Chuck Sutton - You’re
That ride looked like heaven, cut through the traffic, no parking restrictions and no road tax to pay. I'm sold, I'm building a e bike.
His work is done. ;)
Road tax is nil for all electric vehicles including my zero
literally why i bought one
I'm buying a conversion kit for my commute to work.
It’s like a motorbike but cheaper
nice little adventure. Felt like I was on a UK outing. nicely done.
+Joe A. Daniels haha thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, and tour of Sudbury! The more I watch your vids, the more I need to get an ebike.
+Anton thanks! You NEED an Ebike! 😉
Honestly I’m fine with the music. It makes the ride even more calming
I agree I like the music as well. Nicely fit for the video.
Popped front up.... past other bike.. love it, wicked tune mate😜
Love this Andy. I'm in Braintree so I'm laughing at how quickly you got to Sudbury!!
Thanks for sharing this - I'm a cycling commuter but I've just started a new job which is some 12 miles farther away from home than my old job so I've been pondering a e-bike. The acceleration and speeds you achieved were outrageous! I wouldn't be looking for that kind of performance but it's interesting to know I could adapt my bike in this way.
+Stewart Black yeah it's pretty crazy but a hell of a lot of fun to push the limits! You could pick up an ebike ready made or just buy a motor kit and fit it onto any existing bike like I did in one of my earlier videos, 12 miles is no hassle at all for a modest setup without spending a fortune. I love this mode of transport.
You will never look back! The only downside is that you soon get used to it which makes regular bikes feel really slow to the point of being pointless.
I would love to see people's faces when you go pedalling past at 50 mph. ha!
Dan Barrett ROFL same here bud they'd be gob smacked I watch this and think wheres my future going lol, Im sort of jealous I don't have one of these Ima deffo save of up for my companion bike thatl save me from extortionate bus fares.
You seen those E-Bikes with the long comfortable sets? they could have a boot or compartment under one of those 😂
I'm sure they think 'what a pillock'. He's actually videoed the evidence for his own prosecution.
A few years ago, shock. But illegal e-bikes are starting to become more known now, so a lot of people will know exactly what's going on.
yeah, I used to have a similar bike to this. Bombed around on the street for a few years, then thought 'fuck it, may as well switch up to a motorcycle at this rate since all I use it for is commuting'. Now I look back on myself and think 'holy shit, I was going around on those speeds on a pedal bike in regular clothing. Good thing I didn't crash!'
The motorbike's still electric because it suits my typical
Will Davis How exactly is the bike itself safer than a well built ebike? If you crash you still fly off it the same speed.
I would rather hear the wind, bike and city than the music.
Good vid otherwise. Nice city.
Agree
agree
When you're going that fast all the gopro will hear is psssssssssssshhzhshsushshdddhdudjdiffsusdjffjudcuchvidukviijhgghggggggggggesrgftg
Truly said Ben Jamin
just has the wrong type and volume of music i think
I’ve never seen one in action lol that’s super cool. I enjoyed the view
Thanks!
You post some of the best videos, hope you keep doing it!
Built my first ebike because of your channel mate, 1000w rear hub kit, cut my commute in half, great fun aswell
Videos like these are going to fck it up in the end. The law will come crashing down hard requiring insurance and even poss training and a license. And yes that will be with the 15mph limit.
Better watch my video series where I go the road legal electric motorcycle route.
andy kirby: Learn the difference between legal, lawful and just plain stupid. Get some life insurance if you have any prospective beneficiaries.
Yep this guy is gonna fuck up ebiking for everyone with his stupidity.. his bike doesnt even look like a cycle.. the cops will pull him sooner or later
maybe he's willing to take that risk ? stop with the mard arse "ruining it for everyone" you soft twats ffs.
@@2nuckinfuts nothing will happen ,ma zombie knife attacker didnt even get jail for smashing a car up in broad daylight
5:14 pop the front wheel and.......gone! And still 'peddling' ....
