Illegal 3000W 72V E-Bike Build
Ойындар
Putting together a 3000W rear hub drive electric bike. 16AH 72V battery. It is illegal to use on public roads in most countries. This one will be used off road only. The most important part of this build is the custom torque arms. With this much power, the small torque arms can snap the dropouts on this frame that was never designed to have power put through it like this at 11:17. From stop, if you twist it to 1/4 throttle or more, the bike will pop the front wheel up and flip you over. It is very unsafe, I wouldn't recommend doing this build to anyone, it just doesn't make sense.

Pedal assist sensor goes on the other side of frame on the non-drive side of the cranks.
I put basically the same motor on a stealth type frame in 2021 (3000w) and I love it. It's my daily driver...weather permitting. The frame is quite heavy of course but I decided to go for something that absolutely wouldn't fatigue over time. I wish more people could experience how much fun these big motors are, thanks for posting.
Nice video! I used UPP cell batteries on my ebike and atv, and they are extremely well built as seen in tear-downs. Highlighy recommended. They make universal tq arms I show in my bike video. Yours are gnarly, and in a good way- should have room to grow with that setup; thank you!

Others I've purchased have came w wrong power supply, have shody wiring or BMC failed. And even more I've purchased were actually UPP batteries rebranded.

Nice build! Very similar to my bike.
I made my torque plates and bolted them straight into the frame. 10000 watt hub and controller. 84v main and 12 vt booster all together 96v
4:22 Very good point to check. I was in the same trouble. I had to grind and reshape dropout too. Very hard.
I never had problems with my axel drop out. Only made one side torque arm set up
Nice ebike build. I do like your take on the torque arms. Have you modified the current shunt on the controller for more output?
@porkercon
Жыл бұрын
It is modified to have less output.
You should be able to swap the 5 speed cassette with an 8 speed one and have it take up the same amount of space. The 8 and 5 speed are the same size, just on the 8 each chainring is closer together. Edit: Also, pretty sure the pedal assist sensor goes on the opposite side of the cranks to the front cassette.
thank you for this video, I am going to be building my own ebike from scratch, so I will make my own frame, do you know how far the brake disk mount is from the centre of the wheel, and what is the width of the tyres? thanks

I have a 1500W/52V kit (does about 1750W fully charged), you're gonna need at least 1 torque arm, or it might spin out of the fork at full power...perhaps not directly, but certainly over the months. I haven't removed my wheel in 2 years since I built it If you're gonna use regen braking, you might even need two torque arms, as the force applied reverses when braking.

6:00 If they had stored the velcro straps wrapped around the bag as apposed to around itself it would have been more obvious how they are supposed to be used to secure the bag. The velcro goes on top. at 6:13 you have the bag upside down trying to install the bag as though you'd be wearing it as a fanny pack. The vecro goes from the top, around the bag, under the panier, back up around the bag to the top.

Use Common Sense, don’t risk your life. This is essentially an electric motorcycle on a bike frame. The bike frame is not made for this kind of power. This is one of those things where… you don’t do it just because you Can!! I will also point out that the kit is not waterproof and subject to uncontrolled running away if it gets wet!
Yes friendly advice you can't stick pieces of metal on top of weak metal and claim that is strengthened it because it won't what you've done without sounding rude is you bogged it what you should really do is cut the whole part out and put in stronger metal you're basically Dublin the speed of the bike but you're not doubling the strength of the frame to carry that and you will pay the consequences because you'll start cracking Worlds stability at high speeds my device is cut the whole back part out and easy peasy to world of fresh bit in you can weld it wider to fit the wheel in and you can weld it stronger which will last and will be a solid piece of metal always always uses less metal as possible because that's where your strength comes not by putting one piece on top of another piece unless it runs down the whole length of the frame good luck don't gamble your life on I'm sure that'll be alright

@porkecon is right because these hub motors are not powerful enough to rip apart whole rear triangle of aluminum mtb frame. These torque arms ar mainly to strengthen dropouts because without toque arms you will break original dropout slots when accelerating and motor will rip off it's own wires😂 cool project btw
I never understand why people say things like “1000w , 3000w, 5000w ebike” as if that’s what type of power they are pushing. These numbers are the potential power if you have that type of power to send to it. Yes 72v at 24ah could produce 1728w. But that controller and the thin gauge wire would never push higher than 200w. And if your battery has a BMS, it is definitively limiting you to around 10a max All this before it hits the controller. That controller is limiting your actual power. Without a doubt. A real 1000w to the hub motor light bike frame wouldn’t be able to lock a tire on the pavement. At 200w you should be able to pull 70. At 1000w you should be over a hundred.

"72v at 24ah could produce 1728w" Nope this means the battery has a capacity of 1728 Wh. It has to do with range not power. The amperage of that FAT battery is much more than 24 amps (probably at least 80 amps). I think the battery and this motor are a good match.

@@speedsterh If we are assuming this is a real 3000w motor, then it would need 42a to reach its potential energy. Looking at the bike, wiring, even from the motor to the controller, its way too thin guaged to handle that power. It would over heat, short, melt in moments.... My theory is that yes, the motor "could" be 3000w, but that controller is severely limiting its power to the motor. This is also assuming that battery is capable of discharging 42a without over heating or having some sort of thermal disaster. There would need to be a BMS system to deal with these issues. But this bike has a "dumb" battery. Therefore, my grief is when companies put inferior parts on a bike, but then say "oh its 3000w because the motor is 3000w" but then battery, wiring, controller are only capable of lets say 1000w... It's a scam. super scummy.
