A very good video of what can be accomplished with a little ingenuity,lithium -ion cells would be better and a better motor ratio,possible with German made motor,also kinetic motor ,72 tooth sprocket is good and a lighter bike maybe a newer 600 with less weight,all in all though a good project well done :D
Ok got to ask, why the fuck are you using standard Walmart batteries instead of deep cycle batteries like yellow tops or something. I would think you would get a lot further and they would last a lot longer since they are made for full discharge and recharges instead of those which are made to burst for starting but not made to be run down?
If you are familiar with electromagnetism, you should know that those use only 10 % or less of its own energy output.
Think of that as a great way to utillize electric power to make hydrogen, some steel plates, water and electricity.
It is possible if you have the knowledge needed to make it work.
Now, get on with it and make way for the future, and we have to do that ourself for our own benefit as well as share what we know because big business won't let us know that too easy.
@spectrospirit I was thinking about magnets and was going to look into it. Do you think that the magnetic system can also be used as a breaking system. If you think about it, they can be used in just about every type of weather condition. Just a thought don't mean to steal your thunder, Good Luck!
And where exactly are you getting your electric from? A COAL POWERED POWER STATION!!!!! the future is electric but from hydrogen power not from fossil fueled power stations
The ONLY reason that combustion engines exists today.. Do you all know what that reason is? If not, let me tell you that it is because of the oil companies goal in keeping their profit as high as possible ( same goes with pharmaceutial companies who generates trillions thanks to cancer). Anyway, They killed the electric car long time ago. So the real root of all evil is the money/profit. But hey, iam sure you could ahve guessed that.. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to conclude that.
Really cool home-build, but by "Green" do you mean coal, natural gas or nuclear powered? Those are the three largest electricity sources in the U.S. and definitely are not "Green". I think it's great to find ways to avoid petroleum use--and electric powered vehicles certainly are a step in the right direction, but it's interesting that we tend to think electricity is "clean" energy. Even hydroelectric power destroys habitat and weakens fish population. Alternatives? Solar? Geothermal? Wind?
that is truly a thing of beauty! Im totally impressed that a do-it-yourselfer could pull something like this off in a home garage! this is very inspiring!
One thing though, it looks like it weighs a ton! does it weigh more than it did with the gas motor in it?
and can one expect better mileage with better batteries?
all in all though I am totally impressed! Now take it one step further and set up a windmill system to charge it and be totally green and off the grid! ultimate!
great build, quality video, good choice of music, you did very well, some of the comments on here miss the point, hold you head up high and convert another one
okay so looking at your channel I see it seems you've heard of those bicycle thingies. Not bad for a folder, though I have a Schwinn Montague (full size MTB folds at the seatpost, can't even tell it's a folder) from the 90's gathering dust in a closet, it is a real slug on the road. Perhaps with good components... I wouldn't consider a 5 mile commute on it, pure drudgery. My all Ti (even chainrings) urban bomber with conti gatorskin slicks and full XTR build, 5 miles in San Diego weather...EZ
This will be the case until more utilities are on renewable but there are many misconceptions within- hydro is worse than coal if dams are built, methane from decomposing organic matter, most solar panels have more harm in mfg than they recoup over their life. Nuclear, well... no free lunch. If you're setting an example for others that electric is in the future well that may be good but for your stated commute I think it's off point- me, I ride a bicycle- a fast Ti hybrid. Green as it gets.
