    I also thought that there might be a way such as this, but then I thought maybe he didn't because the potentiometer on the grip might of been incompatible with the servo due to different resistance values. Anyway I think that Tom and his pals solution is a far more elegant way of doing it.

    Just a few tips Tom, you might want to try to mount that motor behind the seat below your throttle chip controller but have the motor turned 180 degrees & swap the wires so that it runs in the correct rotation. Also you should make up other size wheel sprockets to get a higher speed example one that is 2/3 the diameter of the black main sprocket on the wheel. Look into making the sprocket thinner by thinking about a V-Belt that is a V-Belt Drive Belt, they look like a cross between a V-Belt & the Timing Belt you are using. That way you should be able to fit both disk break & pulley. You will need to put in aluminium spacers rings that fit over the disk break bolts so that you put these through the plastic pulley so when you tighten the bolts you don't crack the pulley, the spacer only acts to keep the pulley in the right place. These spacers are like spacers on a chainring for a double or triple crankset but they are 5mm. You can easily order longer M6 stainless steel bolts that use a hex key instead of the star key that you can. These adjustments will make it go speeds of 60-80km/hr or 37-50mph & because you will only use the throttle when you have got your bike up to about 32km/hr or 20mph then you can take your bike long distance if you have spare battery packs in your backpack or if you have a pannier rack on the back. Also you could incorporate a solar panel to charge your battery pack as using it giving you longer range. If you can get 2 of those 10 watt china made You can try these new mods on the next bike you work on which might be a 30 speed touring bike etc. Drive belt idea example only www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gates-V-Belt-Drive-Belt-11A1140-x-1-/201706569798?hash=item2ef6a60046:g:CRIAAOSwcUBYGZw4 6mm Inside Diameter sleeve bearing for plastic sprocket mounting M6 bolts for disk breaks www.ebay.com.au/itm/4-Pcs-5mm-Length-x-8mm-OD-x-6mm-Bore-Silver-Tone-Plain-Sleeve-Bearing-/331652031106?hash=item4d38006282:g:rFYAAOSw4CFYuJga 20W 13.6V Solar Panel 1.4 amp Size: 435*280mm This one is a mono flexible panel www.ebay.com.au/itm/10W-To-100W-12V-Mono-Semi-Flexible-Solar-Panels-Caravan-Motorhome-Boat-RV-/252598378045?var=&hash=item3ad0095e3d:m:mK4JyOI_G54pApyXuJZ5-Zg 12v 10a Lithium Battery Charger www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-10A-Lithium-Battery-Solar-Charge-Controller-Charger-Black-English-Manual-/112382752201?hash=item1a2a88b5c9:g:AoUAAOSwRUhY~h1f

    I'm usign this design for a while now! I appreciate the simple design because when I was looking for an eBike conversion kit I couldn't find any for my fixed gear. I've found some issues, and I got solutions for: #0 the grains are not sufficient to hold the pulley on the motor; fix: make a groove on the shaft for the grains #1 the belt wear off pretty quickly; fix: buy some more belts as spare #2 the belt tensor inner part has broken; fix: substitute it with a brass one #3 the bike can't go without battery (because the motor starts when pedalling and oppose force); fix: put a light weight low capacity battery if you want to ride as a normal bike, then you just don't accelerate #4 the motor get hot; fix: mill an alluminium support for the motor #5 using an ESC the bike can't start when standing still; fix: put three hall sensors in to the motor and install an eBike controller P.S.: Be patient for errors, English is not my main language... ;)

    I built one of these years ago. If you gear an internally geared hub and run the power through the chain you get all the advantage of gearing. Plus you can hide the motor in the width of the bike. I originally had a derailer on it, but the motor kept making the chain jump during gear shifts. Mine's mounted on a folding bike that I can take on our commuter rail even during peak periods.

    I would rather use some kind of freewheel, instead of directly attached pulleys and ditch the regenarative breaking, because: 1. With your setup when you stop applying power the motor rapidly becomes a dynamo and stops the bike, so it is bad for milage 2. Because of 1. the belt could slip and wear faster 3. Regenerative braking with your current setup is dangerous, because, even that you are using ESC that supports it, you have the 6 cell lipo connected directly trough the non-balanced main battery leads which should be used only for discharging. Chargibg should be done trough the balanced leads instead, otherwise the battery will disballance and you might damage it, or get it on fire on some steep downhill. 4. ESC gets hot during climbs and even hotter during regenerative braking on downhills and may not have enough time to cool down and melt the case. 5. Number 4 pretty much applies to the battery as well, but it seems pretty well-rated one

