Yeaahh... 2WD is the ultimate in performance and efficiency, people would be surprised the amount of POWEER that two very little motors can produce when combined and overvolted. So far from experience, two wheel drive generates a lot less heat and much better acceleration.
The UBCO 2WD farm bike got two big MAC motors, in this case there's enough power to lose front wheel traction in some occasions (uphill off-road specially). Surprisingly, that doesn't make you lose control at all but actually helps pointing the bike to the right direction in my opinion, I actually LOVED that feeling!!
Despiting my ideas of fun 2WD it's recommended to have a bit more POWER at the rear wheel like 60% rear and 40% front (this can be done via programming)Some 2WD decrease front wheel power at higher speeds, some completely switch it off.
Some people like the idea of having 2x throttles, one for the front and one for the rear.People have different opinions on what is best, everyone's ride is different, so there's no right or wrong here.
*love the outdoor video idea.. audio was actually fantastic for a beach video!
Thanks :-) I was wondering whether it may cause any problems with motors during cruising if the power is not equalized on both wheels but yeah, there shouldn't be.
Hey man I am having trouble trying to accomplish two hub motor, so I got a rear 72v 12000hub motor on my e bike but i want to add a front hub motor maybe like 8000w hub motor and i at the moment I am using a 150a controller to a 48ah lithium Panasonic cell battery, if I add the extra front hub do I need a extra controller or battery or even the voltage analysts, since there are two different hub motor will they miss up my controller ?
How much average charge duration do you get with 2wd ebikes? Longer using 2 seperate battery packs or with one larger pack? Thanks.
I was actually thinking of building it with two throtles,each for an engine.
two 1000w motors.
What about hill or trail climbing with 2WD?
I've been Trying to build and ebike for the longest time with NO luck, I'm Super Glad I came across your Channel! My next project I will be trying again Now!
Now add a mid drive
Yeah, soon three motors ebikes...with torque vectoring etc...etc
Soon
👍
✌️
😇
Add a 4cycle go full hybrid
And a 80cc petrol engine make a hybrid
🤣
LoL
Thank you so much for this video!!! I got me a 2nd motor and battery and was stressing on how and where I'd mount a second throttle and try to somehow link them together by mechanical means. I am SO glad you can simply combine the signal wires! :D
THANK YOU!
I'm a big fan of electric bicycles. I bought one two months ago and I love it. But the reason I'm commenting is your location brings back great memories of my past. I've been there on that beach. I ate delicious Gyros wraps there and I went to the night club there near the circle end where you stood at the end of your video. By the way, I've been wondering about two motors for more torque and quicker acceleration. Nice video
OR... you could go into the settings on a standard lcd controller and reduce the maximum current draw there! Much cheaper
@Myles Grant godamn scammer
I was wondering how I could do this and you explained it well, and quickly. Thanks.
When the wind is destroying your audio, try dropping the bass using a (High Pass Filter in your equalizer) This will take out the lows and allow your voice to carry through the video. Or you can drop the EQ ~6Db+/- in the 60-120Hz range in the video editor (I assume it has that capability) Thanks for the diagram. neat setup!
Awesome!!! Never realized you coukd use 2 controllers on one display. Def worth making an updated video with this method
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been trying to plan out a Hybrid Moped project, just to boost its speed to work as a daily commuter without violating local laws. But, I failed Circuit Analysis in college soooo this electrical stuff was a bit beyond me 😅 You summed everything up great, though!
Heya Mike.. you can usially filter out the wind noise with what I call the "PB filter" (removes the explosive wind noise when saying P or B into an unprotected mike). Despite the name, it's pretty simple. You just select the part of the audio you wanna filter (you can use audacity. Free and open source) and set an equalizer effect in which you silence the lower frequencies. First 1-2 bars all the way down, the rest gradually go up in a sharp curve spanning no more than 1-3 bars. This filters out the bass. Disruptive wind noise is mostly bass
Tthank you for your simple explanation of the two motor integration. Very well done.
Yep. Copenhagen here. Almost no ebikes!
