Can anyone point me in a good direction to start making something like this myself? I've dabbled with arduinos but never really large electric motors and battery packs. I think it would be a lot of fun to make myself an ebike or whatever this thing is.
- canada_dry 6y agoHere's a couple similar components I used to build an e-bike. Get at least a 1500W hub motor [i] and a high capacity battery pack [ii].

- imglorp 6y agoIf I were doing this, and it looks like a load of fun anyway, I'd start with go-kart frame designed for a lawnmower engine. You'd get a roll cage, 5 point seatbelt, brakes, hand controls for throttle. Just add batteries, electric motor, and electronics.

- Fabricio20 6y agoYou might find some inspiration in Tom Stanton's [0] videos, he made his own e-bike and documented the upgrade cycles since v1. Just recently he made a summary video about how to start making your own e-bike. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/user/tomstanton282 https://www.youtube.com/user/tomstanton282
- GordonS 6y agoIf you actually do this, I'd love to read a blog about it!
- marshray 6y agoThe 'battle robot' sports scene does a lot of DIY involving batteries and wheelchair motors. I'd look into those user groups for info.
