Hi! Thanks for checking out one more project of mine. Hope you will like this one as much as I did.
Since my last 1500W E-Bike build attracted a bit of attention (you can check it here 👉 • DIY Electric Bike 65km... ), I got many requests on building a more budget friendly e-bike. So I decided to go with a 1000W rear wheel kit which packs a great punch for the price. The installed conversion kit can reach 48 km/h (30mph). There are many programmable options on the LCD itself, and the best part is the Bluetooth connectivity of the BMS. Using the XiaoXiang app the battery can be turned on and off. It also provides temperature, range, current, cell group voltage and lots of variable parameters.

Wow I built my own ebike battery packs for years. Spot welded and nickel strip for higher current and etc. Never thought to heat the top plastic to remold the BMS controller to fit into case as wasn’t a issue on smaller packs. Going to do that now on the new 24AH pack currently building as have space on top to fit into frame. Thanks for the detailed video as now figured out how to do a bigger pack while still being able to fit it into bike

@DonnyTerek 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you a lot! Glad to see that even an experienced builder can bring something new into their workshop after watching one of my vids. The BMS fits well if the same battery enclosure is used for a 14S6P configuration, since then a few holders can be snipped off to allow the BMS to sit flush. Having the 13S7P battery takes up all the space in the holders so yeah, it gets a bit tight for the BMS to be fitted inside the enclosure. The only disadvantage of having the case heated up to shape it around the BMS is that it expands the hole that is used to cast the plastic inside a mould. That can be easily patched but takes a few extra hours. Thank you once again.

Hi, Donny. Thank you for composing such a well detailed video of this effort. I will use it as a reference as I slowly work to converting my street bicycle to an e-bike. I have 2 questions: 1) Can you provide me the break-down of the math that allows you to say that a 13s 7p configuration will give you a 1000 watt solution? (I know that each (new) 18650 cell is supposed to have a nominal 3.7 volts.. but how does that bring me to 1000 (more-or-less) watts? 2) If I have 100 x 18650 cells, and they fall (randomly) into ranges of power - that I document to be from, let’s say 2150 mAh’s and 2450 mAh’s, then, it isn’t/wasn’t clear to me from THIS video how I ought to group batteries covering a rather broad range of powers - into a block of 7 parallel cells. Can you give me - us - some guidance on this - or possibly direct me/us to a video that addresses this matter? Thank you so much! Josh

@DonnyTerek 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Josh. Thank you for the kind comment, much appreciated. Glad to see that my video will be used as a reference to help you build your own. I won't be getting into too much detail on my answers but will do my best to provide some info: 1) A 13s7p configuration means that you are connecting 13 packs (made up of 7 cells connected in parallel) in series. A series connection adds up your voltage from each cell pack 13 * 3.7V = 48.1V. Note that 3.7V is the voltage of a half empty battery. Now the 7 cells that are connected in parallel give us a multiplied capacity from each cell. Let's say you are connecting 7 cells in parallel that are approx 2400 mAh each. That gives us 7 * 2.4 Ah = 16.8 Ah of battery capacity with a voltage of approx 48V. Power is equal to voltage times amps. To get 1000W of power from a 48V battery, we need 1000/48= 21 Amps of current. This amount of current will be drawn from each parallel group of cells that are connected in series (13 groups of 7 cells which are connected together). This results in 3 Amps of current draw from each cell (21 Amps / 7 cells = 3 Amps). 2) You need to group the 7 parallel cells in the way that would result in a total capacity that is close in each of the 13 groups. Let's say you group 7 cells with a capacity ranging from 2400 to 2500 mAh in total, and the total capacity for this group that you get is 17150 mAh. Your next group of 7 cells is 18000 mAh in total. There is quite a difference in capacities from these two groups of 7 cells in each, so you need to swap a few cells between the groups to reach the optimal configuration where the total capacity is as close to each other as possible. That's where the spreadsheet comes in help since you can write down each cell capacity and then 'stack' them on the spreadsheet to see how you can achieve that each group of 7 cells comes with a similar capacity. Hope this helps, best of luck! Thank you.

Can you post a dropbox link of your spreadsheet to match the 18650? What is the reason you changed the charging plug in the box? Can this plug not load 5 Ampere?

Hi Donny, awesome build, looks very neat and the cable management looks very professional. I am trying to understand the wiring of the bms, battery and the battery connector before I try this out myself. at around 13:45 you solder a discharge wire from the battery positive, and at 14:50 it looks like you connect it to the positive lug of the battery connector. There is another "output wire" going to the negative end of the battery connector, but you only filmed the B- and B+ wires being soldered to the battery. Where is this other "output wire" coming from?

@Debbiebabe69 2 жыл бұрын

You can have front and rear gears, however you rarely use them on a powerful hub motor ebike. At higher speeds you are pretty much riding a motorbike and all the pedals are for is to fool police/bystanders into thinking it is a pedal bike so you dont get your bike destroyed. At low speeds, simply setting assist to its lowest level allows you to pedal on your highest gear with little effort, so you dont need all the lower gears. Ive still got gears on both my ebikes, but ifI get round to it I will be removing them, to remove stress on the frames (I had to press the frames outward to fit both the motor and the rear cassette).

