Vince is hilarious and awesome. He seems much more willing to do the on-camera thing than a year or two ago. That e-bike is SICK! This man and his creations, you gotta love it!
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 The "pots" are the actual pistons which press the brake pad into the rotor. A 6 pot caliper has 3 pistons on each side of the rotor. A normal car brake will be "2 pot" and performance brakes 4, 6, or even 8 pots. For really large brakes you need more pistons (pots) to evenly apply pressure.
@@johnbrooks5903 Yeah that's what I assumed. I've never heard it in that context. Damn are that many pistons necessary? That's what I assume a sports car would have.
Loved this one. Steve next time you get a chance to speak with KP and TiN make a little bio-pic episode. Would love to hear their life stories from early years till now. That would be v interesting I think for a lot of ppl watching the GN channell.
Tip for your friend, for his chain. Skate board wheel on a tensioner above the motor that pulls up on the chain to keep the bottom tight but also has to have its own small swing arm and spring to pull it up toward the seat when the swing arm moves, pulling out slack quickly, but allowing tension quickly without snapping the chain or racking parts off the ground. However no gear shift, though I only saw a single gear, so no problem there. The long travel under seat tensioner is something I use on my heavy haul 250 off road travel bike, I use it for trail rescuing other riders who are mechanically broke down.
I've actually been on a bike that is almost exactly like that one in specs, it was terrifying. Mainly because those brakes are not good for slowing a bike down from those speeds effectively 😁
Try the new dual front caliper Tekro Auriga E-Twins, they are actually designed for high power E-bikes. That makes 3 brake disks and the Regen braking. Should be plenty.
@@gnsteve8846 Quad pistons would help slightly but really need a thicker Disc to help dissipate the immense heat from stoping a bike weighing 3.5x as much as a MTB and going 3x as fast. Those HOPE brakes are probably done after 2-3 full speed stops.
Hey Steve, I hope you do get to own one of these one day. May I request uploads build/maintenance vids on this if you do get to that some day? I'd be hugely interested in seeing your bike experience play into a similar but new e-bike.
First off thanks, from the DIY electrical bike community for the little public service announcement you made! "Plush" is the word you were searching for. Steve, you ride DH???? Awesome. It's an amazing sport. I was going to say, finding larger than 203's is going to be a pain and expensive. 650lbs.. wow! The great thing with full suspension combined with an electrical motor is you get good traction and a bit more stability from that. I am almost done with my dual motor 4000w hardtail. It should be interesting. :D
if we had these in the streets of nyc , we would most likely have tons of accidents. bike messengers have time constraints with the job , and close calls happen everyday . It is really a good idea and something interesting to look into.
Oh man feels good to own a faster ebike than Kingpin xD But just couple of things that are wrong what Kingpin said. First of all the qs205 v3 and the mxus v3 turbo (not sure which one he is using) can both deliver up to 15000w of peak power not 8000 as he said. Secondly if he really would like to make his bike run fast he should use a sabvoton or a kelly controller for more power than that measly 100a (or to get even more power use a asi bac controller). And also 72v battery for top speed is not a good choice. I would prefer atleast 82v or even 96v battery. Third thing the brakes don't matter that much if you use the motor braking, and you save brake pads at the same time. Fourth thing is using that motor without reinforced drop outs is just an accident waiting to happen. But nevertheless it's a clean and nice build :)
BossManaatti brakes don’t matter much? lol....regen is only in the back wheel, you get 70% of your braking on the front wheel....therefore having top quality brakes is imperitive on a heavy, fast bike. Emergency stops are never anticipated....being able to stop is Way more important than going fast!
@@jimhofoss9982 you can program your regen brake to brake very hard. For example I have my regen set to 2500w. In normal riding I rarely use the front brake at all. So if you set up your regen correctly you will not need the to spend tons of money for some hope brakes.
