In this DIY project video we are going to convert our bicycle into an electric one. We are going to use a car alternator that we have converted to a permanent magnet brushless motor that we have converted in previous project video.
Have a look at this project video as we are going to have lots of fun building this bicycle.

I'm a 70 year old american and I love watching you guys!!!! You are so smart it baffles the mind. I used to race cars so I know what it takes to make projects like these-thanks for sharing and inspiring!
Me too sir ❤️
You got that right friend. They are smart!
@@raicheltillen8013 tf did you just say. You talk about my momma
দাম কতো, কি ভাবে পাওয়া যাবে।
are you serious??? that simple things baffles your mind?? 🤣🤣🤣
Never give up your creative fire but absolutely do not be afraid to learn proper technique from the Old pros... Seek out all the retired old men in your community who once did machining an electrical work their knowledge base is priceless, and many have libraries of reference material books that they used for their careers. Those libraries now sit gathering dust, and many of these Old pros will want to bestow those gems upon you.... They are especially priceless, because they now represent lost knowledge and they are usually out of print for several decades...
everything is on UA-cam or other platforms. don't need old men or libraries with their dated information.
Theres a lot of wrong knowledge on youtube.
@@mathieutyler00 there must be a lot of how to be a useless young prick videos on UA-cam.
@@rowennaidoo3984 too true!
@@mathieutyler00 you obviously know it all then😂
Making it gear driven is absolutely wild. If I were you I'd space the alternator back and put on a toothed belt to drive it. This was an awesome build!
Dude! That's a 60mph pedal bike home built. Great job. I'm impressed I love projects like this.
60-70 kmph * roughly 40-45 mph not bad still
@@carterwidmor7057 He said it had more left. 88 kph or something. 1.21 gigawatts
@@elvismorales7741where you are doing such a excellent job I want my bike to convert I am living in garden city Behria rawalpindi pak istan
@@zazarays you want to power a whole city with your 1.21 gigawatt?
@@carterwidmor7057 Not bad until you realize they claim it's 10,000W and a 1,500W can do similar speeds.
I've avoided getting an electric bike for years because nobody made one with the power and range I wanted. You just built the one I've been looking for.
Surron x
his numbers are trash, if you put 10,000 watts through the cable he uses to connect the motor it would light up like a candle.
What you want isnt going to happen. Even if you have the third world make a video lying about 10kw of power. Jesus, people. Don't be so fucking stupid.
@@kght222 no light needed in the evening then
@@falsedragon33 Well that's a bit rude. It must be stressful having your encyclopedic brain.
But it most certainly is going to happen. There are already electric motorcycles with excellent power and range. And Tesla is working on an electric semi truck. That's a heck of a lot harder than doubling the range of a bicycle. Be patient. It's coming.
Not gonna lie i thought this was a fake video, but when i did my research i found out that alternators, in fact, can be used as motors, Great work, i'm gonna do this when i get one on my hands
whats your progress now
I'm a 72 year old American, and I think it's a cool build.

Your instability is due to the battery placement being mostly rearward. It should be redistributed to be closer to the center of gravity for greater stability
Yes. I have a pushbike with a cantilevered basket mounted on the rear rack. When this is full of groceries or whatever the front wheel becomes unstable. Dangerous - too much weight in the wrong place.
Modify the sterring stem ,add caster. Adjust rake and trail angle. For stability
Or build a new frame.
Keep the position of battery more towards front wheel for more cog
Correct on the battery placement. That's why when I bought my conversion kit for my bike with the hub motor, I bought a battery that I could mount in the middle of the bike to offset the 25lbs of the motor in the rear.
Putting the heavy battery in the back would stress the frame to much when making sharper turns. When I make turns now it feels normal other than the extra weight on the bike but it's balanced well. I read that others noticed problems with to much weight in the rear.
I love the fact that you went through the trouble of making your own battery pack. It’s a detail many would have not done.👍
Imagine a manufactured battery half the weight
At around 11 minutes. Says it all. The smile is an indication this thing kicks some arse.
Well done.
Indeed,thanks for appreciation.
Life should be as easy and simple like this guys, reusing everything that normally will end in our landfill is a great accomplish. Thank you.

Didn't know there was such a thing as an 800 amp alternator out there for a 12vdc system. Learn something new everyday.
LOL. Yeah, that's *maybe* an 80 amp alternator!
