you are at a normal bicycle speed to drastically improve how long your battery lasts.

@skeetab5780 and thanks for watching :)

[jasonGR22]

very nice mileage u got there!

[dobsonator]

im doing a project quite like yours. except ive used a mini moto (miniture motorbike) frame and have extended the frame by 26 inches and the forks by 16 inches and looks like a cross between a dirt bike and a chopper. one thing i really like about ur bike is the battery is tiny
