MOTOR SPOKE HOLE SPACING TEMPLATE - ibb.co/MkggVcL - I found my original template and as many viewers have asked for this I have uploaded it. Please like and subscribe if you find this useful 👍
is that for a 26 inch rim? and are you using the same spokes that were on the wheel or a different size?
@@smallfeetmcgee Yes 26inch rim, and yes same spokes that were on the original wheel 👍
@@robmakes8824 thank you :)
and also are you using a 2.5 or 3mm drill bit to make the spoke holes? can I get away with 3mm? lol
@@smallfeetmcgee I do not remember what drill bit size was used. What ever size the spokes will fit through I guess 👍
This is the best video on hoverboard ebike ever, waited a long time for something like this. I started with one motor in the front, but then I wanted two motors and then things didnt go as planned. But bought two 1500w controllers, just need a battery but this project has taken a long time now.
@@adelasa689 True, but I just want to try for fun even if it was slot of work. And I won't make full throttle most likely. I saw one guy having 3 motors and each had 120v 1500w co trollers, and it worked perfectly with insane speed. But he put the motors one the tire, so that the hoverboard would run like 12" wheel.
But thanks for warning me and other:) would love to see what your bikke looks like
@@trymhammerstrmgisiger1278 yes exactly.... the motor should be mounted as if it s directly on ground.... one way to to that is, like you said, put motor on the wheel... on top of it so that it drives it by friction ... thats how i did it.... also... i made it so it can be unmounted easily... no welding between mount and bike frame... it s bolted to rear axel...
@@adelasa689 Nice. There is no way back for me but I will try anyway with the new controller
@@trymhammerstrmgisiger1278 why 1500w the motors are only 350w
@@jamesdellaquila1939 These motors can take that power for a very short period. Most electric motors can run at more watts than they are rated for
I have a question...how about drill batteries is it fit also for bms you made?
Drill batteries could be used but would have to be wired correctly 👍
now heres a question. Ive seen that you can also use one of these motors as an alternator. If the front tire was set as an alternator instead of a power drive, would it develop enough charge to continue charging the battery enough to keep riding with the rear set as a drive motor?
no, you would only kill the batteries much faster.
Man I also have questions about the project but the youtuber isn't responding, I suggest making a forum or anything similar so that everyone gets answers for his questions if anyone knows it
Hi Rob,great project , thanks for sharing it with us.
I myself am midway through my homemade ebike project,incorporating my old Beko washing machine motor which I have running on a Lion 36v DC battery pack.
I WILL upload a video of the finished product in a few weeks,as I have other domestic duties which need taking care of first.
Please keep up posting new videos of your future projects,and I am sure you will gain plenty more subscribers.
All the best.
Hi Davey, I love those washer motor builds! Did you have to re-wind your motor?
@@maukaman Hi Eric.
I just rewired it.There is a video on RUclips to show you how .
New videos on the way 👍
I reused the original controller and replaced the firmware to Save money and it works perfectly, thanks also for the amazing video👍
I have no engineer or electronics training
Never worked in a workshop before.
And I've built some good ebikes & E-scooter out of scrap parts.
For next to Nothing
There's people on RUclips who called themself professional E-bike builders 🤣.
And they haven't got a clue
All they know is to put a plug and play kit together.
Which anyone can do
And they charge £800 for 1-hour for non skilled work.
And the buyers are very happy with that.
Just made a couple of motors based on your design, great idea using those hollow axles for the wiring (although in my case I drilled all the way through the motor axle and welded the hollow axle in place, then drilled a hole in the side for the wires to go through. I just need to work out how to thread the spokes onto the wheel rim without it going wonky lol.
Nice job, what speed do you get with your bike ?
I believe 25mph would be the top speed 👍
That's a really neat build. I'd like to do a cruiser style with a teardrop fuel tank for the electronics.
Are you using a 36" bicycle or 24" are you using 20" spoke or 24" spokes ?
