- In this video we are building another electric dirt bike, this time we are modifying the dirt bike engine and installing the electric motor into the engine so therefore we can still have the 6 speed transmission and clutch.

are straight cut gears normally this loud? or did I mess up the tooth profile on the gears I made causing them to be this loud?
I believe you still have too much gear mesh.
Spur gears are loud. With oil they are less loud.
Straight cut gears are loud. They will quiet down a bit when they run in oil. Also gears need some time to kind of "fit" with each other, that happens during normal use - gears will naturally create tolerances as they need them.
Nothing wrong with that .
Dude, run an old bandit 600. 6th is howling!
You are not afraid of work, you are the most admired young man on youtube, I love this E-motor build
half of the best builds on you tube were made by this man. Exceptional work my friend.
You are absolutely one of the best at fabricating and machining. You rock Chris.
Get-er-done 😂
Well Chris I just realized it's been almost a decade since I started watching you and damn you've really become a hell of a fabricator. I look forward to another decade of awesome builds.
I came here to say to say the same thing. Dude has put in work and has some major skills.
Tip because I look forward to your Sunday videos and that is a beautiful assembly you made. If I ever see ya at D-town again I got a high five for ya too. Leaks always happen but wheelies on the bench... Dude, that's awesome.
Thank you
Out of all your projects, this is the one I’d be most proud of. I love how you take on complex projects that stretch your ability to problem solve
This electric motor conversion so much fun to watch, I really like it.
Chris, your electric dirt bike engine is so loud, it's like having a rock concert on wheels! 🎸
finally someone had the guts to build one! It has been on my to do list for a while. Of course there is more frictions than actual electric transmissions systems, but having gears will give more battery range. Thank you for making it real!
This is beyond anything I’d ever expect to see on CZcams. Amazing work! It’s been awesome to see the progression of all the builds on the channel but This one is just next level man! Can’t wait for the next video.
you've done an amazing job converting that engine to electric
I have been building multi speed electric vehicles for 10 years now. I have found that 2 or 3 speeds are ideal. What you will find when you're finished is the gear ratios from the gas bike motor will be too close to be useful. Not a big deal. You will just find yourself skipping gears when you ride. This is truly one of the best DIY builds I have seen. I can't wait to see how it performs.
I absolutely love your joy and excitement with each accomplishment. Congratulations Chris, very impressive!
A little tip on making gaskets, clamp the paper to the gasket surface and tap around the edges and holes with the ball side of a ball peen, you don’t have to trace anything and tapping it with the hammer will cut it out for you. It’s how I make all my gaskets. Also that fit on that pin may have gone easier if you threw the pin in the freezer for an hour or two as well as heated up the hole in the case.
That's how its done in diesel fitting
A little tip on making gaskets
buy a cheap ass CNC laser. gaskets in a min to 0.001"
I was gonna say this would have been faster and easier. With none of the blue stuff to deal with.
@@dogdipstick yeah, that’s real cool if you already have all the gear to scan the gasket surface into a program, otherwise you gotta buy that stuff too. Or you will be measuring for what seems like hours, CAD yourself a gasket, cut it out and it doesn’t fit. Hammers are cheap, and the method I described is a lot easier.
@@Chopped93VX I'm pretty sure I can have a gasket tapped out like you stated, before dog can get to his machine and get one laser cut, The whole idea behind a gasket is to seal minor imperfections, so by the very nature it seldom needs to be a high tolerance material or fit.
I have watched you through the years and I have seen your skill progression. You are a master craftsman, Sir! Thank you for all the excellent content.
Getting better everyday. He has that unique desire to build his dreams and the patience to follow through. Very rare.
You did do a very good job making sure all surfaces are flat down on your glass surface plate. I say get rid of the gasket and just Honda bond them. I would trust it.
This gear came out exactly the same way,, as i have imagined such an electric gearbox at the time you were trying hub motors in your dirtbike and got your first expetiences with an electric drivetrain for a motorcycle.
Completely overbuilt, but so absolutely crazy awesome, that all of the spent time on this, the sweat, blood and material which went into this project, does not matter anymore in the end. I can't wait to see tthis gearbox finally drive your cycle in the same way, you and i expected it to perform when the idea was birn to make convert this crazy thought into a real part and push this awesome piece of engeneering and mechanical art into reality.
❤ that!
can't wait for the test ride this is bike gona be a monster
The leak cut was hilarious 😂😂
Despite the issues, so, so awesome. Cant wait to see the bike ripping around!
