Brillant ,good recycling of used parts anyone in the world can have a electric bike without spending lots of money .Third world counties have the materials at hand to power a bike or trike.
Wind blows your bike over, you're going to have busted battery acid EVERYWHERE. You need to mout two batteries on either side as close to the ground as reasonable, below the axles. NOt way up there at seat level.
That's pretty impressive, But unfortanatly my bike got stollen. Not only do I not have a bike, but I also don't have the money right now to do what you've did, which isn't that hard, just takes patience, and a lil know how. Nice Bike Man.
Fyi, its not a bike if it does not get pedaled to propel the thing. without pedals it counts as a moped/motercycle. like you said in title "motorbike"
Can u pls tell me which motor did u use 4 this trike and also something bout the battery how much speed u attained at an average and what is load carrying capacity of this trike.
firstly its not the worlds fastest electric bicycle.. and it wouldnt be good offroad, it would fall apart, but for a cheap commeter ebike it looks alright, also how do you charge it?
starters heat up in like 1 min ....that batt is also not made to rapidly discharge , they tend to blow !....whats the range 100 yards !....lmao....try not to kill yourself on that death trap dude !...peace
hey there good looking bike just wondering have you broken any spokes yet my main concern by your design would be a few problems one no peedles so the moter would have to rip the crap out of the back wheel from the get go and your other problem would be no good for open road as would be illegal other than that sweet ride
good tune great video I want to build my own I have one from walmart but for some reasion it just dont seem fast enough if you know what i mean so I"m going to build a costom trike that is all electric and you are using a starter motor and what was it from.
@ElsHouse There was no manual, i was at a junk yard one day and saw the parts i would need and built it from there. Amazingly it worked first go with no testing or changing the design
im building one simmerler to yours but mine is using a wheelchair motor (100rpm ish) belt drive to the other side of the peddle bit so i still have 18 gears !!!!
Well done! It looks like a similar system to the one I'm making. The only difference is I'm putting the battery between the chain ring and front tyre to keep the c of g low.
Im looking to make a electric powered bicycle and was wondering how well does the starter motor hold up, lots of people say they will burnout in about a month of hard use. Im looking for long term use power assisted bike to avoid buying gas and also be eco friendly.
It will be a thing of beauty to put that battery a lot lower to bring down the center of gravity! that will make it a lat safe in the event of a CAT aSSS trophic crash! don't you think so? never the less you don't have to think about stinking safety!
ummmm i built better but good job anyway how about hooking up a train horn to get even more attention hehehe and umm lets see.........................o when ur going down hill turn it off so u reverse the current and charge the battery!!
I hate to brake it to ya, I highly doubt this is the worlds fastest electric bicycle. The cyclone is probably faster since it uses 2 1000w motors. I also know a guy on here who has traveled 96km/h with a hub e-bike, surely some have done more but this was recorded. Efficient systems meant to handle loads for longer. Starter motors are easy to come across and very affordable. My first was with a big wiper motor which saw its day pretty quickly. lol
Nice video. Have you considered investing in a lithium ion battery (over lead-acid)? Also, regenerative braking would be an interesting feature, for it, as well. You sound "mechanical enough", to come up with any number of interesting improvements. One thing is certain: the "price was right", as we say, here in the States.
i think you shouldent go any faster that that with that gear you have cuz most likly a huffy bike gear wont hold any faster that that and the teeth will strip off
Great project, very easy to implement, starter with solenoid practical e cheap, only question is what is the range and how long lasts the battery if you have to charge it every night at 2 amp?
It's real easy to tell a person to use the top of the line parts, like battery, motor, brushless vs brush, and so on, especially when it's not comin out of your pockets, but dang guys, this looks fun exactly the way it was made to be.
interesting, but not clever. a starter motor isn´t the right motor for such projects. (to many amperes, not made for long runnings!!! only a few seconds) you would have a better result with a brushless motor.
a brush less motor needs a special speed controller. You obviously do not know what you are talking about so why even try to cut him down? You are right a starter motor is not the best motor for this, but for $5 it works.
A brush less motor this powerful would cost atleast $500 and the speed controllers would cost much more than that. A brush less motor for a little RC car or plane can cost hundreds of dollars let alone one big enough to carry a person.
You're right that brushless speed controls can be expensive, but equivalently powerful motors aren't necessarily $500. Look up the HXT-130 - upgrade the bearings, add glue to the magnets and you're in business.
Also, it's possible to cheaply add hall sensors to these cheap-ish outrunners and use cheap brushless sensored controllers.
Its awesome, i've used a radiator fan motor and modified it to use it for e-bike. its been 4 years now and its working fine. i'm using my creation to take me to office and back. its doing quite well. Yours is very simple and parts readily available in the market but its not reliable and durablei guess. Any way nice job well done.
thats cool men.. but i think you have xtra kgs on ur back {batteries} when ur going on a semi hills nd low batteries occur.. you should try the lipo batterries.. hehehe but ur cool i have also ebike check mine ..
Neither that type battery nor the starter motor were designed to run more than seconds at a time. A deep cycle battery would last much longer so I suggest getting that type when this one gives out.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE GO GO GO LMAO Thats a fkin pearler i had a petrol 1 with a Sthil FS86 spinnin me wheel & didnt i have fun, looks deadly though but fk it id ride it
oh, it,ll get hot. in a higher gear that motor will be pullin some amps and heat up. alot. i'm workin on an a 10hp dc elec motorcycle.and it ain't cheap. i'm impressed with the low build cost your bike. i think i may have gone the wrong direction. thank you for the great idea.
electric bikes r great.i like the phoenix hub motors.i put one on a sun bike and it goes 22 mph with no peddling for 25 miles before i need a recharge.
But: how long will live/withstand your starter motor in a such heavy duty mode of opetration?!! Look, starters work in cars for mere seconds, not minutes, nor hours. It is not the motor for long time operation, IMHO.
And the second is the question about its efficiency. it is not only an issue of energy saving (from accum) but rather issue of motor overheating.
thats nothing!!!!! i stole a gas one of thous i had it for aa month went 45 would own that thing i stole from the right person teehee but i got cought
my uncle welded me a gocart together out of aluminum and steel bars and put a car seat and then put a car starter in it but my grandpa sold it and i never got to drive it : (
Fastest "Starter motor" electric bicycle I've ever seen. That must not go very far as a starter motor draws huge current! the smallest I've seen was "rated" 1000w, 1kw and it was pretty small! Also, how can you use your rear shocks with a back rack like that? I've seen one that went 56km/h, nice work! Really loud =)
Ive riden it around for 20min or so and the battery was still ok, probally wouldnt go for much longer then that im guessing. Ive designed it so the battery rack and the rear swing arm move as one peice, this allows the bike to keep its rear supension.
I'm sure that the batteries were below half after 20mins. I see what you mean now by the back rack. That's pretty impressive and it looks suprisingly strong too! I have never seen something like that rack. Do you feel the weight shift in the back? Have you seen my bikes? I have one where there "was" a battery in the back rack but I changed it and like it better that way. How heavy is that battery just wondering? Must be around 15-30lbs given that its 550cca. I hava a 950cca geltrying to sell it.
@meepsgood, it's a fine job, and I wondered how you got the chainring to freewheel?
Guys, =any= electric motor of the sort to be used here, basically, only draws power in proportion to the work load. "1,000W" only means that the motor is =capable= to dissipate the waste heat caused by a 1kW power consumption (high load, like going up a long hill). A motor will only draw a hundred Watts or so at jogging speeds on level ground.
i would think those starters would overheat. they are meant to start a car within a few seconds. video is proof it works, nicely done

