DIY Electric Motorcycle 53 mph / 85 kmh
Here’s an incredible project from a young man in Vietnam, who built a stunning and functional electric motorcycle from scratch.
DIY Battery Modules: bigbattery.com/product-catego...
The motorbikes design is based off the BMW HP Kunst Hydrogen Concept bike.
They describe the project as a technological showcase of hydrogen technologies positioned in the high performance range, that combines the racing characteristics of a supermoto bike and the sportiness of a roadster.
They imagined the motorcycle as having an Aluminium frame, tubular steel and carbon parts, a brushless 100kw motor powered by a fuel cell with a cryogenic hydrogen tank, a lithium polymer battery, electronic controls, and electromagnetic suspension.
Inspired by this forward looking concept, young Pham Vu decided to build an electric motorcycle based on the design.
As a mechanical engineering student, the design and mechanical work came naturally, but the electronic components required some research and testing.
The frame was designed in Autodesk Inventor software, and he cut the steel and welded it together himself. The project which took about 6 months to complete, cost Pham nearly $3000 USD and was actually his graduation project for university. He hopes that it can prove his skill and ingenuity to future employers.
With features like a remote key and a custom tablet dashboard, the build is definitely quite impressive.
The build includes repurposed parts such as wheels from a Yamaha ex150 and a nitrogen air shock absorber, and this ingenious ebike can travel 80 km / 50 miles on a single charge, although Pham doesn’t have much time to cruise because he’s busy with other projects lately.
With a top speed of 85k/mh | 53MPH, the electric bike is powered by a 60volt 50 amp hour lithium iron phosphate battery pack, and driven by a 2000 watt electric motor.
He told me the wiring was typical for an electric motorbike project, but was difficult to get right, and it looks like he did a great job with pro details like headlights, tail lights and brake lights.
In future projects, he hopes to be able to incorporate carbon fiber 3d printing to extend his build capabilities.
For this bike he made body panels by cutting and flat pressing PVC pipe into shapes he designed in CAD software.
The ride has that characteristic electric sound, and it looks to be an absolute blast to ride. With comparable electric motorcycles typically being much more expensive than this home built DIY electric bike, it looks like he made himself an incredible toy for commuting, or just hotrodding around Vietnam where i’m sure he’s got a lot of people snapping their necks to take a peak at this boy geniuses crazy creation.

Update: Pham was featured in one of Vietnam’s largest newspapers, got several job offers, and just accepted a position with a growing technology company in Asia. 🙏 Newspaper Photo: kzhead.infoUgyEWVUZfia08kh0gEl4AaABCQ
Great...
Nice I can hope to create this type of stuff when I’m older
Very immpressive keep going
the car is in Vietnam and I think it is a Vietnamese made
hope it was in a Country that would respect his engineering skills .. monetary wise.
This is my graduation project... Judges: Hands the diploma in 10secs.
Imagine the job offers this youngster is fielding?!
Awesome work man. The chassis design and finished body structure is really good. Hope you will have a very bright future, congratulations for you wonderfull hardwork man.
Hi, Pham Vu, pls call me 0933910935.
How much does it cost?
@@GVChannel almost 3000$ us... it says it in the video lol. To build it yourslef that is.. this one isnt for sale.
Tell that young man "SCREW FUTURE EMPLOYERS!!!!" Start your own business. This is amazing!!!!
dammm right, screw working for the MAN like a slave... with skills like this, your set for life. start up your own company and watch the orders flood in
Ford just closed a factory in Australia. If this guy can build the frame to adopt to different part suppliers, he could build EV motorcycles and trikes
Can you make me one send to Canada
@@JerryDLTN Ford is building new plant for e transportation development in Michigan & windsor for new electric.
@@chipsform hi
It is gorgeous, I would brand it if I was him. He is giving credit to bmw
True , For his wonderful creation , he credits BMW ! ....
@@anto3995 in poor country like his who brand make will be looked at.
Ur absolutely right
Well maybe he want appreciate it because he use a BMW concept to make a preference..
nice student good job
I don't own a company, but someone who has the drive, persistence and curiosity to create something like this is someone I'd definitely consider hiring. A company like Tesla might appreciate a personal project like this. Not affiliated, with them, just saying.. :)
Agreed. This project demonstrated a wide range of skills, aptitude for technology, and attention to detail.
Too bad Elon Musk hates bikes and has sadi that Tesla would have nothing to do with them. Zero on the other hand, or one of the growing range of electric bike manufacturers would be interested in a proposal
Companies like Tesla are the problem they are not the solution these companies charge you sky high prices for simple electric cars that hundred years ago were running all over the place this guy did this with only three grand that's what you should really be looking at how much more could a multi-billion-dollar company do all they do is suppress technology we would already been living in The Jetsons age if it was not for these big companies and Banks suppressing technology from the masses cuz they're trying to squeeze every penny out of you you have to pay them to live Tesla wanted to do all of that for free give people the technology for free not charge them sky high prices
@@simonkennedy6116 Do you know why? People can easily build them. And there are too many cheap Chinese electric bikes in the market.
