Originally, the motor is wired in Star configuration. If you rewire it from star to delta, the motor will spin from the original 700 rpm to even 1200 rpm ! That means you'll gain a lot more speed.
Lets assume you don't live in a very dry country and the drive wheel and tire get wet. Lets say you're Skimming to work and you tyre goes through a splash of oil of another car and you're 7 hours late to work due to drive slippage? A Design that needs some Design.
Great subject. I think you need to add a splashback above the wheel (to avoid water splashing against your coat and to avoid something above it can hit the wheel) and a spring/tension system that follows the surface of the wheel. The spring/tension system could also you enable to temprorarily disable the wheel (take off in pause position). This idea is actually something like a Berini (1949) or Solex (1946) with a clip-on motor/engine.
Good thing about this idea is that it is completely reversible and the bike doesn't have to be altered. More manufacturers should be providing solutions like this.
you should be able to done this using arduino, motor driver, and reverse the enable pin, but i don't know in 3 phase motor, should be the same principal and should be able But why you need reverse in bicycle?
What watt size are the motors I have two smart st zing hover boards what range will the battery give and speed please I now you could have a bigger amp battery but this looks ideal for a trip around a town and light if added to a cheap fold up bike to carry in a camper van
Best part, non destructive solution. Worst part, needs an anti-"Isadora Duncan" shield. I like the attention to neat minimalist construction. A lot of videos have rusty half-assery and motors that won't run very long before they fail.
I built this over the summer for my kids. I didn't know someone else was building the same thing. I like your design better because it's more adjustable. Btw, the motor can handle 500w.
i love all the manufacturing of the brackets just to mount it on a 30 dollar 50 year old worn out aluminum frame, and then have hella loose clothing by the drive train haha. *not to in any way lesson your build. You got er done and made a video about it! Thank you for posting this you mad lad!!
What a totally interesting and unique build! It kind of reminds me of the old tire driven bike lights we had back in the day. It sat on the fork or tail and was a spring loaded device you could move out of the way in the daytime. But then flip it onto the wheel at night. And it was just a textured small metal wheel, that used the spin of the tire to spin itself as it rubbed on it and generated power to the generator it was attached to on your fork or tail. No batteries, just pedal/tire powered. I had my doubts about how fast it would go, or how well it would work, based on when you fired it up in the shop, upside down. It looked like there might be a loss of traction between the two wheels. But I see how your logic worked there. Once it's upright and your weight is on it, there's going to be flex in the frame and it will make the two meet perfectly. Good thinking, because had you mounted it closer, there might be too much contact and friction/resistance and reverse torque. Once you were riding it, you could see there was absolutely no loss of friction between the two wheels and perfect contact and minimal over friction and reverse torque. Just enough to drive the wheel forward solidly and it looked like any other front or rear hub or mid drive ebike. Bravo! So easy to replace too now that the bracket is built.
@@hillppari Yeah, I just saw the old school light dynamo devices still being sold. I guess with the resurgence in vintage stuff, including vintage bikes, they saw a market for some nice chrome classic styled bike lights, driven the classic way. They are mighty sharp looking too, very much suitable for a 1950's/'60s themed bike and is styled after the old school car headlights.
@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Reverse torque (or friction) happens in all electric motors. It's a side effect of spinning against something and seperate from regular friction, but related. Like even the parts of the motor and fighting against itself, not necessarily an external force (although it happens with or without load). Bearings, for all that they smooth friction and movement, cause a slight resistance of their own in the motor. The shaft and the brushes rubbing against the commutator etc. That's back torque, or reverse friction/torque. The magnets in the motor also contribute to it. Additional force, against the motor basically, that friction from elsewhere cannot fully account/isn't responsble for. Slight usually, but they all add up. The idea for generators which eliminate this, is highly sought after for generators that can generate more power than you put in. The quest for perpetual motion machines, we've been chasing for centuries, that's what it's related to. Mind you, not really full perpetual motion, we've given up on that, but close to it, getting way energy out than you put in, no losses=super efficiency. And it looks like India, not long ago, created the first generator/motor, that is so smooth, it's frictionless and eliminates all back torque too (back torque was the final hurdle). The ultimate in efficiency. So reverse torque is a problem, as you can see, in that kind of situation. It's just not one you hear mentioned a lot, because unless you are creating the most efficient motor ever made, we just apply more power to the motor and power past it. It is frequently an ignored metric, except in situations of extreme efficiency. It's most noticed and an issue when dealing with efficiency. The most efficient motor (like what India just invented), would be one with no losses, one which eliminates this hurdle and apparently, they have. It would literally have to be the smoothest motor on earth really.
