Homemade 350w Ebike New Batteries, Controller Tutorial, Inside the DC Motor

Update video on my Homemade 350 watt ebike, I just added two new 10ah lead acid batteries and show the performance now, I also show bench testing of the brushed DC Motor, hooking up the brushed motor controller and I take apart the 350watt brushed motor to see whats inside. I bought four new batteries off Amazon it's cheaper to buy bulk in lots of four, I used two on each of my homemade ebikes. I only put two batteries on the modified kids bike for now to cut costs, I get about 24mins full ride time no peddling I only help the motor on really step hills but it will go up most hills. If I use the bike for only assist than I can ride for hours, If I add four batteries to the bike I should get double the ride time but of course more weight. I will upgrade to lithium or Lifep04 when my budget allows for it. This Ebike is a low budget build around $100 it's not a super fast bike but works great, I'm presently working on a faster cheap Ebike around 1000w, hopefully I will be posting the video soon.

Thanks mate, I was looking for this video for ages haha

[@williamvan909]

😊how long did the battery's last and how far did you go ???

[@leomonk974]

Loving the video man, do you possibly have a link for the lead acid batteries you used? I’m trying to do something like this but I need some batteries and am unsure of the specs needed

Great video! I wish I could get some more info on the Lithium-ion area, which you were touching on…

[@kurtscottage]

Thanks I really appreciate that. I might try and build a Lithium pack for my small homemade e-bike

My last LA batts gave out in less than a year, I happened on seeing Lifepos in the shape of the 12v 22ah ones that I have been using, after some research I went on ebay and ordered 2 Chins 12 v 16 ah batteries for around 130$ (seems like a deal for a quality battery) and a 2 amp hour chager for Lifepos (boy that little charger got hot during the charge up, but it brought the batts up to rated volts after a long time. I have not determined the range (just went a couple miles so far). I am done with lead acid in my home made e-bike. Mike

@@mtwseneca interesting, i'm looking into building a lifepo4 pack for a similar build myself, lifepo4 is a great option imo, extra price might be a bummer but they last super long and also have great power density for the size and weight while still being cheaper than li-ion, adding to the list things like safety as well

[@mtwseneca]

@@k-osmonaut8807 I am very happy with the lifepos, charger got hot during first charge (with the lifepo charger I also got on ebay but no problem), Take a look at the Chins that are available. I don't know the range except I went 12 miles with pedaling and still had good power, that is all I need anyway. Mike

[@k-osmonaut8807]

@@mtwseneca sounds great honestly, i'm pretty sure i can squeeze similar range out of my own future build, taking into account the cells i'm planning on using (liitokala 30ah 3,2 prismatic lifepo4 cells) i can probably get two hours of ride time with the exact same motor as the one in the video
also, i'll definetely take a look into those you mentioned, thanks greatly for the info, man!

[@chickenpower5412]

can you please link the controller and the grip you bought?

[@Teknopottu]

Why none of the comments are showing?

[@v2kguy]

How long did the batteries take to charge.

[@shafiullahislam6270]

How many miles can you go with this battery?

[@Billy-burner]

I hate youtubers that don't reply to their subscribers, or anyone who even leavs a comment.

[@gepardchester6495]

12V 200W would be to weak if you put it in , there are problems with the bearings in the motor ?

[@anio6865]

Would a 13 amp limiting 48v 350w take me up a 25 - 30 degree hill, without a problem ? My ebike comes with a 14+1 amp controller. So I am just wondering if it would work just as well with a 13 amp.

[@saeedmohammed2021]

How do you charge the batteries? Pls reply

[@Alexwestwood]

Can you use a car battery

[@kurtscottage]

Sure but you would need two of them because it's 24v, Weight of the batteries might be a problem tho.

[@CarlosTorres-bn5nf]

How do you connect the batteries

[@Pepsius2468]

do u still need help?