@@pinncok3344 aah your ignorance
Fantastic. As a fellow engineer I find this a wonderful and very practical project. The finished product looks like it could be in a showroom anywhere in the world. I hope you start your own company, you've got some real skills
Great job Pham! I am planning an electric conversion on an old motorcycle and I am learning a lot from videos like yours. Thanks a lot!
One of the Best Looking home made E-Bike I've ever seen.
who else watched because they thought it was something they may be able to DIY
That's what I thought Haha, but if I try to build one now, it'll cost me lifetime.
@@paulsaludez1014 I built one for 3500
I converted an old ke100 to electric for my high school senior project

@@user-pj8or2nh2t they make kits with hub moters all you really need is to decide what frame you want for the size of your battery
Totally awesome! The skills and experience gained from this will take you far.
Amazing build. Very inspirational. Makes me want to try to do one.
Same, I’m going to build a similar electric bike this year
@ElectricFuture if you build your electric bike, can you make a blog or video..from frame, motor,battery and proper wiring 👍👍👍
@Vic Marrotti thanks for the bizarre comment Vic keep em coming!
@@ElectricFuture please make a video of you building your own bike
Brother, take good offer, time is money, and start your own business after 3 yrs.
Hats off to your design and engineering on the bike! Looks really fabulous.
With this much amazing details in design, color combination at that 3000$ price point, I really have say great job buddy. You gifted yourself 3 thing, a stunning ebike, lot of technical skill and university degree.
I thought this was in production already, would love to get my hands on this!
Dear creator, I would LOVE a video showing how you got those pvc parts together to look that good! GREAT build mate!
Heat gun .
This young Vietnamese guy is simply brilliant. I hope his designs hits the streets soon because I would absolutely buy one. Beautiful design.
check www.yatrimotorcycles.com with 230KM of range that gets charged full in just 2 hours. I guess the design looks futuristic too.
If this is his graduation project. He will make future better for humanity. Bro keep up your work.
Hire this man, BMW! Looks like he's eyeing your company with this build :D
Amazing work, Pham! Love the look of the finished bike as well! You have a bright future young man! God Bless you!
Awesome work bud.great initiative towards the environment..keep inspiring ❤️
Very nice build if I say so myself. I would have loved to have gone on this journey with him since I am trying my hands at an EV Motorcycle build.
For real I'm just finishing up on mine its 60v 3000w . Its extremely fast
Chuc Mung em, Congratulations, it looks fantastic. How we can find you in Vietnam?
Me too..
Are you going rob his bike?
@@damiann4734 some of the funniest comment i've read in months.
Amazing work! I can't wait to see what else you will be creating.
Exceptional DIY engineering! this was clearly a ton of work. Bravo!
Astounding. Are there build videos? I have never heard of that PVC technique and would love to learn how to
I will post a full dump of all the raw videos and images he sent me via a link in the description later today.
Here are all the images he sent me with some more photos of PVC body work: bestcharged.com/diy-electric-motorcycle-images/
Reuse of PVC pipe is very popular in SE Asia. Splitting, heating and forming it is done a lot.
Great work. I’m currently working on converting a Polaris Slingshot into all electric.
Would love to see photos of the build post a link
Electric Future I’m working on posting it soon! Stay tuned
Great work man, keep it up, people like you can offer a better future.
It looks amazing good job man!
In the future, we could build our own motocycle with few click.
If that resales for 4500$ and has some more improvments he has a good company idea
He spent nearly 3K making the prototype...there is no fucking reason why it should cost more than half that in mass production.
@@DxBlack i took it to extreme man i know its not gonna be that expensive
Man, that's a super SWEET bike! GREAT Work!
This is as dope as it could get..!! Keep up the good work buddy..
Elon: Send location Pham Vu.
Great 👍 my selfmade e-bike do 45km/h and reach ca. 90km.
3000w?
@@j.s3612 250w and 36v with 22ah
@@CharlesEDarko I started off with 36v its was great, unite someone with 48v flew past me .
This boy is truly creative and visionary.i wish him success in every aspect of his life
Well done Brother... You have built something that even some companies are not thinking about... Great work...
The headlight reminds me of Call of Duty mobile's motorcycle.
DIY and Technology is a perfect combination....Thumbs up👌
Dang it hella GORG 💓🔥🔥 Kudos to the genius His smart work paid off .
