It's so nice from you to release the battery holder designs for free! Especially considering that you made one for every common brand. Looking forward to see more uploads from you :)
I was about to comment the same. I've been thinking about trying to make models for something, someday and now I know where to get them if I want. Huge thanks
Hey great to find your channel - came across it looking at the onefinity cnc router, and in a post about making money from a cnc router someone linked your post about making money from a laser cutter. Anyway history aside, I'm still in the early stages of designing stuff for my 3D printer (which is frustrating me with sticking to the build plate). Wondered if you had made a battery adaptor for AEG batteries (yep I'm in NZ too)
Mate, you are an absolute legend. I have thought about doing this for a while, you have done all the hard yards for me, big ups to you for the 3d printer files. I know how difficult it can be to print holders for drill batteries and I only designed one of them. Thank you so much for your efforts.
How in the heck does this not have 50 million views? Amazing job... wow... such dedication and awesomeness for 12k views LOL I've got a lot of work to do!
Thank you for all the work in this project. I have tons of Makita Batteries from work I never thought of trying to use. Now I have an endless supply of skateboard batteries 😂👍
If you don't already have sponsors, you should get some. This video was very nicely done, informative and to the point. I watched the whole way threw with no skipping forward. I have been wanting to do this with my ebike, I'm definitely moving forward with it now! Thanks again.
I have the same setup here in Canada, a 1000 watt 48 volts front wheel motor, I used 6 4Ah Ryobi batteries putting them 3 in series and then parallel them. I got over 20 km range on full charge, and whopping 45 km/h max speed. because I used a 60 volt battery on a 48 volt controller, the speed was much higher. Like you said, riding an ebike feels awesome like a silent motorbike!
Thanks so much for all your work. I put this too use to power my electric trike. Your 3D printer file worked great. The only heads up I would give for other people trying this is make sure you monitor your batteries. I drained my batteries too low and ended up wrecking one of them.
What a great idea dude, you might have just saved my backfire ranger x2. What’s not to like, faster charging and you can carry spares. Very exiting so thanks for that! Heads up too, there’s an Australian company called 48tool that do battery holders for all brands. They don’t have the slits that your design has but saves 3d printing if you can cut the holes yourself. Thanks again!
The comments are very good. I had my experience with the Aston Rider kit, it came out less than 300usd with lifepo battery and it has been running without problems since I had it more than a year ago
Great job & awesome video. I wish all e-bikes start using CAS batteries or CAS start manufacturing e-skateboards, e-scooters, and e-bikes. I will share this video on my Facebook. The instruction is very simple & understandable for many people.
This was pretty awesome to see. I mean it makes sense that li-ion in a powertool battery and in an ebike battery would both do the same job, but hardly any powertools are used continuously for 2 hours, and with the built in protection circuits etc it's good to know these work as intended in series. One minor downside would be that you can't easily install any kind of charging port on the board but being able to swap to fresh batteries at a moment's notice far outweighs this. Otherwise if you only have one set, depending on the charger they could take a while.
@@ThyerHazard When I say continuously I mean like if you were to pull the trigger on a power drill and not let go for 30 minutes. Nobody does this. From a thermal design standpoint this 95-100% duty cycle is a much harder case to deal with than a 50% or 75% duty cycle operation in a tool.
@@FurtherFabrication 2x 9ah, so around 350Wh. I'm mirroring the scooter's internal battery though, including a full BMS to the cell level in the dewalt packs. Figured the scooter had it, and I can make it work, why not do so
Good video was wondering could you make a alternator or 2 that would ride on the tires to charge the batterys then you could go further. I've seen ones that would ride on your tires for a headlight on an old bike i had so it should work for charging the batterys.
Thank you! I want to make a self propelled or assisted rolling tool cart . Afraid the speed may be too fast and not be great for a walking pace Can these motors go at a steady walking speed. What’s the weight capacities.
@@FurtherFabrication also been wanting to motorise the scooter that I made last year (ua-cam.com/video/CHifRpaGNtk/v-deo.html) I've got a chainsaw engine for it but just not quite the engineering nous - electric looks way more doable - I'm on Makita batties - cheers for making those 3D files available mate!
Very impressive. What would you say the cost difference is? I’m all in to doing a bike hub. I would have done the skateboard 20 years ago, but I’ve broken the plateau of my left tibia 3x so I’m a little judicious in my sport choices now.