Can’t understand how so many thumbs down!? Another good e bike - wish my little 350w went like that! 19 mph I get which I find is fine in London but soon as I’m in Herts/Cambs/Essex on similar roads/hills it seems like it’s not quite enough! 30 mph should be the limit imo and it would definitely get more ppl out of their cars and even off bikes. No tax or petrol and better for the planet. Thanks
You could have lost that bike guy back in time when you pass him, ha! Andy you naughty boy. Love the video keep it up
15.5mph has never looked so fun
Nice Video,Andy. I commute that exact same stretch of road nearly every day in a car. Your vlog has got me thinking about the dough I could save by getting an e.bike. 55mph is nuts! love the bit where you left the guy on the push-bike for dust.
+Joe pechie really!? Good to hear from someone who's local. You could certainly save a lot, I've been measuring the energy consumption of the charger and the cost per mile is minuscule compared to a gas guzzler! Plus you wouldn't even pay for the electricity if you charged it at work😉
That's precisely what I do (charge at work, with the Boss's blessing)
Usually saves me about £20 a week in commute fuel for the past 8 years !
Joe.. Get one or build one - It's great fun.
Joe pechie Me too bud it would save us bus fares, fuel, coach/train fares if it can kill upto 50-75mile radius that would be amazing, if you commute all you have to do is get 2 or 3 power banks about 20000mah should do the trick or take the battery to a bike shop, Im excited to get one no more sitting next to strange ppl on buses if you know what I mean lol.
If your going on holiday it would be handy too
Joe pechie
Don't get so excited so much that you will go out and follow his example. His bike is actually illegal on UK roads. He is just taking big risks riding that bike, something nobody in their right mind would recommend.
Of course he's going to leave the guy on the normal bike for dust it's electric you fool, it's also lazy as fuck it's not going to do anything for health either.
I enjoyed every minute of this.
Jesus that's quick well done sir 👏🤘
The first conversion bike you demonstrated, was just a bit scary, however the E Bike looks a lot more substantial. I'm definitely going to "Pull the trigger" on this kit. I have the shop and experience but it will still be a nice challenge. Stay safe Andy .
Overtaking on zigzags at traffic lights is a sure way be involved in some kind of accident. Happens all to often here in West Yorkshire.
Where in West York’s u from
This is the (iconic video) that started it all off for Me.... Legend Andy!
Daron
Your welcome 😅😎👌🏼
I live in the US, I ride my bike to work every day. You sir, ride that e bike like a maniac. You'd get flattened riding that thing between oncomming traffic here
Yeah this was early days, I was just over excited. I’m not such a hooligan now!
i really like that song a lot when I'm drunk yo...
I want to see one of you guys do a "running from the cops" video. This is awesome. I suspect these new electric bikes will be regulated soon and screw up all the fun.
Already are now…see my comment above. It is an effing travesty. Punish irresponsible road users, yes..…but not for safe riding.
Bangin tune, big up phone experts.
Video was awesome 👏🏻 I wish I had the knowledge to build one exactly like yours 👍🏻👍🏻
I love the Brits abilities to marry art and technology. Nortons and Jaguars forever!
and mclarens :P
And Aston Martin 😁
Austin Mini
I’m not sure about the background music lol 😃
That's serious speed dude
That was a wonderful ride, I can feel it , ...I have a 12 ins. wheel folding E-Bike with a 35k battery ride where I only ride on Saturday or Sunday where Bangkok traffic is no busy. Wish I live in your part of the world, ...that was a real fast ride,,..nice video champ.
Hope you've got the brightest lumens front flashlight on that amazing cycle? If any of them stationary cars pull out on you from the left - it's game over for awhile.
I thought that size eBike motor was illegal in the UK.
Wow 20-minute video and I saw the bike for almost a full second. thanks
Haha check out the other videos on the channel, you’ll see loads of shots of the actual bike.
Bloody brilliant Andy.
