@Got_nuffin_on_me well I live in America.. And I'm sure there's laws for bicycles with electric motors on it.. Not enforced.. So we do what we want.. 🇺🇸 For the most part
I’ve got a black max 750W cruiser with 20” wheels, $1,600 ... This bike literally pulls little wheelies with my 220lb frame , it actually goes 25 mph, just 5mph over the listed speed and frankly scared me for the first week I owned it.. I get looks all day long and a minimum of 3 people will thumbs up or tell me what a cool bike it is. So far I only have just under 1,000 miles but ZERO issues. These things are absolutely the coolest invention since bread and butter.

Very cool I had the idea to build an ebike for a while but never the knowledge but watching this gave me a lot of motivation and ideas to start ... great work keep it up
E-bikes are a delightful hobby. It's a right bloody shame that the authorities are so hard-assed about it here in Canada. I've been threatened with prison sentences for building e-bikes, and even had many thousands of dollars worth of my hobby equipment stolen by the police--home invasions, numerous counts of grand theft, threatened with prison, essentially gangstalked over e-bikes. We're a fucked up country.

I've had an ebike for 2 days. Gotta say, this summer is going to be more fun! I went with the RadRunner 1 with center console for storage. It'll get me to work in 15 minutes vs 7 minutes in my car(with good lights). Looking forward to saving gas and having fun at the same time!
Amazing work of art, this is what inspire me to make of myself an engineer. Hope you continúe this route and maybe think of an ev road legal high range low weight car
Hey man! I’m really interested it your build process. I want to build myself a second EV with these parts. Can you go over the build process and what exact you used?
Its so easy actually here an idea i got this one www.ebike-bausatz.eu/499643/highpower_komplett_e-bike_umbausatz_ayw_standardmotor_250w-2800w_fur_steckkassette_lcd8h_akku_lg
Awesome! My bike is really similar but with less refinements. It's a 1500W leafbike motor, with 18 fet basic controller. 74km/h with only 48V! :o (fully tucked) Really great acceleration when I set it to 70-140 A. And I'm currently building a torque arm, I agree that this is the weak point! I do not use any Regen braking yet because with the standard Torque Arm can't hold the torque in both directions. These things are so much fun!
Also I've changed both disk brakes for 203mm, braking is perfect. And I'm waiting for some larger tires to have the ultimate grip in the city! Maxxis DTH 26x2.3 (58mm), originally BMX tires, can't wait to try that out
thats really cool. yeah definitely invest the time in building a great torque arm, its really worth it when you never have to worry about anything mechanical on these hubmotor ebikes :)
I built an ebike that's too fast. Here's how I define "too fast": Every time I ride it, I blow spokes on the rear wheel. How you get away with a solid rear suspension, I don't know. Maybe all your roads and paths are smooth? In Denver and Lakewood Colorado, USA, riding in the city is so rough, you need a full-suspension bike to go over 50kpm. I've had mine up to 65kph. Pavement has potholes, buckled seams, debris, etc. Even with fat tires, and seat suspension, it blows spokes all the time. You have a very practical bike, and I'm glad it works so well in your area. Well thought-out.
I went thru the exact issue. I blew out spokes on a hardtail only lasted 10 miles then switched to full suspension 3600 miles later rim brake worn out rim walls motor still good now switched to disc brake with new hubmotor 6800 miles, my mid drive is on standby since 4yrs way too much torque only use in as backup if other ebikes go down.
ripping spokes has 0 to do with actual torque and more how you mount your spokes. they are really short and get mounted in a wierd angle they were never engineered for. thus if you dont take measurements against that they definitly will rip. I added a sort of "washer" underneath every spoke on both ends and used rims that dont straighten your spokes at all. Thus the angle doesnt hurt them so much. That way your spokes will survive to your other question, we have great roads in germany, dont need any suspension here.
