Question... Is there a way to trick the motor in order to get a higher top speed? Micah from ebikeschool just uploaded a new video and one of the tips for higher speed, was to change the wheel settings on your display. I run on 28" wheels, if i change it to 26" will that do anything? The speed...

Just a small video of the bike and how i build it...sorry for the quality and my accent

A couple upgrades... New dual pivot calipers New brake levers New handlebar ( I ordered a golden one to match the calipers, but it came in silver :mad: ) I took it for a quick ride and i noticed a huge braking improvement!

I agree, the gears reliability is the only thing I'm afraid of. Maybe in the future I can change them with metal ones? Or I can find a DD motor and just swap it, if that is possible in any way.

Added a better looking,larger pvc pipe...

Do you know if I have to change the settings on my controller? I haven't checked yet, but I found out that my motor has 16 magnets and 1:6.28 gear ratio. Do I have to check the p1 setting and change it to 256 ( 16x16), if it isn't correct?

Yeah I went a little overboard with the cooling system! The motors brand is Shengyi. The kit had everything, including the 10.4ah battery with samsung sells.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but anyone used those hubsinks? I live in Greece and we get pretty hot summer days, so I'm a little worried for my 250w front geared motor and i'm thinking on use them just to be sure...

I tried to make it as clean looking as possible. I used a pvc pipe to hide the excess cables. I also had a problem with the PAS, not having enough space to fit the plastic disc and the metal ring with the sensor, but I found a way. I drilled the enclosure for the esc and added a heatsink. I'm...

Update...i finally bought a front hub motor kit. I also used my steel single speed for the convertion

I finally ordered the motor from hobbyking (KEDA 63-64 190KV Brushless Outrunner 10S 2000W). Since this motor supports up to 10s betteries, can i get one of these 36v speed controllers...

Now THAT'S a good idea!

Nice try... :p Kepler is giving me advice for my project. But i think i will give Stantons project a go, but with chainrings.

Now that i'm watching Stantons project again, i'm thinking on trying something like that. I juust have to fiind the correct parts, because i don't have a 3d printer. Happy New Year!

I could, but i'm building a friction drive. I guess he can point me to the right direction. Maybe if this doesn't work, i can copy his desighn ( try at least...).

Yes i've seen Stantons ebike. I think i've seen ALL ebike projects on youtube :) My worries are about products compatibility though.

Update, nothing happened with the motor i won ( the seller changed his mind). I found a KEDA 63-64 190KV Brushless Outrunner and i'm thinking on getting one of these cheap ESCs...

Thanks for the comment. My front fork is carbon, so no go on the hub motor. I thought that the motor was plug and play situation with the controller! I'll find a way, to conect them i guess. My problem is to choose the correct motor for my project and not a different kind of setup.

Hello everyone, i'm Vaggelis from Greece and i'm planning on byilding an ebike out of my road bike. The problem is, that i don't know anything about motors, batteries (a friend is an electrical engineer, so he can help on that part) and basically everything besides the bike part! I've been...
