Friendly advice: Please mount chain guard, even if that thin chain is rated OK, you don't want a 56hp chain whip in the back of your head. Also, the chain looks really thin =) Love the motor+reduction setup!
agreed - Well they talk about the battery pack, the 300A protection switch and the control systems a lot (including wood on top of the seat-mounted LiPo packs - 'smart' move there... :P ), plus the acceleration rates are far too fast to have reliable control over the vehicle (because it wouldn't be road legal in most countries without reclassification, MOT compliance and driving license) - its basically an over-scaled, passenger carrying version of a kids high performance RC car. I can't help but laugh how impractical this is in its current form (no doubt more holes to pick into it, but that is the main one for me). If improvements were made, then there's no reason why this can't make this a better vehicle, especially with bigger wheels, better battery system and a gentler acceleration curve.
djfmitv hahaha I love how you described my toy “over-sized, passenger carrying, version of a kids high performance RC car”... haha... this is exactly what I’m trying to do!!! I have to say, this power to weight ratio is impractical in so many ways but it's super fun, scary and “portable”... only 35.2kg when I made this video (watch this: ruclips.net/video/cCP7f2V2R5U/видео.html ) Yes I'm improving and adding a proper racing motorcycle battery capable if keeping up with this extremely high current and a state of the art battery management system, look up "Batrium". My initial idea was to make this a mini electric vehicle all aerodynamic with fairing all over, rolling cage, seat belt blablabla... this hole project is costing soooo much $$$$$$$ so I'm doing it slowly so I don't go broke haha Ah... also got front air shocks too... the fun is just beginning ohhh yeaahhh =]
Vash Venture hahaaaaaa... thaaanks mate... yeah this trike is just freaking mental... this is a bizarre experimental custom build, super challenging electrically, mechanically and riding without killing yourself in the first test Hahahaa so much POWAAAAAAAHHH ohhh yeaahhh =]
Hahahahahahaa you’re right... there little batteries only lasted like 10 to 15 minutes... I’ve made a pack that’s 6x bigger and actively air cooled with a proper electric car battery management system... so much POWEEER
I would love to drive something like that. :D Wouldnt it be better for traction to use some wider Rim like a Fat Bike Rim for example ? i would like to know if it would be possible to add enough batteries to have a reach of about 100km with driving about 80kmh. Keep on riding :D
Vapolidazius Googulus yeahhh I reeeeally want to get a fatter rear tyre for more traction.. I just installed a new super powerful battery but the bicycle tyre and grip is the limiting factor.. I'll show more details in my next video replying lots of comments =] Yes, these trikes can carry a monster battery pack under the seat, there is a company in the USA called OUTRIDER USA they had two trikes with massive batteries and did some very long interstate tours. My new pack will give me a much better range but this trike is super Road illegal I'm not sure where I can ride it hahaha
thequickredfoxjumped overthelazybrowndog yeaaahhh I'm here to help hahaa... Sounds like you'll need a new controller if the wires were damaged... just pay attention to your motor model there are few different details you need to ou attention, better remove your controller first so you can see things properly. You'll need some silicone when installing a new one. Apart from controller everything else should be fine, possibly a harness depending how bad and where the wires stretched. There is a wheel speed sensor extension designed for long cargo bikes but it's about 40/50cm long... you may need few for a recumbent trike or if you're confident soldering wires you can just extend it. Maybe practice in the bad controller first =] Yeahh I hope I helped a bit... so much POWEEEEEEERRRR haha
Hahahaaaaa thaaaaaanks hermanoooo... have you watched my other videos? You’ll love watching this one here a DIY 210kW Racing Electric Yamaha R1 on the racetrack agains petrol bikes ruclips.net/video/vdKDOfXBRMM/видео.html so much POWEEEEEERRR ohhh yeaaahhh =]
Jesse Rathburn thaaaaaaanks... hahaha you left me very curious here.. what is your next project????? Please tell me... tell me that you're making something super silly and INSANE too with soooooo much POWEEEERRRR hahaa =]