@@SmokeyStoner He said his controller is 100a model. Which would mean about 7500w of peak power with voltage sag considered. He is mostly limited by the controller because I have seen people fitting the quilbix frame with way better batteries and pulling more power than that measly 100a.
quilbix frame is designed from the ground up for ebike hub motors, not sure what you mean by needing reinforced drop outs. Those are for walmart bikes you slap a hub motor onto. 60mph+ @ 72v is plenty of speed for any ebike... not sure why you even mention 100v. I haven't seen anyone running 60+mph ebikes using 24s batteries nowadays, that was a thing of the past maybe 5-10years ago. The future will be mid drives like the Sur Ron.. which im planning to get
Most places treat E-bikes below about 750w/28mph as bicycles (some locations even lower[500w/20mph], some higher[1000w/35mph]), but anything above that as a Moped/motorcycle(plates, licenses, insurance, etc )... ALL require working pedals to qualify as a bicycle. Same as with bicycles with gas motors below 50cc. I recommend a front hub motor and keeping the stock rear gear/chain/pedals setup.
@@davybloggs1564 just don't stop for chats with the police lol quietly go down a narrow lane and jobs a goodun. Remember it's only legal if they can slap taxes on it lol
Ogre1977 front wheel has drawnbacks too, though. I made one, and had the cast front dropouts break under the torque of the motor. over the bars, broken thumb! make sure you have torque suppressors on both sides of the fork, avoid forks with suspension....steel fork the safest if going for front wheel drive. cheers

@@joesterling4299 He took off the chain, since it kept breaking when he bottomed out the suspension. So now it's throttle control only, which is pretty much an electric motorcycle. :)
@@realzyxtomatic Imagine the freewheel at 100kph, they are not designed for that. If that jams, your pedals start going.... I had it happen at low speed, I've stopped running with a chain too for that reason.
Maybe... or it was a poor quality freewheel or had an internal defect. If your bike can go 100km/h why take a chance of that mode of failure? Riding at high speed, my biggest concern is mechanical failure and I try to take all steps to avoid it.
You might also try a class 1 e-MTB. I have a Specialized Turbo Levo, and it's amazing. No throttle, only pedal assist on a Class 1, but great for "shuttling" yourself up the climbs.
Pro Tip: The reason the chain broke is from the tons of torque forcing the suspension to squat HARD lengthening the chain distance requirement combined with the most important variables, long rear travel and the chain being too short with a short cage deraulier. The same will happen on any FS bike if the travel is not accounted for at full swing arm extension with the bike being in the largest cog on the back and largest chain ring in the front, thought, that is a naughty chainline. :D
to k|ngp|n:to have a chain, and dont have it smashed every time you bottom out the rear suspension, you just need a couple of chain guides to have it go up and over the pivot point of your rear triangle(e.g. the Deviate Guide bike ). that will prevent pedal kickback(and yeah, in you case destroing the chain) trough the suspension travel.

A friend of a friend modified his bike to be electrical. He used a really powerful motor (don't know how powerful) on a normal bike that was quite old. It worked for a few months until he was confident enough to give it full throttle. The motor was too powerful to handle it and it ripped the bike apart^^ I would really like to have a bike like this. But unfortunately in my country electric bikes are limited to 25 km/h and the cops are giving out tickets. :(
Wait, what if you went regular bike and drove it faster than that? Last summer I did 55kmph (about 30-35mph) and had to drive in the lane on a highway of sorts to manage that. Was quite fun, albeit, exhausting.
@@YTHandlesWereAMistake That's totally allowed. The law is also a bit more complicated as I made it look like. If your bike only supports your pedaling it can support you up to 25 km/h.

Here you have a max allowed speed of 45 km/h without the motor support. Oh and you aren't allowed to modify or change parts. Or build your own bike. It has to be how the manufacturer sold it to you. Oh an the max power the motor is allowed to have is 500W....
I can't ride flat pedals I have tried on my hardtail enduro bike,but after 20 years of riding clipped in on road bikes,you learn how to spin,and so trying to ride flats I keep pulling up and lose contact with the pedal.LOL :-) it's crazy how muscle memory works,went back to being clipped in.
