- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video we are building another electric dirt bike, this time we are modifying the dirt bike engine and installing the electric motor into the engine so therefore we can still have the 6 speed transmission and clutch.

Of all the DIY electric diy bike builds I've seen this is the coolest engine/trans setup I've seen.
Absolutely!
Idk about diy considering he used a mill and a lathe. More like professional electric bike build.
@streetlegalbuilds7644 DIY means "do it yourself" he used the lathe to make the parts himself..
It’s builds like this that really show the difference between you and many other builders on TH-cam. Love watching, keep it up 👌🤟
i'm following this channel for the better part of 6-7 years (whenever you built the homemade lathe, thats how i found you) and its amazing how far you have progressed, the level of craftsmanship has gotten so high while still maintaining (mostly) relatable content, like you can build all the stuff you build with not that much of equipment, thats really nice to see.
Me: Enjoying the montage music. Chris: SOOOOOOO
Great projekt, btw if you want your torch to last longer stop trowing it around like a hammer
Btw if you want people to take you seriously, spell better.
Enjoyed the CAD (cardboard-aided design.)
Mad respect Chris. This is by no means an easy project. Im very invested in it now and can’t wait to see the next video’s. Keep up the good work.
It’s going to work perfectly and is what a rider would want.
Riding having perfect control
Congratulations on becoming part of my regular weekly build video rotation
haha same!
Same
i liked the part where he said i dont have to hugely modify the cases !!! ha ha i thought i was going to choke on my tea!! We live in different worlds of talent my talent ran out at stripping the bike down i would love to be able to do this kind of thing and i would like to ride this bike when its done ..Great job
hole saw and a steel bolt on plate hogged out with an angle grinder lol is what I would consider " not alot of work".
Always look forward to seeing your work on Sundays!
except for turds boring bike projects
what a waste of talent and engineering
Behold ... the mad scientist in his natural habitat. Here he lives on scrap metal shavings and whole coffee beans. His process will produce something magical!
Simply amazing bro
You certainly have an amazing gift for working with abstract shapes and designs. It’s fascinating watching you work.
When I was young with my dirt bikes I would sand the case haves on the smooth concrete floor. Not with sand paper, just on the concrete. Still do it that way after all these years.
this electric bike build looks way more pro compared to the others with the wheel motors and all that this looks like a proper electric engine
Hey man, been following you since the beginning. I don't make suggestions ever, but on this one, I am. Gusset that mounting plate to other parts of the casting/welded structure. The motor is likely going to twist that plate. Nothing you don't already know.
A support on the other side of the motor maybe would help
One of three TH-cam fabricators I genuinely enjoy watching the videos in full. Continue doing great fab/build videos🛠️
Dude, you really do need a piece of land for your own with a bad ass shop.
Sir, I have to compliment you. In todays' world most individuals who claim to be mechanics are actually just Replacers. I consider a mechanic being an individual who has the ability to fully rebuild a machine or parts of a machine. Sir, you are true mechanic.
I very much appreciate the way you describe the difficulties and the errors. Nothing is perfect but you are working with very fine tolerances and have a sophisticated level of precision. Great projects, good on you.
If you’re going to be welding old oil soaked alloy often get yourself a dishwasher.
Give the material a cycle with cheap powder then one with vinegar.
If you pull it out while it’s still hot it will save preheating.
You, sir, are a genius. Amazing machining. Absolutely love watching your videos
I like your design on the engine to fit a electric motor in the former engine this has to be your better electric dirt bike build ever😊
Hi Chris, always look forward to watching your videos on a Sunday night. You have to be one of the best fabricators out there. Keep learning and sharing please.
Love this project. I suspect that you only really need two or three gears. The extra torque from the motor will be fine with bigger gaps between gears than a small ICE motor. You could probably play with the shift drum to skip a couple of gears.
Greetings from Norway! I am anti anything electrical vehicle at this point. Waste of resources to fix a non existing made up problem. But i have to say this transmission mod has been really interesting and I’ve been impressed at how you keep making your projects more complex as you grow in skills. Big fan of your channel. And as long as you keep your builds growing in complexity I will forgive you for your electric projects! God bless you for your high quality entertainment as well as letting us learn with you!
What's your plan when fossil fuels run out? Like it or not, electric is the future
@@jim4041 Let's be real here, cow farts are gonna blow up, they're the future of clean propulsion 💨🔥
@@jim4041you obviously haven't seen what goes into making an electric vehicle. A lot of fossil fuels are used to source materials and to produce those things. Modern gas powered cars can get upwards of 40mph and those are arguably more "green" than any electrical car out there. Also in case you weren't aware, electricity isn't a natural resource, it's created by means of coal, natural gas, and in rare occasions nuclear.