Hahahahaaa yeaaahh thaaanks mate!! This mad toy is definitely one of the craziest machines I’ve ever rode in my life!! Quite a few automotive engineers and racing guys also tried and were like WTFFFFF hahahaha it’s just an ebike hahaha
+Raglan “SolarCycle eBikes” Electric Bikes yeahhh the aerodynamic advantage kicks in above 40kmh... trikes are so different, it's close to go kart in so many ways haha =]
Yeaahhh.. I'm getting a much wider rear tyre and also run at lower pressure... I did few tests just lowering the pressure and the front wheels were actually lifting and losing control... the scariest thing ever... hahaa... New video coming soon showing everything I am improving and changing... this trike is about to fly.. ohh yeaahh.... so much POWEEEEERRRRR =]
If you add more traction, Youngs modulus bites you in the ass ! The tires are the second fusible link, with traction the stress on the chain and frame welds may be too much
+Michael Mills Thaaanks dude!! Yeahh... it was just the very first run of the very first prototype!! I did few other runs after this video, impressively the bicycle wheel is holding pretty well, improved the battery, wider rear wheel, installing some devices to accurately measure and control the power... nice project, I'm having so much fun hahaha ohh yeaahhh =]
Believe it or not, the wheel spin is actually a good thing in this application. With tall gearing the controllers would easily over-amp. The wheel spin acts as a clutch reducing the load on the controllers. Bruno, I would recommend a steering damper. Above 50mph the steering tends to get very twitchy. Also, I would eliminate the circuit breaker. This thing will pull 1,000 amps peak in short bursts.
Matt Shumaker Wait... You're the guy that built this motor setup! :: bows to the master :: I need to pick your brain, someday, on my setup! AMAZING JOB!
When I was looking at circuit breakers for my build, I had a hard time finding DC specs that really suited my needs, so I went with a slow-intermediate time delay fuse and a very short lead out of the battery. I have cells good for 240A continuous, so a 200A fuse with a real world expectation of 180A out of the battery is what I decided based off battery load tests, and thermal performance of the cells. I then use a more conservative setpoint in the controller for current so that I will not pop the fuse unless I have a dead short downstream. You could always program a more progressive throttle rate to limit starting torque and initial amp draw on the controllers. I wonder if the steering damper is needed for this setup. I have extra wide bars on my ebike, and it feels quite stable at 50+. Maybe with two front wheels it needs extra damping.
IT'S ALIVE! So jealous! Recumbent bike... Yes, of course! You won't be pulling overhead wheelies on this monster. Bahahaha! Simply Astounding, Bruno, well played!
Hahaaaa thaaaaaaaaaanks mate!!! Yeah, I’m always trying to have the most fun and POWEEEEEERRR possible (without killing myself), some crashes here and there, some zaaaap working on high voltage batteries but always being positive, making some videos and spreading the word.... It makes me really happy when I receive comments like that, I really appreciate it =]. Sooo much POWEEEEEEEERRR ohhh yeaahh
Yeeeaah man.. thaaanks for adding to your favourite videos hahaaa.. I'm adding a larger battery and some other modifications to this trike to see how it will go at 840A of insane POWEEEEEEERRRR.... =]
Javan Russell yeaaahhh I got a box full of new tyres to "try"... the ones I don't really like will be used for super mad burnouts hahaha... big motorcycle racing lipo fitted, capable of 1700A peak... hahaha this is INSANEEEEE
+Syed Alam yeaaaahhh... insanely fast and super comfortable too hahahaa... I'm just not too sure if I can associate the word chilling with this trike, every time I'm near or sitting on it, my heart beats faster even when it's turned off... when I turn it on... adrenaline start pumping... this little trike is ultra scary but soooo much fun... I can't describe haha... absolutely LOVE it!!!! =] Did u see the 210kw DIY Racing Electric Yamaha R1 ruclips.net/video/vdKDOfXBRMM/видео.html
ElectricBike Hi dude..! I've just watched the video of Yamaha R1's mind-boggling race..! It was insanely powerful. However, why don't you go for a commercial production of your own electric bikes/motorcycls..?