I'm using a Juiced Bikes Crosscurrent X for daily commute. As far as speed is concerned, in Nevada it's the fastest I could go where I run little to no risk of a cop looking for an easy person to ticket pulling me over for how fast I'm going. I don't need to register or insure the bike, nor do I need insurance. I've seen faster electric bikes on the street with license plates. I am unfamiliar with offroad laws here but I imagine they're lenient, and there are probably plenty of trails that would be really fun to ride.
Pure off the shelf bad assery.i wish I had an extra 3k,to get those components some aluminum plate and some good cabinet grade plywood to build something similar
You think its fast now, wait till TiN gets his hands on that controller and rebuilds it. You know he will at some point. When it comes to power phases TiN is a Wizard!
after owning a stealth Ebike, the only comparison would be the Sur-Ron. OR a FUTR beta frame, thats the updates stealth frame for a DIY build. the NYX carbon frame looks nice but god damn, that things worth the price of a stealth and thats just the NYX frame

65-70mph at 72v 100amps.. Hmmm.. I'd like to see the GPS data logs showing that speed. I'm rocking same setup pretty much cromotor v2 modded but 200amps @ 72/84v and I'm at about 60mph.
You are probably top speed limited by the motor kv, not power (it spins no faster with the wheel in the air). 7200w 65mph is doable with a big tuck, but you are right 115kph/70mph is probably that POS display's miscalibrated wheel size.

Word of Advice, when going so fast you need to get waist strap to keep your kidneys warm. Or you will get organ issues later on. This is a typical long term damage for scooter, motorbike and moped riders.
Also a motorcyclist from a family of motorcyclists and have never heard of this. I know of kidney belts from motorcross as a protection against falls. Cursory Google also didn't yield much. Have sauce for your info?
Ok so I looked it up, with kidney Belt and the is some stuff, it is mostly to prevent your back from being chilled from the Wind so it does Not cramp up. It also is Not proven that kidney failures are come from this, but in my biker community in germany they All wear them. So i Look at Louis.eu and Wikipedia
For legality in the UK (and I think the EU): It can't go over 15.5mph under its own power. If you're pedalling and you go over 15.5mph, the motor MUST NOT be active. If you go down a hill and exceed 15.5 mph, the motor MUST NOT be active. As with all adult-size bicycles, it must be fitted with a front light, and rear reflector, not ridden on public footpaths, and proper head protection must be worn at all times while operating the bike. Now, I've seen plenty of people riding on the pavement without a helmet on, and the police culture is generally to not fuck with people who aren't causing issues for others, but if you blow by someone on the road with a bike like this, or do even a single mph over the speed limit, you're almost guaranteed to get it confiscated. To get around the 15.5mph limit you must: * Have a bike that has the right tires, rear view mirrors, lighting and indication, registration plate, and all other things that motorbikes need; * Undergo MSVA for the vehicle (assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/774206/motorcycle-single-vehicle-approval.pdf); * Be in possession of a UK driving license of the right category, (AM to go up to 28mph, A1 for up to 11kW power output (and not exceeding 0.1kW/kg), A2 for up to 35kW power output (and not exceeding 0.2kW/kg), or A for anything else), probably A1; * Register the vehicle, insure yourself for the vehicle, and tax the vehicle (free for purely electric vehicles at the moment). Essentially, you'll be better off buying a naked bike with a fucked up transmission or engine, gutting it, and replacing the power plant with an electric one. Doing so will get you a fun project, a bike that hits 60 as fast as you dare to let it, and really cheap transport. Mid engine will be your best bet as hub motors for motorbike tires aren't a thing yet. If you're looking to fabricate motorbike hub motors, I want your contact details. Can you tell I'm doing this?