@@Pryside It's not the torque or how it's mounted that breaks my spokes. It's all the potholes and bumps that break my spokes. The city roads and paths in my city are so horrible that to drive anything over them with spokes will destroy them. What I've done is I bought motorcycle spokes that are twice as thick as the original bicycle spokes. Now I wonder if hitting a bump will rip the spoke heads our of my rims? I don't think it's worth anyone's effort to build an ebike that goes faster than 50kph without full-suspension. I plan to eventually have someone custom-weld a frame to my specifications. This frame will have full-suspension. BTW, I noticed in your video that your town has some very nice, smooth streets and paths. Where I live, the temps range from -20F up to 110F. This annual temperature variation, plus freezing moisture within cracks, destroys pavement.
Great work Leo. This is amazing. Quite a good commuter for anyone. The price is more reasonable and it’s more inspiring than anything you can buy on the market! I believe a big thick thru axel design for the motor would be nice. Your solution was very smooth too, but for doing wheelies you probably want the modulation and control of a disc brake. (That intro was sick by the way!)
Really EXITED for the next Video !! I want to build my Own Ebike to once this Covid Lockdown is over … Your next video will be really helpful as im very new to Ebikes.
This is really cool my Friend built his own ebike and it goes around 40mph and he build a huge battery he can go top speed for like 100 miles give or take a few
I built my ebike last year, I've got over 4000miles on it, never had a problem ever except for flat tires but other than that it's perfect 👌 I can reach 38mph and I get about 30-40miles out of a charge.. I love my bike xoxoxo
@@Pryside your right.. I'm a mechanic and since I been building ebikes I don't drive cars no more.. cars SUCK.. ebikes r a way more efficient mode of transportation.. for sure
thank you for sharing your build experience. I just began my journey with electric vehicles. I want a small portable bike that i can use to get to my hunting spots quietly. it doesn't need to travel far. It would be great if it had power to drag a deer. It can be slow. these are all the opposite traits bikes are being built for. I'm guessing small wheels are a good choice. I like the step through designs. I also think I probably want 2 wheel drive. if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I will be looking more at building my own since your video motivated me.
Respect man don't stop doing videos the're rly awensome and smart , I live in Austria and I already had a E-Bike build which was about 1000W but it was stolen now I wanna build the same bike as u have make pls a tutorial Video how u did it and what are your battery specs and how do u order from Aliexpress so expensive things? in Austria u should pay a lot for VAT like tax
Amazing, i am hyped for the next episode on the bike🙌 have an 1.5kw front wheel drive e-bike with 2 batteries the main one 48V 14.5A and the second one 36V 10A. I have the second one in a backpack isolated from the cold so i can get more range from the bike. I get it up to 50km/h and 60 when pedaling. On the 36V battery
@@Pryside yeah😅 its colder here than Deutchland (Norway) so need them batteries. And i am wondering where did you buy it and the pegs for the pasanger. I Often stand up while my friends sitt on the main seat but when hiting anything on the road they become sterile for a second if you know what i mean😂
@@Pryside well i desided to take the bike on a tour in very light rain and it looks like the kt-lcd3 display now is dead well i hope its that and not the controller.
Ich hab mir auch ein e bike selbst gebaut, zwar „nur“ 1000w mit 50km/h top Speed und hab mich schon gefragt wann du ein Video über ein komplett selbstgebautes machst😉. Mein bike hat auch einen Rücksitz und ein selbst gebautes Licht, ... und ich kann wirklich jedem empfehlen auch so etwas zu bauen, es ist günstig und ihr könnt wirklich alles machen was ihr wollt, lasst euch halt nicht erwischen. Paar Daten zu dem Fahrrad: Ich habe für meinen Umbau ca. 300€ gezahlt und bin schon 1500km damit gefahren, benutze 2 6s Lipos in Reihe, da das einfach das billigste und einfachste war. Ich habe ein billiges Kit mit lcd Display, Felge, hubmotor, Steuergerät,... verwendet. Funktioniert prima. Das einzige das mich stört ist, dass wenn ich Gas gebe, braucht es einen kurzen Moment bis ich fahre, ist nicht schlimm nur für wheelies ist’s unpraktisch. Übrigens kann ich für so ein Projekt ein 3d Drucker empfehlen, ein ender 3 ist dafür völlig ausreichend.