ow! fair enough. From what I could tell, power tool batteries and specialized ebike batteries are similarly priced for the same sort of capacities - the cost benefit would be if you planned on using powertools with the batteries too, so it's kind of a two for one thing
Good to see you chiming in here, Chad. For an ebike, you'll do much better with a higher voltage pack. Series connections add voltage while capacity (amp hours/watt hours) remains constant. So: • 18V or 20V packs * 2 = ~40V • 18V or 20V packs * 3 = ~60V In Rob's example, he used two 18V/5Ah batteries connected in series: • 18V * 2 = 36Vnom * 5Ah = 180Wh • 180Wh / (20W/mile) = 9.0 miles Extending this to a ebike configuration, I'd suggest 60V. And, since an ebike doesn't have the same low profile requirement as the skateboard, I'd use higher capacity batteries (6.0Ah to 12Ah, depending on brand). So: • Three 20V/8.0Ah batteries would total 480Wh. At ~20W/mile, that's roughly 24 miles of range. I'm not sure of your equipment situation, but, since we're less than an hour away from you in Winder, I'll offer you the use of our shop and tools for your build. We're fabricators with every tool imaginable for wood, plastic, foam. etc. in our 10,000 sq. ft. shop. While we subcontract most of our metal work requirements, our high-end equipment includes a 5'x10' CNC with 10HP air-cooled spindle and full vacuum table, as well as FDM 3D printers in both cartesian (dual extruder) and delta formats; capable of printing with PLA, PETG, nylon, ABS or TPU filaments. I'm an experienced solar/battery builder for everything from portable power packs, to ebike batteries, to batteries powering entire RV's, and even 30kWh systems for commercial applications (3Ø @ 230V). As such, we have what's needed to build, test, charge and discharge packs. The use of our shop and tools, as well as any of my time is completely free to _ManCrafting,_ so please reach out if you're interested. We'd love to host you.
John Coloe thanks so much for all the information. Even more so for the generous offer. I’d love to come out to your place just to look around and see your setup. 10,000 sqft is an amazing space. Drop me an email mancrafting101@gmail.com we can exchange contact info and work out a time that’s good for you. Thanks again!
wow, and there's still plenty of room under the bike! would you revisit this with more drill batteries in parallel (safely, of course) for longer range? or 20v batteries for more power? or both combined? I'm very interested in the drill battery capability of this! seems so much easier since I already have so many drill batteries
Based on most of these tool batteries using the 18640-25R cells, at 2 in parallel, it should give 40 Amps continuous discharge. Was your ESC one that you had to program or one that you could get telemetry from? I am wondering if you can get the 40A out of them or if the battery is fused to burn out at 20A or limited in some other way. Any thoughts?
I'm assuming these motors free wheel? So I can have the option of pushing normally or using the motors. And I've seen people use ryobi batteries by mounting them sideways to make them fit.
In a way it is a shame that so many of these drill manufactures have gone to the higher 18V systems. When most of them were 12V I would pick up old units from second hand stores (12V ones) and use a 12V 7.5A gel cell with a 1.5m cable. As such they were still VERY portable, and the charge lasted for ages. I suppose one could use a boost circuit to push the 12V to 18V anyway. When you compare the price between a new drill.. and a replacement battery it is often cheaper just to buy a new drill. Here's to recycling :)
marcwolf60: A few years back I wanted a second battery for my drill. Price quoted as $84. Promo price for a low spec drill with two batteries identical to the one I needed... $99! No brainer, Eh.
Very nice work, and appreciate you sharing those files for free. I had a similar question/objective, but I don't have a 3D printer so I need to figure something else out. I have noticed that the power equipment battery packs from hardware stores seem a bit cheaper than the battery packs specific for e-bikes etc, which is why I was interested in going that route. I may just try to build one from scratch, which I think might be even a bit cheaper still (?). I'm designing a sort of hybrid between a scooter and mountain skateboard, but with 3 wheels. Option to stand or sit. The electric wheel will be an 8 or 10" fat wheel in hub motor on the back, and then it will have a mountain board truck/all terrain wheels on the front. Minus the wheels/motor, everything else will be from scratch. I'm going to use a composites approach to build the structure. The main part of the structure will use Paulownia wood as the core, and then S-glass fiberglass will be epoxied on with a high quality, high strength epoxy (preferably with bio content) at least 7k psi rating. But I just might use some thinnish birch plywood as the core to save money, though it will be a bit heavier. It will have an impact resistant acrylic, somewhat bubble molded front windshield to increase range and speed, especially for sitting. I'm going to make a super lightweight trailer for it to hold some solar panels. The trailer will be made out of primarily EPS foam + fiberglass + Titebond III to keep the weight really low. It will need some wood attached to screw into the large, high quality caster wheels. It will be attached to the E vehicle via reinforced bamboo poles with UHMWPE cord running through (stuff is ridiculously strong for its weight). If I ever do make it (need to save up money), it sure will look pretty funky. But I'm going for utmost efficiency between weight and aerodynamics as I can get, and as simple as a design/build I can get. The tricky part (besides expense of all the stuff), will be how to attach the back E wheel/motor to the "board" part. Haven't figured that part out yet. Was thinking of using 4 high strength Al alloy tubes, flattening the ends, drilling or cutting a notch in same, and then brazing the tubes to an Al alloy plate that will be drilled and glued to the board. So two V V structures going to a flat plate on top. It just needs to handle the strength of the motor and a little over half my weight, so hopefully that will be strong enough?
Awesome video. But the hyperlinks don't work anymore. What rated voltage were you the motors and controller you used? 48 Volts? Really want to build one of these
Champion! I bought a Giant 'Twist' bike that is missing the battery and had been wondering about modding it for power tool batteries as it is already 18V.
