Home Made 6 Speed Electric Dirt Bike - Part 1
Ойын-сауық
In this video we are building another electric dirt bike, this time we are modifying the dirt bike engine and installing the electric motor into the engine so therefore we can still have the 6 speed transmission and clutch.

I'm a gear technician, and I've been machining gears for 36 years, mostly spiral bevel hypoid gearing, but also some parallel axis gears like you're making. You typically want .005-.006" backlash between your gears, and the idler gear is usually adjustable between the fixed axis gears. A sliding arbor on a T slot would work. Good video, and keep challenging yourself!

Лучше вместо коленвала прямой вал, а со стороны генератора зубчатые шкивы для зубчатого ремня. Надёжнее и передаточное число можно выбирать

Hurts me too man. I am not a fan of this whole electric motor thing and I'll never own or operate anything EV. If it's not running on dino juice I don't want any part of it. But I guess it's pretty cool what he's doing just not my thing.

Hate to say it but with the speed battery tech is advancing now because of the war between EV car manufacturers for your $ these types of bikes are the way of the future and i can see most gas bikes gone in another 20yrs or so.

Everyone said that when they rode on a locomotive and threw firewood into the firebox))) And talked on a wired telephone or sent carrier pigeons You're not going anywhere! After all, you travel by train and it is often already electric and there is no dinosaur juice)))) Все так говорили когда ездили на паравозе и кидали в топку дрова ))) И говорили по проводному телефону или посылали почтовых голубей Никуда ты не денешся! Ведь ты ездите на поезде а он зачастую уже на электротяге и никакого сока динозавра ))))
Also, I just wanted to say that you have come a long way from small jacked up carts super slow to being able to build anything you set your mind to. From fluxcore wire to mig and tig. Also your projects are freaking awesome now. Your ability to work from a shed blows my mind. I can't wait to see you get your shop. I believe you will be limitless. Hat's off to ya buddy.
I’m loving those 90s style graphics!
On another note, it's very cool to see you push yourself out of your comfort zone. Very refreshing
I remember about 10 years ago I used to watch a kid on KZread who made all kinds of sketchy motorized things from whatever junk he could find lying around. I wonder what that guy's doing now. 😉 (Be proud, you've come a long way!)
You are becoming quite a bad ass fabricator! Excellent work!
those shots of the cog teeth being cut were mesmerizing :)

I'm not to that part yet... I can't wait!
This man’s talent is off the hook ! Most raw talent I’ve seen on Social Media. Leonardo da Vinci of mechanical engineering! Amazing
This was my favorite video you have done. I can see your confidence growing, i see you not worrying as much about what your viewers are going to say. Your tools are getting better, your knowledge and experience is growing. All is all you are killing it. Keep it up. May god bless your future.
It will be interesting to see how you maintain the oil bath that the clutch and gears have. Thanks for the videos! 👍👍

That's what I was wondering too!
Brilliant attitude and effort. Lets hope this build is reliable and goes amazing. Thankyou for all your time and work and keeping the fans entertained ❤
I love the idea of using the gears and clutch. Having a clutch is such a huge part of getting a bike through corners fast. I'm definitely looking forward to this project!
I'm properly impressed with this challenge! I'm a toolmaker with 25 years of time behind me and the effort you just put into something in order to just teach yourself something is worthy of massive respect. 👏👏👏
Love this!!! So happy to see an electric bike build!
More B-reel! You are honestly the most humble fabricator out there.. showing us your mistakes, since we all make them…
This is both insane and awesome. After watching you run 5 miles of chains, im super happy to see you are doing it this way!
You never cease to impress with your ability to research, design, and create. You sure have come a long way in the last few years. I very seldom miss a video. Great job on the gears so far. Looking forward to the next episode. 👍
It's amazing the vast amount of tool types you have, I've been putting my shop together little by little for years now and I clearly have a loooooooong way to go. you have everything a guy could want in your shop. I don't really think people know or appreciate the amount of time, effort, and MONEY it takes to set up a good shop like you have, not to mention the brains to even put it all together and know what you need. You sir have earned yourself a new fan!
I'm so impressed Chris. What a challenge
Awesome work… your machining skill has blown my mind… great work!
Thats what i like to see, That 'Lets give it a go' attitude. Top job Chris.
I'm intrigued. Looking forward to part 2.
I have followed you for a few years, and I find it impressive that you started out with a lady that you built yourself, and it progressed all the way into a competent machinist
This should be on KZread trending!
This one brought me back. This is a cool build.
You always keep amazing me Chris. Anxious to see how the gears work.
Electric is here to stay, once I see you are tackling more electric projects. Definitely watching this one closely with lots of interest (and enjoyment)

That’s gonna be a crazy build !!!
Wow, Chris, you're an awesome fabricator. It's so cool that you build all your toys instead of buying them. Fantastic video
Just the thing I needed to watch that helped me truly relax and wind down.
Ive been watching your videos since you first had the series on your homemade lathe. It inspired to try and make one of my own. You have serious skills in the world of machining and I respect your humble approach towards learning. Keep it up!
Wow dude, Super precise work. Very tallented
your work is always fun to watch i admire it !
Can't wait to see how this turns out. That's some impressive home machining.
This is the first time I've ever seen your videos and I got to say you're doing exactly what I wish to be doing I'm sitting here at work in front of my machine finish grinding a huge Arbor and as I make passes back and forth it's been a lot of fun and a learning experience watching you make your gears and what not.
Brilliant attitude and effort 🙂
You are very creative Chris. I love your projects. Keep up the good work!
This was really entertaining ! Electric conversions are awesome and you doing great job, I hope those new gears won't brake apart at high rpm...execellent idea !
I never imagined it this way, I already think it's fantastic
I really admired your thinking outside the box for making due with your gear cutter and your idea for refining the cuts to final depth!
Man I love your content Chris but when you are machining and creating are by far my favourite videos love it 🥰🥰
I found this channel all the way back when you were building a gingery lathe, it’s been wild watching your channel grow and seeing all the projects you’ve tackled. I’m excited to see this build completed!

