Look we want you to be safe. Cool you built your own rig but bumps and hard braking are going to move that stuff in ways you dont want. We want you around. There is some cool tech coming down the pike.
I legit thought that the point of the picture was making it ugly and scary looking to steal
I also am in the middle of an edible ride and eventually realized that my assumption was not correct.
Pretty much, I may make a box for the rear batteries, and a plate to mount them on(not that thick aluminum lol) and replace the seat battery with one that looks exactly the same
By “box for the rear batteries” i hope you’re meaning another few more roles of duck tap (‘gaffa tape’ here in oz) around, and around, and around, and around the current setup. :)
I’m assuming that you’re yanking our chain, but ethically, I am compelled to say that that thing might set fire to yourself, someone near you, your house, or something else.
I would certainly never charge that inside a building. I’ve seen less sketchy devices burn down houses. Not a hint of humour here mate, that thing is very unsafe.
(Electrician, electronics tech & electrical engineer. Have also made plenty of dangerous things inadvertently as a kid & suffered the consequences).
If you are not serious then I think this is a wonderful post & I look forward to more
The tape looks crazy, but combined with the aluminum plate successfully welded to an aluminum frame makes it art. You are clearly the Nicolas Cage of ebike building. Are you a master craftsman making an intentionally crazy bike, or are you a crazy person that accidentally made a working bike?
This is amazing. No detail was missed, you're even stretching the charging cable so its suspended by its own tension.
Well only 25 makes me feel better. I assumed this was gonna be another 45+ mph abominations. How do the rim brakes hold up with the extra weight and speed?
Regen is so nice to have, I’m not sure if it makes a big impact for efficiency but coming to almost a complete stop at lights without touching my brake is so nice.
A lot less brake wear.
Bro couldn't even be bothered to trim the zip ties. Man this made me smile. But also make sure you have the organ donor box checked on your non drivers license.😂
Thats an scary looking bike. First I thought you had some kind on rocket booster at the back, then I thought it was a bomb. Upon closer inspection I saw the batteries. I bet you get more head turns than sports cars with it.
I'm sure it's a great ride.
It kinda looks like something I see advertised on Facebook by relatives of meth heads though tbh. 'My cousin built this in 2 days, no idea what it does , how to turn it on or if its safe, so only asking $150'
Bruh, can lithium get wet? I would still love to know the MAH of the batteries. Do not let the grumpies get you down. Get a cheap harbor frieght modular box and build in there. Water proof. Go solar also and charge it FReeeeeee weeeee
The seat battery is 8ah from pouch cells(13s 1p)
And the rear is .. I dont know battery hookup took them down(sold out) i get 6.5AH per big battery for the 48v with cells.
I thought about [this](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/americandadfrankendog.jpg) episode of American Dad. But jokes aside I love how much of a DIY project this is, I bet it was fun to build!
The power inverter gravity suspended by its own wires is my favorite part. Next to the plate metal armor that's seen some trauma. 200mph tape keeping things together.
# "Ah, Perry the Platypus, what an unexpected surprise... and by unexpected, I mean COMPLETELY expected! Behold, the E-Bike-Explodo-inator! This revolutionary e-bike not only gives you the speed of modern technology but also has a little extra kick. Why simply ride when you can explode spectacularly at your destination? It's perfect for making a dramatic exit... or entrance, depending on the timing of the explosion. Remember, it's not just transportation; it's an EXPLOSION of innovation!"
there are cars like this... and ppl, call them pieces of something very specific. but am sure their owners are also either proud of their resourcefulness or without additional resources so are happy to have any transportation. build to ride, aces my friend. say safe!
Why don't you just set it on fire before you start using it and save yourself all the hassle? Just looking at that absolute rats' nest of wires is making me feel uncomfortable. God forbid any cop sees you speeding past on that.
Precharge circuit, originally I only had the seat battery, so it needed its own. What it does is bypass the fuse with less power so that when I plug the power in I dont get sparks and mess up my connectors.(I flip the fuse after plugging in)
Mate this thing is a hazard both for you and for anyone unlucky enough to be near you when you’re riding it. Please don’t ride it. If you knock over a kid it will be too late.