+William Burndred hahahaa... I swear I was trying my hardest to avoid that continuous tyre squeal... but even the smallest touch on the throttle delivers a massive punch hahaha... so much POWEEEEEERRR!!!! Ohhh yeaahhh =]
Awesome! I was thinking of a 3 motor fat tire bike. Front and rear hub drive and a supplemental Bafang mid drive for a total of 4500 watts but that recumbent is INSANE
Hahaaa yeeeeaahhh... ideally I would’ve had one motor on each wheel but back in 2016 when I had this crazy idea I was thinking about having one big lightweight motor to take this trike to a land speed record but I changed the plans since then... by far the smallest and craziest machine I’ve ever tried in my life, power to weight was greater than Bugatti hahahaa but impossible to control
OH MY GOD SO MUCH POOOOOOOOOWWWWWEEEEERRRRRR. It's funny how you talk like that, not sure I'd like it for too long though. Crazy impressive machine though. One motor is more than that needs.
What an incredible! piece of engineering. Beautiful work! Love ur enthusiasm! I can feel the excitement ... Here in America ... We men love to grip our throttles, give em a twist, and .... produce 'wood'! Godspeed
This is awesome, unbelievable power to keep the back wheel spinning. I would like to see another version with three hub mounted motors, then you might get the traction down
+Rex Venom yeaaahh I considered 3 hub motors, that would be freaking AWESOME but I also always wanted to play with these freak little motors for years so I had to give it a go... it's possible that I can add another two front hubs but I'll try a much wider rear first at lower tyre pressure for more grip like drag racing monsters haha
+roche wijnaar hahahaha you'll see what this trike can do now with a proper more powerful battery pack... in this video here the motor was limited to 300A... now I can go full 840A hahahaa INSAAAAAANE
Crazy electric nutheads!! awesome stuff. I just ordered my first electric bike. I hope it's as fun as it looks. I could only afford one with the 350w bafang max drive setup. A fatbike with 4.8inch wide tires.
+Ant Laud yeaaaahh... bicycle mechanics, wheel builders, engineers, myself... no one can understand how a regular bicycle wheel can handle this ridiculous torque!!! I love these bizarre tests... if people say "no, this is crazy, won't work" I automatically question "why" hahahaa... so much POWEEEEEERRR =]
Man, I'm dying to see the finished bike with those new batteries! Decided today to bump up from 3K to 7.5K Cyclone. Feel the need for speed! Think I'll put my BBSHD on a girls bike and give it to my OL hahaha! POWAAAAA!!!
Hahahahaha yeaaahhh remember a few years ago everyone scared of getting in trouble with the police riding “ilegal bikes”. No one is getting in trouble, we are getting better and more powerful motors, batteries and controllers... hell yeahhh increase the POWAAAAAAAHHH hahaha
Hahaaaaa I still have that trike, lots of modifications since that video.. I need to finish some stuff and make more videos showing sooooo much POWEEEEEEEEEEEER ohhh yeaahh
Hahahahaa yeeeeeeaahhh mate... Yesterday I realised that this video is nearly completing its 3 years anniversary in January.. I guess I’ll have to make a burnout video to celebrate hahaaa ohhhh yeaaahhh
Yeeeaahhh.. this triple motor setup is so freaking cool... that high pitch sound from 3x high rpm motors singing together are AWESOME!!! Hub motors are powerful and have their place but.. ahh... I love my noisy machine hahhaa =]
With all of these companies claiming to have the fastest e-bike,I'd pity them if you created a two wheeled version using military grade aluminum!This is 1 sick bike, keep up the good work!BTW,a company called Trifecta has a single side fork and swingarm, problem is it's $25,000!With all of the replies I've read,they're right on the money! If you ever built a two wheeled version, it's on my list!
+EM3ev yeaahh the monster is rolling... did u see... I have more POWER than grip hahaha... I'm adding a super high current 30Ah pack hanging very low near the rear wheel. Im also installing a very advanced active BMS all made in Australia designed for electric vehicles and battery storage systems.. very interesting to see this all this technology on a small trike... =]
Hahahaa hell yeaaahhh... that little toy is going to kill me!!!! Some racing dudes and mechanics freaks tried and said that the acceleration is so ridiculous they never felt anything like this before hahaa so much POWEEEEEERRR ohh yeaahhh
hey bro i hope you can help please im making a project but i need a motor that can go up to 70 miles per hour i just dnt know the electrical motor type or witch one i can use please reply
If I had a battery that contained 80volts 15ah and I wanted to use two 48volt controllers. low cut off is 41volts and max is 60volts each not sure for the let's say 40amps. One motor one throttle. Would the controllers burn out?
