In this video I show how I built a torquey electric motorcycle from scratch in my home workshop using basic tools. I built this bike for less than HALF the price of an equally sized ZERO S (~$5000 Canadian). This aggressive looking streetfighter uses the same 24 kW (32 hp) drivetrain as the previous Cyber Trike project. The QS direct drive motor produces 250 ft-lb of instant torque, 150 km/h top speed at 120V, and the entire bike only weighs 300 lbs, making it comparable to most 300cc ICE bikes.
Power to weight ratio = 0.107hp/lb: goodcalculators.com/power-to-...
Acceleration rate using mass (136kg) and force (250 lb-ft starting torque) = 8.17 m/2^2

0-60 time = 3.28 seconds:

For comparison, a Honda CBR 300r sport bike has 30.5 hp and weighs 364 lbs (165kg). Using the same resources we can calculate power to weight ratio = 0.082hp/lb. Acc rate = 3.439 m/s^2, and it's documented to do 0-60 in 7.8 sec.

ROI breakdown:
Cost of build = ~$5000 total
Nominal battery capacity = 4.3 kWh
Life span of LiFePo4 cells = ~5000 cycles
Range per charge = ~80km @ 80% DOD (up to 100 km @ 100% DOD)
Grid energy cost per kWh to charge at home with 110VAC = $0.12/kWh
Cost per full charge (100 km 'tank') = 0.12 * 4.3 = $0.52
Cost per km for energy for electric bike = 0.52 / 100 = $0.005
Avg price of gasoline in Canada today = ~$1.50/ liter
Energy in 1L of gasoline = 8.9 kWh
Fuel economy of the most efficient petrol bikes = ~60 miles per gallon, or 25.5 km per liter
Cost per km for fuel for gas bike = 1.5 / 25.5 = $0.06
Electric bike energy cost savings per km = $0.06 - $0.005 = $0.055
Savings per charge/cycle (80 km) = $0.055 * 80 km = $4.40
Payback period based on full cycle charges = $5000 / $4.40 =
1136 cycles
OR
Savings per day based on driving an avg 40 km per day as a daily commuter = $4.40 / 2 = $2.20
Payback period = $5000 / $2.20 = 2272 days, or 6.2 years.
Ie: it will pay for itself in ~6 years (or 1136 cycles, more specifically), completely. LONG before the LFP battery wears out at 5000 cycles. At ~$200/kWh, I could replace the battery almost 6 times with the cost savings to be had - not that I would need to, though. I didn't factor in my time since I don't tend to keep track of it when I'm having fun, but a good fabricator should be able to build this in 2-3 weeks. At an avg wage of ~$20/hr in Canada, that translates to an extra ~$2K in labour. So technically, I guess it'll take 8-9 years to pay back the $7000 investment, which could be used to replace the battery around 7x in that time span, though it should only have gone through around 2000 of its total 5000 max cycle life span by then, so that's all $ back into my pocket, my friends (update - these calculations were based on set fuel prices before they skyrocketed so the results are relatively conservative, but should serve as a good example). 80% fuel eff vs 35%. Doesn't take rocket appliances :)

