The ultimate sleeper electric scooter build - Part 1
I've never said this before but..... please like, share and subscribe. I feel dirty now ???
This will be the build series to replace V4 e-Bike. I've had to face the very harsh reality that I can't do things like I used to. My leg pains are no better but I'm managing to cope with it as long as I have a bed or floor nearby to lie on ? Riding an e-Bike causes strain on my spine but the Bogist C1 Pro really does a good job of soaking up the bumps - to the point where I don't really notice them. I'm not going to reveal the total parts list just yet because I haven't really finalised it but, needless to say, this thing is going to fly and it'll weigh no more than the original Bogist C1 Pro that it's made from. That doesn't mean I'll be hooning around on it but I've got to try it just once.
The aim of this is to get a Ministers Approval Certificate so I can legally ride it on the road with number plates, tax and MOT but to start with, I'm just making the thing go stupidly fast. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdrhGdKQjbY
It's taken me quite a long time to make this into something that most people can build. I never intended for it to be released but I like sharing the knowledge ?
If you feel sorry for me, you can help me in 3 ways....
Via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/vortecks (where you get to see the much longer and uncut videos a week or 2 early and sometimes, I only release them on Patreon because I'd probably get banned in here. Plus which, I do a weekly Q&A/dicking around live stream where this sort of thing happens https://youtu.be/owBZWQMEijc)
Or you could buy me a coffee (or a pint ?) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vortecks
Or if you click this link and buy stuff, I get a little commission from Banggood: https://www.banggood.com/custlink/GK3dLJkVGR
Parts list (I tried to limit them to one supplier but I failed on a couple of things) These are affiliate links so it'll help me out a little and believe me, I need it ?

All the WS2812 LED's came from www.banggood.com and was collected over many months of buying a few at a time.
You know you start something and soon wish you hadn't?
This took a total of 16 hours to solder, mount and do some simple scripting to display pretty colours. There's still loads to do with it but if anyone is thinking of doing it...... DON'T
I must either have too much time on my hands, or I'm totally mad. My vote is on the latter :-)

After a complete stripdown, repair, mod and rebuild, I went for a test.....
The flight wasn't clean because I was also trying to set everything up.
Still more mods to come......

If you want to be ahead of the times and see where the build progress is (quite a bit further than you see here) join me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/vortecks
All my Patreon videos are uncut, a lot longer and I go into far more detail and I do live streams when I'm not lying flat on the floor in agony. Also, if you help me, I'll help you if you need it.
Please note: This thing is far from finished. I'm not simply putting a giant motor on the back and taking it out, this is a Tony build, I have a lot planned for it and I should have it ready for the Spring/Summer.
Any problems that are shown in these videos have long been sorted. You're watching things that were done over a month ago on YT.

This is my 3rd build which is now an e-motorbike and no longer a normal e-bike.
It's going to have number plates because I'm putting it through the MSVA.

There's a reason why I'm building it with a removable batter - WEIGHT! Carrying a pushbike up 2 flights of stairs is bad enough but when it weighs in excess of 40kg and you're in your 50's, it really does take its toll.
I won't be listing prices as they change dramatically with China.