How can I open the hoverboard motor? After I unscrewed the 6 screws it is still stuck. It seems there is something else to release
There are many strong magnets holding the motor center in place. Some force is required to separate the center from the motor. Care must be taken not to damage the motor 👍
Nice job. I used an car alternator with the pulley pressing down on the front tyre and this works well, providing plenty of range and around 20MPH. But its heavy, needs a split supply 12 +36 and doesn't look anything like as slick as yours. Food for thought...hmmm. Thanks for fresh inspiration.
Ya got me thinking now lol.. 🤔 Is it too far fetched to generate 12v with the pedal power to keep the alternator's coils powered?
@@apparentlynot1stLeonchubbs I can't see why not, don't forget though there's no such thing as free energy so anything ypu produce in terms of current is just a conversion from physical energy.
the intro music killed me
I’m too broke right now to afford welding materials and drills. Great video though
wear do you leave
You can get welder for 60 bucks
how many kilometers can you drive with one battery?
I have not carried out a range test yet 👍
Es un gran video un joya

Excelente video amigo muchas gracias y la plantilla la descargo y enque tamaño la imprimo ???
We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
hey, I am also working on my DIY hoverboard motor e-bike but I can't get the calculation for spokes holes for the motor flange, as I saw that you did an amazing job so I thought that if you could help me this problem i.e. if you could give some exact calculation for drilling spokes holes that would be great!
Unfortunately i did not write down my calculations. A spoke calculator (you can find in these on the internet) will tell you 👍
Guys I've made a facebook page for ebike makers to help each other, for anyone having any question pls go to the facebook page and post your question if it didin't exist, then me and other ebike makers will answer your question in the comments with recommendations and guidance ...etc
and if you are a professional that had this project before pls help newbies get better and get their projects done:

Hi!
Thank you for the video. We want to build an e-bike on to fatbike chassis. We want to use 48v 500w controllers on 36v 300w hoverboard motors. In our city there are lot's of steep roads with %15-17 slope. We need to climb them with minimal affort. I am 105kg by the way? What do you think is it possible?
Lastly we want to protect the old gears (the bike is 21 speed). Do you think that is possible? Or useful when pedalling?
elegancko :) super
I need a scrap hoverboard,Is there someone courier me ?? It is absolutely impossible to find where I live
Where u from?
Amazing skills man! Hat's off. A great way to repurpose the motors.
300th
So much attention to detail.Thanks for sharing this video.Really amazing job.I have been waiting for this kind of project.
Hola,muy buen video.
Yo puse el motor delantero pero no tiene fuerza para subir ninguna subida y tengo que pedalear.
Con 2 motores subiría las cuestas sin pedalear?
Gracias
los motores de hoverboard no tienen buena fuerza de subida, te diría que ni de arranque, es mas para tramos rectos usar estos motores adaptados
Brilliant, I love using hoverboard hubs on my mobility scooter rebuilds, envious of your battery build, I still use lead acid
Por donde compro el controlador?
The controllers were purchased on eBay but they are no longer available from the seller.
I want do the same but with a 2800w scooter motor viper dual motor 5600w
how did he make the surface of motor smooth?
@@Rusty_Harsh I used an angle grinder and cutting disc to start with, followed by a sanding disc 👍
@@robmakes8824 thanks for that
laptop batteries are Not high drain and will fail on a high current draw situation, better to find a battery (s) from a power tool as they Are meant for high drain applications, example is a laptop or say or other low draw applications average around a 5 Amp high drain whereas power tools are more in the range of 25 - 35 Amp high drain, the lower ones will burn out the safety fuse in the battery. Also why not use the hoover board's built in BMS and controller board? it has most if not all you need to make one even cheaper, convert the position sensors to switches, etc ?
If you put more in series you get a greater amperage output so 10s5p should be good. Am i right?