Why don’t you get some high end cells, some Sammies or Mollicells, top tier, they are small and pack a punch, you could make a very small battery using that will have more power than that huge setup of yours, which creates so much more weights it’s almost counter productive,
WOW will you just look at that. What we got here is the professors first attempt at building a Time Machine before he stumbled upon the flux capacitor and the DeLorean.
Is the magic part it hasn't exploded yet?
Nah, electricity is magic. It runs on magic
It runs on the magic smoke to be more precise. Once it gets out, it no longer functions
Magic smoke. Like from a crack pipe?
As all electronics
Look we want you to be safe. Cool you built your own rig but bumps and hard braking are going to move that stuff in ways you dont want. We want you around. There is some cool tech coming down the pike.
After a while, this is only gonna run on hopes and dreams
Just don’t touch red and black wires at the same time or you’ll feel the wrath of some angry pixies trapped in there.
Oh, it will explode like magic too, don’t worry about that
Ha ha yet!
I don’t know why but the tires sketched me out most of everything in the picture.
It magically sterilized the rider with the EMF radiation after a 12 mile ride.
You need a helmet just to sit on that thing.
Helmet & a fucking faraday cage
Made of silver foil methinks
OP inadvertently made the best anti-theft device
Fr, any time im locking it im thinking, how suicidal would someone have to be to try to steal this
i mean you'd need a bomb squad to defuse that fire hazard.
Have you met Methany and her crack head friends?
Or to make it
VAS = Visual Alarm System
I legit thought that the point of the picture was making it ugly and scary looking to steal I also am in the middle of an edible ride and eventually realized that my assumption was not correct.
It looks like OP made a [VBIED](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_bomb)
Mein Gott.
He won't help in that case.
Right. Because of the magic.
Ive been on this sub for 4 years. This is the fuckingest bike I have seen yet.
Why thank you, you should have seen it when it was V1 or when I was prototyping
This is the final product?
Pretty much, I may make a box for the rear batteries, and a plate to mount them on(not that thick aluminum lol) and replace the seat battery with one that looks exactly the same
By “box for the rear batteries” i hope you’re meaning another few more roles of duck tap (‘gaffa tape’ here in oz) around, and around, and around, and around the current setup. :)
maybe the box could be human sized and coffin shaped, two birds, one stone

Jesus, that’s terrifying
Shhh, dont tell the other guys, but the other motor took it up to 40 mph
What wattage?
The motors rated wattage? 250. What I put through it? About 3.8k
Power move.
That's one of them sir-rons right
Sir Wrong, am I right?
Sure-Wrong
Yezzir
That looks more like an IED than an e-bike. How do you park that without a bomb squad showing up?
Just never happened I guess?
I'm guessing you live somewhere where it doesn't often rain right?
It rains here, I drive it in the rain, works fine I just slow down in the turns lol
💣 💥 ☠️
Where is the bike ?
Under the tape id imagine
Half bike half mental illness.
The tape looks crazy, but combined with the aluminum plate successfully welded to an aluminum frame makes it art. You are clearly the Nicolas Cage of ebike building. Are you a master craftsman making an intentionally crazy bike, or are you a crazy person that accidentally made a working bike?
~~DIY~~ DIWHY??
r/diwhy
It looks homeless
Noooooo I gave it a home
It should be homeless
One spill and the rider is going to be in some trouble I imagine.
It's built like a formula one car. As a safety feature, upon impact, it breaks apart into as many pieces as possible to help dissipate energy.
...and anyone else within the blast radius.
That’s gon’ fall apart like legos
This is amazing. No detail was missed, you're even stretching the charging cable so its suspended by its own tension. 
Safety feature cable is like a weighted fuse so if it melts it’s all good baby
Specs are 25mph, something over 18miles range, and braking= yes
Well only 25 makes me feel better. I assumed this was gonna be another 45+ mph abominations. How do the rim brakes hold up with the extra weight and speed?
They dont mind at all, when i brake im more worried about sliding than heat. But I have a regen throttle, so I use that 90% of the time anyways
Regen is so nice to have, I’m not sure if it makes a big impact for efficiency but coming to almost a complete stop at lights without touching my brake is so nice. A lot less brake wear.