+Psycho Skippy insanely scary to ride... rear wheel wants to overtake the trike at all time and this first test was only at 300A... new motorcycle racing battery is here and now I can unleash the 840A full power... I got a box of tyres to burn here hahahaha ...so much POWEEEEEERRR =]
Hahahaha yeaaaahhh exactly I want to feel that mental acceleration... this trike is a side project that I’m slowly making and it’s taking so many years but worth the trouble hahaaaa just to prove that it’s possible to make something super high current and low voltage, super lightweight 35kg and stupidly powerful all in one toy hahahaa
+Lee AC yeaaahh... hahaha... as I pull the throttle I can feel the front wheels lifting and the rear wheel losing grip, in other words I have almost no control... super scary, adrenaline pumping every time I twist the throttle hahahaha... so much POWEEEEEERRR
Hi mate.. from Australia here.. Im trying to find the castle creations speed controllers you use that are 280amp? I can find them? Did you reprogram the 160amp HV model or something like that? Thank tom
+applefanXXX great question dude... these ESCs can continuously handle 160A... on a bike or motorcycle is a completely different environment, loaded from start (very high current) then as you start moving the load actually decreases, so it's more like 280A massive burst instead, this gives time for the controller to cool... =]
how much would it cost to get one of these made? I'm interested in building one or getting one made< but I'm unsure to where to get the parts if I build it myself.
Heeey mate.. let me help you haha.. The XT90s only works when you’re joining the connectors. Some people think by having an XT90S in line on the battery cable would work as a pre charge but it only works as a pre-charge during that very quick 0.5 -1second as you plug them together. There’s a resistor inside the female connector connected to a small ring facing the outer side of the connector. The slower you connect them fully the better. The faster the more chances of getting a small spark inside the connector. The XT90s works well for RC applications but also works well for 60v and 20s 72v (84v max) is the limit for the anti spark to work. Above that voltage, controllers have some serious capacitor banks and you actually need a proper pre-charge solution. Circuit breaker is a different story, they act like a resettable fuse. You can kinda get away using a normal 110-240v AC circuit breaker to manage the initial spark.. it works... not ideal but does the job + it’s an additional protection =]
Yeahhh these DC ones are only rated for low voltage 12-24v... my trike is only 12s which is 50.4v max so not too bad but not ideal. Anything higher I wouldn’t use it. You need a proper contactor (a big relay). Look up for Gigavac and Kilovac brands, they can do crazy voltages. I recently fitted one in my trike replacing the 24v, the contactor is rated to 1000v 350A continuous (totally overkill) but they need 12 or 24 or 48v to activate the coil.
Yeeeeaahhh.. thaaanks dude... this freak machine is keeping me busy for a looooong time... but its taking shape and coming together... looks more like a MADMAX thing than something suitable for road use but its just a fun prototype hahahaha... so much POWEEEEEEEEEEEERRR... *next video showing some updates very soon =]
+NikoxD93 yeaahh this is what I'm still trying to figure out... this trike is so low and super lightweight... I spoke to some automotive engineers and chances are that if I extend the rear it could get worse as there will be no weight at the rear... we are taking about making a completely new frame where we can calculate all these forces and possibly make a detachable rear end so we can try different lengths (slightly longer or shorter) and compare results... so much work and money but a lot of fun making this beast hahaa...
if you were to make a bike for a person that can use it mostly and get the most out of it what kind of a motor would you put on it and what kind of wheels and tires and why would you make it more likely like what you working on here or would you be able to stop all the time so the bh1000
Had to come back & see this beast again. Such a clean setup with the belt drive! I'm wanting to give a 1960's trike (Gote Dune) a rebirth with E-Power. It will need some power to take on sand dunes. Unfortunately I'll have to stay away from belt drive because the sand would tear it up in short order. I'm thinking motorcycle chain & sprockets and a rear differential. Fortunately I'll have more room to work with over the rear dif. POWERRRRR!!!
