Don't Andy Im running out of money
It's time I buy this kit... been watching awhile now and it's time I do it as my body is not liking the 30 mile runs I do on an old skool trek B series... its time I buy this kit..
And for 879.99 for the extras it's an absolute amazing bargain I need in my life now...
I know im 2y past this post but Andy sir bloody well done for this... genuinely love how you explain it all for people like me to understand and get the best information for... thank you...
I'm thinking about using my everlast welder and converting my bike to electricity. This conversion kit looks interesting.
Good way to get into the game. Happy New Year Andy. All the best in 2020
Mate this is seriously impressive, i've been looking at e-bikes for the past couple months but this is the only e-bike i've come across that meets all my demands. You should be very proud of yourself mate this is very impressive.
Thanks mate 👍
35 mph! i might not survive
@@Darkness-ie2yl there’s one for 515 that goes 50mph

England does look lovely outside of london.
The English countryside is beautiful.
Have a look at Isle of Man
Thanks for the info. Got into electric biking recently and still riding my first e bike but defo going to do an e bike build now instead of buying a pre made one. Thanks. Hope the weather is better!
Very interesting, looking forward to your build
That torque-arm is brilliant! Much better than the metal hose clamp models.
Merry Christmas mate 🎄
Excellent video mate!
The comments are very good. I had my experience with the Aston Rider kit, it came out less than 300usd with lifepo battery and it has been running without problems since I had it more than a year ago
Is it legal to put a conversion kit on my mountain bike?
Just found out about your channel, I am glad. I will enjoy and learn a lot from you.
This is by far the best video I've seen on the bike and kit.
Ordered My 2000w kit from your website 2 weeks ago, can't wait for it to arrive !
How is it?
I can definitely feel a purchase coming on, after Christmas is out of the way!
There's a few things I can't help but overlook in this build, like that dangling break cable, but other than that and a few other things, oh my gosh, what a clean install, here in the Bay Area you see so many cheap kit slapped on with zip ties and electrical tape, I'm glad to see people still take pride in their bike builds
GUILTY, I've got electrical tape all over mine, it all gets practical when you get a puncture
I did mine real nice, now i use taped and i legit tie wires around themselves because its easier to keep fixing that way lol
I put over 6k miles in my first year on a dillenger kit attached to a diamondback hybrid bike. If you are considering an e bike then do it you won't regret it.
Just put mtx kit on my bike 1500W 48V an I’m loosing power each time I crank the throttle after the first 2 seconds of having it on, got the pedal sensor on how you have yours put I have no washers do I need washers so the magnets don’t touch ? just don’t have the headlight what is causing this? As I didn’t see a headlight come with my kit so it’s not on is this the reason? I don’t know I’m lost
@@jordanhillbeck5580 The magnets should not touch.
I've just bought a Carrera Kraken with hydraulic disc brakes with 27.5 wheels, got it for work and to play at a friend's farm so I'll probably end up giving this a go and see how it is.
Link of the parts you brought
@@jonnycage5253 dillengerelectricbikes.com/ they have different type works on any bike...... there are other ways to go about it but mine works great.
Awesome video and thanks for sharing your tips 👍
Loving it just built my first 1000w happy days 🙂🎵
Built six bikes using this kit, recommend 100 percent spot on done over 900miles on mine in last few months, any weather.Mounted my controller to top of frame with a small project box behind it to hide wires, fitted a switch to box to select whether peddle assist is on or off and a small tactile switch to break lever instead of using the supplied ebrakes.
What is the total cost of the kit you paid after import duty etc? Assuming you're in the UK. Cheerd
Dave, what's the weight of this complete unit like?
I'm interested in it but still want the ability to 'comfortably' ride also.
I have a lightish bike already.
Cheers
Please tell me the name of the company to get one of these kits
Did your battery come separately from your kit
@@markspringthorpe8755 Yes the battery came a couple of week later, had to pay £30 pound dutyl
fantastic bike. I have my third electric bike now. My first one was at 750watt. Number two was the scooter 5000watt. My latest is an Enduro Leili speed 11.000watt 72volt 48Amp. It's amazing. I've always dreamed of a bike that I now have. Heavy weight over 50 kilos. Have used it on four trips. My God how fun. Have great respect for speed. So I've only been up on gear 3 out of 5. But it does almost 60Km / h in gear 3. Nice video you have. You make a lot of good electric bike movies.