Wie nice freut mich richtig. Endlich mal einer der auch n zweisitzer gleich baut :D Lipos sind zwar nice, aber wenn man kein zugriff auf n spotwelder hat tuts n fertiger ebike akku auch. Lipo zellen sind außer für hohen discharge für nix wirklich gut und halten leider nich allzu lang.
Leo Pryside Ich weiß, da ich auch kein bms eingebaut hab, muss ich sie immer am balancer Laden und ich hab auch vor mir einen fertigen Ebike Akku zu kaufen, hatte ich bisher nur nicht gemacht, da ich einfach nicht so viel Geld dafür ausgeben wollte. Und ich bin tatsächlich auch überrascht das der Akku sich noch nicht aufgebläht hat oder Ähnliches.
Fahren ohne Zulassung und Betriebserlaubnis, wahrscheinlich auch noch ohne Führerschein. Was für eine großartige Idee, und was für eine tolle Empfehlung. Wenn die in Verkehr in dickes Porsche esjuwie die Vorfahrt nimmt, und du danach im Rollstuhl sitzt, kannst du ihm noch die Kratzer im Lack bezahlen. Lohnt sich wirklich, sowas anstelle eines S-Pedelec zu nehmen, was du dann auch ganz legal fahren darfst.
@@Pryside Hi der Motor und der vesc sind von esk8 und der Motor hat 3kv. Als akku habe ich die Panasonic Zellen die du in einem deiner Videos empfohlen hast. PS ich wohne auch in Karlsruhe vielleicht trifft man sich ja zufällig mit den Gerätschaften 🙃
Wow ich freue mich mega auf die neuen Videos. Ich hab die diesem Video mehr über Physik und Embedded Systems gelernt als in meiner gesamten Schulzeit. Ich finde es so gut das du uns die genauen Werte sagst, welche du benutzt. Damit kriegt man ein extrem gutes Gefühl für "Dimensionen". Und danke dass du auch von deinen Misserfolgen berichtest, also was funktioniert hat und was nicht, damit wir nicht die selben Fehler machen müssen.
danke, freut mich dass es dir gefällt. In dem Bike wird es erst später wenn ich mir einen Bike computer baue mehr auf embedded eingegangen, da das bike im jetztigen zustand recht dumm ist was funktionen angeht. :) Aber das ist eig auch das was mich immer motiviert, die technik über dich ich so lern im realen leben einzusetzen.
@@Phantogram2 I've complained about this for years here in Canada, a pedal-biker gets completely overlooked because he's pedalling, but an ebike going over 32 km/h is an "offense". Nothing but dirty looks, raided workshops and thousands of dollars in stolen property courtesy of the constabulary. But, in Canada, serial rapists gets ignored and ebikes are confiscated along with a prison warning.
Kv is a motor constant for measuring the back-emf. It tells you how fast the motor can spin a what voltage. Has nothing to do with Kilovolts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants
I have 2 upgrades I can reccomend put the front and back brakes to one lever so that's less wire to worry about and use wireless shifting save soo much space and very good and reliable

I've just watched it again ..... and now i think i'm settled on buying this motor . I need to look for your comments / advice on controllers etc ... but i am certain this motor will suit my protect well !!!!!! Thanks again for such a great and informative video ... looking forward to more . I spotted your xiaomi phone...... 👍😂😅
kommt drauf an die kosten sind höher beim führerschein und auto genau so aber wenn du krassen ebike willst kommt man auf seine kosten aber billiger kommt immer auf die anforerungen des besitzer an
Excellent engineering is that a Mountain bike frame I missed if that was mention in your video , I live in the states and look forward to watching more of your videos .
I like your ingenious and practical design, and I think it serves well its purpose. I bought an e-bike and switched to a new one last year. The electrical powertrain is good, but I was disappointed by the difficulty in pedaling if the battery runs flat. My current bike has 7 gears. Even at first gear, I can barely pedal faster than a walking speed and with quite much effort. I can go uphill quite fast with a mountain/sports bike, but e-bikes have always been hard for me to pedal. Even on a flat terrain, it is easier to walk with it than it is to pedal. Unfortunately, this was not regenerative braking. Pedaling does not charge the battery. It's just unduly friction. Oiling the gears did not help either. Hope you can speak about this problem in your next video, and whether you tried to fix it.
