Enjoyed the adaptation of the chainsaw hack. To be honest many of these electric tool battery packs would benefit any electric bike on the market. 40v for any of the 36v bikes or the 56v with the 48v. Although the 60v packs would need an upgraded controller but I do believe they sell speed controllers that will do both 48v and 60v same with the 36v/48v . Thanks for sharing
I was planning on going with the 80v version but my friend was talking about torque. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any place that shows the torque even the store that sells it. They cover volts watts milliamps amp hours ohms but nothing about torque.
actually watched for ideas for a young female relative to ride to school because there's age limits on gas power stuff but electric is ok so it's a kiddy application really , a few school children ride epower bikes, scooters ,thanks
I was thinking this same idea but if possible I'd like to add a solar panel to charge it. But I bet it'd take a solar panel the size of a school bus and charging in the sun for 6 months to be able to charge that 4o volt chainsaw to run the bike for just 20 minutes
I'm planning on doing this but I want to put a big gear where the chainsaw gear is and just put the chain on the small gear but I'm not sure if it will have the torque to keep me at speed once I petal to it.
This chainsaw has an automatic cut out when it encounters too much resistance. The roughly 20 to 1 ratio I had seem to be the sweet spot for takeoff and acceleration but not great for top end. You could go lower with the gear ratio which will give you a higher TopSpeed but the chainsaw might cut out at low speeds so you would definitely have to always pedal first. Good luck!
The 20v will be very underpowered but it can still be done. You may have to adjust the gear ratios to make up for lack of torque. Good luck with the build!
Impressive im sure its better than it’s normal purpose lord knows its sux as a wood cutter i have a few Ryobi 52cc chainsaw laying around lets see if it works in the same principle but gas powered
It can be a bit tricky but with a little ingenuity and motivation I’m sure you can do it. Lucky for you I have multiple chainsaw bike videos that might help guide you. Good luck
The problem with that is your gear ratio. It would create a low gear ratio and burn out your chainsaw clutch. You will need a large sprocket on the wheel or a jack shaft in between.

What a simple add on with no major tools required to make it work. Excellent.
could you add the gear ratio's that you used in this experiment, together with information about power use and max speed? that would be awesome :)
You have a very unique way of achieving things like the chain tensioner(s).
I'll try you out.
Good job, bro!
Thumbs up
Such a bad ass build. And it really seemed to get up and move!!
I just acquired a very nice stihl electric chainsaw and this is exactly what I was thinking I could do with it.
It a fun little project and fun to ride good luck
ths been on my mind u never went searching lol,,an bam,,,,,thy say it cant b done well ya just saw a master smith,at work love yr show
I’m glad you enjoyed, I’m building an updated version right now should be out soon thanks for watching!

JGD16 is back! Dude, that's a sweet build. It's elegantly simple! Awesome work. And was that a 3D pen??
Thanks! Yes that was a 3-D pen I’ve finally come over to the Darkside. No more welding for me. Thanks for the pen recommendation

That's a finger chopper wow! Nice power though! :)

What's maximum milage on one fully charged battery? Like full throttle, and part time pedaling? Tnx.
I can get around 15 minutes fully on the motor so you can extend it as much as you want to pedal
how fast does it go
What distance are you getting from a charge?
Not sure about distance but a charge last about 10 to15 minutes depending upon how it’s driven

love it all except one tiny thing... that loose shirt tail is hanging so close to that open gear with loads of torque
Fast ebike lots of power
What is its top speed ?
I'm planning on doing this but I want to put a big gear where the chainsaw gear is and just put the chain on the small gear but I'm not sure if it will have the torque to keep me at speed once I petal to it.

cool! .. go greenworks!
Thanks! Currently working on an upgraded version. Stay tuned!
@dave himlin 80volt version ruclips.net/video/vI2vmVrrZV0/видео.html
What kind of run time do you see with this?
Your awesome
Cool cool cool
The chain tensioner always goes on the slack side of the chain!
Do you use the chain oiler compartment
No it’s not used. There is no need for the chain oiler
Where did you get the sprocket for the chainsaw?
This is how I made the sprocket ruclips.net/video/t_g_sY0ZAmI/видео.html
Do you think a 20 volt chainsaw would still work?
The 20v will be very underpowered but it can still be done. You may have to adjust the gear ratios to make up for lack of torque. Good luck with the build!
How long battery lasts
About 15 minutes
Brilliant
Why dose it look so easy to do i might try to do thats to my bmx bike
I tried keeping the build as simple as possible but most things on RUclips seem easy until you try it for yourself
I bet you still get plenty of requests for kit builds though right :)
So how far per charge and with what AH battery? Half tempted to sacrifice my Milwaukee m18 to try this haha
It has a 40v 4 amp hour battery. It was lasting somewhere between 15 and 20 minutes depending upon how hard you drive it.
@@JGD16 and how far is that? what is the speed?
@@Studio7g I never checked the top speed but I would estimate close to 20 mph so that would put the range somewhere around 5 mile
Impressive im sure its better than it’s normal purpose lord knows its sux as a wood cutter i have a few Ryobi 52cc chainsaw laying around lets see if it works in the same principle but gas powered
I want to build a chainsaw bike with a gas chainsaw but ive never done anything like that. Is it hard?
It can be a bit tricky but with a little ingenuity and motivation I’m sure you can do it. Lucky for you I have multiple chainsaw bike videos that might help guide you. Good luck
Would it work if I ran the chain directly to the gears already on the bike? I noticed you usually add a sprocket on the opposite side.
The problem with that is your gear ratio. It would create a low gear ratio and burn out your chainsaw clutch. You will need a large sprocket on the wheel or a jack shaft in between.
Ok! Wish me luck
I know where to come if I have questions
What about the battery time?
Please notice 🙂
It was about 15 minutes give or take a few depending on driving style
Cool.
Kinda crude but it works. I wouldn’t destroy a good chainsaw to make one though.
Sounds like an Audi Quattro
best part of the vid was the chic