Are conversion kits legal ?
What was the price of the 11.000w kit?
Has the 11000 wat leli been reliable for you how is it holding up 2 years later?
Nice work 💪 Keep more video's coming 📹
Absolutely fantastic 😊
Crazy Andy doing a power slide on white painted road lines in the wet.. Haha...Pampers time..lol....wait for the pot holes at the end of winter....nice video all explained in plain language......when I look back 3 yrs ago thank God people like you pushed us to promote this wonderful mode of Transport...thanks to you I do 150 kms a month lost 22kgs...and converted numerous colleagues to dump the car for commuting purposes..my only woes is the Chinese components..its a pity us Europeans can't supply these parts for the same price...otherwise Andy well done your the dogs Bollocks Mate....😛😛👍❤❤
Cheers Patrick, thanks for all your wit and humour in the comments section this year😅 you always bring a smile to my face when I read the comments😅hope your having a good one!
@@andykirby ²👍👍😍❤
I built a twin suspension ebike using a 1500w hub kit and it's great for commuting to my work I'm a big guy and it pulls 29.5mph with me on it brilliant 👍🏻
What kind of range do you get on yours? I’ve got the same sorta spec as you mentioned… range on mine is about 12mi tho, not great
@@montaguebarnabasltd Hi back and forward to work woz about 5 miles a day and after a couple of days the battery went down 1 bar so I just kept it topped up I noticed with the battery dropping one bar the output power went down quite a bit especially on hills so if you can afford it get a good quality battery 👍
@@sandyclanachan6619 thanks for the fast response! Yeah I’m gonna look at doing that. Pricey.
Yes bro nice bike i hope its all working still my friend?
@@ItZFlipz unfortunately I sold it as needed the money at the time but will build one again soon I hope
That’s a great looking bike you built !!!! Looks awesome and as if you bought it that way. Bravo from NY
Great video as always, hope you're having a good Christmas!
merry christmas guys
Great job, I built my own mountain bike after seeing the incredibly cheap running gear on a quite expensive bike, if you look at the cost of the average electric bike and take off the electric component cost the basic bike parts are very cheap, plus most e bikes look like girls bikes, awful aesthetics, this way is so superior, great video, I will check out your kits!
Merry Christmas to you and Sarah
That was an amazing video pal, not just for the informative part that was pretty complete, but to ride with you full screen on my TV, was an experience of those videos they use to make to sell GoPro Cameras, you should think about to find some extra profit with them or another camera maker, because the adventure is yours, budy.
Thank you
Greetings from Finland!
Mine olen ruotsalainen!
Tell me if wrong but the rear spokes looks like they are bend because the tork y 1500 w motor may be a solid aluminum wheel is better ?
It just needs a rim that's designed to suit a large hub - the rim can be dimpled or fitted with special eyelets to accommodate the steeper spoke angles, but they don't bother on these cheap crap kits.
Looks a great machine, I've built two cheapie's over the last 4 years and would love one with this much poke! Good job!
Info on your cheapies? Would love to build my own
@@spaceforce0 The latest one was a £110 500w 36v front wheel kit from eBay together with a matching battery; cost of both items about £250... fitted to a used 'Trek 2 Navigator'. £100 cheaper than the most basic ready built machine. Only thing I didn't fit was the pedal assist. Not interest in using that. I'm used to a motorbike so using the throttle all the time is no hardship to me. Top speed about 16mph but great up hills. Wouldn't suit everybody but i like it for casual riding now and again..
Awesome video, just finished mine following your videos. massive thx for the help....Is it OK to use in rain or wet conditions etc?
Im glad that you mentioned the torque arm as its a very important piece at 1500W for safekeeping of the frame and yourself.
Not necessarily. In the kit you're probably paying £50 for that small piece. I decent esc should provide speed so gradually that the nut shouldn't come lose like that
Defo! Always fit a torque arm, you can get one off ebay for £10. Worth every penny. Its like spending all that time and money building a fast bike then riding on bald tyres with splits in the sides!
