One of the most in depth electric dirt bike conversions on youtube! I want to get into the same sort of thing, started with 52v 1000w ebike upgraded to a 72v 3000w ebike and im looking at building a 72v 5000w full sus enduro mtb conversion before i get into doing electric dirtbike conversions like you! Youve inspired me more than i already was you deserved the subscribe
Thanks! I have (4) electric bikes in my garage for a reason... Started with a 36V 650W razor that's now 72V putting out almost 4000W and just doing another project and another.. lol
You gotta go with a thumb throttle brother. All of my electric builds have thumb throttles for that exact reason. When you go over bumpy terrain with a twist throttle, it’s a matter of time before you loop out. Stay safe and have fun out there! ✌️
Right.. I already received a thumb throttle for my 72V Razor to test out how I like it. I'll switch it on this bike eventually if I end up getting comfortable with it
She looks like she rides great! How many miles would you say you did and how much longer would you have felt comfortable riding before you had to recharge? I ended up getting the same battery for my rmz 250 and had to mod the frame just a bit to get it to fit. Used your battery tray template as well. Thanks for all the content. Because of you and a good buddy of mine i should be ready to ride in a week. Cheers.
We rode for 15 miles on this day. I probably would have gone another 3-5 but with less power. This trail had a lot of climbs though. Could probably do over 30-35 miles cruising flat pavement
Is that the QS138 V3 70h or 90h? Also wondering what controller you are using. Im in the middle of a build using the 138 v3 70h and a 72530 fardriver and I think I got the exact same battery that you have. I ordered the 72v 42ah 350a continues 450a peak from Amorge. The doner bike is a 04 YZ85. I hope it turns out as nice as yours with simular power. Your bike looks like it rips.
@@PatOutdoors I hope so, the motor was and controller was just delivered today. After I ordered it I learned of the qs180 with gear reduction, I kinda wish I would have went it now. But we'll see how it goes. I can always upgrade later and use the 138 for something else. BTW how long did it take for your battery to arrive after ordering? I just ordered mine yesterday. they said 20-30 days. Im really hoping it doesn't take that long lol.
What year yz did you use and, if you don’t mind sharing the info, roughly how much did everything cost do the conversion? (price of bike excluded) Awesome video!! Be wicked if you could just convert to the motor & still keep the clutch & gearbox. That way you could use the clutch & gearing for control instead of relying solely on throttle control Edit: one last question; is this a yz specific kit or could it be fitted to any dirtbike? Thanks
This is a universal dirt bike kit by electro & co. I used a 2006 Yamaha yz250 though. I spent about $3K on parts including the battery. Keeping the gearbox I suppose could be an option, though it would take a lot of fabrication..
Good content just one question what springs do you have in the back of your Pathfinder I'm looking at the Black widow motorcycle Hitch mount how do you like it is it noisy does it rattle and does your truck bottom out or did you get Land Rover springs? I like your setup I want to do a 3 inch lift of roof tent 31's and the motorcycle hitch for my small scrambler
Thanks! They're actually modified 5th Gen 4Runner Springs (rear) with KYB Struts on 31's.. (Just a temporary solution for a 1.5" Rear lift and higher spring rate.) I'm likely doing Land Rover 9448/9449 Springs on the back, OME springs for the front, and Bilstein's all around in the near future. I'll have more details on my other TH-cam channel. As far as the Black Widow hitch, I'm super happy with it once I figured out how to tension the anti-rattle plate against the hitch. I also started keeping the ramp in my car instead of mounted on the carrier (to reduce vibrations.)
@@PatOutdoors yes and also remember, you can always grab it just like the clutch, in case of looping out the throttle. Also frees up your feet completely, safer for messing up difficult climbs. Also get some handguards, before some bushes pull your brakes

did you like it?@@PatOutdoors
Bravo Pat🎉
Awesome build!
What sprockets and tire size are you running front and rear?

@@PhoKingLitMedia it’s the 70H v3. I’m using a Votol 25kw controller from Electro & Co.. That’s gonna be beast power on an 85!

Maybe try a thumb throttle. I did that to my yz80 i converted with the 138 v3 with the em150/2 controller
Just saw someone else recommened the same thing haha
Whats the top speed?
Currently 62mph with my short time testing so far

Wow amazing build what cells are in your battery?
Not sure, the battery pack was made by Amorge
Nice build,what do you think about rear brakes on left hand lever?
I honestly think I would feel more comfortable with that idea since I'm still not fully used to foot brake

Have you given the fast scooters kit from the mx650 away yet?
Long gone