@@hillppari In the UK Dynamos are banned i think because they dont work when the bike is stopped at traffic lights or junctions...but they were clever little devices when i was young :)
U can do the same thing with just 2 bits of roughly guesing 40x40 timber screwrd to each other on the back and front frame with a wheel hole pushing the motorised wheels down.
Cool video...I would like to add this to my existing diy electric bicycle to get more speed ? I have a brushed motor with chain mounted on the rear tire...could I use my old Segway brushless wheel motor on the front wheel of my bicycle ?
I built the same last year with a 350w hoverboard motor, but forget the hoverboard batteries that only has 4400 mAh at most, and low discharge capacity cells (few km and power!), and the friction is much better on a city tire. but the most important thing is the controller 36-48v, how many amps it provides because the formula is 36v X number Amps (let's say 20 amps) = 720w at peak (it can be easily handled by a 350w motor), so choose the right one!
@@sirepanfried8641 gracias por la réplica, me refiero a sistema ya usado hace décadas, dónde se solo aplica presión al motor, sobre el neumático cuando queremos transmisión -empuje- liberando al llegar a tope RPM del motor, alcanzar velocidad crucero, o tener pendiente negativa (bajada)...

Red and black on your controller is the power. For rest all colors should match the motor and the controller. Blue green yellow to power the motor and 5 wires going to the hall sensor
Todo muy bello y la ventilación para el controlador, al final también se ve q le falta protección a la rueda de impulso, ya que su ropa queda muy cerca de ella y punto extra, por la tracción entre ruedas no desgasta prematuramente al neumático de la bicicleta? Gracias.
Solid and simple! I wonder how many amps and volts these hoverboard motors can take I'm going to say around 20a at 52v around 1000w or drill some holes in it and add cooling fluid to the magnets and it might be able to handle 2-3KW.
Nice job! A few thoughts/questions: 1 - Hoverboards usually have two motors... would that make sense here? The design would get more complex, but I wonder if we'd get more speed or if it would need synchronization as they might not necessarily run at the same speed? Probably not more range as that's more dependent on battery capacity than anything else. 2 - Have you looked at using the hoverboard controller board itself instead of a separate one? I've seen a few hacks to use arduinos... I might go that path... any tips? 3 - Would having a spring applying constant pressure be preferred than a fixed position? Not sure if that would be worse or better for the grip.
1 - Two motors would double the torque but not the speed. The complexity and the (slightly) reduced range (assuming that 2 motors would be limited to half the wattage of the single one) would not be suitable for street use. Maybe only for very powerful motors or offroad use. 2 - Probably the original controller wouldn't survive 48V battery and so you would get less watt output (maybe too low to be used as ebike motor but i don't know). 3 - Not my competence area, sorry!
Cool. That's by far the best of the friction drive systems, excepting for maybe a quick release. It's the only system that provides adequate gearing for a hill and for the motor to run cool. You might run 72 volt for 40mph without issue. Also the simplicity of drive train is excellent and looks durable as hell. Q's? Did your electronics get hot in the bag? What's spec motor / battery would you pick if you could pick anything?
I tried friction drive and its not that good. Burns your tire when uphill and works veeery bad after rain. Now i wanna try with chain. I put 44 teeth gear on rear wheel and need to find out some small sprocket on the motor. It might work with ratio 44 to ~10. Will see
Hello my friend, I'm from Brazil, I liked this project of your electric bicycle very good, would you be able to provide me with the measurements that you used to manufacture the support that you made to hold the motor?