I applaud you sir for an impressive engineering exercise, however, green it's not. On an individual level of this cycle's example, all the cutting, welding, painting, etc is lots of pollution on a local level, and unless you are off grid/grid tie with solar (and only certain types and brands of panels at that) electric vehicles from energy source to rear wheel HP are still less efficient conversion of energy than ICE equal- and thus not "greener" at current supplier source profile. (ctd)
i dont think not too many people not going to be thrilled with electric motorcycle it sounds like a Toy R/c electric motorcycle i dont like electric cars and electric motorcycle they both suck ass gas car are the best.
Eather you like it or not ppl, Electric is the future.. Because gasoline is not infinite. ITS FINIT. once the oil is depleted, or nearly is depleted, there wont be more gasoline. Because last oil reserves will be saved for tires, plastics etc,, not for you to burn up. Instead u'll be riding with a eletrcic engine that beats all old combustion engines in every way..
You right, but you will pay much more money for that.. anyway.. i am sure it would be no problem simulate with some "equipment" real loud motor sound (some turbine or so)
@86Raxor Actually, there's another alternative. Hydrogen. The only by product of hydrogen is water vapour and hydrogen itself is infinite so all we have to do now is perfect the methods of creating hydrogen fuel cells! :)
@wakeupitshere Won't there also be like water drips coming from the "exhaust" as well? If my assumption is correct, this will lead to wet streets. For those of us who live in colder climates, this would be hell. Once all the water on the road freezes, no one is going anywhere safely on totally iced roads. If by perfect method of hydrogen fuel cell you mean a way to recirculate the water vapor/liquid back to the cell and seperate H from O2 to reuse the water, i agree with you.
@wakeupitshere That is indeed as you say a good alternative, maybe the only one. But nanotechnology is creating stuning battery properties such as enabling cellphones batteries to recharge from 0-100% in seconds? Imagine what that will do on the bigger batteris. U'll recharge your bike/car faster than fueling gasoline in the tank. Also, enabling the battery capacity to last ALOT longer ending up in mileages greater than the best fuel-efficient combustion engine there is today.
@86Raxor So what happens when you run out of the same gas and oil which drive the generators and turbines to generate the electricity for your electric motor to run on?
then, you can use solar panels to store the power on, on location batteries (in your garage for instance), to later charge your motorcycle with it, or you can use a stirling engine running on sunlight, or wind turbines, etc.
The point is that the fact that gas is use to generate electricity doesn't mean that gas is the only way to generate electricity, there are many ways to generate electricity that are clean, quiet and renewable (unlike gas).
@almondx Buddy, don't you know that there are increasing efficiency and demand in solar/wind power? dont you know that there are wasteheat facilities which use heat to generate steam -> turbine -> electricity, didnt you know that? Did you also not know that geothermal power is the biggest source of energy available from the ground? But the absolute best and "infinite" source is the sun which bursts in many many Terawatts of power.. Screw oil and gas.. It is meant to be history fora long time ago
@86Raxor Yes renewable energy sounds good in theory, but we have no way of harnessing it in a way that yields us the best opportunity costs to replace fossil fuels for the time being. I do agree that our future depends on their development however. Electricity is the way to go.
Until they figure out how to make the batteries last longer and take FAR less time to refuel (seconds as opposed to hours), this will not be happening. For now, companies should concentrate on hybrid cars. They still use fuel but far less of it. The less we use, the longer it lasts and the more time we have to develop an alternative.

