even cheaper if you have an old bike in the shed not getting used .
Very true sir, you don’t have to spend loads to get started and once u go electric u never go back to analog 😁 good day to u buddy 👍
💯
I have an old Gary Fisher MTB that I have been wanting to convert into a cruiser. This might be the thing.
You cant really go wrong for the price. Great budget build certainly get about quicker than a standard push bike.
Disk brakes is a must though. In a year you'll wear down the rims and will need to buy a new wheel
Best way to secure a raw battery is with a bicycle inner tube split and rap around order tension
Imagine if you had a bike already lying around or brought one second hand be even cheaper! 😁
Great video
I’m still impressed my bafang 750w mid drive is still running flawless after 5 years without any maintenance. I also have a whyte e160 running bosh 250 watt to get exercise. I use the bafang more in summer to cruise around. I would love the defang frame with 1000w bafang at some point when funds allow it. Electric bikes are the best invention of today. Love watching your vids buddy don’t always comment but always watch 😁👍
I've got the bafang 750w mid drive to which I've had for 4 years and like you not had any problems I've done nearly 10 thousand miles on it 😊 happy dayz 👍🚴♂️
@@petey9338 wow 10k miles that’s amazing 😁 I have lots of peddling to catch u up sir 😁👍
Yo mr oldskool dj whah'gwan. Wna see you build a 5k watt raleigh chopper
Love to watch you build, a tricycle sort of ebike on the channel!
I just did the same with a cheap old 20'' wheel Argos assist folder. 1000w has massive torque with small wheels!
Great video pal, very helpful
i built my first ebike for 500 quid its a beast .second hand voodoo canzoo with rockshox sektor front and rockshox rear suspension 250 quidand a barely used48v 1500w kit and battery for 250.its saved me a fortune in taxi fares over the last 2 years and i could sell it for 500 easily .its been super reliable hitsover 35mph closer to 40mph on a full charge .absolute bargain smooth comfortable ride .
since then ive bought several more inc a commencal supreme downhill bike with bbshd marzochi 888 suspension and titanium shock on rear for 250 .
It's like my build, 1500w48v 52v20ah and it's sooo much fun, tops out at 39 mph, great range of 50 miles from a full charge and with lights & suspension seat-post it cost me about £600..
I love it, best thing I ever did was build my own E-bike, respect!
👍
Nice I went all out got 13kw 71mph top end on me mtb lol been daily used for around 3 years
@@jaykavcher7472 13KW!! Jesus, you don't phuck about do you?!!
I bet that's fun!!! 🤣👍👍👍
@MickyBee73 yeah is fun as. 72 battery and a 150amp controller and your off 😆
@@jaykavcher7472 I'll bet it is, I wish (really do!!) I had the Dosh to build one, I've often wondered if I could eventually save up (hardly likely as I'm useless) 🤣 and maybe stick a 72v on mine with a bigger controller - although it would probably melt my 1500w Voilamart motor, unless I put heat-sinks and used that (is it?) ferro fluid stuff you put in the hub to draw out heat? But I guess I'd most likely have to up the wattage of the hub - I got a bleeding Sabvoton 7245m controller, bought a Bluetooth device and loaded the app to my phone but when I put it on my kit I couldn't get the app to work and when I turned the throttle the darn chain turned as it was locking the freewheel cassette, which really pissed me off as the controller was £180 and the Bluetooth dongle was £40 - waste of money it seemed...but damn it, it seemed a lot more powerful..
But the shunted 35a controller is actually quite fun really, I guess I'm doing ok for 1500w really 👍
Top vid love budget build stuff keep it up sir 😎👍👍
That’s a great way of keeping fat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome, love this content bro 👊
cool vid pal , TBH i'd just get the 1000w kirby kit and second hand bike for about the same total amount instead far better.
Well done! Great video!! Finally some budget builds.. This is excatly what I've been waiting for!! I want a ebike so bad but just not prepared to pay the huge amount that they go for..
The only thing would of been nice is to see what roughly the distance on a full battery would of been.
I built something similar and it is the best bang for buck toy i have ever owned....cheers
What app do you use for the speedometer? Great video btw.
Nice build Steve.
Any recommendations in the south east for the best place to buy a used car, any reliable car auctions about ?
Very useful, i got the same kit did you fit a torque arm?
Quality love it 👍🏻
That's class, next time I'd love to see you use it to work for deliveroo for a night and see if you can poach jobs from experienced deliveroo regulars on more expensive ebikes and scooters. That ebike would probably be grand as long as you charge it in the shed. If you're riding it and the battery starts smoking, point it away from people and jump off! Have you seen an ebike fire in real life?
