DIY e-bike: speed with the cordless drill

Not much is actually needed to convert a conventional bike into a version with an electric motor: a cordless drill, a piece of wood and a few cable ties. The self-build is ready, with which a speed of up to over 50 kilometers per hour can be achieved.

The thing was built by Kim Henriksen, a boy from Denmark. The technology is amazingly simple: you remove the crank and attach a battery drill to the mounting screw on the bottom bracket. The extraordinary home-made e-bike is finished. Of course, the thing is not approved, and the range is also likely to be limited, but the idea is somehow fascinating.