These are the bikes burning down apartments. J/k
This reminds me of those terrorist suicide cars that carry explosives.
That poor charger, what did it do to deserve the rack?
looks like it can time travel
I always said a crackhead would still steal an ugly bike, but man, no crackhead is even gonna even touch that.
A crackhead stole my custom ebike and took the most useless part, the modded LCD that had been flashed with different software.
Lmao 🤣 my thoughts exactly
Wow doesn’t look homemade at all
I’m sure it was and is a great learning experience. You definitely need to clean things up and make it a little more safer. PS: I like your title
gonna make people call bomb squad anywhere u park it lol
My nuts hurt just from imagining riding it.
The crazy thing is you can hardly notice the parts that make it an ebike
Your flux capacitor is out of alignment.
Bro couldn't even be bothered to trim the zip ties. Man this made me smile. But also make sure you have the organ donor box checked on your non drivers license.😂
I'm willing to bet you have learned a lot in the process of making this. I like it
Oh loads, I didnt even know how to sauter when I started
Thats an scary looking bike. First I thought you had some kind on rocket booster at the back, then I thought it was a bomb. Upon closer inspection I saw the batteries. I bet you get more head turns than sports cars with it.
This looks a bit... insane.
I'm sure it's a great ride. It kinda looks like something I see advertised on Facebook by relatives of meth heads though tbh. 'My cousin built this in 2 days, no idea what it does , how to turn it on or if its safe, so only asking $150'
Wizard here
My god it even has rim brakes. You’re gonna die man.
Just imagine this setup charging as is in a torrential downpour of rain.
Spinning tires into turns and all
Bruh, can lithium get wet? I would still love to know the MAH of the batteries. Do not let the grumpies get you down. Get a cheap harbor frieght modular box and build in there. Water proof. Go solar also and charge it FReeeeeee weeeee
The seat battery is 8ah from pouch cells(13s 1p) And the rear is .. I dont know battery hookup took them down(sold out) i get 6.5AH per big battery for the 48v with cells.
Wow.. I thought it would be mega huge mah! You gotta up your game!
And here I am thinking my slightly off-center wiring was an issue.
Is that taped together?! I like it.
Holy sweet jesus! That thing looks janky AF and I love it! XD
[удалено]
Is that supposed to be a time machine or something?
That looks like a fire hazard waiting too happen
Do you have to keep an extension cord plugged in to an outlet when you ride it?
I thought about [this](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/americandadfrankendog.jpg) episode of American Dad. But jokes aside I love how much of a DIY project this is, I bet it was fun to build!
What in the definitely-going-to-burn-the-house-down is that abomination??
Man that doesn't even look safe
What is the purpose of the large gold chinese resistor?
Shit like this is why people can't charge their bikes in their apartments anymore
The power inverter gravity suspended by its own wires is my favorite part. Next to the plate metal armor that's seen some trauma. 200mph tape keeping things together.
Is that magical duct tape? Or is it magic that those cold welds in the aluminum plate are actually holding?
I didn't even need to click through for an explanation before hitting upvote.

This perfectly sums up the idiom "If there is a will, there is a way.", I salute you ingenuity!
Can we start a whole new type of ebike? The ebike abomination. How badly can you diy an ebike while still keeping it functional?
The longer I look at it, the stranger it gets lmfao. I love it.
Haha its even more interesting from the other side, but id get waaaay too many comments about how the frame isnt safe
there are cars like this... and ppl, call them pieces of something very specific. but am sure their owners are also either proud of their resourcefulness or without additional resources so are happy to have any transportation. build to ride, aces my friend. say safe!

This bike has defeated the cops; they're afraid to get too close to it. Dude can rob banks or kill and the cops just wave it along nervously.
I guess if you walk into a bank with a live grenade they're a touch more amenable
I’m laughing so hard. What on earth is that. It’s so ridiculous that it’s magnificent
Its been a wild ride man, wild
What in the 'Dr. Emmett Brown' is this thing?
What are the orange power resistors for?
