This would be nice

Whaaat? You totally missed it, probably because of all that nail biting bike sorcery he was able to capture. I haven't seen trail thrashing that rad since Joey Moskowitz lost a wheel mid-flight on his candy apple red BMX while jumping hills at the ore-cuts in Junior High. Shit made the Wichita paper. I had to use my journey t shirt to stop the arterial bleeding from where his upper thigh was penetrated all the way through by one of the forks bending backward upon landing! But that pales in comparison to this video. I felt the instructions were clear and concise, and the editing was studio worthy, as was the costume changes. The parts I found exciting were the points on chain dynamics, gear box to helmet ratio, and steady state theory. What do you want him to do, tell you how to install it??? C'mon!! As far as I'm concerned, my next stop will be swagging my beast out with rad gear....saddle bags , more decals, then the next stop will be BIKE WEEK, WOOT!! Daytona WOOT, WOOT...BEACH ....WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!

@@SmokestackLightning3.14 Can I have some of what you're smoking?

@@ravenrock541

The thing about center motors is that they wear out chains sprockets and bearing and rims fast . And the battery's don't last as long as they say which are very expensive !

He had to if he didnt want to get run over by the lunatic on the ebike.

I don’t know how he recorded that honestly

He may have been using a standard bike.

It looked like a green screen lol

That’s my Wife running backwards while filming, she rocks

Nice

Hey there! I just stumbled upon a new project called the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike and it sounds incredible! Not only does it offer a smooth riding experience, but it also has some outstanding features. One feature that caught my attention is the indoor recharge capability, allowing you to charge the bike while using it indoors. That's a game-changer for those rainy or snowy days when you can't go outside. Plus, with its 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires, it seems like it can handle any terrain with ease. Can't wait to try it out myself! Keep up the great work, freebeat!

@@StellaHulliet That's some serious culinary fusion

When you add the price of battery and display in there, you're starting to approach the price of a pre-built ebike. Kits seem like a good option if you already have a decent bike frame on hand, though. I wonder if it's practical to DIY a battery pack out of 18650's or another lithium-ion cell to the same specs as the factory battery pack--that'd bring the cost of these kits down dramatically.

1650$…too expensive..you lucky you made money out of your friend..💰💰💰you can buy under 1k for better bike..

I also use Ego 56v batteries on my Bafang BBS02 ebike. In addition, I use Greenworks 60v batteries (5aH) but you have to be careful as the system will shutdown for over voltage protection (Error code 07) when anything over 60v is detected. I have over 1200 miles on the ebike as of Dec. 2022 and it still runs like new. Drivetrain is 3-speed Nexus IGH. Actually, you can do fine with just a single speed sprocket. I wouldn't think you'd ever need more that 5 speeds if you're using an ebike.

@@nathangant7636 Thanks for the info. But the system voltage is 48 v and i guess it is ok to use 56 v battery. do you use just one battery?

You didn't have to reprogram the 48V Bafang motor & controller to run on a 56V battery? How did you connect wires to the EVO battery's terminals ? and was splicing needed to connect those wires into the Bafang motor wires ? With 5 Amps what was your range ? Thanks

Ive had no problem going to 56V I read somewhere that the speed controller is fine with it . Its the AMPs that will blow the controller. I set my max amps to 20 amps with the programmer, i forget but 28amps is actual MAX. so 56x20=1120watts. I have it geared with a 38 tooth Lekki on the front for so many reasons. I 3dprinted a battery holder with aluminum contacts that looks very close to what the EGO charger looks like. You could repurpose an extra charger if you dont have a 3dprinter.

What do you mean frame bag

How much was it?

@@lennypen1978 Frame bags, they're little triangular shaped bags that go on the inside of the frame. Usually for storing things. But I;m guessing he's cut a hole out of the bottom of his and stuck it on to hide the battery. Just google bike frame bag, there shouldn't be any shortage of results it's what they're actually called.

@@benpar8120 Range from like 250 to a grand. I'd say most of the ones under 5-600 aren't really worth it. Will be quite a low wattage AKA reduction in power top speed and acceleration and weight capacity. If you do bump tracks, down hil or anything really that requires a bit of a drop in you need to be careful as these things are going to stick right out

@@user-ic3kt1eq1p correct

Got an update? I'm looking into getting one.

So you never padel?

I built so many kits and even switched out kits from one bike to another four or five times so I started using Velcro to hold batteries on any kind of frame and is easy to install and un install. And I have never had a battery come lose or come off. plus no rattle! I buy battery bricks and armor them myself and install a power switch to conversion kit to keep the battery from popping when plugging it to the kit.

Dal Venable could be an idea as the standard method of bolting it onto the water bottle mount has only two bolts, which on an aluminium frame definitely isn't enough.

i seen also a video where they put a velcrostrap around the frame and battery to make sure the battery stays put, i bet u could fit some little pieces of an innertube, to absorb the shocks while driving...:)

@@nudgeA7 Actually I armor my battery then add the stick on 3M Velcro to both the frame and the battery, then add Velcro straps. It becomes part of the bike won't move or rattle. And I can hang a battery pretty much anywhere on the bike that is out of my way.