I rode my ebike without a battery a couple of times. The mxus motor creates cogging friction, as every permanant magnet motor does, but its not really that bad. What propably happens in your case is the motor controller is powering up due to the back-emf and wasting quite a bit of energy. But there is no easy way to fix that, all I can say is that my controller/ebike doesnt have that problem
You`re Genius Leo, Thanks! I have already bought a 350w Motor Fat Ebike with 4 Batteries total for me to be able to travel long distance. Later i realized that my motor is not that strong enough in climbing Hills....any idea how to make it a bit easier in climbing?
Pleased to see someone else using DT Swiss rims for their ebike. I used the H 552 rims with 240s fifteen front hub on my 27,5 wheels. However I didn't go as crazy as this guy, only "1000w" motor with a 48V 40A controller. But it's so much fun. Like the idea of using regen for rear braking, but I use a disk brake for now.
I noticed you were in Kassel👍🏻and speaking English ,excellent bike👍🏻I commute to Kassel on my much loved ebike I’ve had for the past 2 years. Excellent content and keep the good work up👍🏻I like your choice of language for your content 😊😊ride safe and stay Healthy

This is really cool my Friend built his own ebike and it goes around 40mph and he build a huge battery he can go top speed for like 100 miles give or take a few
I think you inspired at great scott electronics projects.
That is so sweet. I am going to watch you for more good information.
Outstanding Work My Friend.
I built my ebike last year, I've got over 4000miles on it, never had a problem ever except for flat tires but other than that it's perfect 👌 I can reach 38mph and I get about 30-40miles out of a charge.. I love my bike xoxoxo
nice, its really a amazing method of transportation
@@Pryside your right.. I'm a mechanic and since I been building ebikes I don't drive cars no more.. cars SUCK.. ebikes r a way more efficient mode of transportation.. for sure
@@maxpower001 YEAH FUCK CARS HERE TOO, sick of blown heads, hassled by pigs, and accidents, and running costs
Nice Video and great Project
thanks :)
I recently bought my first off-the-shelf e-bike but I plan to do a build. I really enjoy your videos.
thank you for sharing your build experience. I just began my journey with electric vehicles. I want a small portable bike that i can use to get to my hunting spots quietly. it doesn't need to travel far. It would be great if it had power to drag a deer. It can be slow. these are all the opposite traits bikes are being built for. I'm guessing small wheels are a good choice. I like the step through designs. I also think I probably want 2 wheel drive. if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I will be looking more at building my own since your video motivated me.
Respect man don't stop doing videos the're rly awensome and smart , I live in Austria and I already had a E-Bike build which was about 1000W but it was stolen now I wanna build the same bike as u have make pls a tutorial Video how u did it and what are your battery specs and how do u order from Aliexpress so expensive things? in Austria u should pay a lot for VAT like tax
It's like hearing a young Arnold talking about ebike builds, engineering stuff etc. Incredible!
Leo speaks better English and with less accent than Arnold ever has even at his present age and having lived in LA all these years.
Amazing, i am hyped for the next episode on the bike🙌 have an 1.5kw front wheel drive e-bike with 2 batteries the main one 48V 14.5A and the second one 36V 10A. I have the second one in a backpack isolated from the cold so i can get more range from the bike. I get it up to 50km/h and 60 when pedaling. On the 36V battery
Thats quite a few batteries haha
@@Pryside yeah😅 its colder here than Deutchland (Norway) so need them batteries. And i am wondering where did you buy it and the pegs for the pasanger. I Often stand up while my friends sitt on the main seat but when hiting anything on the road they become sterile for a second if you know what i mean😂
@@amiarb7634 literally from amazon. But I had to modify them quite a bit to be really usefull
just search for "bike footpegs" or something like that
@@Pryside well i desided to take the bike on a tour in very light rain and it looks like the kt-lcd3 display now is dead well i hope its that and not the controller.