Hi. I'm thinking to use the axle of the escooter wheel to be assembled in the left pedal axle and the other pedsl still has gears. Would that be possible to put together? Of course, locking the outer diameter of the escooter wheel would be necessary for it to work
That will not work because the wires are ran through the axle. So if you lock te outside, the axle will spin and will wind up the wires. Good luck with your build!
they are very powerful motors, usually dual 350W, they just reduce the speed so people dont get killed on them. You can over run them quite a bit without damage, most can handle 500W punch and then coast at 350W.
So how long does the rear Tyre last like this ?, and do you have to adjust it down as the Tyre wears or do you have it pressing down more into the Tyre?, also I would put a guard over it because it's a terrible nip point just waiting to happen 👀, but great idea nonetheless if the Tyre and motor lasts ok 👍
Nicely done... Now put a small ICE on it and make it a hybrid that recharges the battery using the same friction wheel as a generator while under gas power effectively giving you an almost infinite range
Just got done building something like this. I used a spring to pull it down. It... moves. I guess. The lack of friction is a huge bottleneck. I got some snow on my tire and now it slips so bad it's almost useless. And it's -13 C out right now so... that won't be going away any time soon. I hate this city's weather.
I order the BLDC and Bag My friend has a hoverboard ,the only thing i will be missing is the Arm that you build for the Hoverboard wheel , that goes behind the rear tire ...but im building it! inspire on your tutorial...thanks a lot...
That was amazing. I road past a broken down scooter the other night getting off work, and was too tired to take it home and try that move. LOL I wish i would have seen this clip first but i,ll run across another one, and I would have tried it to make it with wood being the black Mygyever that i am I mite have pulled it off (probably only temporarily or need to be serviced regularly). GOOD JOB. I,m impressed.
I take it you're driving it with a much higher voltage than the hoverboard did to get those speeds. How well does the motor stay cool under the increased power?
The only problem I see in this build is that it's rather non-adjustable. If ridden enough, eventually, you'll have to replace that back tire. You're just gonna have to cross your fingers and hope that the new tire's dimensions exactly match the old one. Great build just the same mate.
Класс! Плюс такого устройства- этотуниверсальность без каких либо изменений в конструкции велосипеда. Минус- в дождь, естественно ездить не будешь, но после дождя, по лужам?

How does the wiring work from motor to controller? Would have been nice to include how you wired the motor mate do you have a video showing that ? but great idea cheers
GREAT! Next, make it liftable from the wheel, so you're not turning the motor when you're pedaling. And make it a generator when you're going down a hill, so it charges your battery :)
Slide too far back on that seat, and Wipe Out! in every sense of the term. But seriously make it spring adjustable and you can sell the kit, or at least the basic part some of us don't have the equipment to build. Great idea, I had no Idea it would move that fast. Will it take off from a standstill with no peddling?
Hello, hope you don't mind me asking, but can you pedal without the motor being on too? I am trying to understand if it allows the motor to help only when needed, or if its needed all the time. Thanks!
Excelente idea, y ya he comprado todo para hacerlo, pero al conectar motor a controladora y encenderlo, aunque si funciona me da error 07 y no logro hacerlo desaparecer... Alguna ayuda??? Gracias y un saludo
I already had this problem too and if I remember well I had the hall sensor wires mixed up. You could also try the learn function to put the motor in reverse and back forward. This has solved errors for me too.
What will u need ?, How much will it cost to do as u did and or can u do the same but cheaper? And how long does the battery last or how long will it last per ride?
heyy..good job.. i want to build the same thing so i would like some questions such as ..can you padal the same time the motor is engaged or you have to disengage the motor.. can you help ??
instead of having the wheel ontop of the frame could you have put the drive wheel under the bit of the frame? then you could run 2 pieces of metal on either side of the wheel and an axel through them and it would be less dangerous, as it would be surrounded above and the sides by the frame
Great video! Love how simple this is with just a hoverboard. What would you say the major downsides of this design are? Ive seen people talking about tire slip, and the exposed wheel. Are there other issues that youve encountered?
@@hennybutabivery cool. I wonder what would happen if you had a mountain bike tire with really large treads, and then 3d printed out a tire for the hoverboard with flexible filament that had an interlocking tread that matched the bikes. Ive seen some pretty tough 3d tires, but still i wonder if they would just get shredded or what would happen when they arent perfectly aligned.