Check out my new electric buggy that I just finished building:
ua-cam.com/video/xBl3KHxCyQI/v-deo.html
Here are some answers to your most common questions about the bike:
#1 - "Why did you block the welding arc?" - Because flashing bright lights can trigger ocular migraines in people like myself which literally blind us temporarily, and can cause seizures for others. I can only weld for short periods at a time because of it. It has absolutely nothing to do with UV light or flash burn (which can not happen through a video).
#2 - "What's the top speed, acceleration time?" - I didn't fool around figuring these out on the road for what should be obvious legal, safety and liability reasons. These are better tested on a track, which I have no intention on renting because I personally don't care what the bike's limits are - I don't race professionally and I certainly won't be doing it on the street. But we can use well established math and science to figure it out for those of you who might be interested in building or converting a race machine to electric. Check out the video description for theoretical top speed and acceleration specs. You're more than welcome to build and test for yourself.
#3 - "What's the cost to build?" - See the video description. I broke down the cost and created a cost benefit analysis based on gas prices. Bare in mind the calculations were done prior to fuel prices doubling recently, so the savings to be had will be substantially more than what I've shown.
#4 - "Why steel? It's heavy!" - for the same reason most street bike frames are made of steel, because it's affordable and not too heavy. This frame (including swingarm) weighs 30lb. You can verify using the BOM and links below. For comparison, a typical aluminum sport bike frame weighs 26-28lb. The lightest motorcycle frames are in dirt bikes, weighing anywhere from 17-25lb. Street and sport bikes are the next heaviest at 25-30 lb, and cruiser frames can weigh between 50-80lb. Aluminum or carbon fiber would shave 5-10 pounds from it's total weight of 300 lb. Do the math - at 80 km/h that might translate to saving 30-40 watt hours of energy per charge. At 100 km range per charge from the 4 kWh battery with the current weight, dropping 5-10 lb to save 40 Wh might translate to adding an extra 1-2 km per charge. The end doesn't justify the means. Steel tube chassis' are far more affordable for one-off custom build and a lot easier for the avg bike builder to make - that's why 99% of street bikes still have steel tube chassis': www.electromotive.eu/?page_id=12&lang=en
#5 - "Can a completely custom motorcycle be licensed?" - YES. Any custom personal vehicle can be licensed and insured for public road use as long as it meets safety and equipment standards for use in your state/province/country. Some folks seem to think it's impossible unless you're a manufacturer, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Here's a breakdown of how it works in my humble little province of New Brunswick:
Step 1: Know what you're doing. Building a custom vehicle is not a project for the avg DIY'er. You're going to need to acquire some skills and knowledge in automotive design and fabrication before jumping into something like this. I don't mean an engineering degree, but you'll need to at least spend a fair amount of time training with someone competent in automotive work. Like an apprenticeship. If you're not following a set of plans, then you'll need to dive deeper into things like chassis design and suspension geometry - it matters, a lot.
Step 2: Check with a local engineering consultant about the regulations and requirements for custom personal vehicles to be licensed in your area. Again, you can license your own ride, as long as it meets the requirements, which will differ with region. It would be wise to talk to your insurance company at this point, too.
Step 3: Build and test your ride. You'll need to play guinea pig. Take it for a ride in a parking lot. Check the brakes first, then performance, tune the suspension, etc. If you can, book a track for a day.
Step 4: When you're confident that you've done a good job, book an appt with a local engineer to have your ride inspected and tested on a brake and power dyno. If it passes, they'll certify it safe to be driven on public roads.
Step 5: Take said certification to the DMV to apply for a VIN# and acquire a license/registration. You'll need to prove that the vehicle is yours, so keep EVERY receipt for every part, nut and bolt that you buy and install. If you can't prove it belongs to you, then you won't get a title for it.
Step 6: Purchase insurance.
Step 7: enjoy your ride.
With this bike, you will save a significant amount of $ in the build compared to buying, but it WILL cost you more for the initial inspection (you only need an engineer to inspect it once), licensing and probably insurance too. So do your homework before jumping into it. But for most builders, the satisfaction of driving your own creation is well worth the $ spent. NO - crash testing is not a requirement for custom personal vehicles OR mass produced commercial vehicles anywhere in the developed world, contrary to popular belief. Manufacturers conduct crash test solely to further innovation and win safety awards that serve as bragging rights when marketing their products.

Amazing build!
Exactly thats what I commented too !!
I don't know how many it takes to be able to build one of these without a jig, but I suspect it's many a week/month!

When someone makes an entire motorcycle from scratch and makes it look easy, you know that the big companies do no good on electric transport....
I have all of the “raw” skills this guy has… I can weld, shape, electric…. And I am convinced it would take me 5 years to fabricate all these parts. Superstar. Subbed.
How would it ever take 5yrs...
I'm mechanical engineer by profession and i dnt think that i would take 5yrs to fabricate for you,8-12mnths of dedicated work will be enough..
just get a donor bike and fab around the battery
@@aniketwasnik4569 I get what you're saying but the man used a grinder on the head tube as a lathe. Next level one man factory, then he's done all the recording and editing as well
Ok come and join with me a business to build a electric motorbike in Nepal . Your idea my investment.
right i wonder the hours he has in it .it looks pretty dam good i can weld, fabricate , body work ,have a fair bit of electrical knowledge . but man i would of ruined the project or it would end up ugly and functional , kinda ...
Dude… this is extremely impressive with minimal equipment like yours! On a personal level it’s actually…… manageable!!
Just think guys, this is his first design. Just wait until he improves it even more. I wish him all the luck in the world and hope to see him develop and grow a company.
I would buy as many products from him as I could afford.
Hope he could build a tank
@@michaelmyers_dl2673 me too.
For me, even this one is also good enough. Amazing...
I hope he sells them. Guys sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders.
can we just appreciate that he shields our eyes when he welds
Yes, that was very creative!!!
Appreciated.
it makes me feel weirdly happy
He knows we'll be watching at 3am.
Yes it’s coll
Did we just witness 1 person building an entire bike start to finish. Mind = Blown. Insane build skills. Brilliant!
I consider myself talented in many areas, but you sir are ridiculous! Insane talent and skill to not just accomplish this but also make it look easy! Well done!
No noise to disturb neighbor ✔️
Need speed ✔️
Light design ✔️
Sustainable ✔️
No pollution ✔️
Need copyright your own brand, do it. Brand it.
Overall, 10/10.
Further tweak: possible.
I like it👍👍👍
what about the pollution of the wheels ?
Even your mum farts, can't to anything bout it lmao
Pollution of materials made in factory for bike lol. No escaping it
Energy to charge the battery?

