Folks, this video seems to be the default landing point for a lot of people who have just found the channel. I would encourage anyone new to the topic to please take the time to view some of the other videos in this and other conversion projects that I have done and also to consider visiting the openinverter forum for more information.

Hi got a question with the pedal accelarate. Where is the pedal control connected to the potentiometer control input going to the motor?

Loved this! You know it's a fun project when you can say "Jesus wept! This thing goes!!" Great video!

"No controller, no power brakes, and no power steering" Lets take this on the road what could possibly go wrong!

Dude, from one engineer to another, that was awesome! I now understand why my friends stand back when I throw the switch on my projects. Had tears in my eyes watching this; it was glorious. Carry on.

That got a bit wild! Congratulations on getting it running.

You are great , keep up the good work helping people getting ev's on the cheap .

Never a dull moment young Damien. I'll say that for you. Keep it up and well done so far.

Nice decent bang off that battery! Great to see the project making shapes! Looking forward to the next one!

I showed this to my mother and she couldn't breathe, you made our day!

You’re nuts! And this is crazy! I love it!! Congratulations!

Wow that's great,i never thought a simple 12v battery would propel that heavy BMW like that imagine what 24v would do. Love the video

You are fearless, man!!! "Happy launch Controling!!!"

I have watched all your videos and by far this one is my personal favorite. bless you for the effort, hard work and the patience. Cheers!

Girls and boys,that is how you test a dc motor car ,you test it on the go ,also most channel wont film this part of testing.This is something i will do,more fun when its not finish and you just testing it .Thanks for sharing

Awesome build, awesome video. Thank you for posting this, gives much insight into a budget ev build :D

Id like to see a video of the controler install :)

Woohoo, awesome stuff you crazy fella. Bloody brilliant Damien.

This video was worth the wait, congrats on a successful launch.

Excellent as always Damien. I thought the launch control was going to put you into warp speed for a minute there lol

Awesome! Love the custom coupler!

That was exciting to watch!

Hahaaa :D really awesome content not to mention how informative this is. Thank you for this build!

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Great Video good guy. I like how you stepped out of the box.

Yes it does seem to be the landing point but still a great point to come in on. Great job Damien.

Just discovered your channel! This is definitely going to be my "go to" EV info site!

Great job 👍🏻

Now you just need to install electric power steering pump and an electric vacuum pump for your brake booster. Awesome to see that this works. I've got an E36 sitting here with a perfect M52 and no plans for it. Bet I can sell the motor and fund an electric conversion (minus the battery)

i always love this generation jeeps, lightweight and lots of suspension travel, can't wait to see how the electric motor powers it!

Love it. Imagine if the terminals welded themselves together!

great work Damien. the test drive was hilarious lol thumbs up

Gorgeous...you can say that again... Great show man!!

Love it! Keep it going!

It was so funny and hilarious this video the time you put the dc series shunt motor direct connection. Sparks and that word Jesus wet. From Leon Guanajuato Mexico. Congratulations!!!!

Great job very impressed

Love the test drive part. This can be mee 🤣🤣 I'm having some much fun watching this. I'm thinking is there going to be a part two or will something go wrong before that.

Hi Damien, thanks for sharing! Was it just the camera angle - it looked to me like perhaps less than an inch of the spline would be engaged with your coupler? Is it enough meat, would you not run a risk of shearing it under heavier load?

Love your videos man!

Thank you for the video. I am researching constantly trying to find what motor and/or kit that’s best for what I need and was hoping you would be able to help me out? I am building my own project cart, that is pretty much a side by side but for riding and racing . I have educated myself I believe to no a lot but still can’t find the best fit for what I need (torque and different speed settings. I don’t no if you would have any clue but thought I’d try to ask for help but if not it’s okay. I don’t want to buy anything cheap and end up breaking , this will be expensive I’m sure which I no but I just want to figure what motor kit is best. Thank you either way

brilliant! good effort.

All these videos on you tube saying you must use 2 layer gloves. Have a person with a hook stick to pull you away and safey goggles etc. Damien puts battery in passenger seat and holds wire to connection. hehehe. Damien makes the world a better place.

Hi Damien. What was the original power of the forklift motor? And what voltage will you be driving it at... was looking at a 48v 12hp motor for a ford ka conversion

Off topic: this random video got send as notification on my android phone, but well, I'm not even mad

Could you give a bit more detail on how you weld the clutch part to the original motor shaft? How do you line it up so it is concentric?

Just close one eye and look at the center of two parts to check them to have the same center. Easy🤔

After installing the batteries you used for this conversion (that is "Red Arrow") what was the distance or maximum range of the vehicle? And why did you use such regular looking batteries?