That is a pretty good bike for the price it could certainly shift.
Not bad , I wanted to buld an e-bike but a gas 2-cycle engine kit was CAD $160 for everything, so I went that route.
also at the time of purchase, a lot of bikes were catching on fire while riding or charging.
What I wasn't expecting was that the cost of gas and oil is catching me up to e-bike prices in the long run.
E-bikes can ride pretty much anywhere but the gas bike has a lot of restrictions.
Gutted mate! I waited 7 months to receive my nireeka mega and paid 3.7 grand and it just about gets to 32 mph!
It looks the business but don't fall for nireekas lies it's not great and you can do a whole lot better for that kind of dough 😢.
Nice vid 😊
Great budget build
Would you mind testing the PVY Z20 PLUS? We would like to cooperate with you.🤝
The wheel that came with my cheap ebike kit was the weakest part. I'm constantly tightening and adjusting the spokes. The paint is all peeling off too. The actual motor and controller have been good. (I did spend a bit more on a branded battery though)
Do you have much experience with the sabvton controllers?
I would love to see a 26" fat tyre peddle bike conversion at some point.. love the vids .. peace
There's loads of vids with fatbike conversions & you can get the fatbike rim/wheel as well. Some cool low rider stuff too.
Great video,you would have been better off buying a used Carrera Kraken or any carrera bike ,they have very strong frames for the money and disc brakes and front suspension,still good cheap ebike
try and shunt mod the controller and see what she can do
My friend has Duotts C29 and at 35mph it's hard to stop with mechanical disc brakes, correct me if I'm wrong, your budget build doesn't have any disc and you seem to stop that bike quite well, I'm confused, not unless the brakes on the C29 need adjusting? Thanks
See it is limited to 32 mph same on my one you can feel it limit have any idea how to full unlimit it great video 👍
What kind of speed can you get out of a 1500w motor
It might be registering 54volts....but the amp hours are where the measurement should be.
For that price it won't be 12ah. I'd be surprised if it holds 8.
And the AliExpress comment is a bit off. Same sellers on Amazon and Ebay!
Im trying to convert a jesse jame west coast bicycle. I have an idpoo z8 which is great...but it is heavy and so am i (116 kgs), if i dont peddle up a severe hill it cuts the throttle off to avoid shorting out.
My worry is, the jesse james is built like a bmx so peddling up a hill to assist isn't really an option. My Idpoo z8 has a 500w, will a 1000w be suitable for hill climbs with throttle only ?
2000 watt kit better look at my chopper videos it's 8ft steel framed bike
Nice 💯 build your dreams(don't drive a Shabba SUV)
What happened to the Bike Boat ? Just a heads up the propeller is always on the rear of a boat not the front which you had on your bike :)
1000w guys afcourse will hit 30mph which is serious speed with bicycle 😊. For those who looking for cheap option bike, you can buy Cross brand from argos with mechanical brake discs and front zoom shock for similar price was in 2022 when i make one of my builds. Also 350w 27.5 Yose Power kit with 36v battery with integrated controller. Keep the bike clean budget up to 600£. But you've 27.5 inch, front shock , brake discs, display, level assistant, throttle, decent 13ah battery , clean looking bike. Speed from 22 to 25mph
Nice one
That battery looks sketchy af.. definitely gonna catch on fire someday
Cool video though!
What's it like up hill
I’d like to see you so one of your honest reviews the new 2024 EBOX Dragster 2.0.. Sub £1400 mini bike😊
"OK"Battery: Has bad reviews for example here on CZcams. "Cheap Chinese cells, fake capacities", they say. Please do update after some months/weeks.
I was wondering if it were possible to build
a 50 mph bike (same set-up as you did here)
for less than £1000?
Hell no. A decent battery with a large AH capacity will cost that much alone. Maybe double that amount and you won't be far off.
50mph with a range of 50miles under £800 ????? NEXT BUILD ??????
Good joke deliveroo standard and sandwich the battery into the frame. Great build for 500 pounds. I got a simillar bike second hand for £50 20 years ago still going strong.
What's the range of the bike ?