The only change I'd love to do is changing the location of the electric bike from your garage to mine. Awesome work!!
Hei me too
😆 🤣 😂

No, mine!
i don't even have a garage 😂
This gives a whole new meaning for the phrase "Built not bought." Amazing work man.
One of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam, most of the nodes were assembled from scratch, independently, beautifully and seriously. Thank you for this experience.
Hang on... that torque was limited to 16%, destroyed the road and nearly launched off the test pad in the garage? Sheesh! Man, this is a thing of perfection! Bravo sir, well done. You have my admiration. The design, attention to detail and engineering on display here is something to behold.
That's what makes electric motors so silly good.
Torque is massive and the same across its entire rpm range.
@@enlightendbel oh no doubt. It was a sight to behold (when it's not a car)
🤣🤣🤣🤣👋🏽✌🏿💯
40 ft-lb is about the amount of torque your average 650cc single cylinder dual-sport bike makes at its peak torque (5-6000rpm or so)... Those things are considered torquey compare to inline engines. this thing makes that very same amount right from the bat and across the whole rev range AND its limited to only 16% crazy if you think about it!
Its like that scene in the first Iron Man with the test flight lol
I came here trying to learn about converting my bike. This guy builds it from the ground up. Beast.

He built a full blown e-bike from scratch. How can someone unlike this. damn.
Dislike ?
Probably oil companies
Was shocked to see unlikes
E bike companies..they will be at loss if everyone builds their own😂

I watched this with my dad and now he is planning on build an e-rod with this. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
The most impressive thing about the build is that, he did it all by himself
an electric trike next

meanwhile some motovloggers make 10 episode series about cleaning the chain lmao
for real tho
LOL 😅
😎🤏
Ahahaha my maaaaan😂
😂😂😂😂🎉
Thank you for this video. I think it inspires a lot of people by now, many people will definitely choose e-motorcycles now since it does not consume petrol. A very timely innovation indeed . ❤️
That seat cover stapling part was so satisfying
Just did in his garage what took big manufacturers years to perfect ....And this is just a prototype... all the measurements and geometry.. Kudos to you Sir.. you are a true engineer !
He's a fabricator. An engineer would have to figure out how to make it lighter, with less material, with fewer steps and at much less labor cost.
"took big manufacturers years to perfect" you are soo fkin dmmbb, almost an 1d1ot. manufacturer sell their bike, 1. they need to comply the regulation, 2. design it to match the specific cost 3. availability the supplier, labor, production line, etc 4. many other reason, i doubt your tiny brain can handle more than 3 shits.

Dude, you engineering is a fantasy. Your video inspires me.
I take off my hat and bow deeply to this enormous DIY talent! Such skills are rarely seen in metal construction. The best solution I found was how to "grind" a ball bearing mount into the head tube with a clamped cut-off grinder... Really clever!
Only thing that could have made the video better was putting the Cyberpunk 2077 music at the end, lol.

