- This is a project I've wanted to try for a long time, It turned out far better than expected, this thing goes like a rocket.. A few teething problems with one hub motor but I'll sort that out in the next vid when the new hall sensors arrive.
Thanks BigBattery.com ( bigbattery.com/?ref=266 ) for supplying the 72v Falcon batteries, they performed flawlessly and far exceeded my expectations.

You make some of the coolest gear on CZcams! No fancy CNC's, just basic tools. It's inspirational!! Cheers!
Watch out Elon, here comes Marty...
He and Allen Millyard as well as Andrew Camarata are special people. they see solutions to be done. not problems.
dude is a genuine genius i swear
Kiwi ingenuity all day with this guy.
@@cv990a4 elon would employ him he loves this stuff
I hereby nominate Marty for World Dad of the Year. Such an inspiration to his children, having them help when/where appropriate, then taking what 99% of the world would see as junk, and making a friggin' electric rocket!!!
Sir, you are amazing!!!
looked like he got some husband points out of this one too
It's oddly satisfying to be so happy for someone on the other side of the world. Thanks for sharing!
Marty is a genuine number 8 engineer genius..he's missed his calling electric quads have got amazing potential
This might be the most amazing thing that you've done, and you've done a HECK of a lot! You've also got one heck of a mobile power station there. It could be a pretty good backup for the house. Thanks for the video Marty! Say hello to the family from us in Minnesota, USA.
Now to take it for a ride along that abandoned section of highway near your property,see how it goes on a decent stretch of road
Awesome content as always Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Nice call on the LFP batteries, use em til they're dead and charge em back to full - they're true tanks
I think a shout out to BigBattery is in order = ) Thank you BigBattery for making a whole bunch of us grin ! Looking forward to the next installment Marty and to seeing you roll over the 500k mark ! Hope you are all safe and well.
This is a great prototype. Imagine a version with a few tweaks to suspension and balance and tires. Bravo.
Hi Marty, I've been watching your videos for a few years now, since my granddaughter moved to NZ ,You do amazing things with every video you do, Don't know what your background was ,but they must miss you where you use to work. I look forward to every post. Thank you for being you. Gord , Ontario Canada
Around 22.05 MartyT looked like my 3 year old daughter when I introduced her to her upgraded 36v Barbie atv quad which would do burnouts from a standstill,rolling burnouts,easy donuts dry or wet,do wild enough donuts to sling her off and make her giggle,laugh, scream and shout joyously !😂
Superb project Marty, great to see the Kiwi can-do attitude in full force on your channel.
We call those end cuts drops. Love them ends and drops because they're free.
Very cool project, Marty.
If you make the Mrs. smile, that's a homerun.
@25:03 "That's not going anywhere"..... classic!
With that much power, I imagine it will be pretty good at towing too. Not just heavy ATV or small trailers, but things like harrows too. This may very well prove to become one or your favourite tools for certain jobs. An ingenious idea to convert it to electric rather than fixing what would be a relatively mediocre ICE ATV. Whilst EV/battery technology still has some way to go, this also nicely demonstrates quite how far we have come already. A very enjoyable and fascinating video.
I'm not sure it would have enough torque to pull harrows. Looking at similar hub motors online they appear to have about 350Nm of torque, so 700Nm torque combined. A 12kw tractor will typically output up around 5000Nm at the wheels due to the effect of gearing. So in effect, the motors that Marty is using are great for high speed, but not something like pulling heavy loads. I'm just an armchair critic and you might be more right than I think. I would love to see Marty T test it... :)
@@alskjflaksjdflakjdf On a field, I think you are right, but for tidying up the driveway, perhaps it would be enough. I should have clarified what was in my mind at the time.
@@andrewjones-productions Ah, good point. Thanks for clarifying :)
Way cool to see how this turned out, complete with regenerative braking!
You are at least a 3x genius!!! #1: genius to come up with this project. #2: genius working through all the details and problems electrical, electronic and mechanical. #3: genius that all work was performed outside, on a gravel drive with nothing more than a pistol drill, basic mechanic's tool set and a stick welder. What a talented guy!!!
