How to build a DIY electric powered fat bike with car tires start to finish

In this video you see me building a DIY electric powered fat bike with car tires at home in my garage. The video contains the full build start to finish. I added chapters below to easily navigate through the video. I am a Mercedes and AMG fan so the obvious choice was to use AMG wheels. It is powered by 2 hoverboard motors coupled together and 2 48v lithium batteries. It drives fairly well, however it is very heavy so you have to get used to it to take turns. Brakes are a little underpowered, better solution would be hydraulic disc brakes from a motorcycle. Technical details: Wheels: 8 x 20“ with 225-35-20 tires Motor: 2x 350w 36v from hoverboard Batteries: 2x 48v 72000mAh Lithium pack Controller: 2x 48v 350W GT-100 Weight: approximately 75 kg Topspeed: 40 km/h Chapters: 0:00 - intro 0:12 - building the frame 8:52 - building the motor 15:02 - building the battery tray 17:29 - spray painting 18:22 - brakes and electronics 20:01 -