How much did you pay for the entire kit with all the modifications?

I had my friend installed 2 of the 48v 750w on both of my Trek bikes and it was the best thing I have ever had done 3 years ago and still no issues or problems with this setup... two thumbs up 👍 👍

@@martintammo72 can I ask which trek bikes you had? I have a brand new trek I’d like to convert to an EBike but I have no clue where to start.

I kind of like this one where you have to replace the whole crank plus my three front gears on my mountain bike are useless cuz they don't switch out of the second gear

Same question. I have a Trek 4900 mountain bike. How would I know if would fit? Do you have to take it apart a measure bore on crank? Thanks in advance!

This is why e-bikes rock

@@Miles26545 agree 100%

Wym about crank size ?

@@yourmom2819 The width of the bike's crank needs to be within the limits of what the Bafang can be fitted into

@@MikeKleinsteuber how much does an entire kit cost ? Motor , display , battery ?

@@ride30r2die At the time I did my last one, around 2019, it cost about £450 plus the cost of the bike. I don't know the current amount and have been looking at alternative hub mounted motors. Just for a change and to try them out. They are cheaper but not necessarily as good. Bafang go on forever...

What bike did you used for this install?

You know it son,

Lol if anything the motor will protect the chain and chainring. The motor is solid. Well at least the 1000w. 750w Looks like a toy. I have yet to hit it on a rock so I'm just talking out my ... until then.

@Rad Ham Don't think the Trek has room there. For bikes that do that would be the best spot for it.

@@Eric_Tennant Nah, The lower clearance in many a scenarios would have me off the bike or bugger the full thing up or both.

Yeah, the battery is too big and wont fit if installed correctly, gotta be smarter than the system

@@MCMTB It will fit the correct way round just drill a hole and use rivnuts/ Its very straight forward and no need for velcro straps.

Sheesh, make sure to get a thicker chain, 1000w is pretty powerful;)

1000watt will chew through your chain and cassette real quick...believe me I know. So be prepared for the added cost of drivetrain components that need to be replaced if you go the 1000watt route. 750watt although is quite powerful with 120nm, doesn't punish your drivetrain nearly as much as the 1000watt.

At a 1000 watt it would be better to use a planetary geared rear hub motor and it will not eat your chain and are lighter than the 1000 watt direct drive systems but it really depends on how you plan on using the bike. I live in the city so hub units are great but if you plan on making a off road riding bike mid drives are the bomb but trust everyone here 750 good nuff! I believe that equates to 2 hp

A thousand watt mid drive is going eat up parts quicker than usual.

@@dalvenable331 there is many problems with rear hubs, need additional controller+ they are ugly and they are worse at uphills that mid drives and also you can mod bbshd to 3000 watts if you want to.

I went with a hub drive because I'm new to e bikes and figured I would destroy the chain with poorly timed shifts on hills. Once I get some miles under my belt I'll probably switch to a mid drive. Mids have the advantage of keeping the motor in the sweet spot but for beginners hubs are more forgiving.

@@biffmalibu3733 I think a Gear sensor will help with that problem.

so with this type of conversion it powers the crank so that you can use the gears? This is what I want. I weigh approx 77kg.

Whats your range like?

@@zao.224 with a 17.5ah battery 48 volts I get easy 40 miles on highest power setting in peddle assist mode.

@@anthonyiocca5683 that seems pretty good. Thanks!

@@zao.224 it is really great in my opinion. A lead acid battery would go maybe 2 miles. I measured the electricity going into the charger and it takes less than 1 one kilowatt to charge these lithium ion batteries. Here 1 kilowatt is about .12 cents. That is better than 4 miles to the penny.

I've put the smaller BBS01 onto an old hardtail, and get a solid 60km out of a 36v 13A/hr battery. It makes commuting fun, every day is a tail wind.

I can get 420 miles in eco mode with a BBSHD and a 48v 20ah battery. This version on the video is the toy version of Bafang.

@@Eric_Tennant 420 miles, wow! 42 miles would be very close to what I get with the smaller motor and battery.

@@petercroft9895 my eco mode (1) uses 24-50 watts is why. I have to do 9/10 the work to get this range on flat. The other eco mode is unlimited range mode (0) but that just a heavy bike. I can't wait to tour on it. I need the power for some bad mountain roads here in the 1/2 waste land of Arizona.

@@Eric_Tennant Fair enough, I guess I'd get the same sort of range if I ran mine like that, but it would really only be making up for its own weight. Commuting, I just dial it up all the way.

What?? Lol

Hello, did you manage to do that? I am also interested to build EV wheelchair, have you researched already?

Other motor controllers like the Phaserunner / Baserunner are much more flexible in programming your own personal throttle response for you.

How much did you pay for it?

@@MrAkaprimetime Around £900, including a 21 AH battery.

I'm interested in making my own! If you don't mind, could you tell me what parts you ordered for your custom ebike? That would be super helpful, thanks!

​@@michaelinkster4977what's the range like? I'm thinking of buying the same 1000w and a 28ah battery

@@xdave4277 Never really tried the range but I’d guess 30 to 60 miles with my 20ah battery depending upon how much effort you put in.
