  • Building an insane (stupid!) custom DIY 3000W [3KW!] 45MPH BMX ebike! In part 2 you'll see me mount the tires, modify the battery tray even more (still not 100%!), mount up the front brakes and attempt to modify the rear brakes and also mount the motor and controller. This is only the 4th e-bike I have made so far and I'm still learning a lot so I'll show you all of the mistakes I made along the way.
    Fortunately this build went quite a bit smoother than the digi-camo ebike build, but there still were some hurdles to pass, but at least for this one the painting was a lot less complicated.

    \\ BMX E-Bike [4.0] \\
    I wasn't really planning on making another ebike so quickly, but my coworker gave me this BMX bike so I figured I could turn it into a grocery getter to save from having to drive my car to the local store. I also wasn't planning on spending so much time on this build, but every time this happens I keep improving small things until the entire project has taken up so much time!
    BMX bikes will always have a soft spot in my heart, growing up as a very young kid I used to rent "RAD" on VHS all the time, with 12 year old dreams of taking a young Aunt Becky to the prom where we would do freestyle tricks in the gym while 'Send Me An Angel' ( • Real Life - Send Me An... ) blasted over the PA - if you didn't grow up in the 80's you're sorely missing out!
    This definitely isn't a guide, maybe something more to inspire you to create your own. However I will be making 'how to' and 'how to do' tutorials on how to make an ebike from start to finish in future videos.
    \\ Parts \\
    1. The frame
    This is actually a cheap Walmart BMX bike, it only costs about $90-100 and it's actually not that bad at all. It has a cool front brake system that allows you to turn the bars all the way around without twisting up the brake cables! Nothing special here really, just a traditional steel frame.
    2. The motor
    I got this kit off AliExpress, it's a 72V 2000W motor kit. I really wanted an LCD display and the controller this kit came with did not have a display, so I asked the seller if I could get one that did have it, and they said they would make me a custom kit with a different (more powerful) controller that had a display. It did cost a little bit more, but it is totally worth it to me.
    3. The controller
    This is an upgraded 50A controller with a LCD (IPS) display, I believe the controller that came with this kit is only 30A or 40A, using this 50A controller pushes the output to a whopping 3500W!!!
    4. The battery
    I found this battery pack on eBay, I thought the packaging was the perfect dimensions for this frame as there is not a whole lot of room for almost any components given how tiny this frame is. I later realized that this 'pack' was actually just a series of 6 smaller packs, it does have 60A output, but had I know that this was configured this way, I probably would have went with a different pack as I did have to modify a lot of the wiring to make it cleaner and more robust.

    I actually something similar except I mounted my battery on a rear rack lmao.
    Not sure if that’s a great idea or not. I just don’t want that rack to snap off or some shiet.
    I also have bungee cords wrapped the battery in a way that it holds the battery on the rack. And another bungee to hold the battery in the case if the rack snaps off suddenly.

    • @hightech-lowlife
      @hightech-lowlife  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks man! Rear rack should be fine! I only don't like that position because you already have all of the weight in the back with the motor, but aside from that it's an easy way to add a spot for the battery 👍Bungee cords should be fine for mounting, the stretchiness can quiet down rattles too.

    • @hightech-lowlife
      @hightech-lowlife  Před 2 lety +2

      Never would have imagined haha, I keep calling these 'friction' brakes but I think they are rim brakes, or 'caliper' brakes more specifically. I remember as a kid these did not work very well, probably because I was going down hills in the rain, but I can attest that they actually work surprisingly well. Maybe just because I'm bigger and can squeeze the levers so much more. Thanks for the suggestion I'll check out a hydro setup!

      You will need to stretch. BMX is 110mm dropouts, most kits are 135mm. Some front wheel kits are 110 but they are meant for the front wheel.

    LIPO or Lithium ION batteries? Did you have to wire them in a series? I heard LIPO is cheaper and more powerful, but more risk and a pain to charge separately.

      @hightech-lowlife  Před 2 lety

      @@Full_Throttle_no_Brakes These packs (and others) that are 18650 cells are typically made from Lithium Polymer (LiPo), this has to do with the material chemistry of the battery. I know that these packs are LiPo, as most that contain 18650 cells are. Of course there are different grades available that can focus more on discharge rate (C) or high capacity (mAH). Also varying degrees of quality, these packs are shown to have Samsung cells.
      I took a look at those packs you use and I'm not sure if they have an onboard BMS for over and undervolt protection during charge or discharge. A lot of RC packs do not have BMS's built in because they have a separate speed controllers and chargers that will do that.

    never use slime at 32+ mph. Your tire will have slight up down up down wobble. Ounces can turn to pounds when wheel spins at high speeds. Take a paper clip and string with small weight. tape string to surface and spin very fast then let go. the weight will rip tape off due to centrifugal force multiplication. Amount of slime = off balance weight.

Although I've never had a problem with slime regarding hop/wobble/obtuse concentricity even at high speeds. I don't go very fast though on ebikes (20-30 max), most bicycle tires are not made to even go that fast, let alone double 👍 If I want to go really fast I have motorcycles for that.

      I have a 52v 1800w motor rear with a 80cc engine on a electra cruiser frame called the red sonja. She is sturdy and cruises at 55 mph with HD bearings. She use to wobble with slime at 30-40mph. Safe vehicle as she is made of 100% German steel. The lining does work great...without it I feel naked. A standard bicycle rim is rated at speeds of 100 kmh. HD bearings double. UHD or Moto wheels triple and more. I pack my bearings with red grease as white or moly "fling" out at high speeds. Red Grease does not as it is the stickiest grease. I do things like this because i have my own shop and build whatever I want. I even build motorcycles. My current project is a ebike that has 96v 12000 watt. IDK what i want to really do with it. @@hightech-lowlife