You never cease to amaze us one of the best technical channels on you tube with practical no nonsense projects that you make work well done keep them coming 👍
I believe that if you touch both bare 72 volt battery contacts you will STOP your HEART!!!!!!!! DC voltage above 48 volts enters the danger zone, please protect your children and enclose those open contact connections. Like the overload breakers mm. away from your hands as you check the temperatures. A nice video showing your wonderful abilities, just pray no one gets hurt with the wiring.
When the apocalypse comes, I want you on my team.
So cool Marty. I think we should vote you in this year’s election..
Snip "It's done" had me cracking up. :D
Performance is always more important than emissions. Nice work!
What a cool project. At first when I read the title, I thought that this would turn out to be nothing, but your fabrication skills are fantastic with relative simple means.
I'm amaized that you managed to turn that old ATV into a well running fast EV.
“My brains... are going into my feet!” Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet - also Marty T as himself.
I've been driving my electric work van for 6 months now and I'm never going back to combustibles. Just so much more relaxing in every way. Great build.
Its the ones who want to keep their horses, until they come to their senses and catch up to the rest of the modern world.
What a great project Marty, you made an electric setup look simple when compared to the all those parts from the old petrol engine. You just have to understand the electrical components and how the power system flows. In the states a-lot of schools are having electric vehicles projects and contests and ive found its been making these electric motors much more available. Lots of opportunities for cool projects.
I wish I understood electrical stuff. Petrol and a carb, and I can go full Marty T on it. Add wiringelectrical/computers and well... That is the end of it. Lol.
Amazing way to keep that bike out of the scrap heap. Probably gonna want some more aggressive tread on the back tires.
30:50... I believe I saw a big smile and someone saying WEEEEEE. There's a kid in all of us.
From repairing decades old stuff to 2020s DIY off grid EVConversion: you make it look so easy - thanks for the inspiration!
This was a really cool project. Always neat seeing what people shove electric motors into, and how fast that ends up running with little to no cost.
Another amazing project, Matty. I reckon that would be a fantastic business, converting old quad bikes, for hunters fishesrs and farmers to help them reduce their carbon footprint with the added bonus of stealth mode
Fantastic project & your wife obviously loved it too!!!
Thanks. As soon as you turned the throttle I could not stop smiling
Me too, I had to cut out lots of giggling like a schoolgirl .. Ive owned a 180hp r1 and many high powered moto x bikes but this thing is somehow more fun 😆
@@MartyT It's hard to beat that "EV grin"! 😁
Damn that thing moves. Nice job Marty. I would be having a look inside the other motor whilst waiting for the new bits because of that funny noise it was making.
With 2 batteries and limiting the output to 30% or even less, one charge will last a bit. Nice machine to have around.
To hell with that. I want to see how it goes when maxed out. But probably not on that narrow track, and definitely not while riding one handed while the other held the camera.
@@TrevorDennis100 I doubt the frame of the ATV is meant for more than the 60kph he already achieved. With his modifications (more like rebuild), he should be careful about pushing the specs as well. We wouldn't want him to get into an accident. On the other hand, limiting the power should help him keep the controllers cooler, especially since he might not install the fans at all.
That's an ingenious use of the brake light switch to initiate regenerative braking.
18:45 Learned this in the hard way as my Campers waterpump did not have that kind of diode and it is controlled by canbus type system and that lead eventually destroying my waterpump node. Now got a new one and pump with diode. This was actually a designers fault but they find it about 10 years time as those nodes suddenly broke in many campers!
Love watching you fabricate and create in near real time. Great editing.
As your speed increases past 160kph, you can switch the electric motors to series to stop the back emf.
You could then line up next to a Top Fuel dragster down at the local dragstrip and in all likelihood hose it off LOL.
I know someone who really enjoyed driving the modified electric quad 😊
Enjoyed seeing you convert the quad
Can't wait to see updates once you get the part
just amazing ATV, watching you perform your magic is like a breath of fresh air
You never cease to amaze me! What an awesome project and great results. I look forward to being able to buy the DIY kit online soon! 😉
Depending on the cost of everything needed, I think I'd consider a project like this myself. Use it for around the house and power it with a solar charger
My uncle has an EV Polaris side by side love it so quite and fast
Oh a doddle for you Marty 😀 , us mortals just scratch our heads and enjoy excellent videos .
Marty Makes. Another great engineering show by Marty.