You drank coffee not tea ...... You're alright in my book
+pfflyers1 haha!
Amen! lol! Cool video
pfflyers1 coffee is a pretty much tea though. It’s coffee bean tea.
5:15........Blip.....gone!!!! Ha Ha Ha! Quality!
Fantastic video, so much fun for an old guy like me to go for a ride on a great bike like this one.
Did hate the music though, sounds like something that should be on a skinflick !
Thanks again
That bloke on the bike was like wtf was that 😂. 👍
How Andy bab bab bab bab,....Love you God bless up
Riding on pavements/footpaths/sidewalks is actually encouraged in Bangkok, Thailand. Actually, probably saved many cyclist's lives. Feel sorry that your laws that have put cyclists on the road where they can (and are) mowed down and killed and injured regularly by motor vehicles.
Yes but this is england!
No, it's England if you're writing in the English language. Maybe you should learn Arabic. It might come in handy in the future.
maxyakov hopefully not in my lifetime!
peter crofts (Proper nouns?): Hope doesn't cut it (nor does it impeded over-the-top immigration. Maybe you'll have a short lifetime?
maxyakov merry xmas x
Beautiful bike mate!
So nice to got to a shop and aske for a cup full of angry pixies (Electrons). How lovely.
This bike ride looks really dangerous, and illegal.
But I really like it ;-) Good work.
how is that dangerous
What's the name of the track used in the vid??
darude - sandstorm
This was so satisfying to watch!
+Catlover9830 thanks!
andy kirby no problem!
Could you please tell me a good specification for the parts? I fancy making one myself!
sad but soon E bikes will have to have insurance yet again the government claiming down i got done for doing
35 mph on bike lane so watch out ....
Beautiful country, sadly my ebike is limited to 20.8mph. :(
+KlipschHead281 thanks! Why is it limited?
Law makers with nothing better to do than regulate. 20mph is current law as top speed for an ebike.
haha Laws. my E-bike is doing 55 mph. i did have a 36 Chainring .that gives you 24 mph. ive now put a 44 Chainring on that give you 32 mph. now i am going 52 or 60 Chainring. so i can pedal it up to 55/60 mph. i did 25 miles on my E-bike and it was like 45 minutes in the GYM when i got home LOL.
25 km/h
to slow for me.
Just watching your video from the CZcams rabbit hole, and see the town I grew up in 30odd years ago. Blast from the past Halstead. Went to school there
I got into ebikes with a Bionx kit for my touring bike using the pedal assist conservatively greatly extends your boost an travel time. You can also recharge on the go with generative braking an gen mode on downhill
It's so weird looking at the roads as an American
Same but the exact opposite
ThtGuyNaz Haha try driving in the UK mate you'll either love it or hate it the traffic is mainly annoying
Why? Don 't you have roads in America?
I agree. The traffic problems can be incessant depending on where you live: grid-lock in almost every direction with small, narrow and windy roads that are often poorly-designed and poorly-maintained.
Zir haha shite you mean
If we want less polution....Less noise....Electric bikes are the way forward. We need greater power though. Greater range.
Come on UK Government......Get with it!
considering our country gets coal from Russia, gas from Norway and uranium from Kazakhstan. how is making something pedal powered into something that is electric powered going to help. you should be a politician lol
@@fredmunro4179 we're about to ditch coal......
Fred Munro There are things called renewables you know
Not going to happen anytime soon unfortunately, government will lose the tax income.
@@DAM89 it's actual govt policy to close all coal fired power stations in the UK by 2025 but we're actually on track to do that sooner.
Finally started building my duel wheel beast. Love commuting on it
And here's me pootling around on my weedy pedal assisted folding e-bike getting a blistering 12mph uphill with three loaded panniers on the back while the 250 watt motor screams away! 😀
Adults riding these powerful eBikes is OK as long as they don't ride on paths or pavements at speed, concerned about kids getting hold of bikes that can go 30 - 40 or more mph that is a recipe for death.