@@HubbHubbs what a a torque arm
I love this I am going to get to work on getting one of these together
Do it, get the ebike smile, everyone smiles as they hit the throttle the first time.
@@HelloWorld-ns7gt really cool but here its 250w max and u need helmet, plate registration otherwise the bike is confiscated and u get serious fines.
@@Boemel This is just how once again how the government taxes the poor.
@@Boemel Where are you from?
Im getting this kit!! Just fixing up the donor bike..👍
i know what i will do when i have my birthday :) been looking for a e-kit for a while and this one catched my eye right away :)
You should do more ebike vlog and maybe DIY tutorial ebike please! :)
What frame should I get for feeling better at 36 mph lol thanks
Thank you for the info mate.I do want to get into it
kudos. Thats not a bad starter kit there. I currently run a modified BBSHD @ 2kw via a phaserunner controller. I would like to see a higher end kit available though. Maybe one with a QS205? Other than a QS motor, I will stick with my mid drive.
Sweet man - Am on 36v going to 48 in summer all been well, geared hub though - Just out curiosity absolute full cost not forgetting folks, mug guards, tyres and front wheel?
got a link to that kit/motor? Im looking for a similar kit but can find any
I would love me advise on my bike suitability. Great video
@@abidcvb www.cloudsto.com/ebikes/kirbe...
can you use this on MTB trails ?
Where I’m from there’s a road that comes off the mountain to town, pure downhill. when I was a kid on just a normal pedal bike I would reach speeds of about 80 - 100km an hour sometimes passing cars. The speed wobble was so bad it felt like the front wheel would just fly off any minute. Can’t wait to get a decent high powered ebike and go down that road again as an adult 😁
how steep was it that you were getting up to 100kmh???
Brilliant!! I want one
I have over 4000 miles on the kit I bought from you in march no problems I used it most days I've bought another battery and do 100miles a day. The only problem I had was a slip on ice and I broke my wrist. But that was my fault
Hope you get well soon
How do you find the pas, like going up hill and when you start pedalling harder for example?
in the enduro bike ya have, what battery do yoiu have in that one? i ordered myself a 48v 39ah battery
Skinnwalk3r it’s not the torque it’s cos they build the wheels shit in china. It’s worth re-tensioning the wheel yourself or take it somewhere
Too big, it probably won't fit...
Why not get 52v? Or go big on a 72v battery?
Very informative. Made me realize i need like 1500whr battery and a 2000w motor to have fun. Im 132lb
I have fitted a BBS02 750w on my specialized Rockhopper evo 2016 , absolutely love it, have a 17.5ah battery can get 50 miles easy of a full charge.
50 miles is sick!
How has it been for you 2 years later? any problems
@@Anees- over 2000 miles not one problem 👍
Compared to an e scooter which is a straight up tug if spotted by the wrong copper, what's the odds of getting hassle on this if being ridden sensibly, as in peddling and keeping the speed down? I'm guessing this could go under the radar quite easily?
I have a 1000W kit but only go fast when the road is clear. most of the time i pedal in mode 2
@@uzairchowdhry4044 Hi do you have waterproof protection bag over the battery and controller? I haven't prsonally bothered but people seem to be suggesting i do.. Also do you have quite alot of wiring showing up front ie under the handlebars the electric wiring looks diy.. Or do you simply not worry at all about all this bs that coopers may or may not do ? :) Cheers appreciate any reply
@@yourreflection7590 i have a fabric bag that houses all the wiring so there is no mess. i rarley ride in the rain but when i there is no problem. my bike looks neat only the wire bag looks diy. if u want i can email you photos
Just don’t get caught
would u do a video on DIY replacing the cells in these prebuild battery packs ? dunno if ya viewers would find it usefull.
Power tool batteries use the same high output batteries in ebikes. Alot of people are using laptop batteries not realizing laptop batteries are LOW output and will not make you go fast. If you know what you're doing then power tool batteries will save you hundreds.