There is a speed limit on e bikes in the UK but you don't need to wear head protection or have lights. I went over 15 mph in a non e bike especially downhill. And you do not need a license or plates for an e bike

Pretty sick, atmo. Regarding the cheaper side of e-bikes, have you considered the Arrow e-bikes? Every time I'm in NYC I see these things positively everywhere. I'm pretty sure they're type-II but some of them were definitely keeping up with traffic leading me to think some of the chinatown ebike shops must mod the controllers. Could also just be the newer models, like the arrow-9 that some people claims goes 30+ mph which is definitely in type-3 range. For 1500 bucks, maybe an option given their ubiquity in Manhattan. See link for a little reading. Not actually sure where you buy them new. endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=89258 tldr: ~$1500 for an arrow-9 ebike that might be type-3 spec, throttle control, manhattan bike delivery syndicate approved and NYPD disapproved.
France just introduced massive fines and even jail sentences for doing this. Those Hope brakes are awesome. But no point using V4s on their ordinary rotors. Whole point of V4s is the double layer rotor, which is wider - so the pistons just come out further than on an e4. Pad contact is the same. My Cotic Flare is "Everything Hope".

Oh and you aren't allowed to modify or change parts. Or build your own bike. It has to be how the manufacturer sold it to you.
Oh an the max power the motor is allowed to have is 500W....
I like that helmet. It looks lightweight but like it would offer some decent protection.
I can't ride flat pedals I have tried on my hardtail enduro bike,but after 20 years of riding clipped in on road bikes,you learn how to spin,and so trying to ride flats I keep pulling up and lose contact with the pedal.LOL :-) it's crazy how muscle memory works,went back to being clipped in.
I had no idea you'd uploaded this vid. I'm a fairly new sub to your main channel.
I hear square wave ;)
Need a longer cage tensioner to deal with all the chain growth from a high pivot frame. Those shorter ones will keep getting ripped off the hanger.
@KingPin
Would you mind to put a parts list in the comments?
I think he won't, since it's business
Can we get a component list? I was looking at a Stealth since I’m in Aus but this seems better 😀
What an awesome bike!
If you have not seen it... Check out the Luna Sur Ron ebike/motorcycle. Super affordable compared to most.
They're tiny. If you're 5' or less maybe it could work for you.
@@offgridphilosophy7959 they are. I'm too big. Forgot to mention.
Just too loud still. Gonna wait for Sur Ron to release the FireFly 2 with a silent belt drive as default.
Man! Now I want one. My heart is pumping so fast! 😂😂😂
Back in the day guys who had middle life crisis bought sport cars, now e-bikes.
I am one of them now 😀. I still have a C63, X5M, Z3, 4Runner, and now an ebike - Super73
I'm using a Juiced Bikes Crosscurrent X for daily commute. As far as speed is concerned, in Nevada it's the fastest I could go where I run little to no risk of a cop looking for an easy person to ticket pulling me over for how fast I'm going. I don't need to register or insure the bike, nor do I need insurance. I've seen faster electric bikes on the street with license plates. I am unfamiliar with offroad laws here but I imagine they're lenient, and there are probably plenty of trails that would be really fun to ride.
What is the name of this bike brand?
Place to buy one?
RisunMotor Exclusive FC-1
That thing is SICK!
Easy peasy- and it works!!
You should check out the suron ebike or one of luna cycles new ebikes.
The APt color display, good one.
Pure off the shelf bad assery.i wish I had an extra 3k,to get those components some aluminum plate and some good cabinet grade plywood to build something similar
I was waiting for that thing to take off through the wall while they kept touching the throttle lol
Bros. Talking bikes! Hell yeah!
great vid ... more of that pls ^^
But how were the thermals?
That is a cool bike if only they were legal here in the UK! good to see, thanks all.
Omg I didn't know Vince was into ebikes... yeaaah boiiii!!! :)))
My dad has a Specialised Turbo Levo, that thing is ridiculously fun.
This Ebike is outrageous!
You think its fast now, wait till TiN gets his hands on that controller and rebuilds it. You know he will at some point. When it comes to power phases TiN is a Wizard!