PS. Riding on that high street pavement not OK that is a serious no no get off and push if its a one way and no cycle path, not saying you would hit a child or pram, but the possibility is there.
Yes, I am also especially concerned about kids and adolescents getting their hands on these e-bikes.
These e-bikes are so easy to ride with just an on/off switch and a twist of the throttle to go. Versus a complex traditional motorcycle with clutch, transmission, counter steer, internal combustion maintenance, etc. The average motorcycle's weight is equivalent to a fully loaded industrial fridge between your legs! But even Kirby's fast e-bike might only weigh 120lbs or so and is much more easily handled.
If kids get onto these e-bikes and start racing each other and crashing into people and property then it'll be the end of the "free ride". Law enforcement will start cracking down on them with the writing of new legislation and the increased enforcement of existing laws. It would follow the same path as RC "drones" being banned everywhere.
There ya go! NOT THE CHILDREN!! Oh God save the babies.
why is my freedom threatened by your what if statement?
Rotormatic well some generations ruined stuff for us, cycles repeat.
Nobody cares. Keep your hands to yourself.
the dislikes came from jealous people XD
The ride must be amazing with the wolves howling by your side😍
Badass bike, buddy!!
seriously did ya need to ride the footpath

Stephen, do fuck off. thanks.
-yours truly
maxyakov riding cycles on the pavement plus motorbikes is crazy for pedestrians in BKK plus telegraph pole wires from the ground to the pole is dangerous enough and the low shop shades are great head smashers!! 555555!
And yet you probably still have way more cyclist deaths per capita, pedestrian too. Riding on pavements may be illegal here unless the pavement is shared use BUT 99% of the police won't care as long as you are being careful and slow.
Stephen Wallace bore off
hey man thats not cycling your on a Moped
Ok....... when did he say he was cycling
Andy, gun to your head- if you had to pick between this hub motor enduro frame or the mid drive maxed out speed one you built for overall thrill, which one would it be?
I'm leaning towards building the mid drive you posed bc with a carbon frame lightness and the gears it just seems more fun & practical but I can't decide. For $3,000+ I want to weigh my options & don't want to regret my decision.
Bike looks amazing - want one of these over here in Ireland
Just watch out for the drunk drivers, considering 87% of the Irish population are severe alcoholics..lol
Illegal to drive on roads even though we don’t give a shit !!!!!
Getting caught on one of these is going to be fucking hard. Unless your doing 35+ you can just say you where pedalling haha. That or just hop on a curb and down an alley you go, they can't run that fast. (I don't condone running from cops unless your like 2 minutes from your house :P)
Here it's illegal to drive on sidewalks with bicycles and ebikes.
Stay off the pavements!

Yeah but not here, daft he did it at all!
Waahhhhh!!! Don’t do this don’t do that! Think of the children. What if someone gets injured or worse?
Hi how would you workout speed levels going 25 miles just asking
That's was nice of u to give them a shout and them helping u
Cycling on pavements is not very clever Andy.

Riding safely at a slow speed on not busy pavements is fine
Agree with Jake except that it's more than just "fine". I see it as a SURVIVAL TACTIC. If it comes to me or the pedestrians it's going to be me, although I've never hit a pedestrian, I HAVE BEEN hit by motor vehicles (fortunately, not fatally). To me this is simply COMMON SURVIVAL SENSE out there where many cyclists die yearly being hit by motor vehicles.
This is a relatively high-power motorbike and should follow the rules for any motorbike (internal combustion). The fact that's it has a lightweight, bicycle frame an pedals doesn't change what it, in reality, is.
I somewhat agree, but how many cyclists or motorcyclists can control themselves so as to not put pedestrians at risk?. It's against the law for an unmotorized bicycle to ride (unless posted) on the pavements (aka sidewalks) isn't it?