I almost died at 22:39 ... XD Damien, you're a maniac - but please don't get insulted, I ment that in a very positive way. Now after this warmup "Launch control" session I have to watch a lot more of your videos! Keep up the great work, you are an awesome gentleman!

Awesome video! Very in depth! Honestly thinkIng about buying an old Beamer and ev concerting it in the future

Amazing and fantastic Documentary!it's!...Great Engineering Technology!Technic!!!Nic's T 'll be so Jelly!!!

Will the gearbox grind when changing gears if there's no clutch to disengage the motor?

Do your normally fit a controller with something that avoids full, ungoverned power in reverse? That was slightly mad. Well done.

Damien, great video, this time even very entertaining (E-Madman is your new nickname). But, please, be safe. Thanks a lot.

Great job. Really awesome, i am sure you had taken care of the grub screws. I likee the idea of usong thread lock on all the bolts. Would it be good to seal both the faces on the bell housing and the motor with gasket seal for betterment?

hahaha this is excellent! love it you got my sub!

Awesome! Woohoo indeed. Great to see it actually being done, not just before and after :) Is it vital for the aluminium plate to be so thick, or what would a minimum be? Good tip on getting the knockoff plate. Would it be worth adding to the mount plate an extra flange at the top with a hole to hang it from while installing?

That was brilliant. Impressive how it just lifts like that, but then yeah, no controller. What sort of top RPM could be reasonably expected from the fortlift motors you've had?

That was hilarious. Love it

I've never seen anyone just put the miter cable on the live terminal by hand without a controller, lol Great work

tread lock? is that the stuff they use to put new soles on wellies?

How much KW?

Cracked me up well done mate !

This video will be a classic

Wait so does the manual gearbox work?? Can you shift is my question lol.

excellent work.....you madman ;-)

ok...like ah...we need a controller Houston! great video mate!

Brilliant.

What do u connect the power steering n break hydraulics too?

Good job...

Tremendous!

This is great man keep up the good work! Also in your motor controller build instructional video could you make a 1000amp controller for those of us who need more power but on a budget?

eBay Amazon, Craigslist, local forklift places.

No controler, no power brakes, no power steering and plenty of ozone... I subscribed.

Could you use an altimeter to keep battery charged

how much does it coat for ev motor ?

What amperage does this motor draw from the 25v Tesla battery?

what motor did you use?

What you’ve achieved is amazing so far. Do you have any thoughts on the potential range with that size of Tesla battery for the 3 series BMW or is it still too early to say...?

That was only a test. Same as the 12v battery used earlier in the video. In a previous episode, you will find that a Chevy Volt/Vauxhall Ampera pack will be the final power source.

It is really important to install a clutch on a mechanical transmission, to separate the power of the motor transferred to the gearbox, this to have control of the speeds

Mad mad!

💪💪

Please give me the parts list :) the ev motor battery pacj and so on. Thanks

Dude, you are really lucky your "Controller" did not weld shut and made you kill somebody. Because when you put high current between two small spots of metal - it is called spot welding.

This is brilliant man. Where can I buy the motor and Tesla module? Many thanks love your vids

Is it the same process for a auto gearbox?

Hello budy, how are you? I hope so, yes! I would like to know the value where can I get this engine ???

Muhahah! Aaarrg!....😁👍 very awesome dude! I like it!

Personally i would install the clutch so you cut power to the wheels for take off, my opinion is having a clutch you won't need ebrakes. That's how i will build when i do a e car build

This is freaking cool. I actually have a BMW 325 ci that I’m ready to take outback and shoot. I hate that cars cooling system so much. Right now overheating and shutting down. Wondering if I could convert to electric and found your video. Need to see the rest. Good work so far

How many hp or what is the rating?

Need to get those brakes and accelerator worked out. Stat.. this is awesome.

This needs a spring rectractable potentiometer and a lot of mosfets with capacitors paired within contained within a box to be compact.

Curious, looking at diving in and considering a warp 9 in a vow big, no ac no power steering. Looking for a daily driver, just a commenter, but need to drive 90 miles (45 miles each direction). The question, can I use lithium, drive it nice and slow and work it out? Or do I need to spend the money for an AC motor and take advantage of lower energy usage in an AC environment. Target vehicle 66 bug.

You just need enough battery storage. Probably around 30-40 kwh for round trip. Only about half needed if you can charge at the office.

Is that battery not providing just 20 Volt's?

Doing a big catch up on older posts. LOL I thought, wonder if he’s going to try it, yes you did! Caveman EV. Literally crying with laughter!

What kind of motor that big?works?with a 12 volt battery car?...can you send me the motor data to be capable to work with the battery that you are using?very fantastic project.thank you so much
