*Battery life is great **Latest.Bike** Scooter . Love the different driving modes. It’s got a little headlight and taillight too. Gets lots of looks haha*
Looks great! The board is long and roomy , but why not extend the handlebars a little wider for a natural width? It would balance out the scooter with the longer deck. 👍🏼
Anybody considering copying this - don't use laptop cells, they are rated for 2C or typically 3 to 4 amps draw but the motor may take 15 to 20amps. Rescued lithium cells from 18 or 20volt power tools would be a good choice but you still need to match capacity with the rest of the hoverboard battery which will typically use 2ah or 2.2ah cells.
Nice build! But i wouldn't recommend using laptop cells as a replacement as they are rated for low discharge current (around 1A) an could overheat and cause fire. Use powerdrill batteries instead
Laptop cells are rated for 2C. Most common cells are around 2200mAh so they can handle around 4.4A max continuous. Hoverboard motor power ranges from 150 to 350W, what our guy has here looks like a 250W motor. So with a 36V battery that would mean around 7-8A max, which is less than the 8,8A that two parallel laptop cells can supply. I still wouldn't recommend using laptop cells because salvaged cells rarely have full capacity. Also the cells in the pack might no longer be balanced in terms of capacity. But the guy made a pretty cool thing and now has something to improve, which is good.
thank you for this inspiring video... i am building one for my 6 yo son based on his baby-kick-scooter. with one hoverboard hub motor... i m now not sure hoe to connect the charging port...? would you please briefly give a statement please? i hesitate to just connect the charging port to the batteries +\-... thank you💐
Man nice work! You only showed cheap scooters and saying that they are expensive.. 😄 the expensive ones are totally worth the money, especially the ninebots, you can get a used one for under 400 euros
Hoverboards underpowered as hell I had a Jetson rave with 400 watt dual motors only 12 mph scary ass hoverboard that I'd smoke with my 16 mph bird air 250 watt single back wheel drive motor having scooter I was just reading volts are what effect speed of course with whatever watts your motor can handle being your limit idk how amps effect it but I woulda make it have more range and speed if I made one
Thanks. I simply connected the brake wire to the relevant connections on the motor controller's. I have now improved on the electric brake, video is here - ua-cam.com/video/dHTHZz2L2XQ/v-deo.html
@@willememmens9106 No, u can not do that. Do some research on the theme, i can not really explain more than this next few things: They will work on void, when there is no torque. ( so it will not work once u put it in the ground ) When there is a disturbance in one of the two motors, the controller will stop due to errors. And this errors will cause the motors to stop after a few seconds due to the controller not receiving the same magnetic electric charge.
@@nuggetczsk This has less range and no power to go up a ramp. It's a diy scooter. Can't expect much from it. And it's also not worth the effort, money and time invested in it. If you are good with electronics, you can buy some iphones 6 with broken glass, replace the original screen with chinese screen, also, buy some broken hooverboards, fix them, sell them and make 300 euros to buy a proper scooter. Or get a summer job at mcdonalds, make money and buy one of those long range powerful motors scooter. ✌️🛴
I have read in the comments in another Utube that two hub motors, while can be controlled by one throttle, will have energy loss due to magnetic feedback. I wonder if you see this happening and if so, it doesn't bother you? how far can it go with one charge?
You can do it! Connect in parallel! But since there's only one hall connector you can not connect the other wheel. Since it is a scooter, both wheels should not behave differently. But still buying two is a bit of a better choice. An alternative is to reprogram the main hoverboard motherboard.
Battery and wheels are simply wired as per the controllers wiring diagrams. Red, black and green throttle wires are attached to first controller, green throttle wire is simply split in a 'Y' to the second controller 👍
Did you wired the charger port directly to the battery output ? I asked about this lately and everybody told me to not use hoverboard battery and not to charge it directly without overcharge and undercharge protections and a bms circuit. But i guess the circuit in the battery pack includes them all, right?
@@robmakes8824 thanks, it helped so much , and one more thing is, should i wire positive to positive and negative to negative or pozitive to negative - negative to pozitive to charge the battery?
Basically any switch will work on that method cuz these controller most of them use low brake levels wish works in the 4v or 5v system when u hit the "swtich" the brake it goes down to 0v and the controller sends message to the motor to brake. To Clarify Think about it as 2 cables + and - when u hit the switch the cables connect 0v and scooters brake.

You've done a really good job there.

At the time of building I had nothing suitable to extended the handle bars. The scooter seems to ride ok with the stock handle bars 👍
Please do a diy video on converting a knee scooter into a seated electric scooter. Please pretty please! I’ll bet you’ll go viral!
Maybe one day...