@@SparkyRF Alternators regularly run 120-160 amps in everyday bullshitty cars so if its 160 amps at 12 volts its almost two thousand watts. Even at 120 you're still almost producing 1500 watts of power. This could be a high amperage unit tho, if you spend like a few hundred dollars you can get a 300 amp alternator. These guys have 12 million views on one video im sure they can afford high amp alternators.
You guys are real creative,the world need people like you.thinkers and innovators.much love from Tanzania
DIY King, Good day, This is the 2nd video on Alternator conversion of you Demo's & your sincere efforts, your try to find out is 100 % correct, trial & errors always in the game, keep it up, good luck.👍🏿
great design/execution to pull it all together. Love your re-purposing of materials.
Would like to see this conversion put into a small car to have control over torquing of frame to allow higher speeds safely.
great job guys specially making a brush-less motor. you should start a business to convert bicycle into electric cycles. Well done boys keep up.
@@hustlaz2k brother no... is brushless motour
@@hustlaz2k its a permanent magnet alt
@@hustlaz2k 0:12, it's brushless
@@hustlaz2k Its converted to a brushless motor
@@hustlaz2k Well, at the beginning of the video itself, they stated that they converted that alternator into a brushless motor. They even provided a link to their video of that process.
these guys are living a life that was a dream of mine.😊
That's super clever. Well done for putting an old alternator to very interesting use. To keep the controller cooler, consider adding an aerodynamic ducting to the heatsink to channel air over it as you ride, perhaps adding a quiet Noctua or Arctic Cooling fan to help with the air flow 👍😉
You guys have some skills. Machining, welding, and even building your own batteries. My hat is off to you.
It looks like soo much fun working with you guys. I wish I could spend a day inventing/building with you. Thank you for sharing 😊
thank you for not having some bassy music for the intro! i really thank you
love the rear battery pac... great ideas, well done guys...
Beautiful and very refreshing to know there are still individuals out there with a freaking brain, not just waiting for the delivery person after pressing a button.
Thank you, thank you so much. Let’s keep this going. Maybe it will inspire someone to get up off their lazy ass and actually do something.
I love tinkering as I call it. Partners/ex wife don't understand their reaction is usually " but youbcan buy one on amazom" which defies the point.
Ill do this when I have the tools, money, and knowledge to this
I think the project represents thinking out of the box, maybe out of the entire workshop, and it looks like you guys have a lot of fun doing them. That is the best part of your videos. Thanks a bunch.
Absolutely sick video, that thing is pretty quick!
Shout out from California. You guys are amazing. How you say everything correctly is making my eye twitch lol. Keep up the awesome work guys!
This is absolutley amazing, converting a bicyle to an electric bike witha a car alternator this is just mind blowing you are such a talented person, hope to see more improved version of this project, keep it up
The bike now owns dike
A totally awesome build! Thank you for sharing.
I’m a white guy from the United States , I’ve always been impressed with you East indie guys as your creativity is very impressive. BTW- The relationship you have with your little buddy is really cool, keep up the good work guys. God bless.
You ended up with deep connection 😉
BEST PAKISTANI TECH CHANNEL
I have enjoyed watching you fellows at work on this project, multiple skills and the the accent is entertaining, sounds like Roz ( the guy from Big Bang ).
You'll do well 👌👍
I managed to get a much more usable result with my e-bike conversion. It will comfortably ride at 80 kmh+ without any wobbles. The only downside is the motor will overheat within a few minutes at that kind of power level. I mostly use it up to 60 kmh and it will beat cars at the lights easily.
Nice to see something on the road and working...most of my ideas don't make it off the notebook page. Good to see your generation with a full understanding of what it takes to bring a project to fruition. Excellent.
Amazing, simply amazing. Your ingenuity gives me hope for humanity. Keep going!
Love the creativity, Love the language selection because there's a lot of viewers not only for Indian. Love you from Philippines.
An excellent project. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Would love to see more technical specs in the future. Thank you.
Bravo! You guys will go far, just keep thinking and keep things open source!
Great work 👏 I love what you did here! This is the second time I see you do this same conversion. Someday I'm going to buy one of these bikes from you. 😊
It is the weight of the alternator on one side of the axle that makes you ride. It would be necessary to put an object of volume and equivalent weight on the other side so that it could roll normally. It will even be much more stable than before!
Wow lads. That is absolutely fantastic. I would definitely like one on my bike.