@@mattjohnston5807 i only said it because years ago photonicinductions shown a video on how to replace a single cell in a power tool battery pack to save u replacing the whole pack and save u tens of pounds ( £100 for some branded packs )
@@girlsdrinkfeck Right on, thought I'd warn you just in case. I almost got suckered into getting a bunch of laptop batteries lol.
oh no of course ud have to still buy the amp ratings that matches the other cells ,but still cheaper than buying a whole new pack when u can just order a pack of brand new cells and fit them into the same battery pack and its BMS, adding to that, the governments should make battery retailers and manufactures give money back to u if u return the used and damaged cells back to them, like we did with milk bottles and how they now do with plastic bottles ! itll encourage people not to throw batteries away in landfills and the companies will have the materials needed to make more new cells :)
@@girlsdrinkfeck No joke, the amount of thrown away batteries is just crazy. The battery business is a huge business like the oil business though so they want to make money off of people and not give them a good product usually. The only thing holding graphene tech back is the fact it will put alot of people out of business if they started manufacturing graphene batteries. Hopefully lithium batteries will just be an inferior battery soon.
Very clean build
Excellent video I've just ordered a trek bike like yours ,I'll be ordering a kit off you next month
🙏🏻
Can you build a ebike on a Decathlon bike preferably a 520 or 540
Yes
Where can I get this exact kit and how much please? ,I've got a carrera hellcat with 8 rear gears so I'm sure it'll fit??,please let m know...many thanks.👍
on his website check the description
It's £800 idk if its worth it lol
Excellent, really good thank you
Sweet bike, im going to do this! Thanks for the idea, hopefully it works out as good as your bike.
Did you get it?
How was it
I can't see past the front brake cable hanging off like that
For a seccond, the thumbnail looked like a sam pilgrim video
1500 watts is a good 2+ horsepower.
As a skinny kid of about 150 lb I could hunch down over the handle bars and get a honda trail 90 up to over 50mph and touched 60mph a couple of times (probably had a slight tail wind). Me on the bike with the rack and the irrigation shovel and the mud would have been well over 400 pounds and the engine was rated for a max of 7hp or 5200 watts. (150 lb me was a goodly number of years ago...)
Nice job. Noticed some bent looking spokes on the back wheel though. Is the motor too torquey maybe?
Hi Andy
Really interested in buying this kit, im a heavy rider 150 kg, i have a marin pine with 2.8 tyres on. Would this be suitable for me?
You are gonna get a lot of flat tires.

@@shuaibabdinur1851 I am speaking from experience.
Hey, I just got my marlin 6 which is basically the same as the 5, I'm converting it with a 26-inch hub motor on the back like yours but I'm using the old rim that came with the kit, How fat do you think my tires should be at its max?? Also are you still running 26 and 29 inch rims? and what happened to the seat suspension post you had on there??
btw fantastic video, great to see that it still holds up, 1500W with 52v is insane I reach like 54km/h, any more and I shit myself

Andy, you and Tony(vorteck) are so informative to the ebike world. I wonder if you could answer this question for me. I have a 5000watt dd motor ebike. When charging which do i plug in first, the charger to the ebike or the plug to the socket. I dont want burnt hair lol.? Thanks for your feedback on this. Cheers. Andy. C
Wow so fast I’ll be too scared to do that on a bicycle ...
Wish i could afford one. Im so sick of being poor
Go to a university and ask if they have any abandoned bikes or dumpster dive. Crazy but true fact is people do toss good condition bikes. During this pandemic I decided to get a bike. I didn't buy one I either found parts tossed away or frames being thrown away. I've already ridden my 1987 Schwinn Le Tour over 100 miles during August. After I fixed it up because someone was tossing it away. Completely free bike. It runs great too. Next I'm looking to build an Ebike. Obviously won't be free.
Look all over market place offer up exc I got a nice bike for 35$ got my electric kit on Amazon for less then 600$

Only one thing I would change: the gears/front blade (coq wheel?).
Cuz with 20 m ph you already can't keep up pedalling and whats the fun of that?

This is the cleanest build I’ve seen on a trek. Unlike my Janky bmx build. But it’s a solid performer.
Eh. 720 pounds, without the bike. Bought my motorcycle for the same amound haha. But this has different possitives and negatives, it just depends on what you want.