Chris Duke hahaaaa don't give up on the belt drive.. make a protection so sand can't get in.. chain + sand = crumbed chain haha will rust badly.. I took my fatbike to the beach few times and my brand new chain aged 10 years haha Chain is easier to setup but belt you set and forget, no lube no rust... I want another belt replacing that chain. Do u have any photos or videos showing your 60's trike? Make something stupidly POWERFUL and send me a link haha.. so much POWEEEEERRR =]
Well, the ATV differential I plan on using is set up for chain. I'll be using a jackshaft with some sort of gearing. Probably only two or three gears, but I think a chain would be easier to do that with. I haven't figured out what to use for gears yet. I won't be using bicycle chain, so it should last a long time. I've had bad times with motorcycle belts in the rough. I can see driving all the way up to Pismo Beach & having a belt break. That would suck.
Friendly advice: Please mount chain guard, even if that thin chain is rated OK, you don't want a 56hp chain whip in the back of your head. Also, the chain looks really thin =) Love the motor+reduction setup!

Postume Immortal Well if it was 56 hp this thing would fold around the Motor
SUCH POWER!!!! Always dig your positive attitude and energy!! Keep it going man!
Vash Venture hahaaaaaa... thaaanks mate... yeah this trike is just freaking mental... this is a bizarre experimental custom build, super challenging electrically, mechanically and riding without killing yourself in the first test Hahahaa so much POWAAAAAAAHHH ohhh yeaahhh =]
42k watts these tiny batteries ain't going to get you far. You're going to need a trailer with a nuclear reactor attached to it to get some distance.
Hahahahahahaa you’re right... there little batteries only lasted like 10 to 15 minutes... I’ve made a pack that’s 6x bigger and actively air cooled with a proper electric car battery management system... so much POWEEER
Next tutorial - nuclear powered recumbent trike
I think he knows that buddy
Max speed video coming up next
I would love to drive something like that. :D
Wouldnt it be better for traction to use some wider Rim like a Fat Bike Rim for example ?
i would like to know if it would be possible to add enough batteries to have a reach of about 100km with driving about 80kmh.
Keep on riding :D
Need more battery :)
Электродикобраз Maklaud yeaahhh... got a massive racing battery.. I can pull 1700A now hahahahaa you'll see the next video.. ohh yeahhh
Vapolidazius Googulus yeahhh I reeeeally want to get a fatter rear tyre for more traction.. I just installed a new super powerful battery but the bicycle tyre and grip is the limiting factor.. I'll show more details in my next video replying lots of comments =]
Yes, these trikes can carry a monster battery pack under the seat, there is a company in the USA called OUTRIDER USA they had two trikes with massive batteries and did some very long interstate tours. My new pack will give me a much better range but this trike is super Road illegal I'm not sure where I can ride it hahaha

yes yes yes!!!!! I want to take that up Pike's Peak! It's just up the road from me, would make for a nice test... Nice work, keep it coming!!!
more more more ! Awesome !
looking good!
I really hope to see more of this I feel like you've had it stashed away for atleast a year now!
now thats what im talking about, the real beast of electric trikes

That is legit what I was searching for when I came across this RUclips video instead
This is super cool bro
Thaaaaanks mate hahahahaha so much POWAAAAAAAHHH ohhh yeaaahhh =]
That's insane, your insane. YEEEAAAAHHHHHH
Ohhh yeaaahhhh INSAAAAANE supa POWEEEEEEEEEERRRRR hahahaha
OH MY GOD SO MUCH POOOOOOOOOWWWWWEEEEERRRRRR. It's funny how you talk like that, not sure I'd like it for too long though. Crazy impressive machine though. One motor is more than that needs.
what's the final drive ratio?
That was so cool I want it!!!
What an incredible! piece of engineering. Beautiful work!
Love ur enthusiasm! I can feel the excitement ...
Here in America ... We men love to grip our throttles,
give em a twist, and .... produce 'wood'!
Godspeed
Nice to see Australia can even build electric bikes that do skids. That looks like fun.