I've been thinking about building an ebike but they get expensive as hell real quick
after owning a stealth Ebike, the only comparison would be the Sur-Ron. OR a FUTR beta frame, thats the updates stealth frame for a DIY build.
the NYX carbon frame looks nice but god damn, that things worth the price of a stealth and thats just the NYX frame
That is badass, i want one. Would definitely wear some protective gear. Maybe some leather haha.
we need a xoc e-bike challenge
Already got mine shunt modded, and you can over-volt them, especially if you modify the mosfets! Cooling actually can become a problem, the first thing I thought of was LN2!
I love this channel too.
How can i contact this Vince guy? I also live in Taiwan an am looking to build a ebike myself. Cheers for any help
Hey, what size battery are you running? I built a 48 volt 1000 watt bike, now I'm planning a 5000 watt build next! Cool vid!.. oh and these bikes are a blast, I look forward to getting up each day just to ride!
G'day Steve,
That Bike is Crazy, it can break every speed limit on Australian Roads,
I've got those Maxxis HookWorms on my BMX & I love them, they have so much grip
65-70mph at 72v 100amps..
Hmmm.. I'd like to see the GPS data logs showing that speed.
I'm rocking same setup pretty much cromotor v2 modded but 200amps @ 72/84v and I'm at about 60mph.
You are probably top speed limited by the motor kv, not power (it spins no faster with the wheel in the air).
7200w 65mph is doable with a big tuck, but you are right 115kph/70mph is probably that POS display's miscalibrated wheel size.
i got a diy 2000w, 52v 40amp current, also nice :D on my mountainbike.
I've been 60 miles an hour once on a regular road bike, down Highway 9. Once.
Where did you get the battery controller and motor my dude 🙏🏻🙏🏻
re chains, for single speed setup, the final step, simply upsize the rear cog, eg by one tooth
got the double barrel on my foes hydro. i dig
I've got the same bike as you, could you tell me what a few of your settings are so I can get my bike right
System
Auto assist ?
The option for pedal throttle or both option disappeared I'd like to get that back on my display.
Advanced settings
I'd like to know what all the settings are?
Any help would be appreciated
Also under information my bike is running
Hardware version 3.0
Software version 2.0
HOLY SHIT I NEED 1 OF THESE!
That seat looks like it is great for the prostate.
where do i find this bicycle frame?
E-bikes are such a gamechanger!
Would like to see you do some videos with actual ebikes rather than this death machine.
Tins bike looks cool :D
the e-bike is ridiculous XD
i have the same bike same spec as well and its a blast to ride.
john dalton hey what’s the name of it?
@@marlon7806 it's a China no name, go on Alibaba and you will find it. My friend just bought one and its inbound on the boat.80 amp battery 3000 watt motor $2400
Can we get more details about parts and suppliers please? Love that bike
What kickstand is that and any link? Awesome video guys.
Didn't mention how much it all cost, I've been sourcing all the parts needed and I reckon I could build one for around £2000 or there abouts which is really cheap considering they start at around £7000 ready built
What are they torqueing about?
So how much would it cost for a bike equitant to yours ?
Word of Advice,
when going so fast you need to get waist strap to keep your kidneys warm.
Or you will get organ issues later on.
This is a typical long term damage for scooter, motorbike and moped riders.
Never heard of that and am a motorbike rider.
@@wobblysauce Well then, better Look into it! In Germany everyone wears them
Hum... might be more of a fashion thing... oh what are you wearing? but trace it back to someone with back pain.
Also a motorcyclist from a family of motorcyclists and have never heard of this. I know of kidney belts from motorcross as a protection against falls. Cursory Google also didn't yield much. Have sauce for your info?
Ok so I looked it up, with kidney Belt and the is some stuff, it is mostly to prevent your back from being chilled from the Wind so it does Not cramp up. It also is Not proven that kidney failures are come from this, but in my biker community in germany they All wear them.
So i Look at Louis.eu and Wikipedia
sooo how much is this bike
I wish I could find a frame like that that would take a mid drive motor.
That frame has been converted for a mid drive in the past. Check Endless Sphere
What e-bike frame is it?