On my commute through downtown I´ve rarely seen ebikes apart from the granny type or bewildered tourists on the overly expensive municipally sponsored clunky ebikes. It feels like my BBSHD 52V is VERY exotic in a place where almost 30% of commute trips are on a bike. I´ve NEVER through a ½ year of ebiking been overtaken by another bike (or moped for that matter). I should set up an advanced building shop for our type of ebiking, as it feels not much is going on in DK. Ponder ponder...
- And thanks Mica for the heads-up on endless FB on the AliExpress sale 11/11 2016. It just came at the right moment :).
Just caught up with your video today because of my interest in building my own ebike. I bought a Sondors Fold ebike last year and am hooked on commuting by ebike. I live in Chicago and we do have a change of seasons here. I'm of the opinion that a two motor bike is more practical plus I want more speed. I'm learning from you and hope to give you an update after completion of my own bike with a photo. Thanks fir your insight, your new friend,
Alfredo.
I want to create an ecycle from scratch. I figure I can cut the frame with my powerplasma cutter and tig weld everything with my everlast welder but I'm lacking some dimensions for the frame to mount the motors and batteries so that they are low to the ground.
My dream bike: 2x2 full suspension 1000w fat E bike ... snow, sand, mud, uphill, downhill... no matter what!
High Power Cycle in Cali
I was looking at those, (1000w per wheel), and it would be $400 plus bike and whatever battery you wanted to use). To me, that seems very cheap. Since I'm not worried about weight on an E-bike since its going to be heavy (this wouldn't be like me replacing everything with carbon fiber on my road bike), I could just get a gently used fat bike for $150 (my cousin has one of those, we've thoroughly abused it, and it looks and rides like new, I don't plan on doing ledge drops like I typically do). Seems like $550 plus some high powered LiPo batteries (to keep it moderately light weight) should be able to rip around and have fun!
I kit built, from ebay a 48v x2 1000w fat tire bike..No suspension(with 4 inch tires- not really needed). Its awesome :)
@@jakegarrett8109 $199 48v 1000w front or rear. Slightly under size rim..still takes a 4" tire. Controllers are cheap- I upgraded 1 with pure sine which is about 25% better. $700 2 kits and a bike. $800 mid mount 48v 1000w. Rear rack mounted 48v 1500w. $1500 for a really nice toy :) www.ebay.com/itm/26-IN-48-Volt-1000W-Electric-Bike-Motor-Fat-Tire-Kit-Front-Wheel-US-Stock/132961352932?hash=item1ef51d3ce4:g:h-kAAOSwiuRcbqM~:rk:13:pf:0
One kit had a right hand throttle grip, second kit I used a thumb throttle on the left side(turbo). :)
Yep your wiring diagram does look much more simpler.
Someday I hope to build an e-bike, I'm glad I found your channel!
Martin Taylor are you serious its like so simple
Stick two pedal assist controlled hub motors on a mid mounted e bike for a stealth triple motor machine.
So long as the hub motors are capable of freewheeling the operation of the original mid drive motor will be unchanged, but when you pedal the hub motors kick in for extra power and 2wd traction.
You can cruise around on the mid drive motor using minimal battery and power up steep hills with all three motors.
I love the way you illustrate your process
I am wanting to use two front electric hubs to build a electric car for my grandson, and I plant to make it look like an old ford 1920 model “t” I could definitely use help in what would work best. I am building it so he can grow up with it. For now Dad could ride him around until my grandson can handle it in his future.
Hi, You will get a 2WD controller 36V/48V both. This controller got two wire for motor, one is back and one is for front and remaining everything is same as your normal kit. Try it!
The wind noise isn't as disturbing as the foreground music. Excellent audio of your spoken voice despite the music and wind
I've been following you for years , hope everythings good in this difficult times .
Wow I've never heard of having two motors for an ebike. I've been considering making my own frame from scratch with my powertig welder. It would be great if I could design it so the batteries are very low to keep the center of gravity down.
