I'd get heavy duty wheel bearings. I had a 2stroke pocket bike and replaced bearings all the time. Since your going a lot faster I'd replace wheel bearings with better ones. Awesome video 👍
I have a lot of Kobalt tool batteries and I was thinking about getting an electric scooter. The one I have my eye on is 36v. Is there a relatively easy way to get 36v out of these batteries for this? Maybe if I used 3 of them and stepped them down to 36v? I don't know enough about this stuff and I don't want to mess anything up. I've been watching your videos for a while and you're clearly very knowledgeable and intelligent. Either way, I really appreciate your work. It's informative and inspirational!
I have a rsf650 but the switch has 2 red thick wires running to it. I switched to lithium batteries n the switch burnt out. There's a thinner red wire in same harness so I cut it but current still ran to controller. Is that normal on rsf650?
You seem to have extensive knowledge about electric scooters. So I have a question. I have a Schwinn S500 scooter It has stock 24v controller and 24v 500 watt motor. I bought a 48v lithium battery thought I could easily install and over volt the system but the scooter won't even turn on with new battery? I checked with old 24v lead acid batteries that nothing wrong with scooter it's fine. I actually took the 48v battery and connected to my daughter's e100 24v razor scooter and WOW the wheel was spinning lol. I can't imagine a tiny 24v converter on a e100 will allow 48v but my 24v 500w scooter won't? Also I went to open the controller box in the s500 and it was filled with heat reduction resin so I can't even touch the board. Wondering is there a wire that is responsible for speed limiter and it won't allow 48v to go thru system? Or is there a way if I buy a 48v controller is there a converter to step the power down to 24v or 36v with my 48v battery? I'm very interested to hear your thoughts thanks
Yes that’s what I call cool as hell bro So it was 60v but using the 48v controller yes I got a scooter it’s running on 36v battery sometimes it’s up to 42v but I use 36v-48v controller, but I want to use more power say 60v so if your controller was ok I no that mine shod be ok at 60v. I put a new controller in there so now time for more power. Was just going to go to 48-52v but I don’t see y 60v shod be a problem. I think the competitors r about 62v I think my be wrong. The controller sites wear the battery was now and the battery I have made a packet for it so I can run what power or battery I like . Love the stuff u do bro ❤️🇬🇧
The typical limitation is 63v capacitors, which esyablishes an absolute max voltage (open circuit). Hot rodders have been swapping those for 80v and 100v ones for top speed, for a decade or more. Careful, tho: If voltage rises and amps stay the same, your wattage goes up!
I really don't know what to say to this -"i ride on this just fine" But the ride is never really the problem, it's the stopping. The really sudden stopping where the rider is roughly separated from the bike
You make a valid point. Of course, the most sudden kind of stop happens when your wheel goes into a large pothole. Happened to me on a 26"-wheel bike in 2020, doing just 15 km/h on Patton Street in Vanier. It was nighttime, and I didn't have adequate lighting on the bike. Painful!
Can anyone help with advice about E brakes hi & low please I I no low is pulled to ground and gives braking I am not sure if the hi brake gos to a 5v or 12v or what power u r using so 36v . Plus is there a difference in the power of braking between hi or low . I also want to us a hall thumb control for a break . But if the low just gos to ground and like using a switch it just iver on or off. I don’t see the point then. But if hi braking duz go to say 5v or 36v it would make sense to use a thumb controller as it starts at 0v then pulling it to 5v or 36v then u can control the power of the braking. Please please anyone help me as I don’t want to go to 36v hi and make smoke. I no it can go to 5v I no that but some say to get very strong braking then pull the 0v hi line to 36v battery and the braking is a lot better Can someone help
That was awesome as usual. I have a Bafang mid drive bike and going up a hill the motor gets hit to the touch. It seems to work fine. What is the spec for heat on motors. I remember on swimming pool motors, the label would say the allowable temp in centigrade. If I remember, they allow pretty high temps. Thank u for your fun and educational vids.
They can tolerate quite a bit of heat in a short amount of time. But this one can't last if I keep running it at almost 3 times the rated voltage. Heat is the number 1 enemy of motors especially brushed motors so I would do whatever necessary to lower the heat.
@@vuaeco How about pop riveting some more fins on the aluminum where they won't hit the tire. I think 60v is really pushing it even 48v might be too much.
Hard to answer this question because it depends on a lot of factors: speed, terrain, stop-and-go traffic... But in this case, if I just run flat out at 25MPH on that 48V 6Ah battery, I probably get about 6 miles max. A lot of power is wasted as heat in the brushed motor.
that perspective shift at the start was trippy
I appreciate your time in this video, thank you for posting it. I am shocked the original motor was able to withstand 60v

YOU HAD MY HEART BEATIN FAST--JUST FROM WATCHIN THE VIDEO!!
On heat sync, if you weld on some vertical pieces. Air will flow between them and cool motor better. Be careful no pieces are close to tire.
Dude this is Awesome!!! I enjoyed watching your video so much adrenaline!!!
Another interesting video that’s a fast little bike 👍🏻
nice tron analogy at the beginning!

where did you find that 2 phase controller ? every thing I find on amazon is 3 phase

Do this with a razor mx350. It will be more stable.
can you please list the link to the parts
Hello,
Do you have a link for the controller and throttle?
I have a rsf650 but the switch has 2 red thick wires running to it. I switched to lithium batteries n the switch burnt out. There's a thinner red wire in same harness so I cut it but current still ran to controller. Is that normal on rsf650?
Hi. Do you know how to take off and change the tire on this bike? Plzzz😊
Hello would could you post a link to we’re to buy the module thank you in advance

the ride is fine, the fall is not fine. Need a seat belt and an air bag.
Can we get the links to the products

Can someone help
This is very neat. Would be interesting with a 3000w BLC motor. At 48v or at 72v that would be insanely fun.
Or stupid or
So the 24v rated motor can handle the 60v load because of the new controller ?
Nah it would Definitely burn out
Haha....test pilot Jr is back, and u of course.....i bet the braking performance is abit lacking😆
You're absolutely right. It takes a while to get down to zero. :D
Btw nice job
Can you link me the controller

Amazing
I Wanna get one but they dont ship to sweden
How much run time? What’s the maximum distance can you achieve?

Awesome.
Is it 250 or 350 watt motor ?
Originally 24V, 10A so about 250W. Now it's 60V 15A so about 1000W continuous! It tops out at about 30A and that's 2000W max! :D
@@vuaeco so what’s the controller u used 48v but what 48v-72v or a 36v to 48v controller and pushed the power to 60v
I love to no
Hi boss I always watch your youtube I subscribe also and I think we are neighbor
Get a bigger one. I thought razor makes eletric dirt bikes.
