Sweet video. I love the idea of repurposing ryobi 40v batteries for building sweet rides on a budget. I’m planning on building an electric skateboard with x2 4ah ryobi 40v batteries. I’ve already ordered the battery adapters from eBay. I’ve also watched the video where you upgrade the power wheels too. Great work keep it up.
Great video! Would you be available for technical consulting if I run into a problem? Lol also can you make a recommendation on lithium batteries that would fit inside the compartment?
My motor is a larger after market motor, 350 watt versus 230 watt. I ride my scooter quite often and it's still going strong. Probably have 25 hours on it so far. I'm surprised actually too!
I am building literally the same setup as u are 36v 350w motor and a woostar 36v 800w speed controller with a 40v 4ah 190sum watt ryobi battery. Mine limps and turns off if too much throttle… how did u add another 40v lol i want to add a 18v Milwaukee i got there but is it worth it lol
I just wired them in parallel so the it wasn't too hard on each battery (split the amps between each one). I had to weld that custom battery shelf to fit both batteries.
I really want to do this with a really big motor i have sitting around. But I want to gear it up. I'd it possible to pair two of those esc's together to divide the heat?
Usually the stock speed controller can't handle higher voltages. So it's best to get a speed controller that won't burn up with 40volts. The stock one only handles 12volts.
Also keep in mind the battery is advertised as 40 volts but that is max charge, nominal voltage is 10 18650 in series at 3.6 volts each = a 36 volt battery
Do you think that speed controller in the motor could handle a 56 V battery I’m asking because I had the same set up and I really want to put the 60 the 56 V battery to it
@@Jasonoid I upgraded my speed controller to a 36volt looks like what you have. And my throttle. And I have the motor u have . Then I have two 36 volt hoverboard batteries
You can try to run the stock motor controller on the Ryobi batteries, it might cause issues. The speed controller I put in this scooter was cheap and works awesome, link in the video description!
Depends on how good the batteries are. On two good batteries I've riden over 5 miles and still had battery left. Some of my batteries don't last as long. Also the faster you drive the more battery it uses. Thanks for watching!
@@shdisbsjwvevs the motor linked in the video description was the biggest I could fit by using the stock mounting location. If you want to build a new frame you could put in a bigger motor
Cool build dude, i'm in the process of building my second e-scooter (check out my channel i'd love to see what you think?) i'm thinking of using the drill type battery on my razor e300 and really impressed with how you have done yours, have you done a video on how you did it? out of interest what is the range with the setup you have? I have subscribe.

Good luck on your electric skateboard build! Those have always intrigued me.
Relocating the batteries to the rear helps with the wheelies. Thanks for showing this video.
These batteries give the scooter much more power :) Still working to this day, enjoy riding it all the time.
Since you have all that room left in the battery compartment, what about storage for lunch and a can of soda?
Nice work. I've used ryobi battery's for a few different projects, my crazy cart is my favorite
You got a video of it?
Yeah man, check my channel
How did you hooked the wires to the battery ? And how far it goes in full charge range ?
This is a very good video I love how you explain and then show each step
This was a super fun project, thinking about upgrading it again haha
Great video! Would you be available for technical consulting if I run into a problem? Lol also can you make a recommendation on lithium batteries that would fit inside the compartment?
You needs a parts list for this lmao
Looks like an two outboard motors on the back.. good for puddles
Haha, it does look like that!
I did an over-volt with 36v using lithium and burned my motor out and a few uses. I can’t imagine yours will last any longer than mine at 40v.
My motor is a larger after market motor, 350 watt versus 230 watt. I ride my scooter quite often and it's still going strong. Probably have 25 hours on it so far. I'm surprised actually too!
Mine is an E300 with a 350w that burned. Just bought a 500w and hope it holds better than the last one. Nice set up though, good luck.
Thats syipid....adding to the list ....all the work and time buying a new one its 100% better
This video is super old, was published before newer electric scooters were becoming popular LOL
So what's the run time and or mileage per charge?
? speed top and top distance anyone?
That’s dope
Europe is going to get the Ryobi "HYPER CHARGER".
It would charge your Huge Batteries in Half the Time 👍
You mounted the motor under the bar and stock is above.
Could you make a video on how to connect the external batterys?
I just wired red to red and black to black. No too difficult.
@@Jasonoid ohh ok easy thanks! Just new to this stuff
@@adonis4034 the motor speed controller will have a battery input set of wire, red and black. Hook them right to that.