MotörHeavyRockHead hahahaha yeaahhh man... so many freaking high POWAAAAHHHH wild electric bikes here in Australia.... hahaha
jesus this is crazy, how about you test that torque by pulling a car, or a van! POWER!
i think it has enough torque, but not enogh weight to pull a car.
@@AtheistDD u can pull a car with a normal bike ,this wont have any problems
This is awesome, unbelievable power to keep the back wheel spinning. I would like to see another version with three hub mounted motors, then you might get the traction down
+Rex Venom yeaaahh I considered 3 hub motors, that would be freaking AWESOME but I also always wanted to play with these freak little motors for years so I had to give it a go... it's possible that I can add another two front hubs but I'll try a much wider rear first at lower tyre pressure for more grip like drag racing monsters haha
holy shit man !! I think your the first to burn rubber on a bicycle like that!!
+roche wijnaar hahahaha you'll see what this trike can do now with a proper more powerful battery pack... in this video here the motor was limited to 300A... now I can go full 840A hahahaa INSAAAAAANE
Crazy electric nutheads!! awesome stuff. I just ordered my first electric bike. I hope it's as fun as it looks. I could only afford one with the 350w bafang max drive setup. A fatbike with 4.8inch wide tires.
That's just Awesome!
Solar Junky Power poweeerrr we need more power, I think I read below this is insane mode!
crazy train! lol!
Frickin' awesome! Need to find a grippier back tire.
Crazy people like this, makes the world a fun place to live.
Hahahahaha so true... more people should live a crazy life like there’s no tomorrow... we only live once... so much POWEEER ohhhh yeaaahhh =]
@@BrunoPOWEEER True 👍
So sick!
So..about the same torque as a dodge hellcat (peak) is that right? Or am I confusing engine tq with wheel tq?
What motor is being used here? I want to build my own electric motorbike from scratch and was wondering what motor to get?
What a cool prototype. I like watching you crazy guys!!! What about wider rear rim? Cheers
I love your energy ❤❤❤
Hahaaaaa thaaaaanks mate... glad you enjoyed all the POWEEEEEERR hahahaa ohhh yeaahh!! =]
Love it 👍
I'm surprised the spokes held out, but great fun to watch
+Ant Laud yeaaaahh... bicycle mechanics, wheel builders, engineers, myself... no one can understand how a regular bicycle wheel can handle this ridiculous torque!!! I love these bizarre tests... if people say "no, this is crazy, won't work" I automatically question "why" hahahaa... so much POWEEEEEERRR =]
Man, I'm dying to see the finished bike with those new batteries!
Decided today to bump up from 3K to 7.5K Cyclone. Feel the need for speed!
Think I'll put my BBSHD on a girls bike and give it to my OL hahaha! POWAAAAA!!!
Hahahahaha yeaaahhh remember a few years ago everyone scared of getting in trouble with the police riding “ilegal bikes”. No one is getting in trouble, we are getting better and more powerful motors, batteries and controllers... hell yeahhh increase the POWAAAAAAAHHH hahaha
Bru-No Too Much Power😅😂😱 You Rock Dude
Hahaaaaa I still have that trike, lots of modifications since that video.. I need to finish some stuff and make more videos showing sooooo much POWEEEEEEEEEEEER ohhh yeaahh
Nice work, flip flops on the trial run..lololol
Your enthusiastic comments always get me laughing! Can we see a linelocker please 😁
Hahahahaa yeeeeeeaahhh mate... Yesterday I realised that this video is nearly completing its 3 years anniversary in January.. I guess I’ll have to make a burnout video to celebrate hahaaa ohhhh yeaaahhh
That would be awesome. I didn't realise you were in Australia. Me too. 🇦🇺
The sound of these motors are just amazing.. I like it really much, way more then of typciall hubbys..
Yeeeaahhh.. this triple motor setup is so freaking cool... that high pitch sound from 3x high rpm motors singing together are AWESOME!!!
Hub motors are powerful and have their place but.. ahh... I love my noisy machine hahhaa =]
The pedals are for when everything shorts out in the rain, to make it back home?
With all of these companies claiming to have the fastest e-bike,I'd pity them if you created a two wheeled version using military grade aluminum!This is 1 sick bike, keep up the good work!BTW,a company called Trifecta has a single side fork and swingarm, problem is it's $25,000!With all of the replies I've read,they're right on the money! If you ever built a two wheeled version, it's on my list!
