HOME MADE ELECTRIC CYCLE
So we're bought a small cycle from OLX. It's 1200 rupees but not worth the amount. We can pay 700. It's our need and has 2 wheels & handle. We're making an electric cycle with all these. So we have reached the cycle to our workshop. We need to remove the front portion and back wheel from it. We're cutting from this level. We've got our first piece. This is what we're gonna keep in the front. We can cut this back wheel now. Not cutting but removing using spanner. We're removing the screw and taking out the back wheel. So the two pieces which we needed from cycle is with me.
One is back tyre and the other the front portion. This is what we need from the cycle. We've set a frame like this on our wheel. We didn't take a video for setting this as it was lengthy process. We've set a handle, extra length one. So we don't need the other handle, hence cutting it out. We've cut out the handle. The braking cable attached needs to be removed as well. Handle section is fine. The portion cut out from cycle is welded with this portion. This frame stands in 4 channels. At the rear we have the setup to fix rear wheel. So, the handle section is fine. Frame is ready as well, we need to fix the rear wheel. See here, we have cut out the cycle's section only to fix it. We can push it here and tighten it up. Slightly push in. We can tighten it. Back wheel is set, front wheel is set. Handle is fine as well. So next up, we can use the plywood to create the standing frame. We're cutting plywood according to the frame size. We need 2 pieces, top and bottom. We've cut two pieces. So we're gonna place the plywood below first. We can take the plywood, and place it here. We can tighten the piece with screws. We don't need extra holes. Bottom part is complete. Top is pending. We're setting up the top part.
We've cut the plywood according to the design of the frame. There is place to keep the motor behind. Here as well, we have cut a portion. We're cutting down a separate piece from middle. To open and close, since we keep battery inside. So we've cut down. We can just place it here. We're placing according to the order. We need to screw these now. Both the sections are tightened and the middle is not done because we need a setup to open/close. For that we're taking couple of hinges and setting up. When we fix it, we can open/close in that format. So, we've completed the cabin to keep the battery. We can see about the engine part for electric scooter. For that I've taken, 24v 250w DC Motor. We've taken 3 batteries for that. It has 12.6 V. So if 2 batteries are there, we'll get 24 V. So to run the motor, this voltage will suffice. We're connecting it as a series. Like two batteries joining together to give 24 V. So the output now wil lbe 24V. So to control it, we need a throttle stick and controller. I've purchased these all online. I've placed the link below in description. We've a key to start. That's the way we're setting it up. There are 2 wire section in throttle.
One is clipped so we can connect to the controller which has red color clip. Similarly the next section, we can see 3 wires, there are 3 wires in controller. Also throttle stick has 3 wires. So according to the color code, we can connect it. I'll show you after connecting it. Blue-Green, Black-Black, Red-Red, that's the combination. We can connect the battery and motor, if it is working or not. So we'e taken two wires from motor are connected to the clip. As well as the output from the battery, 24V output is connected to this clip. When we switch on the key, we can see the indication in the throttle. When we accelerate, we can see the motor working. So we're taking the motor into electric cycle. We're tightening it with screws. Or we can use the nut and bolt. But screws will have much power. We're gonna fix the chain now. We can remove the rear wheel now and then fix the chain. We can now attach it with the motor. When we buy motor, there will be a gear at the end. We can just fix this chain over there. We've tightened it now.
Next we can fix the throttle stick and brakes to the handle bar. We're fixing brake in the front wheel. So we can connect it to the brake cable. On the other side, we can place a hand grip as well. We get hand grip for both sides when buying online. So the battery and controller are kept inside the cabin. Earlier I said that we will be making a cabin and inside that we'll be placing the battery and controller. We've set everything. The making procedure of cycle is almost complete. Last thing is to set a stand in this. So we've taken a small stand from that cycle. We can weld it here. So, we've welded the stand here. Now we can make use of it. So the making of electric cycle is completely done. When we keep it on stand, it'll be like this. I'll show you the specs and stuff now. The handle section has when we use this key only, it will turn on.
No one else can use accelerator without key. If we insert key and accelerate, the vehicle will move. We've brake here for emergency. It's a stable one. We've used two small batteries, so we're unsure about its life. So we'll ride it and let you know the experience. I'm going to start it now. I'm riding on a field. The path is not stable. Next we're going to test the ability to climb. We're gonna try riding up here. Since there was no balance, I kept my legs. It easily rides on inclined places. See we're riding through an uneven field here. But there it is shaking while standing because we've not fixed shock absorbers. A calf jumped before me. It easily goes through uneven surface. This was a video to test if it is working fine. It can pull 2 people. I've picked up a boy with me. Now we're riding in between a canal and a lake. I'm riding through it and if I slip, I'll end up in water. This is to show the cycle riding through uneven surfaces and ground clearance.
We're riding through a bad uneven surface. It goes smoothly. We're in middle of the road. We've got two buddies here. So they're going to test our bike now. Who's trying it first? Abishek. So our buddy has completed his ride. What's your experience? Superb. One of our Auto brother is gonna give a try. Sony bro is going to try. Just accelerate. Even our Sony bro, has rode the bike now. So we've taken this bike outside for too long. Almost 20 minutes have completed. Even now it is riding smoothly. This video was taken in one full charge. All these riding shots. We're riding through muddy road. It's a good feel. We're riding simply through here. Friends, our cycle ride in over. Battery is done and almost we can ride for 25 mins continuously. It was a surprise for me. We just used 2 small batteries. We got that much life with that batteries. The ground clear is excellent. It can ride through any surface. Since we have given clearance, it doesn't hit anywhere. The disadvantage what I thought is, the handle bar is shaking a bit Other than that, this is a great bike. The things used to build this cycle, batter, motor, etc links are provided in the description.
We just need cycle balance alone to ride this. No need of any license and stuff. No need of helmet or petrol. Just charge the battery and ride. We can add an option to charge the battery. Without removing the battery, we can charge. Since we used a small battery, we got only 25 minutes. If we make the size double, we can ride 50 mins as well. We can manage and keep a battery that can fit in the cabin. We can ride max 3 hours with that.