@@brad6779 I'm fully aware of what goes into making an electric car. I'm also aware that lithium mining uses large machinery that operates off fossil fuels. I'm also aware that there is still coal, gas and nuclear power stations. My question is still the same. When fossil fuels run out, what is the alternative? Electric vehicles are no means perfect atm but it has to start somewhere. It will be refined and get better with technical advancements.
@@jim4041 they have been going on about peak oil for 70 years now without it ever arriving. "Fossil" fuels is just a theory which, if you look into it, is holding less and less water. With electric vehicles we are using up much more finite resources which could be used for things we actually need instead of this globalist scam of global warming. There is no way we are going to be able to get to the levels of electric vehicles the leftist idealogues are desperately trying to force us to believe. Math just doesnt add up. As for wind and solar thats something else that does more harm to the environment its supposed to save, and its another scam where the rich is stealing money from tax payers. As for hydroelectric that works well, my whole country is powered by it. But theres not enough feasible places to build dams to cover the demand without destroying the nature. Ontop of all this the infrastructure is in no way shape or form equipped to handle the demand if even 50% of cars get switched to electric.
Great video!
It is very important not to conterminate the aluminium with an metal used grinder disk.
thumbs up
Most beautiful invention ever
this is by far one of my fav projects on TH-cam right now, cant wait for part 4
At 7:11 , you mention porosity. Cast aluminum just does that , sometimes it's real bad. The more you try to fix it , the worse it gets. I weld automotive transmission cases ALL the time and you get good ones and bad ones....I use either 4047 or 4943 filler , to make grinding and machining MUCH BETTER
Excellent job considering what you were welding!👍
I'd suggest adding a support to the back of the motor so case doesn't see the bending loads from motor mass.
Excellent work. That's my opinion.
so dope! i feel like every video you do the quality gets better. Really enjoy hearing your thought process and a non ai generated voice.
good job rather B welding i love it
There is so much work involved in making this work it’s going to be so worth it! People will be looking twice when they don’t hear an engine 😂
We all know electric motors do not need a gear box due the high torque they have at low rpm, any mway, I would be happy to play around woth something like that 😎
i think it's more a proof of concept, and i think he enjoys the fabricating challenge..
Unbelievable/off the charts fabrication skills! I've been watching for years through 3 different employers computers (when I should be working) and you never fail to amaze me.
So much effort, hopefully worth the project.
Amazing inventiveness and skills as ever. One thing tho' - that electric motor is going to put out a whole lot more torque through most of the RPM band than the crank in the 2-stroke motor ever did, hopefully your custom case will be strong enough.
Brilliant work mate. Looking forward to the next episode.
Very cool!
Worse comes to worse..gut out the bottom of the tank so the battery can tuck in from underneath...and make the gas fill the "plugin" for the battery...
Very cool mods and definitely the sanding to make it stupid flat! Gonna be an epic build!
Keep em coming!!!!
Great project love where it's going, but you're going to need some sort of gasket to go between the electric motor and the case. I know you'll figure it out keep up the good work 💯💪🏾
Your on a good path, the bike will be amazing with a clutch and gears.
That is one crazy engine mod dude😮
Bonjour, bravo le projet avance bien.
This channel, plus Robot Cantina, Cars and cameras, GrindHard, vasily, Garage 54, Red Beard, KJ Raycing, Jds Garage... All of these are my go to's. Whatever happened to homemade madness?
Put your old torch under water, block the exit and put some gas in the pipe, bubbles will show where the leak is
Good Stuff! think about watching a couple tube vids how to setup your Band Saw correctly.
That and a tube of Honda Bond
This is gonna be a nice setup
The things you do are amazing.
hi and i am a follower from scotland watching this project every sunday and all the welds are sweet chris.
I'm so excited to see how it performs with a 6spd. Gonna be rowdy!
watching you do this reminds me of Le Dan on youtube. He takes old single cylinder engines and ive seen him make a inline 4, a v4, a boxer, etc etc etc.
I wish diy electric dirtbike builds would put a small battery under the gas tank, and another where the airbox would have been. Everyone puts a huge chunky battery under the gas tank, and it always looks so huge, and weird. Would be nice to see two smaller batteries that equal one big one.
You are so big!! I can't wait to see it finished🙏 and see how many speeds will be ideal... I think that the 2,3,4 gears will be the most useful for almost everything, with good programming of the controller
This is awesome! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
I use a big piece of granite to put heads in flatness. Was the best I could find. Drip Glass is good too.
I clicked on and I'm impressed. Following this for sure
Excelente proyecto, me siento muy satisfecho de ver esa creatividad, estamos pendientes de el siguiente capitulo.
Chris you do some bad ass work , I love watching & sometimes learning new stuff !
sooo, i wish i had the same level of dedication on any particular task like this guy
Very good project, I love electric!
Fantastic job Chris! You never cease to amaze me! Keep up the great work!