if it cant do wheelies better than my 05 Yamaha r1 than i don't want one ;)
plus it is actually proven that it takes 4 times the resources to make the batteries and things and you will have to own that bike for 20 years to make a different to the environment, still you have to start some where so why not start here have fun building more bikes, cheers
@QuitGas Hey, you should start up a company doing this to old bikes from scrap yards/wreckers yards and selling them on. I'd buy one! In fact, if you post all the details and tools you used to make this conversion then I'd buy a scrap bike and do it for myself. Nice job!
you sir are my hero! I love that bike. I wish i could make my own but it looks painfully complicated to me. I'd like to see what it would be like with lithium batteries
not all Electricity are clean, made by coal, Nuklear powerplants and so on....
the more electricity we need the more none clean will be made.. and the price will be high as hell on electricity... dont be stupid and think this is the way just cuz the bike dont polute...
@PulkaSkurken Actualy if the power sources were green and more resources put into develping green power sources and everyone was using this kind of transport, plus propper recycling/disposal of old batteries etc there would be no problem with everyone owning these. I am from New Zealand, here 70% of our electricity comes from renewable energy sources like wind, hydro and geothermal, the other 30 percent is coal and natural gas. (Nuclear is banned). 40% of our c02 emissions come from transport.
what happens when it dies and your not at a palce to charge it? hmm ever think of that...
i have batterys that charge them selfs. or you can get a nother motor and mount it to the bike and have it as a generator!! wow great advise for you....
I just started a home business dealing electric scooters. I just wanna say i love how you how did this and showed it so good how easy it is with electric engines
Very inspirational clip, I am doing this myself to my cbr1000f. got the bike and getting it re-engineered to fit a harley chain drive gearbox and DC motor, then the electrician for the wiring of the controller and the other fiddly bits then then back to the engineer to build an battery comparpment with aluminium sides incase i drop it. And then the lithium batteries 100aha. 125MPH+ here i come. Cant do any of this myself am not skilled enough.
Interesting, I prefer riding a mans bike . Sounds powerful looks powerful, responsive and ride the bike all day no problems get off and get right back on it the next day and do it all over again. Im not into waiting for technology that might work in 20 years from now. And real men drive gas sucking V-8s too. But if thats not for you I understand, just get of my way when Im on the road thats all. Im getting an Al Gore and Obama vibe in here,gives me the creeps.....need some Palin and Limbaugh
Being loud, smelly and obnoxious is one type of manly. But quiet, powerful refinement is another. It's like a fight between a drunken biker and a Judo master. Which is likely to win?
@Zamboro Well, the Kawasaki 750R stock is extremely quiet and great for riding through the canyons and smooth on long trips too. Theres no drunken biker here just a man riding a mans bike. Or put it in terms you might like , this is a Kawasaki Ninja Warrior... always prepared for battle.
@ChienesSaventPas: I would not worry about electrical components. However i saw the motor has open holes at the end so even with the engine cover, there would be a chance that water can leak to the motor, especially during the rain.
Can i have an update of your bike after u running it for some time in term of engine performance?
@Giminey Don't be such a spaz. Thermal efficiency of a typical internal combustion engine is about 30%, approaching 50% for a diesel, mainly because they have to operate effectively over a variety of rpms. Combined cycle plants can operate above 90% efficiency, theoretically, and Hydroelectric plants have turbines that convert 99% of kinetic energy from the water into electricity. And if you have solar panels, so much the better.
@Giminey Also, electrical motors produce maximum torque at 0 rpm and don't need multiple gears. No shifting means faster acceleration and knees that aren't sore. The new prius electric motor produces 67 hp and almost 300 torques, and is about the same size as a small bike motor. Tell me you wouldn't want any part of that.
i was wondering by using the heavy battery on the front is that effect the balance of the motorcycle and with the different weight on the front is safe?
@KapteinOpel in the description but... it accelerates faster than a normal motor bike, has a top speed of 45mph - only because of the gear ratio he used, has the potential to go much faster, and range is 30 miles but hes using the cheapest batteries there is... add a lithium ion battery and you could get maybe 150 miles?
@Matchinuscrc I hardly think it accelerates faster than my 1000cc... But.. They say an electric motor doesnt need a gearbox, but you say it cant go faster than 45 mph because of the gear ratio he used. Wouldnt it be better with a gearbox anyway? Say if you doubled the gear ratio so the torque potential on the road would be halfed, wont that theoretically be equal to putting a smaller motor on it with half the torque and (theoretically) doubled range?
@KapteinOpel Well sir i dont know much about motorbikes im just looking at videos =D. I'm just going by what the description says, the way you have explained it, sounds possible. Doubling the range would be a great outcome. He said he doesnt need it to go faster than 45mph. Gearboxs in electric vehicles are very hard to make as well, tesla - who produce an electric sports car have tried adding a mere 2 speed gear box but pulled it from production due to it causeing alot of problems.
Lithium offers about a 90 mile range on most bikes right now. He could get as high as 110-120 with Lithium Polymer, but LiPo batteries detonate when punctured, and they wear out faster than Lithium Iron Phosphate.
