Thank you! Restoring that engine was an awesome introduction to mini bikes for my son. Of course, he almost crashed it right after this video… doh!

The controller might have a low voltage shutoff to protect the batteries from a full discharge. This might be what is happening.

Those were some fun times!

I did this a few years back, at that time the best prices were through eBay. That might have changed since then so I suggest using your favorite search engine.

@@adrenalinsurge what parts though?

I just placed the resistors in series, however I used two of them in parallel to lower the value. I do not recall the values off hand. I believe they were 1.5 or 1.2K. So 600-750ohm overall.

Awesome. It’s a great project to share with your kids.

Tropical leaf. 👍

Thank you! The foot board is 1/4 plywood which was sprayed with rubberized bed liner. Ez Pz

Yes, they are wired in parallel. I’m using Samsung replacement hoverboard packs. They are rated 36v at 4400mah, 10s2p.

@@adrenalinsurge I see so 40v fully charged each battery?

@@alexbekkala1718 correct.

Anytime!

Thank you. I’m not sure if you are referring to the actual mount on the motor, or the adapter plate I fabricated. The motor can be purchased with the mounts already attached, this applies to both the brushed and brushless motors. The adapter plate was made form aluminum plate which I had lying around. If you can weld, I would suggest just forming a new plate from mild steel and welding it in. This will provide perfect alignment when all is said and done. Hth

Nice, hope it turns out like you wanted. The tensioner on both bikes are stock. Apparently they changed the design over the years.... good eye!

I haven’t found the limit of the battery yet. We typically ride for 30 minutes at a time and he can go a few days before requiring a recharge. I would definitely recommend investing your budget into lipo battery packs. The hoverboard 36v packs were a great match and being that they are wired in parallel you can simply add another for extended range. If you are going to keep the original motor, make sure you add a resistor to the throttle reference signal. If you want to keep it around the stock speed with the 36v lipo battery, you will need a max voltage reading around 2.2v from the throttle

@@adrenalinsurge thanks for the fast reply much appreciated from the UK this video inspired me and my son to turn his pocket mod into something he could enjoy for a lot longer thanks to you

ua-cam.com/video/4jFHkB9p-c4/v-deo.html link to mods are in the replies of this video. HTH

For the big one

The batteries are my power tool batteries, which are 2 lipo Ryobi 18v 9Ah in series. I’m not sure what the watts would be, however they can handle a high discharge rate.

@@adrenalinsurge Thank you, shooting for a similar build as yours it looks awesome. How fast does that thing go with u on it?

@@beeazy9996 I did try to clock it but the cellular service is horrible by me. A conservative guess is low 20’s.

Thanks... much appreciated.

@Sean Sorry man, what you see is what I have. If you have any questions during your build just lmk. It’s a fun project, gets used a lot.

@@adrenalinsurge what’s the range looking like?

That's what I'm looking to do right now

@Joel JT Warawa. Was just looking for consistent passes that day.

@@adrenalinsurge Ahhhhhh. Well that does make sense. It would be no doubt your best time using paddles and launch

@michael Zell, definitely strip it down... looks better (imo) and provides more room. I put foot pegs on the front axle of the other cycle for me to ride.

Your welcome. One of these days I’ll strip down the grey one and refinish it.

I'm probably gonna remove the front panel on mine to allow for more foot room.

Hey lil, there is more than one path to follow...and that will also depend on budget. At a minimum you will need a new controller, motor, throttle, battery and charger.

@SupaAyshun

Hey SupaAyshun, you are the first to express any interest. The motor is a larger frame size which requires a 1/2” motor plate to be fabricated. I made one out of aluminum plate, and threaded it for a cleaner look. Next time I take it out I’ll grab some video... I also relocate the seat and gave it a suspension.

@@adrenalinsurge Oh okay cool thank you! I'm guessing you removed the battery tray above the motor to make room for it as well and running lithium ion batteries? I was also thinking about giving the seat some suspension for a better ride because of the higher speeds

@@SupaAyshun the battery tray can remain in place. I believe the motor size is 1020, and this one had a factory bracket. The motor plate raises the motor to clear the frame as its wider than the original. Yes it’s on lipo... actually using battery packs from my power tools. This was the first one I converted and I never really finished it... but it rides great.

@@adrenalinsurge How's the ride time on it? I'd assume not very long since those battery packs have low Ah and even if wired in series it's still not that much

@@SupaAyshunRide time is good, that is due to battery size and the free wheeling hub on these scooters. I’m using ryobi 9ah 18v (actual voltage is 20v) batteries in series. Home Depot/Ryobi had a great deal on these when they were introduced. I’ll take a vid this weekend for you.

I would try brake boosting as you said. I was at the limit of what my tires and track conditions would allow on that day. There is room for improvement on my 60ft though, as you pointed out. The APR tune doesn't self adjust to fuel, you need to swap in the appropriate tune (can be done on the fly in a minute). The ECU on its own (Stock or tuned) will adjust up to about 30% ethanol if your fueling system is in good shape. In contrast, DS1 tune can monitor and self adjust to ethanol content with the addition of an ethanol sensor.

@Hips King I’m still on the original clutch packs with 31k and so far so good. This is with the APR tcu tune. There are quite a few guys making more torque/and HP than me who are also on the stock clutches, however they are using a different TCU tune.

At the time I was running TSW wheels (20x9) with 265/35/20 Michelin PSS.

No difference at the track with meth for me as I was already at the max timing/max psi my tune allowed. On the street I use the 100 octane tune for daily with the meth. My tank last me a year, I drive pretty easy 99% of the time, ymmv. Good Luck.

@@adrenalinsurge thanks. Odd question but how is the fuel mileage? If your just taking it easy around town and on highway

@@andyghag9502 I’ve never calculated my mileage between fill ups, so take this with a grain of salt... going by the onboard computer I can maintain 30mpg on the highway. Around town high teens is typical. Compared to other cars I’ve owned, gas mileage seems quite good to me.

I do not recall there being any spacers if you are simply removing the rear wheel. The rear bearings where in good condition, so I did not remove them or remove the axle from the hub. HTH

I don’t know, at the time I was only interested in chasing the record and didn’t care about dyno runs. This was on the pump gas file, while using 100 octane. Race fuel file went slightly faster, 10.50 @ 132.5.

@@adrenalinsurge did you changed the diff ratios?

@@luisetorres5760 No sir, we added a Quaife differential but kept the stock gears.

No nitrous ever! Mod list is in this video... ua-cam.com/video/4jFHkB9p-c4/v-deo.html
