We Built A DIY Electric Pit Bike [Dirt Bike / Motor Bike]

- Me and Dad set out to convert this cheap pit bike from Facebook marketplace into an electric machine!
Building this electric pit bike was a lot of fun, but we still have some things we want to do it to for more power and comfort! This bike uses a 1800W brushless DC motor with an E-bike style 1800W 48V controller, combined with a 48V lithium-ion battery pack. The next main upgrades will be the battery and motor controller, as the motor can still be pushed a lot more!

great project, looks awesome. nice to do a little build with your dad too.
Cheers mate! Was good to keep us busy for a bit during lockdown ahah
Mate, such a good project idea with your dad and quality editing as usual!
I love your honest approach, and the fact that you are learning as you go.
So cool to see you and your Dad working together. Looks like it turned out pretty good especially considering it was your first. E-Bikes are the coming thing keep up and you may become the next brilliant designer.
Laughing with the dad moment..priceless. Never experienced it but i sure will with my son!. Great vid bro.
Amazing!! I love this! Really great ideas & nice little project! I feel like I’ve learnt so much from this! 👌🏽 🏍 👍🏽
Ryan you are the reason i got a wr125x. Best purchase ever.
Great tips regarding the motor rotation. Thank you :)
You just earned yourself another subscriber. Quality work. Very much enjoyed this.
Been a minute Happy to have you back
great little bike ! too cool !
Love what you’ve done there pal, I was thinking of doing this a couple of months back but couldn’t find much about it
Y’all hilarious, love the build
A nice father/son project
Man y'all having too much fun over there in the UK make me want to come over there and try to make an e-bike and live
Should have kept the pit bike tank and put all the controls in it and put battery underneath where the engine would go
Awesome, im soo glad that you showed how to mount the motor without welding. I bought the same motor last month and still waiting for the battery. Thank you! Subbed!
Thanks a lot!
what battery did u use as got a pit bike awaiting for the motors
STEWART DEAKIN sorry for the late answer here is the battery: SEK 3,131.75 20％ Off | 52Volt Super Polly E-Bike Battery 52V 21Ah 18Ah 15Ah 14S6P Electric Bicycle Batteries for 1000W 750W 500W Bafang TSDZ2 Motor