Lead Acid is terrible. Very heavy, tiny capacity, I have never seen any lead acid motorcycle or scooter that could do over 45mph and still get a useful range. Most converted cars running on lead acid batteries have *terrible* range because they do highway speeds.
Yes, and while zinc air batteries are already here for small devices (like hearing aids) the reason we can't use them for cars yet is that the chemistry of that battery type is inherently difficult to make rechargeable, and nobody wants a single use EV battery :P
Lithium air has great promise, but currently degrades quickly as do most "air breathing" batteries. If they can solve the problems with either chemistry, a 500 mile range EV for the price of today's Leaf is realistic.
Dude! That was GREAT! Nice movie! i´m a pure gasoline head, but not for long...iv´e have an old tx750 1973, that could be a great electrical project.. thanks for the inspiration! god luck in the future.. there is people like you that decrees the price off this technology. sorry for my bad English.
@IIoWoII I agree but shit can happen and the more batteries the bigger the chance. Electric isn't green it just moves the pollution to the power plant instead of your tail pipe. My bike can go 250 miles and tank and takes less then 3 mins to fill up. How far can this go and how long does it take to charge. Vegas is 357 miles from my house. Let's race there.
@JcXtreme72 Moving pollution to the power plant is a step forward. The energy of the future is electricity, get used to it. If all hell breaks loose in the middle east tomorrow, you won't be racing anyone anywhere on your gas burner. Don't get me wrong, I love my liter bike and SUV, but I know their days are numbered.
@EyeSquaredAre It's not the future internal combustion has one distinct advantage. Refuel times. Alternative fuels are the future. My bike and my 1 ton van run off corn a renewable source not based on foreign fuels and my VW jetta runs on 100% waste vegetable oil that is made from soy beans. Once again renewable and not based on foreign sources. Electric can very limited range and takes hours to "refuel" where as my stuff takes minutes. That is the future.
@JcXtreme72 Anyone who has even the slightest interest in alternative fuels and renewable energy knows that corn is a total sham. Do you have any idea how much fossil fuel energy it takes to grow corn and convert it to ethanol? Corn based motor fuel is not renewable. Soy biofuels have similar problems and will never be a viable long term solution.
@EyeSquaredAre And yet it is still a better solution the the process of making batteries. Now imagine the whole world is running those plastic boxed full of acid. Have you personally grown corn to make your own fuel or are you just spouting other peoples feelings on the subject... Yay didn't think so. Corn suck certain nutrition out of the soil so you plant alfalfa after it to restore the nutrients. That is simple botinist stuff right there. Take your growing area make half corn and half
@EyeSquaredAre LoL I was thinking almost the same thing. I'm sooo done talking to some one that has only 1/2 researched and takes other peoples word as law.
love watching two people argue, essentially, over which is the "freer" energy. harvesting and battery manufacturing both take a boat load of energy. as does producing solar panels. and wind turbines. actually, most worthwhile human tasks have a carbon footprint. your argument won't be settled online unless one of you actually goes through the trouble of calculating PRECISELY the carbon cost per mile. until then, theres no use hating each other. all your vehicles sound fun. peace.
@wayfarin I'm not arguing which is "freer" at all and I agree with out calculating the carbon cost per mile we will never know. And I'm not telling other people what to do I was just stating my views that alternative fuels for internal combustion is in my mind a better alternative due mostly to the ease of refueling. I'll admit it did turn into an arguement but hell if some one wants to argue I'm the type of guy that will help them out. I'm nice like that. LOL
@EyeSquaredAre And yet it is still a better solution the the process of making batteries. Now imagine the whole world is running those plastic boxed full of acid. Have you personally grown corn to make your own fuel or are you just spouting other peoples feelings on the subject... Yay didn't think so. Corn suck certain nutrition out of the soil so you plant alfalfa after it to restore the nutrients. That is simple botinist stuff right there. Take your growing area make half corn and half
@EyeSquaredAre corn and alfalfa then after the harvest switch sides. Tada renewable and WAY safer then battery acid. That acid needs to be made and disposed of properly. If every one has that many batteries in their car not all of them will dispose of it properly. And you say corn and soy damage the soil.
REAL Free energy technology exists!But the Big corporations spend millions to ensure that information does not spread to the masses,Find a motor that needs no fuel or input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the revolution!
@XxKitsuneHeartxX solar panels generate electricity..... so yeah. there are a couple websites that have pictures. wait.. matter of fact. check google pictures and do a search for solar charging stations. they have those outlets and you just plug em in. it's pretty damn cool when you think about it.
So when your batteries die, do you walk to the nearest residential home to plug it in? I prefer just walking to the gas station, grabbing 2-5 gallons, and walking back and boom, done, ready to ride. AS for you, waiting at a strangers house, for about 5-8 hours waiting for it to charge lol.
great video. I like the cardboard template you used to come up with the final motor mount. what type of batteries are you using...are they deep cycle car batteries? Is this the best type of battery to use? What about batteries used in UPS systems?
@kooshatotonchi Takes literally tons of diesel to drill and move the coal by train to the factory. Clean coal costs twice as much as normal coal. Nuclear energy is the only solution and is much cheaper than coal.