Absolutely spellbinding! Can't wait for the next one...
I have a lot of respect for you doing all the work yourself. You are truly a master craftsmen. Nice job thus, far I can't wait to see it all finished and rippin!
Your build quality and skill level has really excelled over the years. Super excited to see this build come together! Keep it up man 🤘
Nothing beats a loud exhaust to mask the gear noises.
Aside from the noise that is transference from the electric motor, nicely done. I have a few tips for you: Make a master of all the gaskets you cut out, buy or make a brass hammer so you don’t mar up anymore pins or mating surfaces, be aware that you will probably crack a case or blow a seal since the torque is way higher than a stock 125cc motor, and use GASKETS on ALL mating flanges including the electric motor, to avoid leaks, Drill a small hole .187” from each cavity to allow all transmission oil to drain back to the gearbox, and use rubber mounts when re-installing it in the frame. 😊 (And yes I am a Mechanical Engineer CNC Machinist with 43 yrs experience. I am here to help if needed.
As soon as I saw that cut stop I knew you hit the bearing haha
When he started that cut I thought he was just getting it ready to ""BREAK OFF"" a piece so he could get to the back of the bearing & knock it out easier but after 2-3 hard pushes & one forehead slap later.....................

Highlight of my Sunday watching you fabricate stuff.
Amazing engineering,a small leak is nothing that cant be fixed considering the level of manufacturing..first vid i have seen of your channel,100% subbing for life
This turned out looking like someone made it from a expensive and good shop! Absolutely exquisite
I swear you are going to be the next Allen Millyard! Awesome work Chris!
Hell yeah!! About time someone put together a proper electronic bike, gears are great for fun and performance.
That thing is going to be scary fast
Wow so impressed with your talents , I would place u in the mechanical genius category, nothing seems to phase u , its about time a f1 team or simular saw and appreciated your talents...well done you ....
Great skill set buddy, yes with hindsight you can look back at some stuff, but hats off to you for hanging in and getting so far. Looking forward to you getting it running in the bike. Well done again
You're such a smart and talented guy.
Yes, straight cut gears will be noisy. I also think the idler gear pin needs more material around it
8:33 for future reference, don't bore holes to final dimension, always ream them. Go get yourself a set of adjustable reamers (old tools if possible). They'll be your work horses. Boring holes is (believe it or not) still not as precise as a reamer can be, even with a good mill. You'd have to have a brand new mill with high precision tools and everything to approach the preciseness of a reamer.
edit: also, get yourself some ceramic tile (actual ceramic) squares and make a mount for the bandsaw that places the ceramic tiles at the back of the blade (top and bottom) so that when you press against the blade it doesn't travel all that much. You can glue them in place, doesn't need to be masterpiece level. Quick and dirty will do.
Actually a boring bar will hold a better tolerance with a better finish, a reamer should be good for .0005 a boring bar should hold the same or better, the reamers advantage is that it will hold size all day
Thanks for filming Chris. 😁👍🏼
Definitely some outboard support is a good idea, I was thinking that from the outset! Man...what a project. Kudos to you...this is one impressive project!
This is by far the best channel on the internet. I love how you challenge yourself to learn new skills with every build.
Good luck with the oil leak .... I cant wait for next sundays video !
Amazing! Super well done, I agree with the clutch and transmission. More natural controllability for sure!
watching you over the years has gotten me more confident in learning to make custom vehicles. Your videos are very informative, and i’m glad i can experience your creativity. i also love how the music playlist hasn’t changed. the guitar beat is like your theme song
Amazing!!! Straight gears sound like this.. Please meake the motor support to the other side of the engine..
And once again you didn't disappoint! Awesome work, Chris!
Chris 32:24 into video pause it, there is a hole from the gearbox area into the cavity below the motor plate. i would say its leaking via that area, and then getting into where the engine mounting bolt cavity is. may wanna drop a alloy weld into that hole and seal it up, but also weld where that cavity touches where the motors semi circle plate seals the motor from the rest of the engine.
Upright half cricle plate to the engine original alloy
the hole in the cavity behind that upright motor plate and just to the left of the motor plate is another cavity .
amazing work! remember to add an oil level inspection port/bolt. since you moved the oil stick you no longer have a reference to check it
That thing is about to have some hellacious torque dude you did a hell of a job you should be proud of yourself and it's working trust me you're going through the gears and it's going faster can't wait to see you put it together on the frame and take it for its first trip I know it's going to be epic it is going to be one of them OMG moments
Not sure if you already included one, but you should put in a vent into atmosphere. Also finding the new proper oil level, it'll help to avoid blowing out seals and gaskets.