Definitely an awesome job all around, way better than any diy project I've ever seen lol
Well done! Amazing job! I really like it. I hope this opens the gates of a very bright future for you.
Amazing and super impressive!!! Can't wait to see what this kid comes up with next!!!
Wow that's a cool bike. You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work
Awesome man!! Amazingly beautiful
Great job buddy, you definitely will go a long way, Kudos
It looks better than some professionally built and designed brands. Great job! Congrats! As I’m sure the power of the bike was determined by your budget at the time, I hope to see you overcome that issue one day.
Great job Pham! God has blessed you!
Absolute GOLD 👍 Really impressed with your workmanship. Peace from Australia 🐨🌴
You will be an inspiration to others. Amazing job.
Hats off to you and your work. So professional. Love from India.
This looks like a professionally designed and build bike, hard to believe it is a DIY by one person. A million likes for this bike.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.....................
Incredible work! Good job!
I think we need more of these, greets from germany! :)
Nice work! Very inspired! Thank you!
My honest congratulations Pham vu it sure was a difficult task and especially for a student. Your effort is something that most of us must admire and try to replicate
Great project, well done !👍👏
Wonderful man keep up the creative innovative works....stunning
So amazing, this student from Tra Vinh university, a province at the west of VietNam, first time see this electric bike, i think it maked by a famous brand, but i really uncrediable i maked by student, a complete product so nice
Congratulations! This is the future ☺️
Very impressive, wish him the best.... Great job👏👏👏🤙
Pham, It looks Fantastic, Keep up Buddy.
Wow! This is a very innovative idea and design, I would love to build one in singapore with the help of my brother-in-law who is great at modification of E-scooter, wiring and eletronic, we are just missing the parts to make the body. Anyway to get in touch with the vietnam engineer? I suggest he can make the parts and ship out to other hobbyist letting them custom design their own motor or display panel or wheels etc...he can continue his work making newer design or working on other things like a E-vehicle or E-boat.
Very inspiring....amazing work...very impressive, I would love to drive one
Kgf bike
Mind blowing work dude!! Professional ebike making companies should learn from your design and concepts for how an ebike should be... love your bike 💕 💕
EXCELLENT. Fine job young man your future is bright. keep it up
This young man has a bright future... Great job 👍
Its cool, would love to ride this amazing bike... good job & all the best.
A very talented young man.His country should encourage him & others like minded to improve & develop their lives in Vietnam.
Amazing work i loved it absolutely gorgeous 💜💜💜
Simply incredible!
Amazing bike! Great work.
annnnnndd i'm having trouble following ikea instructions. Good going kid. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’m fully impressed. I love it
Absolutely beautiful design. I wish this was mass produced.
Its 2023,still the only best ebike build ive seen o far..👍👍👍 i mean one of the two best build..
Great work mate....More power to you!!!! :)
Wow that's awesome 👌 and amazing, great work 👍
Totally different and look like professional ❤
Awsome Build, excellent work
Salute! Great job!
Awesome bike bro. I am in love with it.
My grandson graduated from well known engineering university with a degree in mechanical engineering like Pham. There is one thing that is difference: he disassembled the car engine, and reassembled it with a lot of left over parts, bolts and nuts on the floor of the garage. He finally called a tow truck to dump it in a junk yard after a month of playing around with the engine.
Awesome man!!! You rock!!!
Awesome work Homey.
Well done ...Pham! 👏
Love from vietnam. Such a piece of art
Pham you're amazing bro, this is insane and looks cool too because I saw some projects like this, unlike the other projects seems like this one is more complete and designed well. Maybe you can create your own brand and you sell motorcycles in the future bro! Cheers!
It is a beautiful , beautiful project ... A great thumbs up .... Hope he keeps it up. ..
That is beautiful!!!
I was thinking of building my own electric bike and I have to think no more about it MY PROJECT IS ON ( thank you for the inspiration )
Wow man.. just love it.. we need more and more green technology 👍
Well done man, you are a pro!
Wow! What a genius invention❤️
Unbelievable well done! 👏🏻
Nice build, the future is here. I’m thinking of a 3000 Watt motor for my next ebike conversion.
Impressive work! 👍🏽
Keep up the good work man
Very very good job!!! The led lights for less power consumption and extreme long life! The bike looks completely like factory new made...i love it
The pvc body is incredie, me myself being a mechanical engimeer, and a formula 3 prototyle builder, salute your prototyping skills. Your bike is phenomenal and you must run into dealerships ones you end up with your collage. Gud luck bro.
W.O.W.....!! What an AWESOME BUILD ,, it's like a Factory BMW FUTURE BiKE... I'm very Proud of my vietnamese felons. ....!!!