Whatever other may be thinking, magnets are the way of the future in every possible aspect.
Why?
Because magnetic fields creates electricity.
I am now planning to create a laid-back chopper with in-wheel magnets and the setup required to make it work.
No batteries nor an engine, just a lot of magnets and coils.
The advantages will be more storage space and bike/ chopper with energy that will last for two life times or more created by the magnets.
The wheels should be hubless as well =P

@PulkaSkurken Actualy if the power sources were green and more resources put into develping green power sources and everyone was using this kind of transport, plus propper recycling/disposal of old batteries etc there would be no problem with everyone owning these. I am from New Zealand, here 70% of our electricity comes from renewable energy sources like wind, hydro and geothermal, the other 30 percent is coal and natural gas. (Nuclear is banned). 40% of our c02 emissions come from transport.

GarrettBMXes 11 months ago
@Giminey Don't be such a spaz. Thermal efficiency of a typical internal combustion engine is about 30%, approaching 50% for a diesel, mainly because they have to operate effectively over a variety of rpms. Combined cycle plants can operate above 90% efficiency, theoretically, and Hydroelectric plants have turbines that convert 99% of kinetic energy from the water into electricity. And if you have solar panels, so much the better.
ChienesSaventPas 11 months ago
@Giminey Also, electrical motors produce maximum torque at 0 rpm and don't need multiple gears. No shifting means faster acceleration and knees that aren't sore. The new prius electric motor produces 67 hp and almost 300 torques, and is about the same size as a small bike motor. Tell me you wouldn't want any part of that.

Acceleration? Top speed? Range?
KapteinOpel 11 months ago
@KapteinOpel in the description but... it accelerates faster than a normal motor bike, has a top speed of 45mph - only because of the gear ratio he used, has the potential to go much faster, and range is 30 miles but hes using the cheapest batteries there is... add a lithium ion battery and you could get maybe 150 miles?
Matchinuscrc 10 months ago
@Matchinuscrc I hardly think it accelerates faster than my 1000cc... But.. They say an electric motor doesnt need a gearbox, but you say it cant go faster than 45 mph because of the gear ratio he used. Wouldnt it be better with a gearbox anyway? Say if you doubled the gear ratio so the torque potential on the road would be halfed, wont that theoretically be equal to putting a smaller motor on it with half the torque and (theoretically) doubled range?
KapteinOpel 10 months ago
@KapteinOpel Well sir i dont know much about motorbikes im just looking at videos =D. I'm just going by what the description says, the way you have explained it, sounds possible. Doubling the range would be a great outcome. He said he doesnt need it to go faster than 45mph. Gearboxs in electric vehicles are very hard to make as well, tesla - who produce an electric sports car have tried adding a mere 2 speed gear box but pulled it from production due to it causeing alot of problems.
Matchinuscrc 10 months ago
@Matchinuscrc
Lithium offers about a 90 mile range on most bikes right now. He could get as high as 110-120 with Lithium Polymer, but LiPo batteries detonate when punctured, and they wear out faster than Lithium Iron Phosphate.
Lead Acid is terrible. Very heavy, tiny capacity, I have never seen any lead acid motorcycle or scooter that could do over 45mph and still get a useful range. Most converted cars running on lead acid batteries have *terrible* range because they do highway speeds.
Zamboro 10 months ago
@Zamboro yes theres still alot to be investigated when it comes to batteries, have you read about zinc air or lithium air batteries yet?
Matchinuscrc 10 months ago
@Matchinuscrc
Yes, and while zinc air batteries are already here for small devices (like hearing aids) the reason we can't use them for cars yet is that the chemistry of that battery type is inherently difficult to make rechargeable, and nobody wants a single use EV battery :P
Lithium air has great promise, but currently degrades quickly as do most "air breathing" batteries. If they can solve the problems with either chemistry, a 500 mile range EV for the price of today's Leaf is realistic.