This is a sick project... This is probably the most professional work you've done to date..
There's a channel called "le dan" that does this kind of thing all the time, with machining old engines. :)
awesome! electric motor "grafting" this should be the new norm haha-great work as always
Some of your projects I watched and thought "I could maybe come close with my skill".
This project humbled me from talented amateur down to 3rd grader with a hammer. Fantastic work.
On a side note you should put up a poll on how long until you break the ever loving crap out of it.
The torque on that electric motor vs. the 2 stroke joke that lived in that housing = hmmm....
This is great! Throw that pin you made in the freezer as well as heat the hole for press fit and it will drop right in, equalize, and be set. Thanks for this content!
Really nice job so far. I'm excited to see the bike assembled and rolling along.
Super excited to see it finished. I'm a huge fan!
Truly a artist with metal beautiful work man keep it up 👍
I think the wobble in that shaft was more caused by your "close enough" cut of the hole itself. Because you didn't drill down in the exact same spot. Making it that slight bit offset of center of the original hole that was drilled
The way you put those bearings in 😂
You mean with a hot plate & after having all the bearings in the freezer over night and then they just ""FALL"" into the hole?
Can't wait to have it complete, like it's my own bike
Extremely talented machinist and fabricator. Great work.
Great build geeza. Cant wait till you got it all going. Aloominum, always makes me chuckle.
I've said it before but i gotta say it again you sir are a genius
Incredible talent and engineering!
You definitely leveled up on this project
Супер!!! Смотреть одно удовольствие! такой проект очень интересен для меня! Творческих успехов друг! Всем мир!
Great project
Awesome content
Love all the detail hard work
You are knocking it out of the park on this build. Having watched you for years, it's like watching my boy grow up. Good on ya, Son. ;)
I watch your videos and think, “I could do that!” However I have just enough experience to realise how easy you make it look - when it is really anything but… great work, simply amazing
Impressive brother your project is beautiful and interesting waiting for next episode
Thank you very much and best regards from Philippines 🇵🇭 and God bless you ☕☕
This has been my favorite so far of all your projects to follow along.
A true master class. Well done!
You have outdone yourself sir!
Dude! You have bloody good skills.
Beautiful man. This is your best work yet.
Such a cool project i cant wait to see the end result
Great work, it is so important to get that middle gear just right. I once got an idler gear wrong and when I got it all in the car it sounded like a soul in torment and had it all to strip down and re do
you're reading my mind dude, i can't wait to try this out. something to think: the torque conversion from the motor into casing, you could be shaking or stretching the bolts
Hi Chris. very nice work, only thing i can say is remove the dust caps from the idler gear bearing so it gets better lubrication. good luck, waiting for the next video!
Such a great build! Feel bad for that leak, hopefully you get it sorted first try!
This is so cool! Been looking forward to these videos lol super excited to see it complete.
Outstanding work!!!
Although you have been precise with your tooth profile, it is not as precise as it would have been with a cutter. Also your axis is not completely parallel to the other axes. That's okay, you will soon see where exactly your teeth touched each other. Tt will become an issu at some point, but it remains to be seen when. you can weld the holes closed and start over if you want. It's great that you've come this far. Im impressed by your commitment and decisiveness. Hats off, you brave soul.
simply entertaining. just great stuff
Work of art in progress 👌
Incredible work, can't wait for the next episode
Phenomenal work my friend!!!!
Amazing work and idea, I didn't expect it would work and look so good
You sir have become a real fabricator and machinist, great vuild.
This man has skills! Much respect. 👍
FYI, Prussian is pronounced like Russian.
YES!!! You did it! 🤘 Cheers bro! 🍻
I think this is your bet build yet Chris, great job. Can't wait to see it rip!
Incredible work. Nice one.
This is the bike build I've been dying to see. Great job Chris!
LOL the ending 🤣
The little thing overlooked always end up doing extra un-needed work hahaha never fails brotha
Incredible.
I have been watching this Chanel since 2019 and this video is by far the best of all !
now that's a thing of beauty!
Congrats!! You did it! I’m very impress!
This is such a sick build!
