This sounds like the rhetorical question a Midwestern engineer might ask, 'Can you fix this bad PCB spin?' [Tom Stanton] The title turns out to answer the question and ends construction a E-bikes that work with a drone motor,
you must be thinking, A motor is a motor; What's the big deal? But a drone motor and a regular e-bike motor are made for very different purposes. Drone motors spin at 30,000 rpm, and an e-bike hub motor typically clocks in around 200-300 rpm, while much larger ones. Additionally, a drone motor runs at a lower speed than a large fan blows, and an e-bike motor can run almost continuously.
The first step was to use gears and pulleys to reduce the RPM on the motor so as to provide more torque. A little CAD and 3D printing later, [Tom] There was a setup ready to try. However, the motor quickly burned out. With a slightly larger motor and more gear reduction, the Version 2 performed remarkably well. After a race between a proper e-bike and a drone bike, the coils had almost melted.
if you are thinking We have some tips on how to make your bike electric, We'll give the second piece of advice for free: use a bigger motor than the drone motor, even if it technically works. Video after the break.