Wow amazing job on the engine , maybe you could take the battery apart and make the shape fit around the existing frame and the engine?
I just witnessed something amazing..
Love this series! I'm getting into the electric bike space and this is so cool to watch! So far I've been mostly focusing on the drivetrains, but without gears and a transmission.
I been working on my project for a little while I got an Orion 2022 250 and converted it to a Supermoto, it's a street legal dirtbike.I built a box out of hdpe plastic and bought these electrical switches that got a usb, also a usb c, a volt reader to tell how much volts are in the battery a twelve volt cigarette input and also a push to start button to start the bike with an alarm because I live in a ruff area I wired it all and finished the plastic box to put the switches in and it all fits and it all works it too it took awhile to wire and build the box but it's finally done And decided to paint it to because the way the company sent me the stickers all bent up and no good and it's a plain white color also the reason because before my brother in law had passed away my girlfriend gave me the idea for him to paint it. He was a good artist so that's what I'm in the middle of now I purchased all the paint and some nice airbrushes from Germany and a nice Hvlp gun to get my artistic skills to come out of me. that would be the ultimate Supermoto I would love for you to turn my gas engine into an electrical motor with all my 6 gears with a clutch that is awesome you are very talented I been watching you from even the first dirtbike you converted into electric with gears. Thanks for these videos anything is possible if you put your mind to it my grandpa always told me that.
pretty nice tig welding
You need a set of Heimann transfer buttons and they’re available from KBC tool or other tooling sources and trust me, you’ll be glad you did!
Also when sanding, rotate the part in a figure 8 pattern. Your finish surface will be flatter and more true when mating to another surface.
Idk how many times I’ve watched your videos and just been amazed at your mind. Good stuff as usual, more excited about this E bike than the last.
Great handiwork. More so in the next episode
Great job, looking good, two thumbs up
On appelle ça être un artiste …
☺️👌
Bravo
Hey Chris build a jig that holds your torch so you can use low heat to blow on your aluminum while you weld
Fun stuff, can't wait for the finished engine, and speaking of the engine, 9:48 I was really scared on why the electric motor is at the far left of your table, can topple down with a minor budge. Keep up the work and be safe in the workshop!
Спасибо за контент, классные идеи у тебя!)
From Russia respect)
I was about to yell preheat and you grabbed the torch 😂
You are really stepping up your game with that one good job mate !
What a boss. Pretty intense modification there!
Best series im watching now. the baja bug can wait! Love seeing this machining work.
When machining aluminum ive had the best results usinf a 2 flute bright endmill. Cheap stuff and go as fast as the machine can spin
Awesome some the stuff ur doing right at home. I see a few things I'd suggest being a steal fab. Foreman. But ur doing awesome on it. Please just keep sharing. And don't hide any problems u run into. Love it. Seems like ur having fun. Awesome 👌
Really amazed of your welding skills! Often really hard to weld cast engine blocks because of the hi level of magnesium in it. Great work!!
1:33 hey. It’s Handsome Squidward!
right setup will help so you dont need to heat parts up, because if its go too hot you just melt it away, and some spots you dont need to use rods so much but you learn little by little.
That looks awesome! But I think the preload on the transmission bearings may have changed. Hopefully there's a way to adjust for that.
You are doing great. Can't wait to see its torque. I've owned a few RM 125s-
U be putting n work keep it up nice work
Best part cutting them three bolts thru 😂
You are a very gifted Man!
Loving seeing my suggestion come to life here! Awesome job! :D
i was wondering when you were going to start making your own gears,YOU are a master crafter
I used to heat treat aluminium parts for a lot of different industries such as aerospace and formula 1. We used to heat the part to 505deg C for an hour per inch of thickness. Then there were 3 quench options 1: cold Water quench(hardest stiffest result)
2: hot water at 50deg C (not as hard or stiff as cold water but also less chance of distortion.)
3: polyglycol mixed with cold water. Cant remember the ratio but it’s not that widely available so you wouldn’t really end up using it.
I’d suggest cold water quench with a stress relief cycle in the furnace after quench at 225deg C for an hour per inch again. Then let it cool naturally.
You’ll almost definitely get some warping. The key is to how the part hits the water. I’d suggest holding it upright to avoid any trapped air pockets. It probably wouldn’t matter if it was upside down or right side up as long as the water can get everywhere without trapping air.
Good luck dude. Another rad project!
Brilliant machine work my friend. You have done an excellent job for a garage fabricator.
Nice job mister.
Incredible! All your hard work turned out a beautiful motor/gear box artwork. Can't wait for more episodes.
I would try putting the battery under the seat where the airbox used to be depending on how much room there is. It will have a lower center of gravity and it would be easier to keep upright
Very good job you work hard and i like how you thinking about your project step by step...