Such a great video!! I luv that you push yourself… I like learning and seeing new things. I see some channel’s in this space and they just booger weld junk together and sad enough they have more subs, perplexing. 🤷♂️ I am happy for them but it amazes me you don’t have more!!! Good job brother!!
Nice to see u challenging yourself, to me thats what life is all about!
Thank you for showing the process 🤙 i learn alot watching you!
Amazing, you really blow my mind with what you can do. Truly inspiring content. Been watching your channel for a long time now, keep it up! Amazing work.
O HELL YES.... He's revisiting the electric dirt bike. 😃👏👏👏 Thank you RBW... 😊👍❤ Edit: A little surprised he hasn't found the Electro and Co 72v YZ85 and YZ250 conversion kits yet... It's the same motor and stuff but they have the mounts and stuff too so it would be easier to convert. Edit 2: This Old Tony did a great video on gear cutting and heat treating... He gives a lot of good information on how to cut gears, the correct cutters and how to harden and heat treat them, I suggest if you're interested in making gears at home that you check it out. 😁👍
I have dreamed of doing this exact same thing! Awesome video!
Great work Great thinking 🧐
This is a cool project!
I wish i could build stuff like you do, I have quite a few projects that i have built myself using simple tools but I'd like to get more advanced. I have been watching you for quite a long time. You have been a major inspiration for me. Edit: Im loving the electric vehicles you build as well.
such a good video, I really enjoyed this one!
Really great eatch, every time I see that lathe on action and your ability to yse it improve I thank the generous donation. Another cool approach to maybe consider machining side plates,as crankases to take the original bearings, gear shafts clutch basket, crankshaft output gear, mount electric motor etc.
I still don’t understand how you don’t have Millions of subscribers!!! You are literally a genius at figuring things out! Thanks for the videos they make my week easier knowing your next video is on Sunday night! Thanks!
30:23 *Once it's ready, it's best to immediately burn it until it's hot and then soak it in salt water before using it so that the quality of the gear is as strong as steel 👌* 31:26 *Not only is it easy to order and buy the gear we want, but here you give an example of learning how to make gear to educate the audience who want to learn to use a lathe, good job Chris..*
Estas muy loco!! Cosa que me encanta!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Bro this is such a radd project. Love that you’re doing this way. This is going to pave the road for the e-bike future. Simply just recycling blown engines and making a beastly e-bike with gears lol. Hell yeah bro. Your a absolute legend 🤘🏽✊🏽🤙🏽
NEW RATHER B WELDING UPLOAD LETS GOOOOO
This is the kind of content I enjoy watching...
Dang impressive gear making!
truly impressive
Great content Chris! The new project looks like one you will get a lot of usage out of. Lots of folks can throw money at a project, not many have the skills and mindset to DIY from from to back.
Nice job on the gear!
Ahh yess I needed this!
Great job on cutting that gear
Very nice machine work my friend.
Your precision is amazing! Wait, you’ve gotta do a second one? More patience than I’ve got!
Wow Chris. Stepping up your game bro. Good job man. I work as a machinist and I gotta say your getting there,
nice work on that gear
I really like that you are taking the hard way! Crazy that I’ve seen you make your own lathe and now you are making gears. Badass brother
You’re videos are doing really well congrats
Very good machining,man👍
Every time I doubt this guy he proves me wrong and amazes me….
This is a great project, I love That your not afraid to try idears out your skills are never ending and your willing to put the work in so that your projects are a success I love your videos keep them coming man
The easy way or the hard way man, that came right from the 80' dude
Sweet love your videos
Interesting project! I will follow up.
nice work
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
The gear machining was pretty impressive my dude!
cant wait for this project
Thanks!
Love the electric conversion content, you got me into wanting to try a swap for myself. I’m currently working on converting my 1990 Yamaha YSR50 to electric. I ordered a QS138 70A motor, Votol EM260 controller and a 76v 48ah battery from Electro and Co and should hopefully see a peak of 28KW. It’s going to be street legal so I’m upgrading all the lights and horn to a 12v system (previously 6 volt) using a DC-DC converter and an Ultima Plus wiring harness. Keep up the great work!
I have built custom electric e-bike and I like more the electric one over combustion engines. Eagerly waiting for the next episode of your build.
👍👍👌 very good job !!
Harder is always better and this is awesome.....
I love it! I have an electric RMZ450.
excellent video
that motor/trans layout is soooo similar to a radio control car transmission. so cool
Love you projects ❤
Well done ! you made a fantastic gear there ! my first attempt of gear making was much less sophisticated.... a fly cutter on a 3 in one lathe /mill from HF.... it took days !!!! but the gear is in my logan lathe even now 7 years later ! i made the cutter out of a flat file...believe it or not and it worked great.... the gear is aluminum but as I guessed it would last me ages and it has !
Yesssssssss, not sure if the gears are needed but a freakin clutch is what's missing in all commercial electric offerings. Nobody seems to understand the control a clutch is giving to the rider. Awesome build project, really skillfull and impressive. And finally a Suzuki without kickstarter 😂
well done sir!
Nice, should be great when it's finished.
Great project😊😊😊😊
Was literally just asking for something electric a few videos back. Awesome!
I'm part appalled al what you've done to such a beutiful 2 stroke engine but very excited tk see how this turns out! Great work!!