You really shouldn't fill our heads with these sorts of ideas. I just know I'm going to do something dangerous now. Keep building! Nice work.

I like it! It just need some foot pegs and a chain guard, couple of angle pieces should be good.

that is really nice. i doubt that bicycle helmit will save your head if a bearing seizes up. overall, that is a nice simple lite set up. good job.

Can you please draw up a guide how to build one of these???
For all of us who want to get rid of our cars and be truly eco friendly!! :D

will it go much faster without breaking the chain because of all the torque

Fastest "Starter motor" electric bicycle I've ever seen. That must not go very far as a starter motor draws huge current! the smallest I've seen was "rated" 1000w, 1kw and it was pretty small! Also, how can you use your rear shocks with a back rack like that? I've seen one that went 56km/h, nice work! Really loud =)

Ive riden it around for 20min or so and the battery was still ok, probally wouldnt go for much longer then that im guessing. Ive designed it so the battery rack and the rear swing arm move as one peice, this allows the bike to keep its rear supension.

I'm sure that the batteries were below half after 20mins. I see what you mean now by the back rack. That's pretty impressive and it looks suprisingly strong too! I have never seen something like that rack. Do you feel the weight shift in the back? Have you seen my bikes? I have one where there "was" a battery in the back rack but I changed it and like it better that way. How heavy is that battery just wondering? Must be around 15-30lbs given that its 550cca. I hava a 950cca geltrying to sell it.

how did you get the sproket on to the motor, did you have to take it apart or somehitng?
theleakytaps 2 years ago
no need to take it apart. I just centered the sprocket on the starter motor drive shaft and welded it there.

@meepsgood, it's a fine job, and I wondered how you got the chainring to freewheel?
Guys, =any= electric motor of the sort to be used here, basically, only draws power in proportion to the work load. "1,000W" only means that the motor is =capable= to dissipate the waste heat caused by a 1kW power consumption (high load, like going up a long hill). A motor will only draw a hundred Watts or so at jogging speeds on level ground.

=everything depends on the load=

cover all the wires with electrical tape. look nicer feel safer.
