Diy Ebike

So how long does will this run on a charge?

I kept all the parts off two of the little Power wheels jeeps. Now I have an idea for a new quiet electric hunting bike, complete with forward and reverse controllers.

depends on battery used, terrain and whether you use throttle only or pedal assist. pedal assist is nice you pedal and the motor kicks in to help. range on mine is north of 40 miles....haven't ran it until dead yet but have put over 40 miles on it and still had quite a bit of juice left.

had so much fun with the first one i needed to build another one. took the first one through some deep mud holes, creeks with about 12" of water, fields with chest high grass covering up boulders and fallen trees etc.

this time i wanted a fat bike so started with a cheap $200 mongoose dolomite from walmart. BBSHD motor kit $700. few accessories (seat, rack, bow holders, battery bag) $100. I will build my own battery for this one in a few days (52v, 15ah) ~$240
So this one will come in much cheaper than the first.

Here’s the first one after my first hunt with it.


What used to be a 25 min walk to stand is now under 2 min.
Deer don’t mind it much. Several walked right by it. Park it 30 yards away.

Bike 2 before converting. After stripping all the stickers off it.

Crazy cool. Had no idea you could build these yourself. Where do you buy the parts?

Really cool. 40 miles plus range is awesome. I cringed when you said 23mph and wet corner.

Bikesdirect.com has some really good customizeable cheaper fatbikes amongst other types of bikes. Ive a Gravity Fatbike for around $500...and I was able to build it online to fit my lanky frame.

I like your rattle can camo. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

I never could color between the lines I am way too lazy to properly prep etc lol. Figured it would rub off the tires soon. Just wanted to knock the shine off it.

and yeah bikesdirect is awesome and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality bike a good price.