You should've bought a second hand bike. For the price u paid for that china bike, you could've gotten a nice disc brake and suspension bike
Those batteries last five minutes. They knock them up on the kitchen table in a jig with old cells. Seen it done. You want to be using power tool batteries on adaptors for the best bang for the buck.👍
15 mph woop woop as always
Of course purely cgi skills 😂
To be fair for how much the decent electric wheels are they should come with tyres on to.. Not a bad little wheel that just don't look as se*y as a more expensive one
See what you could do price wise with 500 watt and 750 watt.
Have old bike can try electric moto
I got my kit from eBay and the bicycle from Amazon
No mention of a battery charger , to re-charge your battery…..
Battery charger came with the battery. I thought I mentioned I had to buy a uk style plug for the charger for £2 in the video.
Can you do full throttle and peddle on the highest gear, safely of course 😂
yeah provided you have big enough gears eg 48t upfront
I can pedal mine up to 36mph by having a 56T Chainring on the front. That is about the bikes maximum top speed so it's perfect for me. I don't even have a throttle anymore.
👍👍👍👍

There is no way I would build that for the simple reason I wouldn't want a fully rigid bike going 30mph+ with bad possibly a bad road deck or conditions, and v-brakes. I think the built is excellent, but for double the amount you spend on the bike you should be able to get a 'real' bike with some budget hydraulic brakes ( Zoom or Tektro or something ), a Suntour coil fork and a frame built to a standard it can cope with some impacts reliably.
Cyclesuk has an Orbea Onna 50 for ~500 quid, wouldn't be my first choice but UK prices seem to be quite harsh and amazoncouk's selection was meager to say the least ( or was that because it only showed shipping to continental Europe not sure ).
Even for a budget build, I would put a large part of the budget towards the things I rely on for safety; frame, suspension, brakes, tires. I know it's a big gap from 150 to 500, but you can always go for a proper second hand bike with some hours on it but with decent reliable components. Saving on a budget motor, battery and controller within reason as I don't want another 'to cheap to be true 48v 20Ah battery from Ali like I got once before, makes a lot more sense.
I would probably have looked into using that battery bag anyway, even if you ziptied and duct taped it onto the frame with bag and all. Just because I think it will add some more weather protection ( against moisture ingress, I don't know how well your ducttape job is ). Maybe throw in some of those crystal moisture eaters bags you often get for free with random items you buy , especially if you don't plan on taking it off anytime soon it probably does add some more protection by absorbing moisture which leaks into the battery 'encasement',
Ow I know btw that even those packs should have weatherproofing with foil layers, I just never trust them. Better safe then sorry, maybe I'm getting old.
It's an excellent bike / build for the absolute minimum, and if you ever get stopped by the coppers you can always say you had really no idea you were going anything over 15... you never know
Now for this pricepoint, I do wonder if the price difference between a '1000W' kit and a 500W kit from a 'known brand' would compare. I have zero trust in Ali wattage ratings, unless known product and known seller with good reputation. I mean if you go absolute budget for the bike, how would it do with a real budget motor ( but still not a Karen approved one ).
I think that Orbea I mentioned above would be considered a really good base for a 'higher budget / mid level build', depending what you pair it with. The frame has mounting options and the triangle doesn't look to restrictive, comes standard with a 1x drivetrain, budget Suntour 100mm coil fork with lockout, budget Shimano mt200 hydraulic brakes and decent kenda tires.
More budget -> cheap rear hub drive, can't go wrong.
More 'interesting' -> mid level mid drive, preferably with ( additional ) torque sensor
Also more interesting -> moar powah rear hub and as much battery and controller you can cram in the triangle ( + maybe controller behind the seat stay or under the downtube for more airflow ).
Also maybe even interesting due to personal preference-> Orbea with BBSHD fully decked 52v battery capable of delivering the 30A the controller can be set to. Preferably with a 15s pack undercharged each cell to 4.1 so 61.5v. That's 0.5V below the controller's 62v HVC, and will give you a much more stable voltage curve through your ride compared with a 14s charged to max capacity. That's a little over 30x60~1800W with a fully topped battery. I would probably upgrade those mt200's at that point though, they are fine for me but I've only got 750w.
Sound works fine dude
That's sick
Dude I’d love to see you do a bafang mid drive build . I know it’s probably complicated as fu** but I’m planning it soon and watched al your videos before i build the 2kw Specialized rockhopper lol ITS AMAZING ! , I’m now looking into the 750watt bbs02 for about £300 and a yose power battery 48v 13ah seen them for under 200 .. pretty cheap compared to couple years ago
boring bafang, this is nicer i think and the one from kirbebike
Bafang needs an, expensive bike or chain and gear teeth snap off direct drive is superior