Just buy an electric dirtbike. Ktm has a 40hp one that wont fall apart.
I'm thinking you need more grip :)
Good to see it rolling, looking forward to the next installment.
+EM3ev yeaahh the monster is rolling... did u see... I have more POWER than grip hahaha... I'm adding a super high current 30Ah pack hanging very low near the rear wheel. Im also installing a very advanced active BMS all made in Australia designed for electric vehicles and battery storage systems.. very interesting to see this all this technology on a small trike... =]
Deathtrap bro!!! Nice
Hahahaa hell yeaaahhh... that little toy is going to kill me!!!!
Some racing dudes and mechanics freaks tried and said that the acceleration is so ridiculous they never felt anything like this before hahaa so much POWEEEEEERRR ohh yeaahhh
wow thats pretty insane
+Samuel Chee haha... totally overkill... you can't ever have too much POWEEEEEERRR hahahaha
hey bro i hope you can help please im making a project but i need a motor that can go up to 70 miles per hour i just dnt know the electrical motor type or witch one i can use please reply
If I had a battery that contained 80volts 15ah and I wanted to use two 48volt controllers. low cut off is 41volts and max is 60volts each not sure for the let's say 40amps. One motor one throttle. Would the controllers burn out?
Wow I have no words other then wtf that's insane
+Psycho Skippy insanely scary to ride... rear wheel wants to overtake the trike at all time and this first test was only at 300A... new motorcycle racing battery is here and now I can unleash the 840A full power... I got a box of tyres to burn here hahahaha ...so much POWEEEEEERRR =]
Hope to see your new video with a big wheel behind to give nice performance on road really thank you
Haha - incredible. The comfort of a recumbent trike coupled with this electric lunacy. Holy Mother of God!
Hahahaha yeaaaahhh exactly I want to feel that mental acceleration... this trike is a side project that I’m slowly making and it’s taking so many years but worth the trouble hahaaaa just to prove that it’s possible to make something super high current and low voltage, super lightweight 35kg and stupidly powerful all in one toy hahahaa
Thats just mental! Really scary
+Lee AC yeaaahh... hahaha... as I pull the throttle I can feel the front wheels lifting and the rear wheel losing grip, in other words I have almost no control... super scary, adrenaline pumping every time I twist the throttle hahahaha... so much POWEEEEEERRR
Very powerful bike
So much POWEEEEEERRR ohhh yeaaahhh
I've said it elsewhere Electricbike is like E bikes on crack but in a good way. Luv it.
Hahahahahaha so true hahaha ElectricBike POWAAAAHHH ohhh yeaaahhh =]
Good lord someone has to do it...right! It’s the future wow!!!
Hi mate.. from Australia here.. Im trying to find the castle creations speed controllers you use that are 280amp? I can find them? Did you reprogram the 160amp HV model or something like that? Thank tom
Best video quality
How are you able to use an ESC which can only handle 160 amps at 280?
+applefanXXX great question dude... these ESCs can continuously handle 160A... on a bike or motorcycle is a completely different environment, loaded from start (very high current) then as you start moving the load actually decreases, so it's more like 280A massive burst instead, this gives time for the controller to cool... =]
how much would it cost to get one of these made? I'm interested in building one or getting one made< but I'm unsure to where to get the parts if I build it myself.
ide love to see a quarter mile test ride @the track safety gear is a must 4 driver & drive train.
I recognize that alley way. I live 2 blocks away!
Awsome!!!
Hello, I wanted to create an e-bike but I am completely lost!
Can I use an xt-90S connector instead of a circuit breaker switch with precharge?
Heeey mate.. let me help you haha..
The XT90s only works when you’re joining the connectors. Some people think by having an XT90S in line on the battery cable would work as a pre charge but it only works as a pre-charge during that very quick 0.5 -1second as you plug them together.
There’s a resistor inside the female connector connected to a small ring facing the outer side of the connector. The slower you connect them fully the better. The faster the more chances of getting a small spark inside the connector. The XT90s works well for RC applications but also works well for 60v and 20s 72v (84v max) is the limit for the anti spark to work. Above that voltage, controllers have some serious capacitor banks and you actually need a proper pre-charge solution.