Ever get around to it? If you have access to a welder, make a beefy connection for torque arms.
Perfect! Thank you for the topic.
I want to build a 2x2 bike
As of today March 2018 we have very few ebikes in Manchester UK. I did your test and 10 out of 10 were pedal bikes. And that was on a major road leading into the city centre.
Im doing this on a Trek 820. Front hub and rear hub 1000w. :)
There is one more E-Bike in Florida today. Thanks for the instructional video! You got me thinking. I did not know there was such a thing as 2WD bicycles.
Finally a sensible understandable guide to doing some rad things for ebikes, thank you very much. Unfortunately we don't have amazon in my country yet or i'd purchase your book right now.
Nice way to get around the single motor rule. could you in theory also have several motors surrounding a central shaft like an old radial engine. 5 small motors producing a large combined power output.
Mica you are awesome if you don't have a phd in this battery tech you should be given one very nice instruction and you cover everything ebike and battery build thank you very much very very good don't stop looking forward to more John Lilley thanks
Hahaha I knew someone would have already built it when I had the idea. Thanks for the video.
I wondered if such a thing was possible, not that I'm going to do it, for now I'm quite happy with just a normal 1kw rear hub motor setup.
Hi, I'm interested in a 2wd with only 1 controller system. I like your idea but, I would like less bulk. It's theoretically no. BUT it does work but I'm have some minor setbacks.
May be a good upgrade for mine some day and would probably just put a switch in to turn on 2x2 mode when I need it. Some kind of cruse control would be nice too.
learning keep it coming for cheap guys who need an ebike
Really well done video! I thought it was hilarious when you picked up the bike and both wheels spun. It was like instant cred.
Hi.
Can you also provide information on how to setup both bafang mid drive and front geared hub with the same technique you have used on this video?
Thanks in advance!
I did a survey in Switzerland a few years ago, each day after lunch I would take a walk about 30min around a walking and cycling path and I would count the ebike to non-ebikes. Then when back in the office I'd add that data into a spread sheet to keep track. After doing this daily for one month I found about 33% of cyclists were on ebikes.
This is really worth of a diy wind filter.
Hi! Very good video and great channel, I enjoy it and learn a lot; many thanks. I'll probably upgrade my ebike in the future to a 2WD.
I live in Aberdeen (Scotland, UK) and in this city there aren't many ebikes (weather doesn't help too much) but the tendency is increasing, in my job for example there were two ebike riders and we are four now 💪
It would be awesome to see how the 2 wheel drive bike compares to a mid drive for off road and back country hunting expeditions.
I'm in L.A are and I'm the only person to have one, that I know of. You see them a little on the beach as rentals but they should be all over. We love our cars I guess.
They always were behind the times in L.A.
Great information and thanks for sharing. The "all-wheel-drive" advantages are irrefutable - and must be GREAT FUN to ride! I can see where it would be very useful to have the option to readily switch/select either only FWD, or RWD, or AWD. Can you please show and explain how this could be readily optioned? With Thanks
My question is why stop at two motors and add a midmount motor as well? Three! It would be like two people pedaling it, wouldn't it? ( And of course, a real high amp battery).
Thanks Micah!
Great vids!!!
I was a trail rider on gas bikes since young (67 now) and this has opened up a new chapter for me!
I have a question pertaining to the battery (By The Way I have your books); in this vid you say a stronger single battery. I assume you’re running 48v because of your flavor of controllers. Say if I want to spend an afternoon in the woods and still have power left over, what capacity battery should I be looking for?
Good stuff Micah. As your video is a few years old now, has some of the parts needed become cheaper or more expensive as Ebikes have become more popular? I am a beginner here but I am down! Thanks
this is the video that made me subscribe
I have yet to see one. I have seen one or two with little gas motors. I have a eboard and feel like I'm the only person I know with one. people stair at me when I fly buy at 25 mph. great video
Another informative video that respects my time. You are a hero
Wow! Thanks for the Math. Definitely a Two wheel drive makes a big difference. Looking forward to building one in the future. #Projectlist #Bikelife
In NEw York CitY, most main avenues like Broadway or 8th Ave; there are 20 Ebikes for every one cycle. It’s the new wave!