@IIoWoII I agree but shit can happen and the more batteries the bigger the chance. Electric isn't green it just moves the pollution to the power plant instead of your tail pipe. My bike can go 250 miles and tank and takes less then 3 mins to fill up. How far can this go and how long does it take to charge. Vegas is 357 miles from my house. Let's race there.

@JcXtreme72 Moving pollution to the power plant is a step forward. The energy of the future is electricity, get used to it.

EyeSquaredAre 1 year ago
@EyeSquaredAre It's not the future internal combustion has one distinct advantage. Refuel times. Alternative fuels are the future. My bike and my 1 ton van run off corn a renewable source not based on foreign fuels and my VW jetta runs on 100% waste vegetable oil that is made from soy beans. Once again renewable and not based on foreign sources. Electric can very limited range and takes hours to "refuel" where as my stuff takes minutes. That is the future.
JcXtreme72 1 year ago
@JcXtreme72 when you plant a soy bean, it hurts the soyle so it's not so "green" as you think....
but it's much better than regular oil...

@JcXtreme72 Anyone who has even the slightest interest in alternative fuels and renewable energy knows that corn is a total sham. Do you have any idea how much fossil fuel energy it takes to grow corn and convert it to ethanol? Corn based motor fuel is not renewable. Soy biofuels have similar problems and will never be a viable long term solution.
EyeSquaredAre 1 year ago 2
@EyeSquaredAre And yet it is still a better solution the the process of making batteries. Now imagine the whole world is running those plastic boxed full of acid. Have you personally grown corn to make your own fuel or are you just spouting other peoples feelings on the subject... Yay didn't think so. Corn suck certain nutrition out of the soil so you plant alfalfa after it to restore the nutrients. That is simple botinist stuff right there. Take your growing area make half corn and half

love watching two people argue, essentially, over which is the "freer" energy. harvesting and battery manufacturing both take a boat load of energy. as does producing solar panels. and wind turbines. actually, most worthwhile human tasks have a carbon footprint. your argument won't be settled online unless one of you actually goes through the trouble of calculating PRECISELY the carbon cost per mile. until then, theres no use hating each other. all your vehicles sound fun. peace.
wayfarin 11 months ago
@wayfarin I'm not arguing which is "freer" at all and I agree with out calculating the carbon cost per mile we will never know. And I'm not telling other people what to do I was just stating my views that alternative fuels for internal combustion is in my mind a better alternative due mostly to the ease of refueling. I'll admit it did turn into an arguement but hell if some one wants to argue I'm the type of guy that will help them out. I'm nice like that. LOL

@EyeSquaredAre corn and alfalfa then after the harvest switch sides. Tada renewable and WAY safer then battery acid. That acid needs to be made and disposed of properly. If every one has that many batteries in their car not all of them will dispose of it properly. And you say corn and soy damage the soil.
