In this technical DIY video, the creator demonstrates how to construct a high-powered e-bike battery on a budget by connecting three 22.2-volt LiPO batteries in series to achieve a total voltage of 66.6 volts. The video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on creating a wiring harness that safely connects the batteries, emphasizing the importance of careful handling due to the potential risks of LiPO batteries. The presenter walks viewers through selecting appropriate connectors (XT90), preparing the wiring, and creating a series connection that maximizes voltage for enhanced e-bike performance. He collaborates with a local tech shop to professionally assemble the harness and demonstrates the final voltage measurement, which reaches around 68.1 volts. The primary goal is not long-range travel, but creating a high-acceleration e-bike setup that delivers significant power and ‘fun factor’. The video also covers crucial safety considerations, charging requirements for LiPO batteries, and potential future modifications like parallel battery configurations. Throughout the tutorial, the creator maintains an enthusiastic and cautious approach, offering practical advice for hobbyists interested in custom e-bike battery solutions.