I've been watching & following Marty from the beginning. This man works so hard, it would be nice If anyone out there knows how to get this man a Mig/Tig welder. Maybe Yeswelder could sponsor him and his wonderful journey. Just reaching out to people /followers on CZcams❤
Call Miller/Hobart. Bet they'd ship him one.
What's stopping him just buying a welder?
This series should blow you right through 500,000 subscribers. What an amazing project! The concept is SO cool and a big thanks to the friend who hooked you up with the motors and controller and Big Battery. You've done a lot of very cool projects but this one knocks the cover right off the ball. I think it's because I know your using 30% of the capacity of those motors. I think it would be a good investment to spend some money and buy some appropriate rubber for the back tires. Keep up the great work Marty and for goodness sake - stay safe. All the best from Pennsylvania, USA!
Wow Marty! You are a really gifted mechanic and electrician…I am always impressed.
Cheers Marty, that one brought a few smiles!
Team up with grindHardPlumbing.
They take the running gear from quad bikes and shoehorn them into frames to fit kids plastic car bodies.
Great video Marty, you never disappoint!!! 2 things - Please be careful matey, those speeds on a quad can end in a long hospital stay! & that DC current limiting trip you fitted are known to be unreliable / possible source of fire (check out the issues the self build camper community has had with them), a regular fuse is a much better bet.
This project would have taken me a year to complete (if at all) watching you do it in the length of 1 upload makes me all fuzzy inside. 👍
It took about 6 days
Oh my gosh man. After you put in the 2nd battery we both laughed outloud at the same time! Good going mate!
Those hub motors cone in sizes up to 8kw with peaks 2x or 3x for shorter periods. Enough to power a small car at freeway speed.
MartyT has posted a video… Drop everything! Great project, thanks for showing it, Marty. Interested to see how this pans out. Thank you. Les in UK 🇬🇧
you ever feel like teaching a young bloke a thing or two you let me know and ill pitch a tent in the woods and work for you on the daily, love your work marty
37 minutes?!?! OKAY!! Here we go!!
G'day Marty, the 2nd battery between the chassis rails over the back end for traction buddy. Awesome build, too. But I wouldn't expect anything less.
A BIG Wah Hoo from me m8....😊
Great idea, great talent and imagination. If I were younger and knew the world as we know it was to be ended I would like to be Marty`s neighbor. It never hurts to be survivor prepared.
Did not see this happening on a Monday evening! EVERY MartyT video is a joy to me. Shit comes and goes but I love this content! Honest to gawd, thank you for your efforts. Also, headed off to Yosemite tomorrow. But I'll be back on the 16th. No content or other socials because my life is none of anyone else's business but those I choose to include. Meanwhile, there's this guy who gives us this tiny slice of his that I fucking relish!
cheers from Israel Dear Marty - thanks for letting me 37 minutes of head clearing..
The quietness of electric motors is something else. Much more peaceful ride.
WoW this is just the kind of project I have been waiting for! As always, love your work Marty and keen to see future electric projects 😁
I was always taught not to make a mountain out of a molehill, Marty I honestly believe you could actually make a mountain using that molehill & a few extra bits 👍🏽, I’m once again blown away & inspired by your ability & tenacity & your cinematography. God bless you & your family & your pets. Thank you for highly entertaining vid’s 👍🏽🙏😊
Trick photography at 9:16? You are killing me, mate.
😂
Brilliant concept and astonishing execution. The free power is an absolute cherry on that cake. Big thanks to the battery people for changing it from a bit of fun with an old car battery into an eco-rocketship.
This project is so exciting, can't wait for the parts to arrive!
You make a lot of work look easy but I'm sure it's not all flowers and rainbows.
Well done!
Well Marty I might be 5 days late to this video , certainly no shortage of smiles though, what a great creation ,repurposing old hub motors onto a free quad, ice thing about whatever the torque rating is , you have 100% all the time , at 30% it ran great , then both batteries in parallel and then turned up to my guess 40%, it goes really well, the 2nd battery on the front is good, it'll stop you from dong wheelies 🤣 it'll be a hoot to use to go and pick up your mail, your battery life on those is going to last you quite awhile, there is almost no weight for them to push, i look forward to the next video, my friend here in central Canada where we get lots of snow, his wife bought him a EGO battery powered snow blower, a 2 stage unit, I got a chance to use in 10 inches of fresh snow and man does it work nice, throws it 50 feet and you get a solid hour out of the 2- 7.5 amp/hr batteries that are 56 volt, when my gas unit dies, that is what i am buying and it is built as strong as my gas unit, 👍 BTW Marty was Dr. Nefario your teacher or influencer 😉 just curious
Jerry rig everything of New Zealand! Love this
The things us fellas will do to impress our ladies... I'm sure Mrs. T knows she hooked an uncommon one. Nice work, mate, truly inspiring!!