Ich hab mir auch ein e bike selbst gebaut, zwar „nur“ 1000w mit 50km/h top Speed und hab mich schon gefragt wann du ein Video über ein komplett selbstgebautes machst😉. Mein bike hat auch einen Rücksitz und ein selbst gebautes Licht, ... und ich kann wirklich jedem empfehlen auch so etwas zu bauen, es ist günstig und ihr könnt wirklich alles machen was ihr wollt, lasst euch halt nicht erwischen.
Paar Daten zu dem Fahrrad:
Ich habe für meinen Umbau ca. 300€ gezahlt und bin schon 1500km damit gefahren, benutze 2 6s Lipos in Reihe, da das einfach das billigste und einfachste war. Ich habe ein billiges Kit mit lcd Display, Felge, hubmotor, Steuergerät,... verwendet. Funktioniert prima. Das einzige das mich stört ist, dass wenn ich Gas gebe, braucht es einen kurzen Moment bis ich fahre, ist nicht schlimm nur für wheelies ist’s unpraktisch.
Übrigens kann ich für so ein Projekt ein 3d Drucker empfehlen, ein ender 3 ist dafür völlig ausreichend.
Wie nice freut mich richtig. Endlich mal einer der auch n zweisitzer gleich baut :D
Lipos sind zwar nice, aber wenn man kein zugriff auf n spotwelder hat tuts n fertiger ebike akku auch. Lipo zellen sind außer für hohen discharge für nix wirklich gut und halten leider nich allzu lang.
Leo Pryside Ich weiß, da ich auch kein bms eingebaut hab, muss ich sie immer am balancer Laden und ich hab auch vor mir einen fertigen Ebike Akku zu kaufen, hatte ich bisher nur nicht gemacht, da ich einfach nicht so viel Geld dafür ausgeben wollte. Und ich bin tatsächlich auch überrascht das der Akku sich noch nicht aufgebläht hat oder Ähnliches.
Fahren ohne Zulassung und Betriebserlaubnis, wahrscheinlich auch noch ohne Führerschein. Was für eine großartige Idee, und was für eine tolle Empfehlung. Wenn die in Verkehr in dickes Porsche esjuwie die Vorfahrt nimmt, und du danach im Rollstuhl sitzt, kannst du ihm noch die Kratzer im Lack bezahlen. Lohnt sich wirklich, sowas anstelle eines S-Pedelec zu nehmen, was du dann auch ganz legal fahren darfst.
Dude i did this also on my yt with up to 44mph but that work you put in, is rly respectable 😳 You are a crazy good guy! Love your content bro.
bevor du wieder stunden am sägen bist, meld dich bei mir. ich hab zugriff auf eine Wasserstrahlschneidanlage :)
Ehrenmann
Du warst mir so eine gute inspiration fürs e-longboard. Ohne dich hätte ich keins :D Danke danke danke
Wie nice man. Freut mich richtig :)
Was für n setup fährst du? Motor, esc, akku?
@@Pryside Hi der Motor und der vesc sind von esk8 und der Motor hat 3kv. Als akku habe ich die Panasonic Zellen die du in einem deiner Videos empfohlen hast. PS ich wohne auch in Karlsruhe vielleicht trifft man sich ja zufällig mit den Gerätschaften 🙃
Shall I able to get this product in India?
How much is the cost?
1€ my friend
you can just build it yourself. there are a lot of guides online.
Amazing better than one we can buy. Love the friend seat/pegs.
Wow ich freue mich mega auf die neuen Videos. Ich hab die diesem Video mehr über Physik und Embedded Systems gelernt als in meiner gesamten Schulzeit. Ich finde es so gut das du uns die genauen Werte sagst, welche du benutzt. Damit kriegt man ein extrem gutes Gefühl für "Dimensionen". Und danke dass du auch von deinen Misserfolgen berichtest, also was funktioniert hat und was nicht, damit wir nicht die selben Fehler machen müssen.
danke, freut mich dass es dir gefällt. In dem Bike wird es erst später wenn ich mir einen Bike computer baue mehr auf embedded eingegangen, da das bike im jetztigen zustand recht dumm ist was funktionen angeht. :)
Aber das ist eig auch das was mich immer motiviert, die technik über dich ich so lern im realen leben einzusetzen.
cut to the chase, ill buy it. love these things. I'll leave the technicals to you.
