- Project E-Ruck! Swapping our Honda Ruckus to Electric! Is it worth it? How many miles can we expect to get? Will we make a kit and sell it? Why Electric? How much is the build? Can we charge at Tesla stations? All these questions and more answered in this video! Thank you for the continued support and tuning in to Project E-Ruck!

If you don’t make a kit. Sell me schematics to cut the metal so I can build me one lol. I really want this to work and I really wanna own one. It looks super clean and not a whole lot of wiring.
I'm hoping this is still in play, I am eyeing a 2009 ruckus with a blown motor for $1500...I have no idea if that's cheap or not lol but figure I can start breaking it down and hopefully this does become a kit, I've done the 48v razor rsf650 and mx650, but need something cooler like this!
Any kit updates?
yes im watching 2016 ruckus as well, I want to do this so bad but I know it looks harder then it appears
It'd be cool if someone sold mounting/adapter kits for all kinds of GY6 based mopeds, make ones or electric conversions, honda gx small engine conversions, etc.
The problem is the cost- it's why none of these have been mass produced. New rear wheel mounting solution/swing arm and a way to add suspension (difficult to engineer), need to add the motor mount onto the swing arm, design a rear wheel sprocket or belt drive and mount it to a wheel- the wheel will probably have to be custom, too. Then add a high discharge battery pack, a controller, and mounting solutions for those, and a new wiring harness. The cost would be massive. You could do it DIY for way cheaper if you know how to weld, but getting all the parts machined by a company like send/cut/send would be insanely expensive too.
10k for the kit Only I’m thinking like $1,245.99 same price that a gy6 swap kit would go for but 2k would be a better price
I was also a hater until the super73
You could add a J1772 adapter so you can use ev charging stations!
any update on that kit?
Love it! Can’t wait to see more progress on this build. Definitely the next level in the Ruckus game 🙌🏾
We appreciate your support 🙏
@@flpparts any updates on this project
Greetings!. I'm curious if you guys are in the market to build a swing arm for a ruckus electric conversion using a 12-in hub motor. I would prefer to buy one from you than build it myself since my fabrication skills are more on the electrical side than the machining side. And of course I would suitably promote it on my TH-cam channel (I know it's a small channel but hopefully we'll grow)
Nice project. FYI, it's either 4000 watts or 4kw. You keep saying 4000kw which is 4 megawatts 😅
I'm sub #338. Don't forget when your channel crosses the million mark 🙈
It would be nice to make a Evo Drag Scoot. I have some mechanical/design drawings I'd like to make into production but don't have the machining equipment to do it, like your products and designs keep putt'in in the work as we as a community will purchase products so thats what makes our scooters unique. Looking for the next video Keep Up The Good Work.
Love seeing this kind of innovation and pushing the hobby forward. 👍
Appreciate it Mike 🙏
That thing is sweet!!! I can't wait to see how this turns out!
Appreciate it 🙏 thanks Mike!
12000 kilowatts? Thats equivalent to 16000 horsepower😄
You probably meant 12000 watts which is 12 kilowatt😅
I love it , if you start making kits
You would be super swamped in work
Oh dude that thing is going to be beautiful can't wait to see the progression just subscribed
Really appreciate it, thanks for the support 🙏🤘
i bet the range will be around 30-50 miles even if you are riding conservatively.... i call bullshit on that 100-mile range claim
Brooooo.... how can I get something like this asap
Thanks for the shoutout!
I’m the one building the Honda ZoomEL :)
thank you for the inspiration brotha ! soon soon we will be rolling what speed and range are you getting from your build
@@flpparts Max speed 58mph and about 40miles range.
Wonder what it cost to build something like that?
The fact you can run a full size tire is dope af!!! I can’t wait
Good job dude sharing the E-Ruck progress :) Honest²
thank you brotha !!! hope all is well ,
Just add to your knowledge, you can't use regen braking when your battery is absolutely full. The way around this is to never charge your battery to the top or to design a circuit that bleeds off the regen energy into a giant resistor when it detects the batteries can't take anymore.
