Just a quick look at my electric bike built mostly with parts I already had, including a Ryobi 40V power tool battery.

This is just a quick look at the bike. I’m currently working on a long-format video showing step-by-step how I built it.
The motor and controller were second-hand; a friend gave them to me a few years ago.
500 watt, 36V, similar to many common electric bike kits.
I already have the bicycle frame and Ryobi battery.

I 3D printed the battery mount and the motor controller mount on my Ender 3 S1 printer: https://amzn.to/3cDUOAL
I only purchased a few electrical connectors to build the battery mount and the Grin Tech torque arm.

I used a spoke wrench to true-up the wobbly old rim.

I had this idea a few years back, but just recently found some excellent documentation of a similar project by some college engineering students at the University of Pittsburg. They did a great job, including 3D modeling the battery mount. Take a look at their project files at: https://github.com/pittxprojects/ebike