“I even went 60km” *laughs in Roadbike*
I love how my ebike that can reach 40kmh is illegal but a roadbike that can reach 60kmh is legal.
@@Phantogram2 I've complained about this for years here in Canada, a pedal-biker gets completely overlooked because he's pedalling, but an ebike going over 32 km/h is an "offense". Nothing but dirty looks, raided workshops and thousands of dollars in stolen property courtesy of the constabulary.
But, in Canada, serial rapists gets ignored and ebikes are confiscated along with a prison warning.
Bicycle burnouts!!!! Yes.
This is like the Bugatti chirone of electric cycles 😂
CYCLIFE more like a Koenigsegg
@@khoanguyen9961 lol no there is a finnish guy with ebike that has like 25kw power.
You guys dont know about KREOSAN!?
Well done young man, looks amazing, German engineering at its youthful best!
11.9kV... have you ever thought about adding wings? jk
Where I live I'm limited to 4kV and I'll have to get a license plus a plate 😅
Kv is a motor constant for measuring the back-emf. It tells you how fast the motor can spin a what voltage. Has nothing to do with Kilovolts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants
I love this guys attitude . we are not so nice Boston Massachusetts
Hab Dich sofort abonniert. Du bist super. Gesehen mit Fynn Klimann.Weiter so.
Gesundheit.
Thanks much! Hope you are still making videos, That thing looks insane!
240 Amps TF dude😯
I have 2 upgrades I can reccomend put the front and back brakes to one lever so that's less wire to worry about and use wireless shifting save soo much space and very good and reliable
So when you click the bike lever they both activate and try get tubeless tires a lot more reliable
Hab dich bei Fynn Klimansland gesehen 👍
Great video, looking forward to the next part...
Welchen Motor hast du benutzt ?
Und deine videos sind super 👍
sag ich doch im video lol. mxus 3000 der v3 3T wicklung 11.9Kv
@@Pryside warum nich den qs205? Der könnte nochmal mehr ab und is glaub ich vom Gewicht gleich
@@BukkitViper QS205 hat 155 mm dropout. Mxus nur 135mm. Aber ja Qs205 geht heftiger. Am besten mit 96Volt.. :>
@@Trumppower ah okay, nagut so eine 96V battery wiegt aber auch einiges und vorallem den Controller bekommt man nicht in europa dafür! Wenn du was hast teil es gerne
@@BukkitViper voralm weil er ja eindeutig ne Lifepo4 Batterie gebaut hat um so hohe Ladezyklen erreichen zu können braucht es diese eben ,denn normale Zellen mit Lion Technik sind nach maximal 1000-1500 Ladezyklen kaputt
You are awesome friend. Your understanding of the subject is great. I’m excited to watch the new video you speak of making.
.. this guy is the proto-typical German .. amazing .. this is how they went from bicycles to the moon in 66 years ..
Pretty sure it was the United States that went to the moon and not Germany.
@@toddkimberlin7609 the dude who made the rocket is german
@@toddkimberlin7609 I was not implying that Germany sent men to the moon Todd .. I had in mind all the engineers who developed the technology of flight .. but anyway German engineers were key players in that development don't you think ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun
Karl Lober I see what you’re saying. And yes von Braun and many others were German if I remember correctly weren’t they giving immunity to war crime prosecution if they agreed to come and work for the us government?
@@toddkimberlin7609 .. right .. my main intended point was to say that is was 66 years from the first powered flight before men were on the moon .. Operation Paperclip en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip
.. this man is still alive .. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedwardt_Winterberg
Hey what's up man your e-bike is very thorough will put together I like it it's not overly bulky it has everything it needs to in order to make a proper commute I love you a great work I'm here in the states just gotten into cycling for the last 2 years now I have an e-bike as well
Mach mal wieder Deutsche Videos würde (uns) Freuen 🥺🙏🏻
Amazing work you,ve done. im thinking of starting my own build and need all the help i can get. Keep up the good work and sharing your knowledge...
10 HP on a bike?
I'm not I like the sound of that.