@@HavokBWR too much friction in such a system i think, plus getting 3d printd things that narrow would make their strength diminish. tread blocks have a fairly narrow spacing, the tire he has on there is a pretty "mountainy" tire.
Maybe you could put a second one as the center of the back wheel, when the top one finally accelerates you so the center motor doesn't stall, you can get a higher top speed
I remember seeing a different channel do this, it is actually a better idea but you have to redesign the hoverboard motor to have two sides coming out of it and also you need to get rid of the bearing that's usually there, shorten the length of the metal wires thingys going to the middle and if you can do all that, you will have a better more efficient motor!
With the ratio of about 4:1 the speed of the hoverboard should have been 4 times of the bicycle, in order words, about 100 km/h what's the RPM of the wheel?
Adding mine to Scwinn Beach Cruiser. Found 2 hoverboards on trash pile. One had battery. Part I'm confused on is where does the hall get connected to ?
@@hennybutabi Ok Thank you. I have done rC brushless, i was having a Senior moment thinking about the project. Looking for a cheap welder to make my mount. 3d printed 1 inch tubing to do a mock up. The Beach Cruiser is a PITA to design mount for. Mountain bike would have been easier in some respects.
I love the ingenuity of this conversation kit build however considering the various power tools needed, if you account for the cost of those and the cheap parts for this particular conversion kit, it’s not exactly cheap
That is true, but you can make a bracket relatively cheap using angle aluminum and bolts. You can get this build off the ground with a power drill and a metal blade saw. That being said, there are some very cheap ebikes out there, I recently bought a jetson bolt pro for $220, cant beat that for a fully built e bike, batteries, etc. If you add the controller in here, time, the bike, you can probably get a used ebike for a lot less work.
0:27 You did not share the link of the products you showed at the 27th second. 0:37 You only shared the link of the products in the 37th second and the link of the bag.
Yes i've seen something like this idea on youtube on ebike review the one I saw has a small motor compact handcarry detachable with Battery all in one piece and actually this idea was already a vintage technology I saw a video of a Gas motorcycle with an incorporate motor drive attached on the back frame close to the wheel similar to that hover board position, but the drawback would be scraping your exterior same as this one

@@oneeyedrone4293 Isn't this controller already doing that? 40v x 18a = 720 watt. That is, if the controller info is true.
So how long does the rear Tyre last like this ?, and do you have to adjust it down as the Tyre wears or do you have it pressing down more into the Tyre?, also I would put a guard over it because it's a terrible nip point just waiting to happen 👀, but great idea nonetheless if the Tyre and motor lasts ok 👍
Nicely done...
Now put a small ICE on it and make it a hybrid that recharges the battery using the same friction wheel as a generator while under gas power effectively giving you an almost infinite range
Just got done building something like this. I used a spring to pull it down. It... moves. I guess. The lack of friction is a huge bottleneck. I got some snow on my tire and now it slips so bad it's almost useless. And it's -13 C out right now so... that won't be going away any time soon.
I hate this city's weather.
that's a shame
I order the BLDC and Bag My friend has a hoverboard ,the only thing i will be missing is the Arm that you build for the Hoverboard wheel , that goes behind the rear tire ...but im building it! inspire on your tutorial...thanks a lot...
That was amazing. I road past a broken down scooter the other night getting off work, and was too tired to take it home and try that move. LOL I wish i would have seen this clip first but i,ll run across another one, and I would have tried it to make it with wood being the black Mygyever that i am I mite have pulled it off (probably only temporarily or need to be serviced regularly). GOOD JOB. I,m impressed.
Does it charge the battery when you pedal or coast?
Would it be easy to replace that hover board wheel with a sprocket/gear?
I take it you're driving it with a much higher voltage than the hoverboard did to get those speeds.
How well does the motor stay cool under the increased power?
It's also the small drive wheel paired with a much larger driven wheel.
The only problem I see in this build is that it's rather non-adjustable. If ridden enough, eventually, you'll have to replace that back tire. You're just gonna have to cross your fingers and hope that the new tire's dimensions exactly match the old one. Great build just the same mate.
