  • An overview and ride of a 12HP electric bicycle I build awhile back.
    Specs:
    Briggs and Stratton Etek electric motor
    44.4V 15Ah LiPo battery
    300A motor controller
    45km/h top speed
    Acceleration 0.5G "Limited by flipping over"

    I'm just learning about circuitry and electric motors and actually was wanting to build an e bike from a stingray that originally was my brothers and has been sitting under a porch for a decade. Your post is very informative and is explained well. Thanks

    I´m a big friend of selfmade electric vehicles.
    Your Bike is a big inspiration for me! Thank you.
    Some years ago i saw the "eRockit" Bike and was blown away how cool this thing was (and even is).
    But the whole thing is even cooler when it looks selfmade with brain and love!
    Sorry for my bad english. Keep on exploring, explaining and inventing, Daniel from Germany.

    Well done indeed.
    I am starting on a project like this, but it will never be quite so powerful.
    Indeed, if I can deliver 1 to 2 HP to the road, I will be mighty pleased.
    Keep up the good work.

    The motor is beautiful. My 1Hp when double voltage would cook even with 1/3rd the weight on a run like that . I'd like to see the BMS schematic and software but only for night reading purposes albeit incomplete or messy. I too built my first one around the same time with homemade controller also using pic16 & IRF1404(5). That is truly a fun looking machine!

    2 weeks ago I took delivery of my electric bike, the rules are quite diffrent in the Netherlands.
    In NL this would be considered a moped and you wouldn't be able to register or insure it (witch is mandatory for mopeds to drive on public roads)
    the most common electric bike in NL is the pedal assisted type, so you have to keep force on the chain or the motor will stop.
    max assisted speed is 25km/h.

      in the uk ebikes suck....
      the electric motor shouldn’t be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15.5mph
      the motor shouldn’t have a maximum power output of more than 250 watts
      It must also display one item from each of the following:
      the power output or manufacturer of the motor
      the battery’s voltage or maximum speed of the bike

  • @johnpossum556
    @johnpossum556 Před 7 lety +2

    Excellent work! BTW for about $30 you can get bolt on frame attachment points to use a disc brake for that front. Of course you need to buy a new wheel with a disc brake. I'd recommend the ones with dot 3 break fluid -- super safe and the feel you get is just like a car's foot pedal only through the fingers. Any chances of sharing the 300 amp motor controller circuit?

    @roycohen2013 Před 8 lety

    You mentioned that when you used regenerative braking you dumped 100 amps back into the batteries. What exactly defines the maximum amount of burst current you can feed into a lipo pack exactly? Is it just the charge C rating or does it only really matter that you dont overheat the pack and or charge it at a voltage that causes some kind of breakdown internally?

    Wow, so much custom work! Very impressive results, of course great performance, but also great flexibility. Those little RC batteries have amazing energy density and the current makes me a little frightened. Did you consider a thermal cut-off, or did I miss it?

    • @tesla500
      @tesla500  Před 8 lety +1

      Thanks! The batteries make me nervous too, something like 1000A short circuit current each! it's nerve wracking making those connections in that tiny box.
      There is a thermistor so the BMS knows the battery temperature, yes.
      I'm in Vancouver, BC actually, BC and Ontario both have similar laws I believe.

      @tesla500  Před 7 lety

  • @zaria_klp

  • @guganotubo
    @guganotubo Před 8 lety

    What is the regenerative breaking efficiency? Is it reasonable to commute uphill in the morning and then downhill in the evening and get most of the charge back?

    • @guganotubo
      @guganotubo Před 8 lety

      "Most" depending on the desired speed of course lol

    • @tesla500
      @tesla500  Před 8 lety +1

      Efficiency is probably about 70-80% from motor shaft to battery. Under good conditions you could probably approach turning your uphill /downhill commute into something that uses about as much energy as if it were flat.

    WHERE DID YOU GET THE MOTOR?

  • @bobalong131
    @bobalong131 Před 6 lety

    I've been having trouble finding an answer to this question I'll ask it here. I am fairly experienced with electric drive systems both AC and DC and understand how regen braking works. All of the equipment I'm familiar with usually uses lead acid batteries however so regen charging is much simpler (in my mind)
    the question I guess is, How does regen work on a lithium battery which needs (this is where my knowledge is limited) a much more specific method of charging?

    • @tesla500
      @tesla500  Před 6 lety +2

      In this case, the BMS built in to the battery has an output that tells the motor controller to slow down or stop regen to protect the battery from damage. The battery makes all the decisions, the controller just has to obey the regen current limit request.

    • @bobalong131
      @bobalong131 Před 6 lety

      Thanks, I guess I'll research BMS that support regen or similar topics. Sometimes the biggest struggle is not knowing the questions to ask so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