Can get the full kit on ebay for 350. He sells it for 700, it's just his business mate cant fault him for trying
The main positive for me is that it doesn't cost $1300 to register and insure. Can also filter through traffic better than a motorcycle.

Great build nice and easy
Yeah in the damp my 1500w does get sketchy above 35mph
al these ebike riders not adhering to the regulations will just give riding a bike a bad name once people will start dieing.
dying I mean
I recognise you can go that fast on a regular bike if you are a good rider. The problem I see with this is any idiot will be able to go that fast in any road conditions. I might have been a bit too harsh I don't know. I hope I'll be proven wrong.
Yeah I rarely go above 25mph, but enjoy opening up when down empty paths. There are people willing to take big risks, but that isn’t me.
@@paulollerhead941 What kind of frame and Ebike conversion kit do you use to go that fast???
do you ever get stopped by the police? 1500w aint road legal
WARBOW MAKING agincourt it’s road legal if you don’t get caught
How would the police know, they cannot check how many amp the motor consume on the spot.
Even a 1500w motor could be street legal of the ESC limit the power available
exactly. what cop is going to pull out a voltmeter and test it?
If you start to peddle as soon as you see the pols they usually leave you alone.
My ebike in pas 1 pulls 2amps then I put it into pas 5 still pulls 2amps do u think It’s the sensor that is a problem or the converter
Simply superb
Love the bike but you are breaking the law by riding it on the roads. 250w is the legal limit and at pedal assist (not pedelec). Not sure you should be promoting illegal use.
In what country?
Also, 250w is insanely low. Legislation is the same as what you mentioned in Aus. Hopefully it will change to something more realistic in the not too distant future.
Jimmeh B I agree with you mate. That’s how it is in the uk unfortunately. You are allowed pedal assistance up to 15.5mph, anything above that is considered a motorbike/pedelec. Crazy I know.
@@poketfull so what if I pedal at 35mph ? Is that illegal ? Silly tit
Wicked video buddy! Very useful information and easy to understand. Some other you tubers talk to much unwanted info and it turns you off from listening half way thru but you nail it just right. I hve a gt avalanche 1.0 the top one would that be a good bike to get the kit on ?
Thanks, it will work on your bike if you haven’t got a through axle fitment for the rear wheel. Also check the dimensions on the website for the battery to make sure there’s somewhere on the frame to fit it.
andy kirby Thankyou for that Andy,much appreciated I’ll do just that from what i can see it looks a great bike to start off at so I’ll have to get ordering on the site. Iv fell in love with that frame of yours, you really have made it look great. Wish you all the best in your channel pal.
I darn near soiled myself when you hit 40 mph Andy! WOW!
I have managed over 40mph on my road bike only down a longish slope.
did you get import duty?how much if you did?
I don't think anybody builds ebike better than you for the money👍👍
What front rim have you got on this bike? Also where do you get the rear torque bracket.

Hello there! I'm Aaron, I love your channel!! I keep watching your videos over and over.
I want to build an e-bike. I'm hoping that set-up you are using will install on a Diamond Back Overdrive?
Hi, nice tidy job🙌🏽do you know if one of your kits would fit on my Boardman Full sus Pro XL frame or possibly point me in the right direction to one that will fit? Any help would be great😁👍🏼
can you get regen braking on this power of hub motor or is it gonna damage the batteries to put this kind of wattage back into the batteries?
Very nice build :)
On your website now.....excellent videos
Middrive motor is better then hub motor. You have more chance of spokes breaking and when that happens wheel gets offbalence and motor falls off and when that happens, you end up carrying motor with one hand walking your bike with other hand back to you car or back to your home. I have converted my fat tire bike installed 750w motor with 200 - 1000w battery. 115 miles on first full charge. How fast you want to go is up to you(so far fastest ridden on trail so far: 30mph). I did over ride safe settings, I got the pass code to over ride safe setting on UA-cam video(1-5: 10 - 25 kmh to 1-9: 10 - 99 is kmh). I installed Bafang motor with UPP battery works great
Looks awesome! Have you ever done a road bike? I have a frame that weighs in at 22lbs but have rim brakes is that gonna be an issue?
Big issue. You won't be able to stop?