Loosen the bolts maybe lol
Thanks! Henny
could you give this braket sketch open?
Thanks for sharing, i'll try to upgrade this project to be able withstand light rain
De todos los videos que vi, éste es el más práctico, gracias por tu video, haré exactamente lo mismo. Saludos . ( Like y me suscribí )
Super nice, thanks for sharing, I'm building one. Cheers.
did it go well?
@@rocco-s-107 yes, but it was stolen.
@3:10 Butta' Finga's!! 😁 You are an AWESOME Craftsman!!🙂
this is acctualy really smart
Nice job. How many miles do you get on a full battery charge?
Класс!
Плюс такого устройства- этотуниверсальность без каких либо изменений в конструкции велосипеда. Минус- в дождь, естественно ездить не будешь, но после дождя, по лужам? Как будет зацеп с мокрыми колесами, ну и брызги будут просто фонтаном во все стороны.
Но в любом случае, автору огромный ЛАЙК!
Hello, I would put the battery separate from the control unit, since batteries do not like heat
Use a Heat Insulation.
Goo job,at the moment,I am making an electric bike,I am using an overboard too
Greetings from Buenos Aires
amazing ,only how did you made the wiring from the hoverboard at 9:54 wheel longer
How does the wiring work from motor to controller? Would have been nice to include how you wired the motor mate do you have a video showing that ? but great idea cheers
It's not that hard, just match the 3 wires by color from the motor to the controller and also the 5 hall sensor wires and it should work.
@hennybutabi Cheers mate thanks for your reply much appreciated 👍
GREAT! Next, make it liftable from the wheel, so you're not turning the motor when you're pedaling. And make it a generator when you're going down a hill, so it charges your battery :)
Slide too far back on that seat, and Wipe Out! in every sense of the term.
But seriously make it spring adjustable and you can sell the kit, or at least the basic part some of us don't have the equipment to build. Great idea, I had no Idea it would move that fast. Will it take off from a standstill with no peddling?
Great concept,now next to try it on a fat bike .,stay safe
I wasn't going to sub to any more channels, because I have so many. I couldn't resist one more. You're Welcome. 😃
Выглядит интересно...на сколько км , в среднем, хватает зарядки?
Hello, hope you don't mind me asking, but can you pedal without the motor being on too? I am trying to understand if it allows the motor to help only when needed, or if its needed all the time. Thanks!
Yes you could but it's a little bit heavier than normal because you have to drag the motor along.
Intresting video!
Excelente idea, y ya he comprado todo para hacerlo, pero al conectar motor a controladora y encenderlo, aunque si funciona me da error 07 y no logro hacerlo desaparecer... Alguna ayuda???
Gracias y un saludo
I already had this problem too and if I remember well I had the hall sensor wires mixed up. You could also try the learn function to put the motor in reverse and back forward. This has solved errors for me too.
One Smart Man :) Thumbs Up to you
Best idea best video for ever!
I plan on doing that , but with a motor on the front wheel too . Build a pack to put on frame 😊
I build same idea 😃 I have on my channel I have build so many models of those different motors. Of friction drives its cool I like it
Is it better if you have the option to lift the small wheel so that when the battery is low you can use the bike normally
Very cool project. Inspiring me to do something similar.
EV Innovation Love it ❤
dont the speed controller have a speed dial connector on it probley rig a speed switch on it
Leuk ding zo Hendrik!
En je werkplaats is gigantisch opgeknapt zo👌🏻 logo op de muur, netjes👌🏻
My wheel I took of hover board has green green connectors on ..is both wheels motors or the one battery side
what happened when tyre get old?
And in wet road, there is a high chance your motor get splash by water
Great job mate, just hope it doesn't rain as your rear is going to get pritty wet.
What will u need ?, How much will it cost to do as u did and or can u do the same but cheaper? And how long does the battery last or how long will it last per ride?
Uff bro, si esto es lo "fácil" no me quiero imaginar cómo es lo difícil 🥲
heyy..good job..
i want to build the same thing so i would like some questions such as ..can you padal the same time the motor is engaged or you have to disengage the motor..
can you help ??