I’m always surprised that bleed resistor circuits to prevent re-gen overcharging aren’t more common. In fact I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a PEV with one. Seems like it’d be a simple solution doesn’t it?
@@maukaman it depends on the amount of energy. If we're talking about a ruckus, it's a few hundred watts to a few kilowatts, but if we're talking about a car, the resistor would be gigantic.
Very excited to see this finished. Great work....
You and me both , ! soon we will be burning rubber ;)
It’s funny & scary how opposed people are to electric-vehicles (from misinformation) …. But then they try one, & the torque speaks for itself. 😂
Definitely funny to see all the different sides people take haha
Any update on this water a year???
Will you be offering this kit?
Four thousand kilowatts…….wow……
Just realized that you guys are Flp, had your tailight a while back.
thank you for the support !!
Just sales kit and whole bike
Sweet that one badass 50k ruckus.
😂🤪
what kind of Battery ?
When will the kits come out
Goijg to build my Burgman like this man. Ive built some electric bikes and a dirtbike and theyre so much better
Hell yeah bro let us know how that goes! Yeah we were hesitant for a while but it does give such a different type of driving experience.
Fun fact: You can easly run this qs on 18-25kw without any problem
Regen breaking is programable on most controllers so you can even lock a wheel with this
Still working on this?
Great work
Hi. What is the tire size?
I like it but that price killed it for me… well who knows I might change my mind.
This is an old video , we have an actual price breakdown on flpparts.com
sick
🙏
What a way to go,that's really nice. Didn't you build a green ruck years ago on utube.
I came for the motor. .
I stayed cuz damn!
Great work
Neutral drop
Are you gonna sell that tank cover?!? Will it work with gas ?
Nice, but needs a 8-10KW motor minimum..
Good job.,
the computer designs are amazing , how did you do that
The program is Fusion 360. We actually have a new update on this project. If you want to check it out, you can find it here:

❤
Are you going to make a conversion kit available? I want one!
I'm waiting for the next episode. Love it! 😍
Awesome!🤩
What brand and size wheels are those?
Looks great dude
Thank you !!
this is badass but I'm thinking about the daymak beast 2
Dope!
🙏🙏🙏
What software to you use to model out the pieces?
Excited to see the results! Quality work!
Thank you!
I would buy this if y’all made this as a kit
Pending on how by the looks would be worth it
Are you planning on selling a kit?
Hi Kevin, probably not unfortunately.
I’m buying a kit as soon as it comes out
Omg awesome build🤩😻
absolutely blown away , great job . im looking at all these before I start mine . you video was great and very informative
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
This is legit awesome
Beautiful 😍
dont forget that they under rate motors because they will burn out faster running them at higher amps/volts and all that but any motor can go faster by over volting them and higher amps but they are not rated to last long if you do that.I would buy a 12kw or 20kw motor and running reliably that way at pretty much all speed needed to run the Ruckus, I talked to a motor supplier that sells a 12kw motor continues with the controller the disc brakes and temperature sensor shipped all for 1,699 that is a steal for that strong of a motor plus all the things needed and would not have to worry about over volting it or higher amps that will run on 72-96 volts nominal .Because one reason I did not get into the Ruckus before was there slow speed even upgrading it to get about 60-70mph all the cost and things just to get it that speed was way to much for the low speed just to keep up with traffic but now that good electronic motors are coming out more often it opens up a hole new ball game and want to start my own setup on one.
Quick question, if you made this fully electric and therefore assume street legal in regards to emissions, would you have to even notify the DMV? Considering you actually improved the entire bike as far as removing the gas, exhaust, and minimized overall maintenance. I would think you would be good.👍
Thanks freaking dope 💯🔥
Thanks man, appreciate it. This project has actually been thrown aside, but we're going full force on the E-Grom, be sure to check that out, updates coming soon!