Awesome project Marty. Brilliant work as always. Cheers to bigbattery for bringing the power.
It's videos like this that make me crazy jealous of the wealth of information you have stored in your head. At the beginning, looking at that box of parts, I would have been totally overwhelmed and never started a project like this. You make it look so simple and matter-of-fact, but there's an extreme level of expertise behind everything you do. I wish I could just hang around the farm and absorb 1% of your skills and knowledge!
Those Anderson connectors are the absolute bomb for dc connections be it a winch,winch controller,battery connections,power supply connector,etc..Heavy duty enough,low drag,economical, and easy non reversible polarity protected... well worth the minimal outlay no matter what your dc needs..
Good one...they need this build on the market....
Hands down one of the most awesome projects on this channel to date. And I dont miss many.
Great video Marty!! Love what you did with the 4 wheeler! Looks like it's going to be an impressive machine once you get the new parts installed.
Now all you need is a couple of wings and a prop! 👍
I see the chickens approve of your handiwork. That looks very fun. Nice job.
The venerable Honda 250 Recon was supposed to replace the 1988-2000 Honda trx300,but only came as a 2wd,was not the uber reliable,almost bullet proof 289cc side shaft engine that won Honda a solid reputation for reliability and toughness but a transverse mounted,shaft driven,smaller displacement,even weaker rear diffed utility type atv that only an elderly grandfather could love... The "big red" 300 that marty has is the identical Honda trx 300fw that was sold in America but the tank was rebadged with Big Red instead of fourtrax... the 88 300s came with a slightly higher lift and duration camshaft, did timing chain,harder chain guides,a different header,and a slightly larger pilot jet and main jetting which produced slightly higher torque and hp ratings than the 1990 and later models..
I’m always amazed at the different projects you take on! This idea was fantastic! Thanks for bringing us along.
Marty, I dare say you'd make MacGuyver blush with your ingenuity. Impressed as always.
Best sponsored video ever!
Matt i ran a similar machine. The grader blade can be changed to a maintainer blade to eliminate dirt and debris buildup under guardrails. It is flexible in its uses foe smaller projects.
Outstanding Marty your skillset continues to blow me away.
Who would ever have thought you could re-power an old shitter Honda Quad with something like that?
Congrats, Marty - -that thing will be a beast when the new bits arrive,
* Wee blast down the track* turns into an absolutely filthy Rip up and down his cliff road hahah
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Absolute genius, recycling. Great job Marty
Either two micro switches or a circular encoder would be great on the steering tube to activate a specific state where when you turn the ATV, the inside drives either disconnect and freewheel or they reduce power (probably the better, but i'm not sure how easy the programming is on that brain box).
Great idea. An electronic differential!
Conversion from petroleum to electric is awesome. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
your knowledge and skill on display once again, with that down to earth vibe that makes for enjoyable viewing. ✅👏
Wow 15 kw on a small quad is insane, be careful with that. One of those motors going through the existing diff would have been plenty.
One of those motors would probably run your saw quite well.
Self vulcanising rubber plumbers tape is great for making seals around things like that shielding around the wires, I hope the silicone lasts but will probably leak soon.
Great bush engineering once again.
Marty, once again you have brought us an extremely interesting and enjoyable project. You, sir, are a treasure!
Seeing the Missus going on a spin on that thing makes it even better, if she accept it, it can only be good!
That thing is awesome!
Looking forward to the follow-up, great build!
👍👍👍
I can't wait to see it return with the faulty bits sorted and really see not only it's full power potential, but It's range too. Such a neat project!
Bloody ripper project mate, looking forward to the next one!
EV conversions for the win 😊
Awesome Marty as usual, inspiring mate, love your work, just built my power turbine from your videos, can't wait to test it out :)
Best EV DIY build I've seen on the intire enternets!
You are a Wizard! The road you were looks like some of the trails here in the Smokey Mountains in east Tennessee. Beautiful.😊