Good job guys.
ayyy glad ya back fella
Father son projects are so cool
Great prodject great video great explanation
So cool man 😎💪
Looks like fun
I think electric bikes are more fun than gas ones. For me of course 😁
Great job by the way. 👍
awesome video bro👍👍👍
Like best m8s you and your dad love it wish my dad was into stuff like this
Hey great project you guys. I am new to your channel so I will catch up. I look forward to seeing your project progress.
Cool bike.
Hahaha the welding glove temporary seat.
🤌🏻🤣
Hey mate, good job looks sick, I've been building electric stuff for awhile and on the controller there are normally two wires called self learn or something along those lines. Look at the wiring diagram for the controller to find which two, plug it in and turn the battery on and it should go one way and if it doesn't go the right way take it out and plug back in, when finished unplug the wires and your done. But good job looks like fun
cool i really helpd me this video
hey man, great video thinking of doing something similar, did you have a kit for the motor and everything?, if so where did you get it,
cheers man
When it comes to personal transportation and recreational electric motors, you can't beat these kits out of China. 1kw 1.8 2.0 2.5 3.0kw. All brushless mostly all paired with a controller and throttle for cheap!
That my1020 motor is a beast, I’m running 5,000 watts through it on my escooter no problem.
cool project
have you thought about wrapping the motor in copper tube- passing the controller, getting a tiny radiator, reservoir, and water pump, and trying to put more volts through the motor? food for thought, fun project!
Just wondering if anyone would know but the motor that he’s using on this build could it take 72v
*great job guys but I like just to ride on it*
Nice.
Pro tip: If you have any old batteries (especially lead acid), check if your local battery stores or scrapyards will give credit for them. I got $15.20 for 4 SLA's, 1 car battery and 1 motorcycle battery (all very dead).
Good bike
what controller are you going with on the upgrade you plan to do? i just purchased the kit you have in this video and am currently looking for a donor bike to e swap
Good idea
Helps when your dad has a sick workshop and has crazy skills like liam neeson /A TEAM
nice job .. i would mount the motor on the sway arm myself
How much torque does the electric motor have?
Where did you pick up the motor from?
I built a simlar dirt bike over lockdown as well, same motor but an £80 5kw controller! Goes like stink!
this has inspired me to make one I love this so much and I'm like 10
Is it a 110cc pit bike just wondering I’m planning on doing the same thing just wanna know what size it is
Nice
How much over all did this build cost as I'm interested in building one just wondering how much all together it was / set you back ?
distance drive sprocket is away from swing arm pivot ( big ) could be a prob when you start hitting bumps ( chain will go slack /tight through suspension stroke.) old school mx bike sprung chain tensioner may help.
Thanks for the advice, I was thinking I might need to add a chain tensioner, I will have a look at getting an old Mx bike one or something similar!
How much was this entire bike build in total
Wicked mate were did you get your motor kit from
Is pretty cool
He back
where did you buy the kit
That’s so cool! How much did the whole thing end up costing?
Круто👍 сними ещё видео про этот байк.
Beauty
Any links for the electronics? I'm looking too build one but i don't know much about electricity and i don't want to buy a bunch of things that aren't going to work together hahaha
What is the kit that you used called?
How many tooth in back sprocket?
I just went through my junk pile found a motor now to get everything else
Great..
Sr150 to electric with a lone star? Would it work
Do you remember by any chance what bike this was?? I just picked up something like it but I’m swapping the motor and need a fuel tank and plastics but I’m not sure what kind of bike it is
Ryan, you are the reason I quite RUclips. Best worst ever.
I’m currently building a bike just like this! I’m just curious on exactly what sprocket sizes you used in the front and rear. Thanks in advance!
60t in rear and 9 on front
👍
From 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
What is max speed with this ?
Great work lads,I want to convert my monkey bike to electric one day
how fast did it go
What battery do recommend?
Everyone going electric ill have your old engines!! I'll take the lot!!
whats the size of back tyre ryan ?
hey ,nice project.What is the max speed of bike?
💪🏻💪🏻
How long the battery go
How you make this dirt bike can you please give a video based how to make this dirt bike in brief plz
mount the motor on the swing arm ,saves so much head aches ,and tossing chains off when hitting jumps
Katie, granted that the weight of the motor isn't that much but that still increases the unsprung weight.
@@isaacmadhavan i agree with you there yes it does,
@@katiekumcgil Glad you do, mate.
i made an off road scooter swing arm design similar ,and when motor was in main body i just keep throwing the chain to often ,when the suspension compressed on jumps,can see what eventually came up with here,made it as compact as could,with limited tools at the time.ruclips.net/video/BOk2VLghv5E/видео.html
That garden is a field
How fast does it go
epic
donde se puede compar la partes ???
I wish I had found this video when my motor was spinning the wrong way but yeah haul sensor and phase wire swaps also not all motors actually colour match either which i learned the hardway 😂
lol i was going to buy that
one
Is there a parts list?
Where can I buy that motor?
I’m also building an electric bike and I also bought a 48v 1800w motor and I was just wondering how fast it goes
If it's to fast or slow just readjust the gearing if you can for top speed or acel but 1800 is decent I guess
Whate are the top speed ?
What’s the top speed? I’m building one
put somr bicycle lights on it for road riding and some foot pegs
Very cool Video. Your Idea is awesome. I might want to built one like you did. Could you send a link from the Parts you have took. #Abo
What bike is that?
So sickk mate, how much did it cost for all the electronic parts motor, battery, etc ?? I'm either building one of these or a pit bike trike not sure yet haven't made my mind up 🤔🧐
All in they cost just under £300, though a more powerful battery will cost a bit more as we had some issues with our one not providing enough power!
What's the top speed ?
@@kierandanks8835 Currently about 25mph, but with the better batter it should be around 35mph. Then with a bigger motor controller I think we can go over 40mph
What are the characteristics of your motor and battery please. Great video !
max speed ?
How fast is it
Sick. You should try a motorised bike kit 50cc. There even better. Such good fun!!! 👍👍