I have a Hybrid Quik Cannondale which is slick and after seeing these ebikes whiz past me I ended up copping one. After waiting about 4 weeks, tomorrow I get an Emojo Wildcat Fat Tire 48V 750W ebike. #Landshark
Super customer service
Hi, I want to build a dual voltage battery, with 2, 24v BMS's in parallel, utilizing two 7s halves of the pack, and also 1, 52v 14s BMS, so I can use it to power my 24v inverters that I already own, as well as my eBike at 52v. I have searched everywhere for a video on this and have never been able to find one. I think this would be an awesome video for those wanting to use their custom made eBike battery for multiple voltages, but don't know how to make it possible and also safe to use and charge. Thank you for all the great content, I always share your videos when asked about battery building.
Thanks for that. This is exactly the system I’m looking for.
Once again a fantastic well informing video, you make it all look so easy, and i am sure it will be.
Cheers from the land down under
Brian
Only 2 in my town of Hopewell Virginia USA thank for shearing.
That makes you the trend setter.
Super awesome video man. My only small criticism is can you dial down the background music a bit.
I really like this idea but with bigger motors
If your controller is beefy enough to handle it, you can also drive both motors from ONE controller. you wire one of the motors up like normal with the phase and hall wires, and on the second you just wire the PHASE wires in parallel to the main motor. it works great with one just slaving off the other. I have done this as a test and it works fine. just make SURE your controller can handle the additional load of the second motor.
Let me know if you try this :)
Yea so that method doesn't work as well. The two motors will never be at the 'exact' same position relative to their hall sensors, so the controller needs to send different pulses to each motor. It will work on the bench, but with a load, the motors will experience judder.
My experience was different. I only used the hall sensors of one motor, and the other syncs up in no time. You are correct that they won't start in sync, but after a few feet, the sync up pretty quick, as they have little choice but to do so. I am not speaking theoretically here, I have done this personally and can confirm this first hand. I must stress however, they must be identical motors.
Not trying to argue, just sharing my personal experience for others to learn from.
Also, I should add that your method is better as you have control over each motor, whereas what I did didn't.
YMMV
Can You make a VIDEO That Could Show US How To Do This Set up Step by Step.
I'M Sure Thousands o f Us Would Love To Use Your Method. Please Do IT For The Team.
will it work with Dual Mode Hall Sensor?
This video inspired me to definitely try to create an all wheel drive ebike :-) I really want to do that!
You're a good presenter Micah! Nice videos bud.
Sir. Was adding more motor. Will give more increase speeds? Example i used 80km ebike motor and i want to add more e bike 80km motor. And is that even possible? I hope i got cleared answer soon.
it's crazy out here in the suburbs of Philadelphia I don't see them ever. if anything I see more gas powered bikes. if I had some place to store it I was thinking of doing a hybrid bike rear gas front hub Electric and I'm surprised I haven't seen anything like that yet.
me too. theres a handful of gas bikes and in recent memory only saw 1 cruiser e bike here. maybe i'll have the 2nd :-) I like the idea of a 2x small motor build
gas bike die off ? it wont unless there's no gas anymore , but a hybrid might be possible
sdq sdq
It's technically not a hybrid unless the combination is synergistic. An electric and a gas drive on the same bike will reduce each other's performance and efficiency unless modified or initially designed to work together in a way that takes advantage of each system's advantages. A true hybrid arrangement uses excess gas engine power to charge a battery that can contribute power when needed for acceleration or extending range. Cars, relatively speaking, are much better suited to a hybrid setup than are bikes. Cars travel at half their top speed or less. The large engines are required to get the heavy vehicles up to cruising speed quickly. Hybrids can use a smaller, more fuel efficient engine because the electric motor can contribute power during that acceleration phase. When cruising at a steady speed, much less horsepower is necessary, so the engine can also be powering an alternator that is building up a charge in the large traction battery.
