One of the most informative videos on Ebikes. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I live in a very hilly area on pavement , this is helpful, no one covered the damn steep hills.😭
Glad it helped!
Same where I live.
How long have you been riding?
@@sixthreezero For Many years but the hills were at 30-degree angles and very steep, even walking up to them the thighs protest😂 . Converted my old mountain bike but it's not made for that so I'm going to sell it in favour of a purpose-built ebike.
Oh, I see. Have fun riding! :)
I own the Specialized Creo SL Comp Carbon. It's a programmable electric assist bike without a throttle and without any resistance when not peddling or when the motor isn't assisting. With its weight at around 28 lbs. and its geometry its feel and response is amazing. Without the Range Extender (an extra battery that looks like a water bottle) I have no trouble going 45-50 miles with a 1800 foot elevation gain (I'm 200 lbs). The Range Extender adds another 25 mile range. I mix Eco and Sport (for the hills).
Thanks a lot for this video man. Actually very tricky to find videos on this topic on CZcams.
Helpful.
I’m still stuck on weather 250w will be enough for me haha
Glad it helped!
Thanks, I've been baffled by which type to get. This has given me something to go on. My town is in a dormant volcano, very steep.
Glad we could help!
Informative video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. :)
2500 watts (BBSHD 1000 watts , 52 volts and 21 amp hour) with a 5 speed IGH does the trick... the Bafang BBSHD or the 620 Ultra Mid-drive work great. Using the gates belt drive eliminates the lag you will find with the chain drive. 21 AH at 52 volts eliminates range anxiety. Good video, thank you!
Thank you!
Very helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
500 watt not enough bogs down and have to pedal on very steep inclines goes from 20kph to 2. Huge decrease with no pedalling goes backwards when the motor stalls
I wish Id seen this video earlier. Im looking for a folding e bike. For as close to £1000 GBP as poss. I live in Wales, there are hills everywhere. I live in the city, but up a hill, my area is even called Townhill, the road most people use to get hear is called Mount Pleasant Hill...so you get the gist, hills are a big factor for me. Ive learned so much, I really feel so much more confident about selecting a bike :)
Thanks, Veil! Feel free to visit our website here: www.sixthreezero.com. Thanks for watching! :)
I like the Bigger High Watts Batteries for a Ebike, because with a High Watt Battery, you can Travel to far away places for real, my Brothers and Sisters.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. How long have you been riding? :)
@@sixthreezero for 38 years, my Friend 😊
Wow! That's impressive! Have fun riding! :)
Great vid!!
1000w and biggest bat. and you're ready for anything, yes?
Yes and yes!
I weigh 240 pounds and I have a 250w, 7 speed pedal assist folding bike. I can't go up a hill in any case. Anything over 10 degrees angle and more than 50-70m length is a no, even with aggressive peddling.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)
Ok, informative content.
Ironically, most on youtube video of electric bike world is very seldom the topic about uphill test, stupid ebike builder is only test their DIY damn ebike on the flat/ level road, never they try on the hill.
Also ironically very seldom they make the topic about self charging ebike with portable generator, i think most of them is only use market ebike with REGEN hub motor & controller ( regenerative brake only = not constant continues charging). So i plan to build my prototype DIY ebike with unlimited range with no charging, no fuel. I always been thinking and design of building my prototype ebike with range extender generator ( 1. pedal generator, and also 2. Gasoline 25cc 2 stroke 3 hp lightweight 1 kg RC engine : to drive dc dynamo 2 kw generator )
Sounds interesting! We'd love to see your progress on this once you started this project. =)
Thanks very informative video cheers 🇬🇧
I live in San Francisco, I need turbo assist!
That makes sense! ^_^
This is very helpful. I have to do lots of tough hills in order to ride anywhere, which is why in my mid 60s, I am not cycling much. So HILLS are my need. However, I DO want to pedal. I want to be able to ride without any pedal assist on the flats. Also I'd like to be able to lift / manage the bike with so ease. So, I think I want 500 watt mid drive, correct. I don't think I need the throttle, although that might automatically come with this? Do you send you bikes to local stores?
Great to hear! 500w is a good choice! Yes, we can also send it to a local store. Just provide the address upon your order. Thanks for watching! :)
It's not the number of cogs on your cassette that matters; it's the size of your largest cog and the size of your chainring that matter.
i weigh 250 and my 1000 wt motor shoots me up the bike bridge.
Rcently I bought a idotata from ebay with taxes claiming to be able to climb a 30% grade. The ad said 500 watt, 12.8 AH, 36 volt battery, claims to be able to go 30 km with pedaling. I found it performed no better than my old bike with the amazon 250 watt conversion kit with 24 volt 13 AH battery while climbing North Taylor hill in BC Canada on a 6% grade. Both bikes will not move up the hill on their own without pedaling. After pedaling 20 km on level 3 mode my battery was dead by the time I returned home from this ride. I also had a pedal that was feeling weird and noticed pedal sitting at angle and threads in right crank arm chewed out. I have reason to believe this Chinese ebike is over rated in ad, may only be a 250 watt motor being advertised as a 500 watt and the 12.8 AH battery seems to be over rated as well, likely a 8AH battery at best. On a positive note this bike will move me along at 32kmh max but only after unlocking speed control which was set at 21 kmh. This bike is a 21 speed which seems to be very necessary with all the over rated electrics. The bike cost me $1005 cdn with all taxes and free shipping. I was almost satisfied until I seen how poorly bike performed climbing a hill. I just wanted to share my experience with buying off internet that some things aren't what they claim, so beware.