Great video. Keep up the great work. Take care brother 👍👍👍👍👍🥇
You guys really know your stuff that bike is amazing with that set up and the range it has if great. Will definitely watch how you converted the Alternator as I came across this by chance.👍
Using an alternator for an eBike??? Wish I'd thought of that one. Excellent!
wow
i loved how you used alternator instead of buying expensive hub drives
You guys are awesome! From Florida we send our love,🤟🏻
Love it, i also can see that the bike test was loved as well, great project and great potential for grander projects. But the key lesson here is the amount of upscaling reclaiming and repurposing that has gone into the project so far.
In theory I dunno I've always wondered this, couldn't you add a 2nd alternator to it that recharges the the battery that powers the first one.
Man! I loved this show! You guys are nailing it! Keep at it. You guys are living the dream life.
Live for good and your imagination and ideas will be used by many someday...good luck in your future experiments.
YES PLEASE !!! Looking forward to the making process !!
You guys rock!!! No truly as a fabricator mechanic I like your work very clean strong and precise with limited tools!! Super smart!!! Love to see more!!!
They do do a remarkable job with limited tools, but precise??? Let’s say reasonably accurate considering…They might have less tools soon (fingers/hands/eyes/head!) if they don’t learn to clamp what they drill, 😂 or at least shove a screwdriver in the base slot to stop the job spinning 🌪🩸😜🤟🚑🦯 🤣

when possibilities become probabilities, you are watching the right channels. this is a different type of moto-bicycle than I'm used to - most people build them like a motorcycle (Like the ones I ride)
Dude what a cool concept. This is the most badass ideas I have ever seen. CRAZY COOL.
Awesome job guys.. Keep on doing all your experiments because they will help the World 🌎 😊😇
Real insane product man, enjoyed watching it and imagined the possibilities, thanks a lot
You guys are amazing thank you so much,,, people think this stuff is easy they are crazy you guys are modern path makers!!
I love your work keep it going. I think you guys are the best never ever give up.
That is excellent innovation, craftsmanship and great team work father and son...just wonderful to see..thanks guys...
But thats way too much power for a little bike 10000 watts is 15hp. Thats got to run around 90mph
Brilliant. This is what innovation looks like!! You guys are great!

Great build I'm happy I found your channel
This is the innovative drive that made America great a 75 ago, Now I see it in India as USA has lost it.. Your people are very smart and creative. I see a bright future for India. Thank You.
Great video well presented .
It's nice to see the teachers who not only teach , but actually do. You guys make the world a better place in every way . Peace : )
Well done for your brilliant effort. May I suggest a couple of things.
I would look at mounting the alternator by the pedal area and using a belt drive or similar to the rear wheel therefore giving you a more centralised mass.
Following on from that, the battery pack would be much better slung under the main frame spar and would help with stability for your bike and reduce the speed wobbles experienced.
Your efforts are nothing short of inspiring and you guys should be very proud of yourselves, just centralize and lower your overall mass for a much better handling bike. Front forks would also be worth changing to damped forks instead of rigid.
Subbed, and sending you best wishes.
Bro, just do your own video.
Yea was thinking ok but use a belt?
Same thing went through my mind...and also mabe bigger size bicycle
@@tonybino01 Comments like this help people who might want to try it out themselves
Great Idea on transmitting power! Belt much easier!
Definitely this is really cool stuff I think it would be great to see this cool ideas for e-bikes you have.That speed was awesome..
I'm gonna make my Peugeot boxer van emergency 4 wheel drive using your alternator motor..thank you Fell free to steal my idea fit on rear wheels
I am soooo happy I happened upon you and your videos!! You both are awesome to watch and to learn from, and I love the bits of humor tossed in for fun. Please keep posting your genius for us all to learn from. Now I want to make my own E-bike!
its switch on off to motor. charged coil.
:)
Great job guys you guys are very talented I am an electrician and also an inventor and engineer I love your concept and what you have done I believe you have a very marketable item and I believe you should apply for a patent to what you have done to protect your work if you have not already done so!
Can they do a patent application with car parts and parts from other brands?
Not sure about patent laws, I thought you can build stuff similar but it has to be different from original product but use your own custom parts? But I'm not sure
That is what I'm talking about ! Great work ya'll keep up the great videos.
Would like to see you guys try it on an uphill so we'll have some idea of the power it delivers. Nice project! Keep it up guys.
I love watching the things you guys build. Very smart and great engineering. Keep up the great work.
Thank u anything u need am at your dispo

Ebike enthusiast and MechE here. I clicked this just to see a freaking terrible idea come to fruition.