Your build rocks, thank for the idea on how to make a rigid swing arm. 😎 Building one for my electric scooter conversion as well.
Not only home built but doesn’t even have the basic machinery - amazing. Vaseline for mold release - amazing
I was so impressed with his hard work and didn’t know where to start, I started doing push-ups 😂
right! :D
Almost 5000 oil CEOs and investors dislike this video. 😂 Truly amazing work! I like how your bike looks. Compared to the commercially available ones yours looks really dope!
That is good without using gasoline
Yep!
Eh, would still rather have an engine. nothing beats the sound of a crossplane R1
Genius, every auto maker has their own electric crap. Drop out the crack pipe.
Goes to show that a DIY project can also be a piece of art
Mad demonstration of skills. Much respect to you on a great build.
Thats just awesome! I built a little electric trike last year... very simple stuff.... but took me many months of blood sweat n tears....v. proud of it....but nothing like this... this is next level - genius stuff.....
A team can't build such piece of engineering. You did it alone.
You have no clue how much time he took. In addition, he has no real restrictions on money
A team needs to build it thousands in a year with any problems. So they simplies the bikes
Indeed. There are things any of us have *already* done alone that he/she would have never done in team, because of team. Luckily, the Man is not bounded by team.
All he did really is modeling. But still, its really insane.
I would give a like, but the number is just too perfect
"This quarantine was not boring to me" he said
amazing work man,and very nice futuristic look,i already wanna have one,electric vehicule like this is very useful ,quite and you can avoid smoke ,oil and motors problems,love it 😍
Boy!🥶that's the coolest thing I saw someone build with their own hands. 🥶🙌🏻
This man's eyeballing techniques are crazy precise... is he even human?
Nope he's a cyborg sent from the future to infiltrate the motorcycle industry to use against mankind and take over the world

Calling this “mind blowing” is an understatement. I rank you top 5 of all times on UA-cam without a second thought.
There's no two ways about it, this guy's just hella impressive... 💯💯
I've only seen 2 of your video's, bit I already gotta admit you must be the best fabricator on here.. Wish i had a tenth of your skills. Absolute madness
Absolutely inspiring. I've got a "custom" streetfighter in my living room that I've fabricated several of my own parts, but I've been itching to build my own frame. It's got to feel incredibly rewarding when people ask 'where'd you get that bike?' and you get to say I made it. Awesome work man and the bike looks bad ass.
You live in your own world man. No talking, no neighbours, just making home made motorbike and enjoying it.
this is one of the coolest things i've ever seen on the internet. ❤
Dude that was seriously impressive. Respect.
I just sat in silence for 30 mins, this man is seriously talented
I would buy one of these
This is where it all started “beginning of cyberpunk 2077”
This didn't get delayed though
@@dkd7670 exactly 😂
Looks like only 59 fans of cyberpunk found this ... Lol

