I like your setup. Very simple. Amazing it works this simple without tripping the batteries. Did you put fuses between each battery pack or just connect each battery pack in series? Can the batteries handle being put in series without tripping each battery bms prematurely, and without one battery fail prematurely? Which do youn think is better longer lasting system in the long run, a 4S configuration, a 2S2P system or a 4P system for this setup?
Thank you ! Had that setup until I started burning my battery packs , would not recommend it , I jumped in to that project knowing a little bit about batteries, would just buy a battery with the voltage you are running your setup it will be waaaayy cheaper in the long run, burnt up all 4 Milwaukee packs each go for $250 . 72v battery cost around $1200 on Amazon and eBay
I would put clear plastic around the entire frame but have cut outs for the battery's but then you would have to relocate the battery for the headlight
That’s a good , have been using the thing every where and just came from a big trip up north and have not had any water issues yet but definitely thinking about making it more water proof
I saw one of your comments mentioning the batteries were eventually ruined. Was that due to high amperage draw over a sustained amount of time? Thanks for creating all this content, too! ❤
Did some research after, with my limited knowledge at the time and my impulsive actions I learned a $1000 lesson. Lithium batteries must be balanced if you are going to run them in series. Unlike lead acid batteries that share their power and balance themselves lithium batteries don’t do that and you can’t run them to low or charge them exclusively because it will ruin them as well. So if you run some in series and one has more power than the other there might be a chance that you will over drain and ruin one , another big issue is the individual BMS (battery management systems) on each pack they get ruined and when you charge your battery it will throw a fault code and not charge your battery Thank you for watching!! 🙌🙏
You should fix those forks, bent like that it'll be uncontrollable, you've gotta get the drag angle right, just want the contact patch of the front tire to be a few inches in front of the steering axis
I have used it all day in a camp trip for about 20 miles and still had half the Bateries with juice my top speed that I felt safe riding this thing 55mph had my buddy drive his truck next to me in mirage dried lake CA 👍
Yes that’s correct 👍depending how I’m riding off course, bought a 72v50ha battery from AliExpress and I’m getting 50mile range with that one and with the new aluminum frame
Cool looking build! I'm curious what your front and rear sprocket situation is. I have an old frame I want to convert but every motor I find has that weird tf8 sprocket and I'm not coming up with anything aftermarket to adapt to the #40 mini bike chain and sprocket.
I used the tf8 sprocket the kit came with I did have to modify the new sprocket to fit on to the back tire by drilling new holes on the old sprocket I had and putting the new sprockets bolt pattern if you do that make sure you keep everything true and center the front sprocket and chain are the same ones that came with the kit check out my next video to get an idea of how I did it it’s not perfect but it works and have not had an issue good luck !!
Do your batteries flash red after hitting the throttle even if they are fully charged? I have 3x 8.0 batteries in my mini bike at 54v and they flash red, work fine even though they are fully charged.
It means they are going into protection mode, you are either drawing too much current or are dropping the voltage too much under power, stop usind the bike asap you WILL damage the batteries if you keep using it that way, the batteries themselves dont have protections against under voltage and overcurrent draw, thoes features are usually built into milwaukee tools themselves
Remove a link or 2 ..... 40s not bad but if it did 60 I'd be impressed, with that geometry and rake i wouldn't take it over 35mph though for safety reasons.
Fixed the chain works 100%now What can I say would be a sad dude if I try to impress everyone I do it for fun and to share what I learn Yea that rake is sketch but then again the whole frame is sketch lol working on a new project to fix all those issues
You should throw a pull start handle and string on it just to throw people off
Hahaha that will really get people scratching their heads
😂🤣 made me chuckle
Awesome little build I'm wanting to do the same thing with an old pencraft mini riding lawn mower.
I love the Milwaukee battery set up. Makes me Wana build my own.

Try and get your front tires mounted a lil more forward from the neck of the frame. That would make it feel a lil better.
Thanks for the tip 👊
great little build. love the thinking
Thank you !! more to come
Dude Your Awsome I just finished electric scooter for my son.

yup !not fun to ride at high speeds all white knuckles lol putting front suspension on this frame
Oh thanks , at last same smart idea , REGARDS Ziggy Canada
Hey Ziggy!! Much love thanks for watching
Nice job but no links like what size motor and such!!
72v3000w👍👍🤙
72v3000w👍👍🤙
Real cool bro
thanks man really appreciate it
how far can it goes with fully charged 4 batteries? max speed?
I have used it all day in a camp trip for about 20 miles and still had half the Bateries with juice my top speed that I felt safe riding this thing 55mph had my buddy drive his truck next to me in mirage dried lake CA 👍
awesome build, just a guess here, it seems with 48ah you should be able to see about 25-30 miles of range?
Yes that’s correct 👍depending how I’m riding off course, bought a 72v50ha battery from AliExpress and I’m getting 50mile range with that one and with the new aluminum frame
Nice Build!!! Will you please list parts and the links. Solid Build
What gauge wire did you use on the batteries, and are you using a fuse between the battery an control?
I used 16ga wire and I do have a 50A fuse to protect the computer forgot to mention that 👍

You can buy any size sprocket you want. Make sure it's double d, or single depending on your motor shaft. eBay is a good place to start.
What electric motor is this? I would love to know
how much volts do you get out of the drill batteries?
82 when fully charged

what did you use to slide the batteries on ? are they chargers stripped down ?
Any update on parts list? I love this build
the only thing is finding a esc compatible with milwaukee batteries
I have a 48v motor how should I power it with those batteries?
Like what’s the voltage of the batteries should I use
Also what brand batteries
heck yea i have seen a couple Hondas on Instagram they look sick !
stick to a 48 voltage battery pack the Milwaukee batteries wont work with 48v
What mounts did you use for the batteries. And what gauge wires
Parts list please waited ?
Changed a couple things that were on this build but most of the things I bought on Amazon 👍 if you have any questions on anything feel free to ask
hey where dud you get the batterys
Nice man. Parts list please? Would love to build this myself
Thanks 🙏🏽 I’ll put one on the description shortly
false wheres the list only need esc
that can run off milwaukee
goodjob👍😊
Part list please!!!!!!
Will put a parts list soon 🙂
?
How did you wire the batteries
Has anyone tried the 80volt mower batteries?
What motor is that? Do you have any links to the items you purchased?
I bought a 72v 3000w mini bike kit off Amazon , I’ll put a parts list shortly
Such a goofy little bike, do you know what the original Honda bike was called? Never seen one of these things 🤔
I don t I saved it from the scrap yard but never found a tag or name
Can you charge it?
only way is trough the rapid chargers
Where is the product links?
Top speed?
Did you build the frame?
its a baha minibike frame
thanks
what is the motor?
Amazon 3000w 👍
I think I seen this on offer up lol
Haha it is !
How much? I wanna make an offer
Richie rebuilds . built a Tesla 4 wheeler
That’s the one !! Thanks man

Link of chain.
Fixed the chain works 100%now

how much does this cost it shouldnt cost anything over 750
It’s priceless 😃
you got over $1000 in that not counting breaks and tires
If you take the Bateries off it’s only $350 total expenses frame and tires were free 👍
That's the only catch with the build. Milwaukee battery packs are not cheap. Those 12ah are 250 each
Did the same with my dewalt batteries. Aftermarket batteries are cheap
