Hey mate I’ve spent so much time on making a dyno to test a alternator that I converted into a motor that I forgot the reason I converted the alternator!! It was to make a vehicle for my boys. Your video has pushed me to finish it with my boys and they love it! Thanks I will have a video up soon it’s crazy fast
I did my motor mount differently, that has no adjustment for chain tension. I made the motor plate then put bolts though the elongated holes in the original engine mount then clamped the plate on top, flipped the quad over and tack welded the bolts to the plate and finished them off with it off the frame. So now I have a motor mount plate with studs that go though the original mount and can slide back and forth, add a but to the bolt threads to raise the plate so you have clearance for the motor bolts to go in from underneath.
@@ntdracing my frame is almost identical to yours, im assuming you mean the spring loaded tensioner when you say it can be tensioned at the rear? I have not kept that as it runs soooo much quieter without it and having a sliding mount means i can tension from the front. Extreme suspension travel on the rear arm can produce a slightly slack chain situation without a rear tensioner while the suspension is compressed but it returns to the preset tension as soon as the arm returns to its normal ride position. The chain vibrated up and down so much when it was engine powered that the chain could come off when it went slacker but that has not been a problem since it went electric :)
Great video. I would love to do this with my granddaughter. She loves spannering.. and electric vehicles! Can I ask where you got the Electric motor etc and battery pack from? It looks very well matched to the ATV.
I bought them both on Ebay. The Ebay numbers were 224065335567 for the battery and charger and 233614028748 for the Motor and controller. Thanks for watching.
This is awesome. I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old with some 110cc Chinese quads that are constantly a problem. Been thinking about doing this but I've never messed around with electric conversion before. Seems simple enough right? Is it easy to manage the speeds through the electric controller?
I have a few videos in my playlist. ua-cam.com/play/PLMrLQ2KnHk278moWUTSnQ62D_7I30qJDX.html. After some practice I can go fro idea to fusion 360 to cutting in about 2 minutes. Hope the videos help.
You're doing the dad thing right! Good on ya, Brother!

Can’t wait to see it.
Great video and great quality time with ya son. Props to you
You’re a great dad. ❤️
Thanks. Tough job. Much respect for the parents out there.
Rad build! Maybe look into putting in a pententiometer, then you can adjust the voltage, turn it down for the kids, crank it up for the adults!
Electric scooter parts has an inline one for the throttle plug
Front battery and engine puts more weight forward making it less likely to flip.

Good point, and sounds like you have a good design. Fortunately on this old quad, the chain can be tensioned from the rear. Thanks for watching.

Move the batteries off the nose. If they get damaged in a crash it will be fireworks
Working with your son on this fun little project, you win the father of the year award sir 👏

That thing rocks, I want one!
Love this vid. Starting them early. ❤. Any clips of it buzzing around?
How much did This cost
I got something similar started right now, I have a 2000w motor for mine, hoping it's going to rip!
Wow! Make sure to wear a helmet. I want to see the videos.

It was easy to dial it down with the controller we used. I basically added a switch to make it 1/2 power. It is fast at full power.
Okay cool I think im going to give it a shot. Thanks for responding!

How fast is it?😊
Love this video!
Thanks. Sure could have used your garage for painting.
That is street legal if electric and labeled
It's a 2 stroke 😂 u hydro locked it
Why a DC motor?
Super cheap. We did use a brushless motor on his next build. Big power jump.