Hahhaahahah 8t
Bro this is literally the coolest thing I’ve seen all year. Great build all together and great video editing also!
the build from your videos is so unique that i love to watch all of them..
love how this is just mostly welding and cutting, no extremely expensive/fancy tools like a cnc machine or what have you, just technical skill with a welder and some patience.
inspiring to say the least man. Good stuff.
You are the ultimate representation of many mom's saying: "We have this at home"
😂😂
I have just gotten so much inspiration! There are so many business ideas out there!
That freehand fabrication, wow! This is master class level. Amazing work man!
Dude, you've inspired me. And I'll tell you how and why...
As a guy who loves Hydrogen-powered trucks and cars, I got to say I have a little bit of a liking for e-bikes. Recently my dad said that I could buy his E-Wheels EW-10 from him. I've had so many ideas since then and I decided that I'd build an electric cargo trike capable of at least 90 mph (since I want to use it on the interstate). A few lead acid marine batteries, a high voltage controller (72v-96v) and an industrial 9000w electric motor is all I need to make one heck of an errand runner.
Fucking top tastick
@@shellyonit2871 Thanks, UA-cam bot.
This guy legit built a bike by himself! 😱😱😱😱 mind blown!
I'm from Philippines and I'm so proud of you sir.
Amazing talent! Please use the multi vibrating tool next time you cut fiberglass, The vibrating head will not blow dust everywhere and the carbide blade cuts through the glass like butter. The maneuverability is amazing as well.
_“Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave...with a box of scraps!”_
This man took it seriously!
I am all the way looking for Ironman references in comment section. And I got you
i was thinking the same
Tony who? Hold my beer... Watch this...
Hello bro Tony did not make bike in cave..watch the movie properly first.
Awesome design, you should try to build an electric dirt bike next. Something futuristic like your other builds. I love your work. Keep them coming.
Yesssss .. please please do a mid drive motor electric dirt bike build.
@@sujangthapa5782, Christian Williams........ Already done....go to his channel, videos are there.
A well utilized lockdown, you're a genius bro!
What an inspiration, you certainly know what you're talking about
This something that everybody should watch on youtube
I can't imagine how incredible feeling it must be to ride your own creation and I don't care it's electric. The sound, that can be heard during the test indoors, reminds me of Star Wars which I like :D
Its better when its with a carburetor,
Yea, I built my own ebike and people come up to me all the time and ask "is that electric??" and Im like "Yeah, I built it myself" and they're like :O
I'd have done a few things different aesthetically but I never will because I lack the raw talent. I recognize an artist when I see one. Kudos dude.
As cool as it looks, the thrill and the adrenaline from the throttling sound of a bike cannot be replaced.
Thanks, iyo though - obviously that's subjective. Some might say the thrill and adrenaline of riding a bike is what can't be replaced, which is universal whether we're talking motorcycles or the pedal bikes we all started out on as kids. I love the (lack of) sound of an electric motor as much as the brap from an ice. Sometimes I'm in the mood to raise hell, most times I just want to cruise and enjoy the ride. But that's just me ;)
This guy can built a motorcycle brand
Agreed
Thanos eCycle
This guy can make his own company of bike 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ha can sell the project to Musk
But he can't produce in bulk quantity
This guy literally redefined the meaning of "DIY" 🤘
That looks tight. A work of art. That was some wicked burnouts you did.
The best video I've ever watched. I can work next to you only for the stomach fullness. I do errands, clean the shop, arrange the tools, briefly become your apprentice.
Wasn't expecting you to literally build one from the ground up, manufacturing nearly everything in house. Incredible video, if I only had a tenth of the skill you have I feel like I could achieve so much.
Get off the electronics and study up on something and you can. It’s as simple as releasing yourself from the chains that keep you bound in your current predicament
@@thisjustin7492 couldn't agree with you more.
Cooler looking than any e-bike I have ever seen in any dealership, and it was built by one man in his garage. Mind blowing 👌
"Ebike"
I'm so impressed... Unbelievable but you really did it. Respect!
This was friggin amazing. You are talented holy cow
Most build I have watched are just people adding kits to existing bikes , this the first time I've seen someone actually build the bike from scratch!
Awesome.
Top speed ???
I once tryed building a motorcycle in 30 minutes - it never got finished - respect!
Try 32 minutes that should work
This is a work of art
That looks so sick. I'd love to see all the metal rusted just to give it that mad max type feel
this man made the whole build process look like it was as easy as building lego sets
I'm jealous of the shop and the free time and the materials and the battery and the motor and the welder I'm just jealous
If you know what he's doing it actually doesn't look easy. He probably put 1000 hours into, holy shit.
@@intelgen7860 exactly, i have no idea wtf hes doing hence why it looks easy
You only saw the good takes. You didn't see all the time on the side, fixing mistakes, filling holes, redoing whole pieces, cutting off designs that didn't really work, etc. Custom 1-off projects never go as smoothly as they seem on an "in summary" build video like this. If you look closely, you can see this little mistakes, or changes, and the fiberglass broken bits. I'm not saying I'm any better, I'm crap when it comes to documenting my builds, but it's a process.
@@dadsfriendlyrobotcompany yea i know its really time consuming and takes a lot of work to do, im just saying that this video made it look easy
I simply do not understand, people are out of their mind or what? Why to dislike this masterpiece !!! This is something extra ordinary. This is an engineering ❤️❤️🔥🙏 Master🙇
502 are Bike companies which produce shit models for a high cost.
Cause it is electric
@@faisalali3888 yes offcourse. I don't about you.but I cannot do this project like he did. That's wonderful man. Respect to his dedication and hardwork and he is producing somethin and that I respect the most.
@@faisalali3888 also it's just a joke. Coz he ain't forcing anyone to buy this.
It worked, thank you very much sir. I have now sold all my sheep and have a very successful business making these bikes. I can't express my gratitude enough for giving me and my family this amazing opportunity, thank you.
The music at the end makes it sound like it's an action movie with the truck chasing the guy on the bike.
Jokes aside, huge respect and great build
Son: I want a motorcycle
Mum: We got motorcycle at home
Motorcycle at home but this time it’s actually a badass beast of a machine: ...
1K dislikers who think they can build a better one. Come on man, look at this masterpiece.
Probably people who were disappointed that it wasn’t very fast. Or people mad that he wore all that leather but no gloves. Who knows s
Or from the petroleum companies.
The oil industry has a legion of burner accounts
to see it from spot welds to test drive is just so satisfying
They're just being jealous

This is really a good video to watch thank you for making it 🤙