A bicycle is using all its gas engine power to reach a marginally safe speed in mixed traffic, so has no power to spare to turn an alternator to power the electrical half of a practical hybrid system. Fuel economy is so good already on a gas powered bike that doubling it isn't much of a gain. For a bicycle to be a good candidate for a hybrid powertrain, it would have to be heavier and much more aerodynamic, like a fully enclosed, streamlined, recumbent tandem. Another configuration would be a series hybrid loaded cargo bike with regenerative braking in a stop & go urban environment in which the gas engine was used only to power an appropriately sized alternator to keep a relatively large battery pack topped off. This hybrid arrangement would work well for extending the bike's range rather than increasing performance. An optimized hybrid gas/electric vehicle adjusts contributions from each depending on how much instantaneous power is needed, how much fuel is available, how much battery capacity and state of charge is available, the ratio of power available from each, how much power from the alternator can be efficiently stored (charge rate) etc. Even battery temperature is important since that greatly affects charge rate, capacity and output rate. Expense, complexity, battery deterioration etc. are a few other variables that require consideration in any practical design.
After 2 years of riding my ebike in the Phoenix area, I finally saw another ebike a month ago. I"ve seen 4-5 gas powered bikes though (ugh).
After a season of riding on icy roads, AWD bikes are not the way to go for winter because you do not want the front wheel to ever slip. It's possible to recover from the rear wheel slipping, but if you put any torque on the front and it spins, you are going down.
I AM INTERESTED IN BUILDING A BATTERY THAT CAN BE EASILY REPAIRED IF ONE OR MORE CELLS LOOSE POTENTIAL. THE SOLDERED OR EVEN THE SPRING LOADED CONNECTIONS TYPES I HAVE SEEN WOULD ALL BE AS SERIOUS REBUILD IN CASE OF CELL FAILURE
Very nice chain on this bike just PEFECT!!!!
I want to be able to sync the wheel speeds of a front hub motor and mid drive motor on one bike for all wheel drive. I know it can be done and I came to you because I know you can solve it. Bafang M620 for the mid drive and 250w or 350w Bafang front hub. Thanks so much!
I live in a town of 4500 and i'm the only E bike can imagine the looks I get :D
Awesome man! I gonna upgrade soon. I've got a 1000w motor in my garage but im using a 1500w motor. Gonna definitely install them later for trial....
Thanks for sharing the idea man....
Hello, how did it go with yours bc I am about to do the same I have 1500w motor on the rear but have 1000w that I am planning to install to the front but I am just not sure if bc it's different motor would be a problem, can't find any where in the internet that could answer my question, not even going to bother asking him would probably never answer lol😅🤣
I've been waiting for a new video to come out, and this was an excellent one! Thanks!
I've been thinking about building a 2WD 2000w beach bike, but haven't done the research yet beyond knowing that I would have to use two controllers and not to use a front suspension fork with front wheel motor.
For a small motor you can do it (you can see my bike has a suspension fork) but for a 1,000W you are risking damage.
@@EbikeSchool why is that?
So I need to disable my front suspension when I install the 1000w front motor kit?
Its said that these electric motors will still get moisture inside and eventually rust up and cause motor to go bad, for the amount of time you've used your bike have you ever opened up your motors to check the conditions of internals, or have you did an internal water proofing method.
I have only seen 3 ebikes in Orlando, but were looking to change that
This is great, thanks! What about connecting one set of brakes and one pedal-assist-sensor to 2 controllers? Thanks!
Best bet is to hook one brake lever up to each controller, so one brake lever cuts power to one controller, then connect the pedal assist to one controller normally while running a jumper from the signal wire of the pedal assist to the second controllers PAS sensor.
video/audio recording in wind: take the hair off a "1970's Troll doll" and place it over the mic (with a hole cut in the middle for the mic) on the camera. This fake purple/green hair will absorb the wind but allow your voice thru without distortion.
Rob K or just buy a dead cat for the mic
You will be able to make a video where you show how to connect a standard ebike monitor to two controllers?