@@Jasonoid So you connected the batteries in parallel I assume? Outputting 40V?
Yeah, wanted to double the range
I GOT AN E100 WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST. GREAT VIDEO
I'd start with a battery upgrade first! You'll see a pretty good improvement with that!
I’m gonna put a 50cc 2 stroke motor on mine because it is only $60 and it has a clutch
That's sweet! That will be fun project!
I got the 250 one I'm bout to rebuild it
how about the mount
I am building literally the same setup as u are 36v 350w motor and a woostar 36v 800w speed controller with a 40v 4ah 190sum watt ryobi battery. Mine limps and turns off if too much throttle… how did u add another 40v lol i want to add a 18v Milwaukee i got there but is it worth it lol
I just wired them in parallel so the it wasn't too hard on each battery (split the amps between each one). I had to weld that custom battery shelf to fit both batteries.
Can you do this to mines?
I have razor e 300 1 20 volt battery for backup
Can I use just 1 battery
Yeah, that would be fine. The more amp hours the battery has the longer the runtime. 2ah vs 4ah v 6ah
I really want to do this with a really big motor i have sitting around. But I want to gear it up. I'd it possible to pair two of those esc's together to divide the heat?
I dont think that would work, you could just buy a bigger ESC, they have large high quality ones now. They are expensive though.
Can you just replace the motor and batteries and not the speed controller or will it not work?
Usually the stock speed controller can't handle higher voltages. So it's best to get a speed controller that won't burn up with 40volts. The stock one only handles 12volts.
Could I do this to a 2000's E90?
Yeah, should be a similar process
@@Jasonoid Alrighty, thank you!
The motor you link to is rated at 24v, but it can handle 40v?
It's been working fine for me for over a year.... Or whenever this video was made. Fun upgrade!
@@Jasonoid Thanks Man! My 10 year old son is going to love this !
Also keep in mind the battery is advertised as 40 volts but that is max charge, nominal voltage is 10 18650 in series at 3.6 volts each = a 36 volt battery
Was it not possible to fit adapter and battery in compartment?
Not these batteries, but there are many batteries that would. I just wanted to use what I had laying around already.
Is that an 80volt
I wired them in parallel so it's 40v with double capacity. If I wired them in series it would be 80v.
I just did the same thing but with only one battery. I’m having trouble, when I hit full power it’s shutting down... any ideas ?
Hey did you ever happen to figure this out? I connected mine w one battery and it won't start at all....same set up as video
You need two
Could anyone help me I'm looking for this battery set up I know it been long time
What do you need to know about the batteries? They are Ryobi 40v batteries.
Do you think that speed controller in the motor could handle a 56 V battery I’m asking because I had the same set up and I really want to put the 60 the 56 V battery to it
The stock speed controller, no. They have so many replacements/upgrades online available. Maybe the motor can but probably not.
@@Jasonoid I upgraded my speed controller to a 36volt looks like what you have. And my throttle. And I have the motor u have . Then I have two 36 volt hoverboard batteries
@@jeremyoshea7941 the upgraded motor should do better with the higher voltage.
Question if I got the Ryobi batteries would I have to upgrade the control board or can I pass with just the battery upgrade or will that short it out
You can try to run the stock motor controller on the Ryobi batteries, it might cause issues. The speed controller I put in this scooter was cheap and works awesome, link in the video description!
Tbh it doesn’t look any faster lol
11mph to 21mph, just a little faster lol
@@Jasonoid oh
So are the batteries holding up good
Been great so far. I don't ride it everyday, but I still ride it quite a bit.
Want more to fix go-to batteriehookup.com 6bucks a pop 40v
They work well. These batteries can take 1500-2000 cycles!
how long can you ride until you gotta recharge?
Depends on how good the batteries are. On two good batteries I've riden over 5 miles and still had battery left. Some of my batteries don't last as long. Also the faster you drive the more battery it uses. Thanks for watching!
Does it have to be the e200 or can it be other types of razer scooters
E300 and E200 have the same frame, just smaller tires on the E200. Those are the only ones that will fit the larger motor.
Jasonoid ok thank you
One more question are there bigger motors I can put in mine?
@@shdisbsjwvevs the motor linked in the video description was the biggest I could fit by using the stock mounting location. If you want to build a new frame you could put in a bigger motor
Jasonoid ok thank you so much.