Circuit breaker is a different story, they act like a resettable fuse. You can kinda get away using a normal 110-240v AC circuit breaker to manage the initial spark.. it works... not ideal but does the job + it’s an additional protection =]
@@BrunoPOWEEER Ouah ! Thank you very much for this very explicative answer!
aw yeeee POWEERRRRR
Did you make the bracket for the motors? or did you build it? Where did you buy it?
Sick!
That 300A device, so that it fits in your assembly, and where can I buy it, I'm from Brazil ... ??
Wow looks crazy fast
+Net Ten yeahhh this is going to get even faster with the new proper battery hahaaa
ElectricBike cant wait to see what u guys do next subd
Looks perfectly safe :]
I need a 300amp relay like that, I found one just like what you have but its only rated up 24v I need 88v
Yeahhh these DC ones are only rated for low voltage 12-24v... my trike is only 12s which is 50.4v max so not too bad but not ideal. Anything higher I wouldn’t use it. You need a proper contactor (a big relay). Look up for Gigavac and Kilovac brands, they can do crazy voltages. I recently fitted one in my trike replacing the 24v, the contactor is rated to 1000v 350A continuous (totally overkill) but they need 12 or 24 or 48v to activate the coil.
Hi, can you give us more detail regarding the throttle ?
Thank you
this is fast and furios, trike. awesome
+Djone Tan ohhh yeaaahh... so little... compact, lightweight but screams like a MONSTER and fly like a proper racing machine haha...=]
Wow. A house is wired for around 200 amps. So thats just nuts. Also, i want one
above all I find this very INSPIRING!!
Yeeeeaahhh.. thaaanks dude... this freak machine is keeping me busy for a looooong time... but its taking shape and coming together... looks more like a MADMAX thing than something suitable for road use but its just a fun prototype hahahaha... so much POWEEEEEEEEEEEERRR...
*next video showing some updates very soon =]
ElectricBike Imagine a trike with a longer arm for the rear wheel -> better acceleration possible!
+NikoxD93 yeaahh this is what I'm still trying to figure out... this trike is so low and super lightweight... I spoke to some automotive engineers and chances are that if I extend the rear it could get worse as there will be no weight at the rear... we are taking about making a completely new frame where we can calculate all these forces and possibly make a detachable rear end so we can try different lengths (slightly longer or shorter) and compare results... so much work and money but a lot of fun making this beast hahaa...
if you were to make a bike for a person that can use it mostly and get the most out of it what kind of a motor would you put on it and what kind of wheels and tires and why would you make it more likely like what you working on here or would you be able to stop all the time so the bh1000
Had to come back & see this beast again. Such a clean setup with the belt drive!
I'm wanting to give a 1960's trike (Gote Dune) a rebirth with E-Power. It will need some power to take on sand dunes. Unfortunately I'll have to stay away from belt drive because the sand would tear it up in short order. I'm thinking motorcycle chain & sprockets and a rear differential. Fortunately I'll have more room to work with over the rear dif. POWERRRRR!!!
Chris Duke hahaaaa don't give up on the belt drive.. make a protection so sand can't get in.. chain + sand = crumbed chain haha will rust badly.. I took my fatbike to the beach few times and my brand new chain aged 10 years haha
Chain is easier to setup but belt you set and forget, no lube no rust... I want another belt replacing that chain.
Do u have any photos or videos showing your 60's trike? Make something stupidly POWERFUL and send me a link haha.. so much POWEEEEERRR =]
Well, the ATV differential I plan on using is set up for chain. I'll be using a jackshaft with some sort of gearing. Probably only two or three gears, but I think a chain would be easier to do that with. I haven't figured out what to use for gears yet. I won't be using bicycle chain, so it should last a long time. I've had bad times with motorcycle belts in the rough. I can see driving all the way up to Pismo Beach & having a belt break. That would suck.
Brunoooooooo! I am waiting on the next video!
:O Congrats on your War-Bicycle....
That thing is stupid fast! lol
You are insane! In the best way!
+Dov Goldberg haha... insane is good... ohhh yeaaahhh =]
