How To Make an Electric Bike Part 1 www.comcycle-usa.com

[scidhumouse100]

The one thing one must keep in mind is the strength of the frame the wheel or hub is attached to. The new hub's torque can easily damage an aluminum fork or composite fork when in operation. This could be catastrophic to the rider who just installed the conversion kit. Keep in mind the forces at work. This is why you mostly see heavier steel framed type mountain type bikes inheriting these kits and not the lighter road bikes.

If anyone believes BP cleaned up all the oil I have ocean front property for sale East of Las Vegas

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You In this video we begin our electric bike conversion project by briefly looking at all of the components and the bike we are going to convert.

[lupabuatchannel]

I Really Like The Video From Your In this video we begin our electric bike conversion project by briefly looking at all of the components and the bike we are going to convert.

good

i put 240P same

[germanboy000]

were the hell is the kit i can't find it

[Drdump1]

why not try (less revolution) front drive motor with bigger diameter wheel 26" and the 2nd rear Charging motor with bigger Watt n Current on smaller 24" wheel (turn faster) to generate back electricity into the Battery. Both motor with 1Way DC Blocking Diode". So U might get "more travelling DISTANCE without charging it regulary at home !!

[ComCycleUSA]

@Drdump1 That is what is fun about making your own electric bike, you can try out ideas like that and see how they work. If your idea works out, you may have something the world is really looking for right now.

[SolomonJonesIsBack]

@Drdump1 Conservation of energy. Those pesky laws of physics.

can u do it on a mongoose

[doubletriplerainbow]

I wonder how this would compare to a Busettii Electric bike ? They run 60 miles on a charge and weigh about 55 lbs. so that seems like its better. I see them at busettii.com web page. Any one ever rode a Busettii ?? Rainbow

[ComCycleUSA]

@doubletriplerainbow Complete bikes are a good option, too. They usually trade off speed for range. In most states, complete bikes are limited to 20mph top speed. Kit bikes can be much faster. If you ride the kit bike at a low speed and with the right battery, you can get that kind of range on a kit bike.

[jfryda]

Can we do the same on the Dahon Eco 3 folding bike?

[ComCycleUSA]

@jfryda It is a tight fit, and you need to get a motor made for a small wheel, but it can be done.

[chinotovar]

Hi i need help. the battery of my kike (e-cycle koolgachet) is done so i need a new one. Do u have a battery for this bike? please i need it.!

[fairyheli2]

i hope to build a human electric gas hybrid, a small generator powers the motor

[techdavey1000]

Regarding re-gen. Maybe a modified car alternator could be rigged with a roller to be driven by the front wheel. Flip the alternator in for the down grades and adjust the field current. In North Cornwall we have cliffs 400 feet high. Streams have cut valleys through these so on my journey to work it was a 400 foot climb, a drop to almost sea level then 400 feet again. The car used a lot of fuel and disc pads! Cycling not popular in such terrain (15% grades).

[techdavey1000]

Is regenerative braking an option? (In hilly districts its a must have otherwise the battery power is being wasted in the brakes)

[ComCycleUSA]

@techdavey1000 Regen is complicated. The BMC motor has a clutch so it coasts freely but it cannot provide regen. Hub motors with no clutch will always add drag unless power is being applied to the motor. We sell controllers that do regen. If your motor has no clutch, regen is a good idea. I prefer a motor with a clutch - regen on a bike delivers very little charge I think allowing the bike to coast is more efficient.

[ComCycleUSA]

@96Gunslinger69 @96Gunslinger69 These are about 9 lbs. Some weigh up to 23 lbs. Geared internal non powered bike hubs can weigh 4 lbs. Lightweight non powered race hubs can weigh about 1/2 pound.

[the510alex]

how much does the kit cost

[ComCycleUSA]

@airsoft1798 Not as far as I know

[chumbaracing]

Wow - great video!

[ComCycleUSA]

@chumbaracing Thanks!

[getsdhc]

Este wey me cae bien!

[ComCycleUSA]

@getsdhc Me alegro que te haya gustado

[MrWwefan2000]

where can you buy the material

[ComCycleUSA]

We sell most of it, see the URL in the video

[imnameless07]

Umm... can i use this to a BMX??.....

[ComCycleUSA]

It does not work very well. BMX wheels are a small diameter, so it makes the top speed very low. But it does have a lot of torque like that.

[Gornin8]

and just how much does the kit cost and where can I get it I looked on ur website and I couldn't find a kit 4 sale

[ComCycleUSA]

@Gornin8 We carry most parts, but not all. Look under the Electric Bike category

[Lordboobie]

if ur on ur bike and it raining will it be ruin

[ComCycleUSA]

@Lordboobie You need to take extra steps to waterproof it. You can usually get it to handle a light rain, but it is very hard to protect from really wet conditions.

[lilfree22]

i want to install this on a chopper style bike how hard would that be?

[ComCycleUSA]

@lilfree22 I have made chopper style. They usually have more room for batteries inside the frame if you make a bracket or bag to hold them. A rack is sometimes harder to install on a chopper, but it usually be done.

[finalwave29]

How fast and far can these kits go because these is a video named (fastest bike in world) I think that showed a person going at least 35 or faster

in a couple of seconds.The disadvange is the thing has a range of 15 miles on a charge.

[ComCycleUSA]

@finalwave29 Yes, we sell various kits on our website.

And yes, you can make a bike that goes 35mph or even faster, but it takes a lot of batteries for that. you must either carry many batteries or have a short range. We also sell batteries for them of various sizes.

[Matrex50]

Great job! Very good instructions

[dkthemovie]

very informative, thank you.

you mentioned something about a kit at around 2:00?

[ComCycleUSA]

@dkthemovie We dont carry the kits anymore, but we do carry accessories. You will have to look around the web for the kit.