Im late to see the video but it looks like to solve the bike issue would be to regear the motor to rear wheel maybe even add a jack shaft to trick it into having more torque
Do you possibly have a means to print the adapters for the batteries for a fee?? I do not have access to a 3d printer but would like to purchase the adapters if possible
Hey man, I've finished the same experiment following your steps with the same Makita batteries(brand new) and unfortunately my board for some reason shuts down randomly, making it not safe to ride. I think my motors and ESC are in good condition as when I use my normal block battery, everything works great and consistent. I thought maybe the isse was that I didn't solder the cables properly, but I think I did, so I'm not sure if it's dropping power which makes the ESC freak out and shut down as an emergency cut-off maybe. What would you advice me to do?
Awesome!!! Still gathering parts for the laser build but definitely gonna be doing this project as well. The affiliate link is not working unfortunately.
A pity there aren't any holders for greenworks, as they are one of the few 48V battery suppliers out there or the 60V version of the Dewalt flexvolt! Gonna have to make them myself I suppose ;) I am curious: To use regenerative braking on these, do you need a separate BMS?
Haha I'd say it's pretty boarderline, that motor has enough torque to rip the spokes right out of there if you wanted to. If you were doing it for real you'd for sure want a high quality spokes and rims.
Bro choice idea O for awsome video. Do you have battery holder for ozito battery? How is the board going and how's windy Wellington going miss my home town WAINUIOMATA represent Chur😝
I've been wondering about this one myself. Nice work keep making content. With your video skills interesting content and engaging personality you could be an excellent YT maker/ creator.
Nice job! I'm also surprised by the skateboard vs bike efficiency. BTW; the only downside of having mismatched packs (say, a 2ah pack + 4ah pack) in series is that the lower capacity one will cut out first, meaning you waste the extra 2ah on the 4ah pack.
It's so nice from you to release the battery holder designs for free! Especially considering that you made one for every common brand.
Looking forward to see more uploads from you :)
You're welcome! I had done a couple of brands for my own use, so I figured why not do a few more haha

Good test infos, didn’t know 2packs of the 18v can go that far. Sure is worth the usage 👍, thanks for sharing 💕
what if I add two 20v batteries? will it go faster?
Will Milwaukee m18 batteries have low voltage cutoff if you used them on an ebike?
SO interesting! Great job mate!
How many Ah was the single battery for the skateboard??
does drill battery have bms too?
chuur ... awesome vid bro. Keep them coming.

I think my motors and ESC are in good condition as when I use my normal block battery, everything works great and consistent.
I thought maybe the isse was that I didn't solder the cables properly, but I think I did, so I'm not sure if it's dropping power which makes the ESC freak out and shut down as an emergency cut-off maybe.
What would you advice me to do?
i thought you counlt mount 2 BMS batteries together like this ?
Can I use batteries that have different Ah?
Awesome!!! Still gathering parts for the laser build but definitely gonna be doing this project as well. The affiliate link is not working unfortunately.
A pity there aren't any holders for greenworks, as they are one of the few 48V battery suppliers out there or the 60V version of the Dewalt flexvolt! Gonna have to make them myself I suppose ;)
I am curious: To use regenerative braking on these, do you need a separate BMS?
Good job, skateboard and bike. What gauge is heavy gauge, 10g, 12g?
can you tell what your weight is?
Just wondering: is there any video of your incursion in the reality show world? Cheers
Love your channel!
Wow that's awesome 👍 impressive stuff!
Cheers mate!
Are you sure you've got enough spokes on the rear? It seems light for something that's carrying your weight plus torque from the motor.
Haha I'd say it's pretty boarderline, that motor has enough torque to rip the spokes right out of there if you wanted to. If you were doing it for real you'd for sure want a high quality spokes and rims.
Nice impreza wagon.
Bro choice idea O for awsome video. Do you have battery holder for ozito battery?
How is the board going and how's windy Wellington going miss my home town WAINUIOMATA represent Chur😝
Nice video. Love your stuff
I've been wondering about this one myself. Nice work keep making content. With your video skills interesting content and engaging personality you could be an excellent YT maker/ creator.
whats the controller you used for the ebike? cheers
Nice job! I'm also surprised by the skateboard vs bike efficiency. BTW; the only downside of having mismatched packs (say, a 2ah pack + 4ah pack) in series is that the lower capacity one will cut out first, meaning you waste the extra 2ah on the 4ah pack.
Thanks! I know, seems a little counterintuitive. Yeah that would totally be a thing to watch out for!
amazing, great job
Cool idea and proof of concept. What brand of wire stripper are you using at 05:08?
Thanks mate. ah not sure exactly, I got them off aliexpress, I think they're called automatic wire strippers
Ofcourse you can volts are volts amps are amps aslong as you stay within parameters required all is good. Plus drill batteries =extra amps
the link is broken
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing :)
how much is invested in making a bike like this