I'm a scrapper and I have to convince myself to leave the beautiful copper there... But I'm trying to build the same thing because I don't have a truck, I got a bike and a trailer I built but it's getting heavy so a motor is going to help a lot
Very good your project, congratulations. Did you know you can use the HoverBoard controller? just it needs an firmware uograde to conect the throttle. I big regards from Argentina
I've made a facebook page for this video if you can pls write a post about how to do that as I couldn't figure it out, and need your help in that idea, if you are interested I can make you admin for the page, page link:

Cual es la medida de cada agujero en la distribución de los 18 radios?
La vitesse maximale dans ce processus précis ne dépassera pas 30 kilomètres par heure, frère, ne mentez pas aux gens. Je l'ai appliqué deux ans avant toi de la même manière . Vous pouvez combiner les deux moteurs ensemble dans un plat circulaire enchaîné avec pieds .Et contrôlez électriquement les vitesses, ainsi que le changement de vitesses arrière du vélo
Who can explain me how to do the power splitter with xt60 conectors whithout die in the process, pls
Why not using the original controller from the hoverboard ???
@@HimaLoubi This is also an option 👍
@RobMakes
I have a few questions if anyone can answer them pls: -
1.5:02 How can I get this holed bike spindle?
2. 9:36 are these torque arms necessary? or what are they for even?
Man answer them for me and I promise I will subscribe
Bike wheels with a quick release mechanism will have this kind of holed spindle. I feel the torque arms are necessary - they stop the motors from spinning internally rather than externally 👍
What is the top speed
Top speed is roughly 40km/h 👍
How about teaching me how to convert my all-terrain knee scooter into a just-my-size electric mobility scooter that I can afford. Please.
I could help send me an email Danielb408@outlook.com
Que rin es ese 26? O 24?
26 👍
Speed?
Man, you are amazing
Yo could you like make that template for the holes in the hub motor downloadable or something?
Yes 👍 Please see my pinned comment.
Very useful video.
Underrated channal.😪
You can use both batteries with one bms just do 1 pack (with 4 batteries 3.7)
As long as the BMS used can handle the amp's, then yes 👍
Where did you learn all the electrical engineering from? School or just self taught? I understand petrol engine completely but don't know all the electrical stuff...very impressive work
For me only internet
Nice build. Thanks for sharing this video.
2 km range 😂😂
link to the controllers and thottle pleaseeee
la roue d’hoverboard va cramer, tu lui demande trop de couple..
Well i dont have a welder so i carnt build that lol
Это можно показать за две минуты!!!
Great project. I'm trying to do similar but what is the difference in the position of the holes with respect to the other half?
You are correct regarding the holes being slightly of set on the other half. It is hard to explain but I simply attached one side, then measured the spokes to the other side before marking and drilling.
very good project, what IS the top speed?
The top speed is around 25mph 👍
@@robmakes8824 what is the volts capacity of your controller pls
@@Maxttor 36/48V 👍
@@robmakes8824 Do you think it could suport a 1500w controller?
@@Maxttor If the controller was within the voltage range I suppose so 👍
I am sure the vid is longer than the ride.
Excellent ingenious build!....and this is a total fluke - I got the exact same board for pretty much the same price! (£14) although on mine, half the cells in the battery were dead.
felicidades , muy buen proyecto
Wouldn't you have got away with just the 3 phase wires out of the hub?
The extra wires are for the hall effect sensors which make for a smoother ride. They arent necessary though.
Excellent worck and idea👍
This is very complex. I would go with a chain drive system and rewire the motor from star to delta for faster speeds.
*Super travail.* 👍😉
Well-done Sir this is a very great project. I have two questions sir
1 what is the top speed kph ?
2 how did u go about with the holes on the hoverboard motor what calculation did u use
Top speed is roughly 40kph. Unfortunately i did not write down my calculations. A spoke calculator (you can find in these on the internet) will tell you 👍
@@robmakes8824 thanks so much but can u make a tutorial on how to use the spoke calculator?
hi what did you connect the charging port to was it strait to the battery
I connected the charging port to the batteries input / output. This goes through the batteries BMS 👍
@@robmakes8824 okay thank you
how can u add gears and disc brakes to this?