Would you ride an internal-combustion-powered motorcycle on the pavements if you can't (legally) ride a bicycle there? Then why would you ride a motorized bicycle (a motorbike with a lightweight frame) on the pavements?
I should think that riding any of the three machines on the pavements is generally illegal in England Isn't that so, people? Or is it only London Law?
So no number plates, no insurance, no registration, no accountability , no license ..
IKR
AND dumb enough to post a vid of himself breaking the law on CZcams ... duh.
NICE E-BIKE DUDE AND GOOD VIDEO...
damned , love this bike ♥
Ruin the vid with music!
I like the song.
I watch e-bike videos so I can hear how stealth e-bike actually is. I have to give this video a thumbs down because of the gay sound track that's meant for a prepubescent girls.
+justin uranus your opinion, I intended to include the sound of the bike but the go pro audio was pretty much just wind noise so...
I enjoy hearing Andy's commentary and would much prefer it if he would keep the music track to a minimum, say briefly at the start.
Matt Matt not random music. I make the music for my vlogs, it's part of the presentation. Thanks.
5:10 for a few seconds tho
Gay music much better than generic heterosexual music!
5:20 though 😂😂😂👌
Awesome video anyway mate!
That's got to be in Europe.... nobody else still listens to crappy techno-pop synthesizer dance club crap music.
You should hear the crap coming out of the US
Dude your observations are terrible! If your gonna be pulling unexpected manoeuvres for what looks like a push bike eyes open and good luck👍
yeah because Americans are too busy listening to Bieber and all that other garbage pop shite. GTFO :)
Sick video sick tune sick bike! I want an E bike so bad, just to start a new hobby 👌
dude what is that setup?
how much???? I want
Wow that is seriously fast- how much does it cost?
I lived in Gosfield for 24 years and did the ride from Halstead to Sudbury several times coming back via Hedingham. I'm looking at the Specialized VADO Electric Hybrid Bike at the moment. Not interested in speed, you don't take in all the interesting things on your journey and definately have a higher rate of accidents.Take it easy.
What's your setup for the battery+controller+motor? Make a video of it please!
+Jimmy Khath hey, check my most recent videos on the bike, it's all covered! 30Ah 84V, Adaptto controller, MXUS 5kW motor.
Yeah sick vid do more get on the cycle track and rip it.
I could of watched that all day haha.
I know this comment will get buried in the rest but......
This was the video that started it all off for me mate and I still keep watching it from time to time. Absolutely superb in my opinion and the best video on YT :-)
Hi mate, thanks for that 😁 I feel almost nostalgic about it now even though it was only a couple of years ago! It’s where it all began for me too! Great times!
@@andykirby Half a decade later......... 😁
I have some question. Did you built it. How fast can it go. what is the range of the bike and how much did it cost?
Do you have a build video? How fast does it drive?
lol in ireland its 5 miles to the middle of the city centre in dublin from my house
I need one of these bikes! :D
I keep waiting for the insanely fast part. Maybe I'll watch again at 2x.
Have you ever been 55mph on a push bike??
Nothing insanely fast about this ebike. Yes - its fast in comparison to 250w eu complient bikes or if you never rode an ebike before but a dime a dozen if you visit endless sphere forum. My QS powered stealth did well over 60mph and i wouldnt classify as insanely fast. Enduro ebikes doing over 50mph are very common on ES
@@andykirby Yes in fact i did 60 down a long steep hill but it was scary as hell i nearly shite myself never again though.
Enjoyed watching your ebike ride video. Thanks for sharing.
As a mtbiker who sometimes goes out on the roads I love the way you fly past that road bike 😀😀
Minted mate!
How much did it cost to build?
*NANIII?!*
*A BIKER TRIES TO OVERTAKE ME?*
That's insane but good!
Where do I get one no 2. How much and can it go faster if I needed to pass a pedestrian on the walk way . Love it
This is so badass!
Very nice! Love it!
Cool bike dude
That is a lovely lovely bike.
You tell me where did you buy the rear wing ?