Sydney is super hilly all over the place so I don't see much in e-bikes but I have a 900W eskateboard, the ones with those beefy tires. 36V 15AH lead acid battery which I'm dying to replace the dead batteries to 18650 but I'm moving to Seattle soon so no change unless I do it up there :(
Front on one battery and rear on another....when one runs down switched to other for greater range or both for uphill
Will your DIY Ebike book tell me how to do this ? And how to take the 1 green wire and turn it into 2 green wires ? And how to with 2 seperate batteries ? Every little thing in detail ? DIY ebike dummy here.. hello..
Very few in Texas USA maybe more in major cities most people drive 4x4 trucks. Some states have a 20mph electric motor only rule some are 30 mph elect only and some states are unregulated
e-bike here in Hastings New Zealand = 1 in 20, then 1 in 23, that is 2 whole days looking around for bikes in this city lol, so help us get the bikes rolling here eh hehe
The last time I visited Modi'in I saw one or two on the streets, and I've seen the occasional bike in West Glamorgan. I haven't yet seen a custom build, though - the majority (of perhaps five I've seen in the past year) were ebike shoppers of the kind you can impulse-buy from the Ideal World channel if TV shopping is your thing.
Dual 250W hub motors on cargo trailer, plus dual 250W hub motors and maybe another 250w mid drive, how big a battery pack will I need to haul 70lb dog on flat terrain for long periods of time and long distances, at a decent traveling speed "15-20mph tops on pedal assist, remember the hole set up is gonna be really heavy
Poland: 10 out of 10 pedal bikes
We all start somewhere.
What kind of controller or setup I'd need to recuperate energy, to charge batteries on downhills or stops?
Hi Micah. I wanted to ask. If you wanted to put a regenerative system in place, to recharge the battery and perhaps even have a fold out portable 100w solar panel to add more range and charge. Living in Israel you should be able to get a load of extra power. Is this possible to do. Is it feasible or not worth the extra cost.any advice on regenerating systems like the freewheeling types. Look forward to now going through your videos. Awesome 👏 🤙😎🤙
I have a question for you.
In another video, you said that you can overvolt your motor but you have to lower the current because the motor is going to get hot.
Now I see that you over clock both voltage and current.
On this specific bike, what battery did you use and what is your range on it?
Please make a video showing how to program CA V3 with the Infenion 12 fet IRFB3077 Controller with Leafbikes 1500 watt Brushless hub motor!
I've only seen one ebike in Baltimore but they have e-scooters everywhere downtown
Micah how would one go about connecting the Pedal assist with the two motors? Can you splice them to each controller with no signal loss??
Great Work...... You are really filling a fast growing need for eBike info. I remember a couple of years ago when it was very difficult to get info/parts and now we are on the cusp of an eRevolution, Thanks so much for being a facilitator. . . . . . . . //// ?(1) avail of eBike hubs for small wheels (16" & 20")? . . .We ride recumbents and I look forward to adding ePower in next year or so. ( BikeE , Vision R40, Velotechnik Grasshopper ) //// ?(2) Can you charge a lithium too often? or should you let them run down before charging?
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!
Nice demo. What motors are you using?
These are Q100h motors.
Thanks great video
could you make some videos focused on small e-scooters. I am using one to commute the "last mile". thanks for an excellent channel !
I live in a small town in Oklahoma USA, and I have the only e bike that I know of, lol
I'm highly motivated to do a dual motor E-Bike! Ready to spend $1200 on parts if you can give me your recommendations for sites I can purchase my parts. I want to do a 72 or 92 volt system. Please help
Respectfully, he already has helped by posting a number of instructional videos.
You're either going to need to learn what you need to from them or not. Don't wait for someone to help, help yourself.
Now that makes a lot of since to me.
I probably own the only 3 ebikes in my small rural town in the northern Midwest. Possibly in a 20 mile radius... I'm hoping to change that. :)
5 years ago I think I owned half of the ebikes in Pittsburgh, a city of 300,000.