So where can I buy the parts/kit?
look in to Sur Ron ebikes best price/ preformance.
Vector if your in the EU for this sort of hub motor setup, or luna if your in the US
Or Cyklon, they're also Ukrainian, like Vector / Eleek.
For legality in the UK (and I think the EU):
It can't go over 15.5mph under its own power. If you're pedalling and you go over 15.5mph, the motor MUST NOT be active. If you go down a hill and exceed 15.5 mph, the motor MUST NOT be active.
As with all adult-size bicycles, it must be fitted with a front light, and rear reflector, not ridden on public footpaths, and proper head protection must be worn at all times while operating the bike.
Now, I've seen plenty of people riding on the pavement without a helmet on, and the police culture is generally to not fuck with people who aren't causing issues for others, but if you blow by someone on the road with a bike like this, or do even a single mph over the speed limit, you're almost guaranteed to get it confiscated.
To get around the 15.5mph limit you must:
* Have a bike that has the right tires, rear view mirrors, lighting and indication, registration plate, and all other things that motorbikes need;
* Undergo MSVA for the vehicle (assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/774206/motorcycle-single-vehicle-approval.pdf);
* Be in possession of a UK driving license of the right category, (AM to go up to 28mph, A1 for up to 11kW power output (and not exceeding 0.1kW/kg), A2 for up to 35kW power output (and not exceeding 0.2kW/kg), or A for anything else), probably A1;
* Register the vehicle, insure yourself for the vehicle, and tax the vehicle (free for purely electric vehicles at the moment).
Essentially, you'll be better off buying a naked bike with a fucked up transmission or engine, gutting it, and replacing the power plant with an electric one. Doing so will get you a fun project, a bike that hits 60 as fast as you dare to let it, and really cheap transport. Mid engine will be your best bet as hub motors for motorbike tires aren't a thing yet.
If you're looking to fabricate motorbike hub motors, I want your contact details. Can you tell I'm doing this?
been past police many times on my bike never an issue
There is a speed limit on e bikes in the UK but you don't need to wear head protection or have lights. I went over 15 mph in a non e bike especially downhill. And you do not need a license or plates for an e bike
@@girlsdrinkfeck So have I. My friends have also smoked weed around police, and my ex manager used to hold illegal raves and the police just occasionally politely asked him to shut it down.
Doesn't mean it's not against the law.
@@petergoodman7805 Actually you do.
www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/uploads/3/2/9/2/3292309/the-official-highway-code-with-annexes-uk-en-12-04.pdf
"59. Clothing [...] you should wear [...] a cycle helmet"
"60. At night your cycle MUST have white front and red rear lights lit. ItMUST also be fitted with a red rear reflector (and amber pedal reflectors, if manufactured after 1/10/85). "
Bikes don't have a speed limit, but at over 15.5mph, the motor MUST NOT be providing power.
www.gov.uk/electric-bike-rules
"Its electric motor [...] should not be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15.5mph"
How much is this bike and where did you buy it
Super light motorcycle/bike so close to the vision

What's the range?
Pretty sick, atmo. Regarding the cheaper side of e-bikes, have you considered the Arrow e-bikes? Every time I'm in NYC I see these things positively everywhere. I'm pretty sure they're type-II but some of them were definitely keeping up with traffic leading me to think some of the chinatown ebike shops must mod the controllers. Could also just be the newer models, like the arrow-9 that some people claims goes 30+ mph which is definitely in type-3 range. For 1500 bucks, maybe an option given their ubiquity in Manhattan. See link for a little reading. Not actually sure where you buy them new. endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=89258
tldr: ~$1500 for an arrow-9 ebike that might be type-3 spec, throttle control, manhattan bike delivery syndicate approved and NYPD disapproved.
France just introduced massive fines and even jail sentences for doing this. Those Hope brakes are awesome. But no point using V4s on their ordinary rotors. Whole point of V4s is the double layer rotor, which is wider - so the pistons just come out further than on an e4. Pad contact is the same.
My Cotic Flare is "Everything Hope".
What is the range please