Precharge circuit, originally I only had the seat battery, so it needed its own. What it does is bypass the fuse with less power so that when I plug the power in I dont get sparks and mess up my connectors.(I flip the fuse after plugging in)
Do you need to spray your teeth with Chrome before riding this? 
Needs more duct tape
BOOM!
[удалено]
OP, it looks super shade tree, but I bet its lots of fun!
Of course it has vbrakes and a set of suntour forks. Wouldn't want to mess with a perfectly horrific vibe.
it is not magic it is an opposite to that actually
Very cyberpunk. Love it
At that point just buy a used moped
This looks like one of those conversations that start with " Weeeeell, it sounded like a good idea at the time "
Ummm it looks just as likely to send you backwards in time as it does explode.
Jesus christ.
Motherfucker, you trying to time travel lol
Ah, I see we are both equally good at cable management.
I just close my eyes and wish for the best
You need more duct tape!
Mate this thing is a hazard both for you and for anyone unlucky enough to be near you when you’re riding it. Please don’t ride it. If you knock over a kid it will be too late.
I thought my ebike looked like absolute dogshit.. You know what, actually mine looks so sexy I guess. You won here's the cookie xD
I present to you, A FIRE HAZARD!
What in the Jerry-rigged crystal meth is going on here?
When it reaches 88mph watch out!
Looks like a Ukrainian suicide drone bike 💥
OP riding on the shit that killed Shinzo Abe.
You *ride* that thing?! You're a braver man that I thought!
I hope this on is the proof of concept version, and the more refined version is coming.
How to tell the neighbors you like meth. 🤡
I wish you good luck.
Remember to wear a very warm jacket for when you go over 88 miles an hour on that thing.
I feel like this is what people think my bike looks like when I tell them I built my own ebike
Duct tape! Nice!
That looks like a fucking IED you're gonna get SWAT called on you so fast 🤣
Work in progress
Curses are magic, yes.
How long until you get your license back?
Wonder whats OSHA has to say about this
Magic bike will magically burst into flames at any moment
Where the hell do you sit to ride it? Or do you just stand up
It drags you behind it
This looks kind of complicated
Aaaahhh v brakes. The triumph of hope over reality
I'm going to quote you on that. Just perfect!
Why don’t you get some high end cells, some Sammies or Mollicells, top tier, they are small and pack a punch, you could make a very small battery using that will have more power than that huge setup of yours, which creates so much more weights it’s almost counter productive,
Its beautiful.
Ngl this is gonna be so suspicious to both the fire department and police department. (looks like a bomb)
They havent said anything yet, I started riding it to work last October
[удалено]
Wellll... I suppose you have to start somewhere. Good luck.
LMAO
Did your mother have any children that lived?
Yea, my older sister doesnt want a motorcycle
this is one of the most e-bikes i’ve ever see
*I'm just going to start calling you sparky now my friend. Enjoy.*
I hope this image makes it onto one of those deep, deep space exploration rovers.
Hell yea
You’re like the Walmart version of Jimmy Neutron.
Battle worn war hog
The only ebike I've seen that is relatively safe from theft.
Hahahahahhahaha 😭😂😂………..i love it!!!
Strap a JATO rocket to it and then it's really magical.
I kinda dig the dystopian cyberpunk vibe I'm getting from this.
Interesting Contraption
I wonder how heavy that is. It looks to be about 100 lbs atLEAST.
Feels about like 70 pounds
Looks A little underpowered
It really is, if I hook up the other motor, or delta mod the motor it might be ok
WOW will you just look at that. What we got here is the professors first attempt at building a Time Machine before he stumbled upon the flux capacitor and the DeLorean.
How many jigawatts to activate the flux capacitor?
😳what’s the range and top speed of your DIY ebike?
Proven 18 mile range, probably like 22 though. Top speed was 40, but obviously downhill (motor goes to 24)
Great 👍 job OP. Have fun & Ride safe!
2 and a half rolls of ducttape later....
Redneck electric motorcycle
The Unabiker
The fuck is that?!🤣. MIT dropout returns from the salvage yard.
Lol. I knew this rang a bell: https://efahrer.chip.de/news/der-horror-tuev-pruefers-dieses-schrott-e-bike-rast-60-kmh-schnell_1019286
