Brushless Electric Bike Kit iMortor - Teardown + High Power Mod

Get one: http://bit.ly/2j7kudi Help me buy another one for the rear: https://www.patreon.com/marcoreps Schematic more or less: https://imgur.com/a/IbkRV Great BLDC animation: http://www.ti.com/general/docs/video/watch.tsp?entryid=3870197889001 All electric vehicles are awesome. But I can afford neither Tesla, nor Boosted Board, so for the time being I have to be content with an electric bicycle. Or do I? This Chinese iMortor is made very nicely and it can easily handle more power than the original driver delivers. So I make my own Arduino-based BLDC driver with beefy MOSFETs and a horribly dangerous 18650 pack. The result is promising, but there was no time for a neat and tidy installation ...

I really enjoyed that. What microcontroller did you end up using?

Arduino Nano - until my reserves are depleted. Then I might try to switch to something for grown ups, STM32 or something ...

PS: I'm jealous of your RTB2004 :|.

Cool mod but I guess for this kind of bike you need thousands of certificats just for the case that the police stops you.

Awesome! One extra for the rear wheel (a bigger mechanical challenge though) would be hilarious.

Also the thumbnail for this video did not disappoint!
