Used a washing machine’s brushless DC motor
Redditor, Jimminecraftguy, who is out to get his electricians degree in 2 years, built quite the DIY project indeed: After taking his washing machine’s brushless DC motor out, which runs on 1,100 watts but is made to run on 48 since he doesn’t want “to die anytime soon,” he placed it in the center of his old bike’s frame and connected its drive gear to one of the front chainrings. This way, he was able to send power to the rear wheel, making everything run smoothly.