Me 200 lbs . Lago Vista Airport huge hill climb . Texas hill country and thanks
Thank you!
MINES 1500W MID DRIVE ! 52.4 VOLT BATTERY RUNNING ON 48 !
Sounds awesome!! What ebike is that?
impossible
With the mountainous hills, how would a dual hub motor bike go full blast? Say 2 x 1500 watt motors?
We do not know the answer to that, but I do wonder...
I am in an area with around 30% to 40% incline( how to calculate it other than eyeballing?) It looks 30 degree to 40 degree. Its just a small climb around 600 m or so and I only want to use the bike for this purpose. I only have access to 250 watt bikes, or scooters that dont have pedal( perk is I can fold them up and charge them somewhere in office).
But I fear scooters will fail to climb.
Will 250 watt be okay? I dont mind pedalling a bit or even strain a bit, as it is such a small distance. I am 90KGs and I will have a 10 kg or so backpack with me.(can be lighter). Please help.
250w would be fine. Though if you ever get a chance to upgrade to 500w, would even be better =)
Great video - so I am 134lbs, but I have a 2 mile mild hill (20 degrees) and a short 1/2 mile 45 degree hill. What bike (not features, but brand and model) would you recommend? I don’t want to spend too much (since I had bike stolen in the past) My commute is about 6 miles each way( uphills on the way to the train station - on local public roads).
I assume we are looking at mid-drive with 500W? I would like to have the option to easily remove the battery. If foldable is possible and easy to place in the train ride (even better, I could avoid stealing). I need to carry it 2 stories up while trying to catch and switch trains)
Do you think something like the Gocycle could do? It is not a mid-drive, and only has 3 speeds
I would check out our Reach Your Destination. The thinner tires will do well on the hill and it is perfect for that distance.
In Europe the law just allow you to have a 250W motor, I live in a place with lots of hills and my weight is 200 pounds.
I will travel 8 km from home to work with 250m elevation gain and come back
is it ok for me to buy an e-bike?
If a 250w could carry me on that I will definitely buy one
Our Electric bike can surely do this. If this is not a sixthreezero bike, you may want to check with the manufacturer first to make sure as it depends on the capacity of the ebike.
I’m looking into an affordable e bike to go up a lot of paved 4-15 degree hills. I can pedal on flat and downhills. I am 5’ 9”, weigh 160 LBs. male
Hi Nate! You can check our ebike collection here: www.sixthreezero.com/collections/mens-electric-bikes. We'd also be glad to make recommendations. If you have three minutes we have a proprietary algorithm to find the right bike for you. Simply go to our website www.sixthreezero.com/pages/get-fitted, and fill out and answer the questionnaires we prepared.
At the end of the assessment, it will give you a bike recommendation that fits your preference that fits your lifestyle and your riding style.
Sir if we have to go on long distance 2km how much watt cycle we need for hilly Area
You must be able to go on from 18mph to 25mph. But it depends on how much effort you exert on your riding. Hope this helps!
Can i add a front electric wheel to my rear assist e bike?
We cannot recommend it, at least on our bikes as we our bikes are not made to take an extra motor and be able to control it. But if you do have another brand of bike, you may want to check with the manufacturer and see if the's possible.
Keep in mind the range of your bike. You don’t want to travel to far and run out of juice. because you will be struggling to make it back. Climbing hills WILL drastically reduce your range. If your bike is rated at 75 miles per charge and you take on a hilly ride it can be reduced to say 15-20 mile range before having to recharge. Don’t get stuck.
is a 250 watt bike good enough for a 3- minute 20 degree slope using pedal assit ?
Depends on the riders weight. Below 200lb rider it should be ok.
ok, so normal tires or ebikes with fat tires for 31 degrees climb?
Let me help you with this. Kindly send an email to theteam@sixthreezero.com. Thank you.
Wow awesome How much in 750 Wats???
Our Electric bikes come in 250w and 500w. You may check them here www.sixthreezero.com/collections/electric-bikes
I just say 225 lbs or less, go 500 watts, 225-300, go 750 watts.....
Thanks for sharing!
How does motor wattage relate to a Nm rating that some manufacturers use?
Hello, although we do not have the exact information about it, we believe it has something to do with the battery's capability t reach 1000W and a life of 500 charge cycles.
Newton meters is another unit for torque.
100 Newton meters = 100 Watt seconds
Thanks for sharing this! Very helpful. :)
This was really helpful, I wish I could get a middrive, but I need a folding bike and almost all of them are rear drive. At least I can get 500W Aventon.
The 750W RadPower bike is also nice, but missing some other features I like
Glad it helps! As of now, we don't have foldable bikes. Anyway, thanks for the feedback! :)
250 W and the term hill do not go together, slopes yes but not hills which are defines as having an elevation above 200 m. I live on such a hill on a Mediterranean island and the roads leading to our village have slopes that vary from a minimum of 27% to 40% and you need a 1000W + mid drive working through a good set of rear cogs and low tooth number crank (28 - 32) to get up them without being very fit. But here we are limited to 250 W so our e bikes are fitted with walking seep setting so you can run after your bike up hills. On our island most of the villages and capital are on similar hills so going from one to another requires a lot of battery power or strong legs. It is not just the watts that matter but the type of motor, whether is is axial or radial where one gives speed and the other torque though some motors combine both.
Hi Peter! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
Nothing about mid drives and gears... direct relationship to hills.
5:30... he did mention
You need something like onyx electric motorbikes for hills 72V 23AH Removable Li-ion 18650 around 3000w. It can do miles
Jeepers could you possibly go more slowly
Thanks for watching. We appreciate your feedback.