You can pedal but it's heavier than a normal bike.
instead of having the wheel ontop of the frame could you have put the drive wheel under the bit of the frame? then you could run 2 pieces of metal on either side of the wheel and an axel through them and it would be less dangerous, as it would be surrounded above and the sides by the frame
How to recharge the battery?
I just plug it in directly in the hoverboard charger
Just found a hoverboard on the verge collection. doesn’t work gonna get a controller and a throttle hope it works
la llanta no se gasta mas rapido de esa manera?
Allsome work guys from cruzermans inventions 😄👍🥳😸
Great video! Love how simple this is with just a hoverboard. What would you say the major downsides of this design are? Ive seen people talking about tire slip, and the exposed wheel. Are there other issues that youve encountered?
Not really. Only when it is wet, the motor has almost no grip at all. Apart from that no complaints😏
@@hennybutabivery cool. I wonder what would happen if you had a mountain bike tire with really large treads, and then 3d printed out a tire for the hoverboard with flexible filament that had an interlocking tread that matched the bikes. Ive seen some pretty tough 3d tires, but still i wonder if they would just get shredded or what would happen when they arent perfectly aligned.
@@HavokBWR too much friction in such a system i think, plus getting 3d printd things that narrow would make their strength diminish. tread blocks have a fairly narrow spacing, the tire he has on there is a pretty "mountainy" tire.
Noisy
@@HavokBWR That's a big piece to print. Have you printed flexible filament ?
Amazing idea, how is the bike doing if you go uphill?
Not so good😏. You have to use the pedals because the motor isn't very powerful
How fast does it go can you do 30 mph
I was wondering if you could help me determine a hoverboard's motor's sensor wires in correlation with the controller I have?
Nice i have broken hoverboard so need another battery and controller, want to do that to my son bike. But how to make the stand without welding 😢.
You could try to bolt something together with L brackets
Maybe you could put a second one as the center of the back wheel, when the top one finally accelerates you so the center motor doesn't stall, you can get a higher top speed
I remember seeing a different channel do this, it is actually a better idea but you have to redesign the hoverboard motor to have two sides coming out of it and also you need to get rid of the bearing that's usually there, shorten the length of the metal wires thingys going to the middle and if you can do all that, you will have a better more efficient motor!
With the ratio of about 4:1 the speed of the hoverboard should have been 4 times of the bicycle, in order words, about 100 km/h what's the RPM of the wheel?
Adding mine to Scwinn Beach Cruiser. Found 2 hoverboards on trash pile. One had battery. Part I'm confused on is where does the hall get connected to ?
The motor has 5 hall wires, just connect them to the hall connector on the controller
@@hennybutabi Ok Thank you. I have done rC brushless, i was having a Senior moment thinking about the project. Looking for a cheap welder to make my mount. 3d printed 1 inch tubing to do a mock up. The Beach Cruiser is a PITA to design mount for. Mountain bike would have been easier in some respects.
Plz 🙏 how do u charge battery 🔋
I wire it directly to the hoverboard charger
Ok I threw mine away I can buy the connection can't i
I love the ingenuity of this conversation kit build however considering the various power tools needed, if you account for the cost of those and the cheap parts for this particular conversion kit, it’s not exactly cheap
If you dont have tools you can not build anything
That is true, but you can make a bracket relatively cheap using angle aluminum and bolts. You can get this build off the ground with a power drill and a metal blade saw.
That being said, there are some very cheap ebikes out there, I recently bought a jetson bolt pro for $220, cant beat that for a fully built e bike, batteries, etc.
If you add the controller in here, time, the bike, you can probably get a used ebike for a lot less work.
0:27 You did not share the link of the products you showed at the 27th second.
0:37 You only shared the link of the products in the 37th second and the link of the bag.
What if you made the hoverboard wheel the sprocket
❤ 👍 clean install ❤
I thought about doing something like this with hoverboard parts. I might do it now.
Yes i've seen something like this idea on youtube on ebike review the one I saw has a small motor compact handcarry detachable with Battery all in one piece and actually this idea was already a vintage technology I saw a video of a Gas motorcycle with an incorporate motor drive attached on the back frame close to the wheel similar to that hover board position, but the drawback would be scraping your exterior same as this one