I'm pretty sure that the battery controllers job to worry about
I’m digging the tunes
Very very nice applaud your creative skills and clean work.
Great build can’t complain
Great video !! i m planning to do this cuz i have useless hoverboard.
Did you ever do it? I'm planning to do it because mine has a dead battery and it's pretty scratched and stuff and I no longer enjoy it.
Amazing!! you deserve more likes on this video
ill never build this, just interesting to watch
Where did you find those cheap controllers? Can you share a link or something?
Nice job. Im making the same. Thanks for your video. ☺
Maximum speed
I'm fust as f*ck boyss!!!!!!!@@techshiva7671

The charger should be matched to the batteries voltage. Also the battery should have a BMS installed.
I wish things were that cheap in the USA 🇺🇸
Man nice work!
You only showed cheap scooters and saying that they are expensive.. 😄 the expensive ones are totally worth the money, especially the ninebots, you can get a used one for under 400 euros
Can we get a top speed on this? I’ve seen a lot of people use a different battery to get higher amps to the motor how does the hoverboard battery do?
Top speed is roughly 8 - 10mph 👍 The existing hover board battery provides enough amps, however range could definitely be improved.
Hoverboards underpowered as hell I had a Jetson rave with 400 watt dual motors only 12 mph scary ass hoverboard that I'd smoke with my 16 mph bird air 250 watt single back wheel drive motor having scooter I was just reading volts are what effect speed of course with whatever watts your motor can handle being your limit idk how amps effect it but I woulda make it have more range and speed if I made one

Very cool nice work
great job, how much km/h in speed
@@rachidbaaira9869 roughly 16km/h 👍
How do you wired it like how did you know which wire to solder to eachother
Did you wire the throttle in parallel?
Hi rob, could 1x 500w controller run both motors or is that not possible, I'm new at this and trying to figure out my options.
you maybe can but to be safe just use 1 controller for 1motor

Nice video,
what maximum speed can it handle?
Probably 20 km/h
And how far do you think it will go?
For example, the xiaomi scooter has only one engine and runs 30km, at a speed of 25km/h.

Speed is roughly 8 - 10mph 👍 Range could be improved with a larger capacity battery. Scooter has no trouble going up a ramp 😉
how do the controllers work with one throttle? special controllers? thats pairing or just throttle wire run and split like a Y? nice job btw
Thanks 👍 Green throttle wire is simply split in a 'Y' to each controller.

yall i am a child so i do NOT have the brains to do this mechanical work 😭🙏 BUT I WANT AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER SO BAD 😭
He says it’s cheap... until you have to buy the tools 😂
All tools most people will find in their garage or shed 👍 ...apart from a welder perhaps
@@robmakes8824 yeah true, I don’t have the welder lol
Can I connect x2 250w motors to x1 controller of 500w? Or I need a controller for each motor?
@@VosesitoElvose You need a controller for each motor 👍

Hi can i ask.. 36with 42volts controller with hoverboard battery 36volts 4.4 ah
Nice bro!!!
hello, can i have the electric circuit for this project please? i need it ad i will credit you for the work. thank you!
Yah same the wiring to the controllers got me 🧐
Battery and wheels are simply wired as per the controllers wiring diagrams. Red, black and green throttle wires are attached to first controller, green throttle wire is simply split in a 'Y' to the second controller 👍
What did you hook up the brake wires to?
They were attached to the brake wires on the motor controller. I have since upgraded to a mechanical disc brake. Please see my other video.
Super, thanks
try to open the motors, and do a "DELTA" connection in the phases of the motor
What does the delta connection do? Im building a similar one

get a swagtron t6 hoverboard then get 2 400w e-bike motors and swap
No explanation about wiring (as important as framing) ???
Wtd you did that to hoverboard

How much volt and ah is the battery
Xe này chạy chậm, motor chậm lắm, ko có giảm sốc.
Do you have the link for the motor controllers?
The controllers were purchased on eBay, however the listing is now no longer available.
What the maximum speed it can ride?
Roughly 8 - 10mph 👍
How do you connect your batteries to the controller if the have the xt60 output
Y connected from one battery to two controllers using 3 pairs xt60 very simple
Bonne idée.
I bought a fully working electric hoverboard for 4 bucks!
Yeah, normally they are diesel
hay un video donde con una central van las dos ruedas no hacen falta 2 llo lo e visto
Max speed ? And mailage ?
Top speed is roughly 8 - 10mph. I do not yet know the mileage per charge.
more better if you attaching a disk brake...
I have now attached a disk brake. Please see my other videos 👍
Where is connected the electric brake?
There Is a pair of wires on the controller
