    This is one section of the FULL VERSION of the BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE instructional DVD.
    See the full written version of the project at: tinyurl.com/y9...
    In this section, we design the adapter plate which holds the electric motor in place on the motorcycle.
    I am placing the FULL VERSION of this video, complete, for free on TH-cam for anyone interested in working on their own electric motorcycle.
    This is one chapter of the original DVD. Please see the playlist for the COMPLETE set of videos.

    So I got a MotoEnergy motor that has a similar bolt hole layout on the face... I'm in the process of planning for a mount plate build and found your video(s) awesome... been following all! Question for ya though, I notice just like on mine there's a 4.5" (roughly) circle where the face of the motor enclosure on the shaft side is raised about 1/8" above the rest of the plate. It didn't look like you accounted for that when you cut out the mounting plate... did you notice it gave/bent at all after giving it some torque? Or did you accommodate for that gap with spacers or something? - hope what i'm asking makes sense! :)

    Not all types of stainless steel are non-magnetic; 430/416 Stainless is, whereas 303 typically is not. So the best thing to do when getting washers for this is to take a small magnet with you and check.

  • @scharkalvin
    @scharkalvin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brass or bronze washers are also not magnetic, but you'd need heavier ones. Stainless Steel should be easy t get though.

      You'd need the torque - RPM curve on a sheet. How much rotational force can the motor generate at what RPM. Manufacturers should supply these data sheets.
      I don't know the model though. Probably lots of info to be found on forums though.

    Ben, I find the diameter of the threaded rod a little bit too...just the right size. As an engineer I am prone to oversize my designs. Maybe someone who actually decides to build, will want to use larger rods, something I´d strongly suggest, because of the dynamic stress distribution and the levels they´re subject to. I come from 15 years of experience in oil industry, so...you can listen to what I say regarding this stuff. LOL.

    • @BenjaminNelsonX
      @BenjaminNelsonX  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jose,
      I didn't specifically do any particular engineering for the size of the hardware, but just essentially matched it up more or less with whatever was already there.
      Never had any issues with the mounts or anything else. Of course, it's pretty easy to to move everything up one size if that makes a person more confident. It would add minimal weight and cost to the project.

    Ben what motor would be good for a 85 MPH road bike, I do have a BMW 1200 GT with a bad motor and after seeing this I guess that would be my best bet.

    • @BenjaminNelsonX
      @BenjaminNelsonX  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For high-speed and high-performance, you will want a pretty good motor. Most likely, you would want to go with a 3 phase AC motor. Take a look at motorcycles on the EV Album to get ideas. www.evalbum.com/type/MTCY
      Go with as high voltage as you can for low current draw and maximum speed. Motenergy motors have been pretty popular for motorcycles, but for a larger bike, you could do something from the HPEVS AC family of motors, such as these:www.hpevs.com/hpevs-ac-electric-motors-for-motorcycles.htm

    Would converting a trike to electrike (haha) be more like this or like converting a car?

    • @BenjaminNelsonX
      @BenjaminNelsonX  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Building an electric Trike would be more like building a motorcycle than building a car. You would want to use a larger motor and battery than a motorcycle, but other than that, the only real difference would be an axle with differential. I've seen trikes done with small pickup truck rear axles with the motor mounted directly to the differentials. For some more ideas, visit the EV Album. www.evalbum.com Use the search feature and type in TRIKE.

    I am sure the aluminum plate he used was low grade stuff, but is good enough for this application. The higher strength aluminum is very hard and requires very sharp tools with coolant to cut it.

      Yeah, but you gotta go out of your way to find them. Most standard stainless steel is non-magnetic.
      You are right though, saying all stainless steel is non-magnetic is not correct.

    How do you protect the motorcycle and electronics from water?

    • @BenjaminNelsonX
      @BenjaminNelsonX  5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      There's not really that much to protect.
      The motor is essentially a "salad spinner". Any water that would get in just gets spun out.
      Motor controllers are internally sealed.
      In general, use nice clean electrical connections. Use heat shrink. Put rubber boots over power terminals. Use stainless fasteners (so they don't rust.)
      That's about it. I've never had any issues with water or weather.

      I didn't use lithium batteries because I built this motorcycle in 2007. Lithium batteries would have cost about $10,000 at the time.
      I've used lithium on later projects, such as the Vectrix. th-cam.com/video/jfhf1NQobWY/w-d-xo.html

      The spacing between the rotor and stator in this motor is almost EXACLTY the thickness of the washers I had been using. You do NOT want to have to take a permanent magnet motor apart to get a washer out! That was a HUGE pain!
      Not only are stainless steel components more appropriate for use in a vehicle, but they are non-magnetic as well.
