DIY eBike Cost only $115 to Convert my bike - 250watt 24v geared motor, full Build

In this video I'm showing a homemade 250 Watt geared motor ebike and a full build of the ebike. I ordered the new parts on amazon cost about $115 USD for 250watt geared motor, 24v controller and throttle kit, two 12v lead acid batteries and one free wheel sprocket all other materials were rusty scrap metal that I recycled and the bike I already had. You can build this without welding by using two free wheel sprockets and an adapter just remove your cassette and install. I like to weld on the freewheel sprocket and keep the original gears. This ebike works really well I've been touring around I mostly use the motor for assist, makes riding up big hills very easy. I can use the bike as a full ebike, it gets up most hills without help from peddling and moves alone at a good pace. The batteries I'm using are 12 volt 10 amp hours two of them in series for a 24v 10ah battery I can get about 24 mins out of the batteries when using the motor constantly, if used for just peddle assist can probably ride for about an hour or more depending on how many up hill climbing.

I built a Cheap homemade ebike electric bicycle, how to build a cheap ebike at home,
No product placement in this video, all parts were bought on my dollar, I look for the best prices to build up a cheap geared ebike. You can build this without welding or can buy a kit that comes with the bracket to mount to your frame. Used a high torque 24 volt geared DC brushed motor.
This bike is a Raleigh Serengeti 21 speed with full suspension, the motor was mounted to the swing arm using a homemade bracket. bracket can be cut out with a angle grinder, I used a plasma cutter, 4 bolts hold the bracket onto the swing arm, no drilling into original bike frame. I charge the batteries with a 12v charger or I use some of my homemade solar panels with a solar charge controller.

I mean this in the nicest way possible but man what a dirty build, I love it. Welding everything together out of scraps and slapping on some paint with everything still together is exactly how I would have done it... I will do it, parts are ordered now

[@Sixalienasa]

You have an amazing clear concise precise way of explaining the process so others could do the same. Remind me to disregard anything you ever put up on TH-cam again.

[@OmarPopioco]

Perfect Video! Thank you for sharing your experience with a geared motor. I've been trying to find a good video demonstrating a low Voltage geared uphill climb! Keep up the inspiring builds!

[@RustRehab]

Looks cool, I've been thinking about either an ebike or one of those little 2/4 stroke bike motors sometime as a little commuter in the summer

[@Truth_Sigma]

Can you give us a link for the motor please i will appreacite it❤

[@Mr_Ravee]

I'd like to modify this setup to add a "crank powered" 750 watt ebike motor repurposed as a generator powering a 250/350/450 watt while charging a small battery pack or super cap bank.The goal here is to use as minimal lithium battery pack as possible.

[@patrickmahon3476]

Great video. Information dense. Awesome thank you

[@abc-ed1nr]

Could you use two car batteries if you wanted

[@gjespinosa4470]

Great content!
Is the motor fixed?
How did you manage to set it up at the left side?

[@latcakir]

Good job.

[@kurtscottage]

Thanks! 👍

[@Baldys_projects]

Cool builds

[@kurtscottage]

Thanks, I really appreciate it

[@biggibbs4678]

Nice chain breaker tool lmao

[@RobertthefirstKing-jy1gp]

Cool I just purchased a 12 volt electric motor with a gearbox but my controller only has 4 wires a block a red a yellow and a green and yellow and green I'm not sure how to hook this box up pressure in the box there is no stupid and stalking as to where the yellow and green wire go

[@crunchyy8498]

do you need to buy a separate battery or do you just need the controller that came with the kit

[@kurtscottage]

I bought everything separately for this build, I don't think any of the small kits come with batteries.

[@kavinkumarnaidu1383]

can you assist with the paddle when climbing hill

[@eduardoguedes1233]

I bought this kit but in this video you looks faster than I will be with mine... What controler are you using? It is the original 250 W controler from this kit? If not tell me, I wanna know how improve my bike

[@dillahbibi4747]

500w conthroller his using

[@Photocafe17]

May i ask what's your weight in this video?

[@panthergaming732]

Hi. is it possible to pedal while using the throttle ?

[@infogamerxyz9339]

Yes it's possible
Tip: do you want speed40 and premium look and long range milage you can use 36 volt 350 watt hub moter

[@makeitathome1327]

If you pedal the bike, would the motor charge the battery?

[@kaliamaha9744]

No

[@Watch-0w1]

How much is the battery?

[@danieliskandar4410]

I have the same kit but it is very slow and it is not able to go on hills do you think this is the motor problem or the battery

[@kurtscottage]

If you're using the same gearing as my setup and 24v 500 watt controller, sounds like it could be your batteries maybe check and see if your wires are getting hot also. I'm using new 10ah batteries and the bike will go up most hills without peddling of course steep hills I have to help the motor.

[@eduardoguedes1233]

@@kurtscottage whats this top speed?

[@anyiox6326]

do those 2 batterys work as 24v?

[@akeiai]

He bought a 12v motor, so he's using that battery in parallel, giving 12v
.If you want 24v, connect it in series.

[@baraitv6156]

how do you charge the battery?

[@Teknopottu]

Open the battery box and charge the batteries? If there is no 24V charger, you can charge the batteries one by one not needing to disconnect anything.

[@kurtscottage]

I charge the batteries individuality with a 2A NOCO charger/ maintainer. I also use a 24v charger from a lawn mower you can find them online. I think charging them individually is better

[@dryzl3910]

Bro used a razor motor

[@kurtscottage]

I did.. on my 350w ebike

[@powchainsamaniego6744]

That type motor I don't call it as a ebike

[@Teknopottu]

It is a bike running with an electric motor with or with out pedalling. Brushed or geared motor, it's still electric.
What would you call it?

[@powchainsamaniego6744]

@@Teknopottu I call cheap not even kit 😂

[@Teknopottu]

@@powchainsamaniego6744 There should be more of these around. Cheap electric bike travelling for anyone.

[@nonegone7170]

@@Teknopottu Cheap initially, but you'll be off cheaper if you buy a hub motor, these motors won't last long.

[@Teknopottu]

@@nonegone7170 May be. No experience on those, only little with hub motors. Seems like easily replacable, though.
