In this video we are building another electric dirt bike, this time we are modifying the dirt bike engine and installing the electric motor into the engine so therefore we can still have the 6 speed transmission and clutch.

    I guess your neighbor won't get mad about this one šŸ¤£
  • @TechKnowCSS
    I think this was your first, FIRST test run that had ZERO failures or breakdowns AND the longest.
  • @therealcmplx
    Ok bro....as a legit kart racer I have to say...kudos on this build. I want to see this up against a KZ2 on a sorted chassis. Well done sir!
  • @jok3yjesu339
    Man you do electric builds so much different than everyone else I love it. I particularly love how you made it work to still have a gearbox that you can shift. Adds some of that raw feeling back to it which you really need without the engine noises. Honestly I feel like if you made the design a little better you could sell them
  • I'm not exactly captain safety, and in fact, safety is usually 3rd in my shop. But I would absolutely invest a piece of sheet metal and 20 minutes into fabbing up a chain guard. Lol

    That throttle is the symbol of this channel šŸ˜‚

    The only thing that beats this build... Is Chris's laugh when driving it šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£ šŸšŸ˜ŽšŸ‘

    Very cool build. I still think you need to send those cases off to have sand mold made. Its sellable
  • @ABCustoms
    I think he doesn't have the right controller for the qs138. With a Votol EM260 this engine can deliver 40 hp. so there is still a lot to gain!
  • Half circle thing you're unsure of is Transmission vent/overflow it's a rubber grommet and a hose on the bike. Since the Transmission oil warms up it must be vented so to not create transmission case pressure.

    When you take the helmet off and your grinning like that, it's fast enough, that looks awesome, can't wait to see it in the dirt bike!!
  • @WireWeHere
    A cushioned rear hub might help with some programming of the ramp if it is or can be made available. Another thought option to test is setting an idle speed for the electric motor to force using the clutch as intended. A bonus being it shouldn't be prone to stalling.
  • @fire_node2416
    i expected the gears to be basically useless due to the torque and high rpm of an electric motor but its soo cool that it actually revs out in every gear and sounds pretty cool.
  • @willierule3744
    You know I was watching something you filmed 2016 and Man let me tell you you have come so freaking far just want to give props where itā€™s deserved and you are so good at what you do these days. Good job.
  • @isaacsielaff191
    You should really start a company and mass produce these engines, pure genius man.
  • @Dylan-zj1lz
    With how the gearbox is setup (a standard motorcycle), which is designed not to start from 0 when in gear, the engine is always spinning, maybe if you could have the electric motor have a constant rpm? So when you have let off the throttle, the motor will idle at say 200-500 rpm? Maybe higher if needed, but that way it would force you to use the clutch and allow for a much smoother launch.