10hp on a bike?
I’m **indeed** I like the sound of that.
Hello from Australia. I very much enjoyed your video looking forward to seeing some more. Keep up the good work.👍🏆
Finally 😍
I've just watched it again ..... and now i think i'm settled on buying this motor . I need to look for your comments / advice on controllers etc ... but i am certain this motor will suit my protect well !!!!!!
Thanks again for such a great and informative video ... looking forward to more .
I spotted your xiaomi phone...... 👍😂😅
haha, nice. glad i helped, yeah miui and the mi series have come a long way, a great cheap phone :)
Ich feiere dich mega mach so weiter.
Excellent work Leo, I look forward to you detailed description of components. I am working on building a 3Kw Dirtsurfer
naja, solange lustig, wie man keinen Führerschein hat
kommt drauf an die kosten sind höher beim führerschein und auto genau so aber wenn du krassen ebike willst kommt man auf seine kosten aber billiger kommt immer auf die anforerungen des besitzer an
Excellent engineering is that a Mountain bike frame I missed if that was mention in your video , I live in the states and look forward to watching more of your videos .
I like your ingenious and practical design, and I think it serves well its purpose. I bought an e-bike and switched to a new one last year. The electrical powertrain is good, but I was disappointed by the difficulty in pedaling if the battery runs flat. My current bike has 7 gears. Even at first gear, I can barely pedal faster than a walking speed and with quite much effort. I can go uphill quite fast with a mountain/sports bike, but e-bikes have always been hard for me to pedal. Even on a flat terrain, it is easier to walk with it than it is to pedal. Unfortunately, this was not regenerative braking. Pedaling does not charge the battery. It's just unduly friction. Oiling the gears did not help either.
Hope you can speak about this problem in your next video, and whether you tried to fix it.
I rode my ebike without a battery a couple of times. The mxus motor creates cogging friction, as every permanant magnet motor does, but its not really that bad.
What propably happens in your case is the motor controller is powering up due to the back-emf and wasting quite a bit of energy. But there is no easy way to fix that, all I can say is that my controller/ebike doesnt have that problem
You`re Genius Leo, Thanks!
I have already bought a 350w Motor Fat Ebike with 4 Batteries total for me to be able to travel long distance. Later i realized that my motor is not that strong enough in climbing Hills....any idea how to make it a bit easier in climbing?
Hello from India.....Excellent work....nicely edited video....appreciated.
Pleased to see someone else using DT Swiss rims for their ebike. I used the H 552 rims with 240s fifteen front hub on my 27,5 wheels. However I didn't go as crazy as this guy, only "1000w" motor with a 48V 40A controller. But it's so much fun. Like the idea of using regen for rear braking, but I use a disk brake for now.
I noticed you were in Kassel👍🏻and speaking English ,excellent bike👍🏻I commute to Kassel on my much loved ebike I’ve had for the past 2 years. Excellent content and keep the good work up👍🏻I like your choice of language for your content 😊😊ride safe and stay Healthy
Yeah, ok that's a cool bike. I've had a look online and the parts are fairly priced. I think I'll give this a go. :)
Ready for the next video! Thinking of doing a setup like this!
Too Fast ??? Until You break through The Space/Time Continuum.... It's Not Fast Enough IMO!!! Lol. Great Work Man !!!
true, my next goal is traveling forward in time
This is most gangsta bike i ever seen
i've just watched it again .... i'm finally making the last decisions needed to buy the right one . such an awesome video . thanks again and again 👍😅😀
Awesome work!
I'm using my bike only offroad, where such construction isn't very suitable, that's cool you have plenty of good roads to drive around!
This guy deserves more subscribers holy shit.
You are a genius young man. Well done you and thanks for sharing :-)
i think project-based learning is the real deal, compared to theory based learning you get in University!
building projects is the Ultimate booster when it comes to knowledge. you get to understand deeply what these Units actually means...
grats bro loved the build.
you should focus on CAD designs to make your Bike more personalized i believe you have great future ahead of you.
Thanks for sharing. So much wisdom. I am looking forward to absorbing more and tweaking for my commute / shopping bike.
Great video man!!