Just...wow. Great stuff.
ok
With the current gas prices, I need one of these for work.
Brillant idea makes sense using the alternator to recharge battery so good
this is awesome.. i watched the vid 3x...lol i want to build my own now.
Great job guys! Nice conversion. you guys made it all look cleanly done to with everything tied down and in it’s right place. I think I’m going to try this conversion myself soon.
Did you try it yet..?
@@rubendiaz4180 I’m still working on getting all my parts together when I have the time, but I will make it happen lol 😉 Thanks for asking.
I've been itching to tackle a "e-bike" project using a old Razor pedal powered "Big Wheel" style trike to make what other videos call a Drift Trike. I've watched dozens of other videos but only this one of yours and Still you've given me more USEFUL ideas than the others. Awesome, Thank You! I've subscribed and I plan to check out your other videos while I finish gathering everything I need. I promise I'll document the progress as best I can but with a basically non-existent budget, it'll be a while before I have anything to show. 👍🏻
You're created a rocket 🚀
Thank you for sharing your experiment with us
It's funny that it's so rare in so called "modern advanced" societies that anybody wants or knows how to build anything, they are completely unable to do anything... So who is more advanced?
You're super smart and lucky because you have a nice supply of resources for your parts
Love you bro from india 🇮🇳
Thanks dear
Watching this video made me feel like a teenager again. I would totally make this if I had the tools and knowledge at the time. Such good way to spend time with friends and maybe start a eco business 💥💥💥
Great project! And bonus points for that cockatiel screaming in the background! I've had many 'tiels throughout my life and that sound is not only unmistakable, but also makes me smile :D
Glad you noticed
Great video very fun. I enjoyed all I thought your friend looked like he was enjoying the ride... Take care my Friends
Get some vice grip clamps for your drill press! I use them all day at work
Or some peg holes in the table, so they could put a hard stop behind the sprocket they are drilling.
This is so awesome on so many levels!
thanks guys for sharing your experience
Man you're so creative that's very talented
I love this, not only fabricators but very technical as well. Great job guys!
Your friend reminds me of how much i miss my longer hair. Its the perfect haircut for a man, lookin all suave and debonair.
You guys are DIY Geniuses. Way to go.
Too fun!! Awesome video, Guys!
I bet the looped small wire you used to connect the cells in the battery get pretty hot under 30+ amps of continuous load, unless you have multiple sets of cells in parallel. Nice build!
It is in parallel he says it 7:58
You should put a small water reservoir heatsink for a cpu on the speed controller and let the thermal differential cycle the small amount of fluid, and it would get rid of the air gap inside the controller and allow more heat transfer to the heatsink you added
put the setup into tricicles and make the batteries modular
good job tysm 4 sharing!
That's was awesome! Thank you for your inspiring videos and sharing your skills with us! 👌👌👌
engaging Li-Po battery pack without BMS to run a motor is dangerous dude. Li-Po is very flammable when its leaking
IMPORTANT WARNING ⚠️
@old cars trashed bms has overdischarge protection feature, so not a surprise if bms limits the full potential of the battery.
In this video, they used Li-Po instead of Li-Ion which can go puffy then explode if it's overdischarged.
You must always use lubricant when drilling through metal, steel, aluminum, iron and stainless, as well as drilling within the proper speed and feed ranges
right, that is basic knowledge that most machinist know.
@@jodyguilbeaux8225 Speed and feed and tool type are going to be more important than coolant. A nice drill can do hundreds of holes without coolant, but if the speeds and feeds are wrong it might not even get 1.
definitely make the videos because it establishes a record of your works
Outside the box outside the building go man go. Love the way you do stuff so unconventionally it leaves the door open for many fresh ideas!
Awesome build good job guys looked like a ton of work. Can’t believe how fast it went. Very cool.
Pure genius! You probably already have the wheel shimmy problem worked out, but I think it has to do with the amount of trail in the steering. You may need to add a small amount of wheel trail, in order to deal with the added speed involved. All the best!
Getting weight away from top tube and headset as this is whats resonating. I learned this no-handing as a kid. My dads bike had a dad basket. Load it up, u better hang on lol
Frankenbike! Love it. Super creative and looks dangerously fun. I think the weak point now would be the wheel/tire dexterity at those speeds. Not to mention the breaks!
Awesome science dudes. Great work..
I wish my workshop was clean enough to walk round barefoot in 🤣
Thought the same thing!