@@Rusty_Harsh Gears would not be too hard. The front 3 gears are still useable. Disc brakes would require modifying the wheel hubs.
Nice job exelent
Damn good job
Great project Rob. Did you use one bms or two?
Each battery has its own BMS. So 2 in total 👍
@@robmakes8824 Thanks Rob
Awesome 👍
What tools did you use to cut the wood?
I used a jig saw and chop saw 👍
Nice one
What size spokes did you use?
The spokes are the original ones from the wheels. Different size spokes were not needed 👍
How do you charge the battery?
I use the original charger from the hoverboard 👍
good job... I like..
Hi, may I know the durability of the welded shafts to motor? Are they reliable for day to day use?
The shafts were threaded as well as welded for extra strength. I have not had any reliability issues so far 👍
@@robmakes8824 One more thing bro, is that rain or waterproof? What could be the tips and tricks when washing the bike or when commuting in a down pour?
@@achieverhb67 The motors should be rain proof. The bullet connectors used are not, these could easily be replaced for water resistant connectors though. I wash carefully and remove the battery / electronics box when washing 👍
Waw! That’s cool
What is the maximum speed it gains on full throttle?
I would guess around 30-40 judging from the 700w power
I believe 25mph would be the top speed 👍
perfect.
Ok
speed limit?
Man I also have questions about the project but the youtuber isn't responding, I suggest making a forum or anything similar so that everyone gets answers for his questions if anyone knows it
I believe 25mph would be the top speed 👍
А как разобрать подшипники по менять???? Или датчик холла?
Not healthy
Really like this video but only one thing how do I connect the charging socket to the battery
In this project the charging socket is simply connected to the batteries BMS output 👍
But there is no bms on the battery
Or can you send vid about how to connect the charging socket to the bms
@@nobrianpeach3717 At 16:10 the BMS is seen attached to the battery.
@@nobrianpeach3717 The outputs from the BMS that attach to the motor controller are the same used to connect the charging socket. I do not have a video.
how long does the battery last?
Where did you find free scrap laptops? I'm trying so hard to find lots of broken ones and nothing so far.
Try Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace 👍
Ho how did u do the wiring and where did u buy the parts
So cool. well done !!! 👍
I was wondering if you could help me determine a hoverboard's motor's sensor wires in correlation with the controller I have?
I am afraid I am unable to help. I simply matched the colours on mine.
👌👏👍
important things not shown like wiring
very good project, me in my video I used a single hoverboard wheel by friction, 48v battery and my max speed is 52 km / h, and you how much max speed? thank you
Are there any you tube movies about that way of doing it by friction or is it just like a weedwacker motor by friction
Jeroen Doldersum hcjjjk un l j’y kk ça j’en y HF g
@@jdoldersum81 The trouble with mounting the motor above and touching the road tyre for a friction coupling is that the controller may limit speed well below a desirable level since it is still equivalent to a 6.5 inch driven tyre.
I believe 25mph would be the top speed 👍
How did you connect the charge port to the splitter?
felicitaciones . lastima que tenga mucho trabajo .estoy seguro que al final pensaste lo mismo que yo . debi comprarme un kit directamente asi me ahorraba el mecanico . la soldadura . el tiempo de buscar el hierro y cortar y lijar y darle forma . es un poryecto.muy bonito tengo uno hecho tambien pero aun tengo que ver el problema de recalentamiento del motor . pasa que le puse una bateria de 15.6 amp . y segun el acelarador esta funcionando a 36 volt . pero me calienta demaciado . un saludo desde Argentina
Great job !
شغل راقي جديد جدا
yes, my brother
How do you make one accelerator switch make the booth motors work?
I attached the wires from each motor controller and the accelerator together in parallel 👍