@DonnyTerek Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Hope you give this build a try. Since this bike is mainly used on flat city roads, extra gears would not be used much. A single gear allows for a smaller tooth number in the back, which combined with a large chainring in the front, allows the rider to pedal more efficiently at higher speeds. It also cleans up the cockpit since a shifter for the rear derailleur is not needed.

Hi, I'm looking into converting and I have a few questions. 1. In your previous 65km/h build you used 8a 35e Samsung cells vs. 5.2a 26f here, which is not considered a high amp cell as witnessed by my laptop battery which has the exact same cells. "Knowledgeable" people on the internet have said using pc cells for ebike is a big no no, but seeing how you've done it I'd like to hear from you on how it compares with 8a cells. I guess slower acceleration and faster cell wear are among the issues, but would like to hear your thoughts. 2. I was quite puzzled to see you go with a single speed freewheel but no belt drive. I thought it's a no-brainer for such a setup, no? 3. Seeing how your rear caliper mount doesn't support 203mm disc, why didn't you go with a smaller one? 4. Do you know why those chinese controller boxes are so large if only half the space is occupied? Have you considered storing the excess cables in there instead of a "black box"? Alternatively have you considered cutting out the excess cables altogether? Thanks in advance

@DonnyTerek Жыл бұрын

Hi! 1. For this 1000W build a high current rating on the battery cells was not needed. These cells are not genuine but perform quite well. The motor will pull a maximum of around 1500W, so each cell will need to output just around 5 Amps at max load. These cells are actually good for up to 7 amps of current draw. And if they are used in laptops, it doesn't mean they can't be used for higher power applications like this e-bike build. And after more than 1500 km with this battery, it is still doing well and pushing the bike with no problems. 2. I don't see a need for a belt drive considering the relatively high cost compared to the readily available and super cheap chain driven parts. And after more than 1500 km on the odometer, the chain works great with almost no maintenance done to it. 3. Bicycle frames are generally (if not all) are built for 160mm brake discs. To accommodate a large brake disc like this 203mm one I used, an adapter is used. For an e-bike like this it is recommended to use larger disc brakes for better heat dissipation and braking power. 4. I guess a larger box is better for heat dissipation from the transistors that are mounted directly to the sides of the case. I wouldn't recommend trying to fit the cables and the connections inside the controller case since they will be difficult to access if you need to unplug some connectors and can cause shorts if any connections are exposed so an additional 'black box' is not such a bad idea. I did cut some of the excess cables to make it easier to fit inside the box. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.

Hi donny,I want to ask ? I have a 1000 watt 48 volt rear engine. so I want a battery that can last 8 or 10 hours a day or the longer the better? so how many volts and ah battery size? because I'm a bicycle food delivery…. Thank you donny

@DonnyTerek 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! The needed battery size highly depends on the rider's weight, terrain, speeds, how much you pedal, etc. For a regular DIY e-bike you most likely won't be able to fit more than 20-25 Ah battery. I would suggest you go with a 48V 20Ah battery and check for how long it is enough for you. Perhaps have a second one that you can safely charge while the first one is being used.

@Debbiebabe69 2 жыл бұрын

if you have a 48 volt motor and controller, use a 48 volt battery. As for ah, the more the better if you are wanting to ride all day, so fit the biggest you have space for in your frame. 10 hours is a lot though, so you probably want to buy 2 batteries and keep one on charge.

It is simply for keeping the tension on the chain. Other than that is serves no other purpose. There are chain tensioners that you can use instead of a derailleur like I did, but mine did not fit.

What are the advantages of building your battery yourself other than knowing how well you assembled it? Do the pre-ready ones don't have the temperature readings? Also there are a lot of type of batteries available, what to choose between 36/48/52 V, and what AH choose too? The higher the AH the more charge it can hold? Your videos really makes me want to build one of these ebikes kit but i'm just not sure for the batteries

@DonnyTerek 2 жыл бұрын

Well, probably the main advantage is that you save quite a bit by making one yourself and you don't cut corners on quality. Personally I haven't found pre-built battery packs this size with a smart BMS installed that lets you monitor the temperature and other readings. The required voltage of the battery depends on the kit that you are using. Check what your controller can accept. Most of the times if the controller shows that it can handle up to 48V, usually they also work with 52V. This way a higher voltage battery produces more speed. The controller in this kit works with, therefore I use a 48V (13S) battery. I believe it would also work with a 52V (14S) battery, too. The larger the Ah rating, the more distance you can cover in one charge. Depends if you want the bike to go on longer distances, then go with a larger Ah rating - 18 to 21 Ah. Of course the larger Ah rating costs more since it needs more battery cells. Hope this helps.
