is it easy or hard to diy electric vehicles?
i want to get into ebikes and scooters because i don’t believe in cars and licenses. it is slavery and nothing else. the electric chad defeats this.
i just want to be able to repair my own bikes and scooters and build them myself.
yeah you only need to convert a regular bike or "amish bike"
I always wondered, wouldn't these kinds of bike just constantly scrape against the floor when you encounter some irregular terrain? Would you just constantly have to have that in mind?
I think they're meant to always stay on roads.
There are definitely trail versions but the raised footbed for clearance makes them harder to go cross country as you've got a constantly bent knee with nothing to sit on. It's more of a downhill thing. That said I have a bit of a project to convert an old torker bmx scooter like that to electric, I don't like that ninebot style with tiny ass wheels and shit brakes. like picrel
At least that's better than those stupid ass razor scooters that were super popular in my childhood. That paired with a small rock was about the best way to launch yourself.
>don’t believe in cars and license
>no license
>cheaper than a car
What are you waiting for anon?
microlights are cool as frick but who can afford that
if you wanna fly for free get a paraglider
There are kits you can buy to convert any bike or scooter. You can also get the pieces individually and create your own setup. Basic mechanical aptitude and bike/scooter knowledge is required
>i don’t believe in cars and licenses.
They exist. I've not only seen them but even own one.
True story.
>i don’t believe in cars and licenses
Your disbelief does not invalidate their existence.
can you weld?
can you electronics?
>is it easy or hard to diy electric vehicles?
It doesn't matter since you'll never do it anyway.
can you dumb incels frick off to .is or whatever else you slimeballs use to cry on these day?
Hard to do any quality work building new but esy to repair and modify used.
He's right though. The tell is having to ask instead of bothering to find out the details in an evening's worth of reading.
diy ebikes are based
get a cheap ol shitbox mountainbike second hand
id reccomend one without rear suspension the space in the frame is useful for an ebike build
slap on a 500watt motor
20kw 48v battery
wrap it in foam and tape
buy a big frame bag that fills the whole frame
room for ur battery tyre kit tools drink food bikelock frickin whatever
get some lights
get a head torch if you wanna go offroad
satnav on ur phone
lear how to do maintanance and modifications from youtube
ur fee 🙂
no licence no insurance no number plate ur silent no rules only theives can stop u cops cant do shit lel
cargays seethe watching me have fun zoomin backroads and exploring innawoods
if ur gonna be climbing big hills id reccomend a mid drive motor
You at least need a speed controller between the battery and the motor. But yeah it’s dead simple to build.
I would buy a few escooters from auction at your local towing, cops seize these all the time due to shitty parking and the companies don’t want to pay the $1000 to get them back. They usually auction for like $5, not joking. Even then they’re hardly worth riding so take the expensive lipo batteries, throttle, brakes, and maybe motor for your project. Maybe melt the aluminum down and cast into some useful parts, it’s not hard to build a propane forge.
You can get an appletag or a gps dogtag if you’re concerned about theft and drop it in the frame.
>20kw
What does anon need 1000km range for on an ebike?
A whole megameter? Probably going to need a pack the size of a piece of small luggage for that kind of range.
buy a decent hardtail mountain bike with hydraulic brakes and get a motor/battery kit. scooters are gay, less capable and would be harder to source parts for
dont get hydros
Are bicycle hydraulic brakes junk like most bike stuff?
hes fricking dumb...get hydraulic brakes and used metal pads...they are noisy but last a lot longer and work better...especially in wet conditions.
not used* but use metal pads...as opposed to resin. if you get cable brakes you will be adjusting them every time you ride becaue ebikes are a lot heavier
i find it incredible that almost nobody know about this guy. He should probably be the idol of two or three boards on PrepHole.
Why modify a scooter or ebike when you can just use a scooter or ebike?
If you can get something for cheap, modification might make mediocre gear into excellent gear.
it's easy
How do I do this but with free on the street lime scooters?
chop-shop style
>fire up your handy GSM and/or GPS jammer
>load up the van
>it is unclear what triggers the anti-theft alarm
>having brought all of your blankets, use them to sound-proof the scooters if the alarm goes off
>do not take them to the workshop just yet, if the jammer is shit and ineffective the corpos may still be tracking you
>drive to a nearby secluded location where you will be able to cut the power from the battery to the electronics
>time is of the essence
>you can now turn off the jammers and take them to your workshop
>you are now free to take the apart making sure to dispose of anything that remotely looks like RF electronics
>burn the frames
Keep in mind that you'd probably get into more trouble for jamming GPS than you would for stealing.
You could get away with a very low power signal if you make it directional onto the operating table in the van. I doubt anyone would notice.
The biggest footprint of your crimes will be searching for hoe to do this.
Hey yeah, just use a crack hoe!
The only GPS component is the computer on the top, it’s very simple to detach the panel and unscrew it (usually philips head or torx) then toss it. It’s connected to a backup battery as well.
The alarm is a function of the speed controller. It’s located on the bottom of the scooter which you need security torx bits to access. Once you disconnect the battery (just yank the yellow connectors apart) it’ll stop. I would do this first so it doesn’t have a chance to trigger.
The speed controllers can sometimes be rigged so the throttle engages the motor whenever. You might have to fiddle with the battery pack too, there’s all sorts of excessive electronics in there.
Some people claim there’s GPS components behind the LEDs, which isn’t true. But sometimes there’s one located in the middle of the stem. If there’s more than six wires coming down the stem there might be one in there.
The escooter jannie will see it disconnected from their network and probably investigate soon.
Also don’t steal these. It’s not cool to mess with things that aren’t your property and if you really want one, they’re dead cheap to buy at auction. Not a bad investment for 10 lipo batteries, a brushless motor and some aluminum to melt.
>i don’t believe in cars
poorgay spotted
how about something not that usual, like a tractor or a trolley?
its not hard, but failing can result in a house fire
>protip fire-extinguishers or water do not work on lithium fires, its sand-bucket or bust.
>protip do not diy your own battery
>protip do not buy aliexpress battery packs, they are made of lies
Nothing wrong with doing your own battery. Just gotta follow basic safety rules. For those who can't seem to even do that, Darwin awards are given 24/7!
if someone is asking "how hard 2 electric vehicool" they obviously cant diy their own battery.
the people capable of DIYing a battery will simply dismiss this advice, but most of them dont have a spot welder anyway.
>is it easy or hard to diy electric vehicles?
Suspension, steering is hard. Motors are hard too.
Trivial.
>ebike controller that can handle a bit more than the max draw of your motor
>batteries selected for range and speed
>motor selected for speed and power requirements (acceleration, load, incline capabilities)
Add that to whatever frame you want.
so i... DONT have to forge my own alloys?
i built this kiln for nothing!
You don't have to assemble your own atoms either!
buy the first mtb/city bike with shifters that you can find and that costs less than 20 bucks.
fix it learning how to fix it.