    You could've taken the easy way around the analog to digital conversion and just bought a servo-tester for RC servos. You could have removed the potentiometer in the servotester and soldered in the wires from your throttle. And that box is probably not water proof at all. You need to cover the cirquits in liquid tape or other insulating sticky stuff aswell as using a rubber grommit or silicone sealant, but you'll find that out soon enough and you can make improvements :)

    If you're using arduino, analogRead() is good enough to get a digital value by itself, otherwise look up the data sheet of whatever chip you're programming (I'm assuming you're using a chip since you asked for code), most of them have an ADC built in. The code consists of setting the prescaler bits in the ADC register of the chip, and then enabling the ADC clock. Then you can read the value put into the corresponding register. Should be roughly the same for whatever you're using. I used AVR (the same chips in arduino controllers). This is a good tutorial if you're not familiar with the type of chips I'm guessing Stanton's EE friend might have used for analog to digital signals which require coding: www.avrfreaks.net/forum/tut-c-newbies-guide-avr-adc?page=all

    google "arduino servo knob" This is not really how you typically write code but I cramp everything in one line of code. (not good coding practice) It read the potentiometer value that is varies from 0 to 1023 and scale it back to 0 to 179 then write it to the servo motor. void loop() { myServo.write(map(analogRead(potPin),0,1023,0,179)); delay(10); } ----- EDIT -- here is the basic code you will find online // include the servo library #include Servo myServo; // create a servo object int const potPin = A0; // analog pin used to connect the potentiometer int potVal; // variable to read the value from the analog pin int angle; // variable to hold the angle for the servo motor void setup() { myServo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object } void loop() { potVal = analogRead(potPin); // read the value of the potentiometer // scale the numbers from the pot angle = map(potVal, 0, 1023, 0, 179); // set the servo position myServo.write(angle); // wait for the servo to get there delay(15); }

    great video guys. well worth watching. you took a lot of the mystery out of ebikes for me. I know people who have paid $5000 for things to do the same, and $1500 for conversions of mtb's. the only reservations I'd have would be of how far laterally the motor protrudes to the left.

I used servo motor control circuit, I rotate the knob then it produce little sound for 3 sec. then it start. Is there any circuit which start the motor immediately without delay. Thanks for sharing information.

Brexit will allow the UK to set its own rules soon, I hope we can get the limit up from 250w to maybe 750w like the states. All I have read says regeneration is not worth the effort - my plan is to have a small diesel or petrol generator charging a battery 'off line' :)

    Excellent project very neatly carried out. I keep trying to think of a reason to buy a 3D printer perhaps this is it. I've very recently converted my wife's bike to electric assistance using a commercial available system. This uses front wheel drive and a pedal assist feature which can be varied in steps depending on how steep the hills are. I'm about to convert my own bike too. We're experienced cyclists and it's our age (late 70s) that's making us resort to artificial means :) The system we're using is from Cyclotricity and is around £500 so yours is much cheaper (we already had the bikes). A complete front wheel with motor hub is only £129 so it might be worth looking at for future projects but the motor is 36v/250w. Just a warning. The legal limitations on electric propulsion for public road use of pedal cycles in the EU are for a max power of 250 watts (less than than my aeroplanes!) and 25kph (15.5 mph) so be careful! I also think having a simple throttle rather than pedal assist (which is a bit more sophisticated) may be legally problematic as well but not sure. Great project though and it does you credit. Good luck with your studies.

    The speed controller takes PWM which is an analog signal since the information is in the variable time between two signals. As I understand there are Multi copter ESCs that take digital input named "Dshot" . Keep up the good work.

    Great job. I'm sure the esc cost a pretty penny but it looks like a nice setup. I doubt you'll have any over-heating issues, considering the size of the heat sink on the esc, however you could always turn the esc around so the heat sink is facing forward and getting hit with direct air as you move forward. Keep up the good work and keep the build videos coming. I'm sure the 4 of you could come up with some pretty neat stuff as aspiring engineers. 👍

    Pretty neat project. The "throttle" handle you would essentially just take and make a variable resistor/capacitor circuit and something between it and the controller since you said PWM, most brushless DC motors can have a controller like that but it's interesting what you can do with microcontrollers these days like your friend using an Arduino. The cooling fan was a wise idea but I wonder if there's a way to make a protective cage for it as well if you were to wipe out causing damage to the motor... or maybe making a helically cut bevelled gear setup instead of the belt. Granted, the geartrain would be somewhat heavier and noisier than the belt but at least your motor isn't sticking out like a sore thumb.
