This disection was quite fun to watch. Your enthusiasm for the experiment and love for the bike are contagious. Bravo! I don't miss that winter weather... Happy to be in SoCal.
Awesome test, even more awesome transparency. A good amount of the damaged buts are more from the forced thaw it seems but inside the motor housing was a bit rough, but to be expected. Bravo for letting us see the results of such a brutal test. It says alot about your brand confidence!
Because it the bike or the water wasn't moving for it to get in between and fully in the parts. Being frozen was what made it last rather than sitting in just water.
@@dawhoda1 the motor sat in water and never really froze fully as shown in the video. Freezing and thawing ice moves water with way more force than just sloshing water around
It's good news for the display biking more than "splash and dust resistant " but like to see inside the bafang motor hopefully their mid drives are sealed as their hub drives sire are not!
The first battery that you tested and thought was dead. Chances are if you just leave it in for over 24 hours 48 hours it should bring it back. The BMS will cut it out like you said but after all the cells are charged enough it will turn it back on. Think they are individual pieces so it has to start from the back to the front to charge each one to optimal voltage. I've had this issue a few times on other battery packs
I wish you would have done this test without using flame and tools/hammer to break the ice. It caused damage that flawed the natural results of moisture/freezing. However, I think even with flaws, you will learn a bit how to prevent moisture from seeping into components. That will provide a bigger margin of safety for consumers who need to operate ebikes in wet and/or freezing conditions. And also, a lot needs to be done to prevent battery corrosion, and potential runaway fires during recharging. Were you able to determine why the lights turned on? There would be no fix if the weight of solid ice pressed down on the switch. However, if there was material in the switch that contracted at different rates in colder temperatures, you may have to change materials to make them contract at the same rate.
I'm a European ebike driver here, can anyone please explain to me why every American ebike driver is always on a fat bike? I'm riding 2' wide tires, which are here considered the biggest conventional tire, and have seen only one rider with a fat ebike. Are there no offerings for regular ebikes in the US, or do you all just want the fattest tires available?
@tettazwo9865 elements like zinc, cadmium, etc ...... you are pretty thick-headed if you don't understand English (or metallurgy) any better than you did there.
@@Biktrix you put your comment to the wrong person, I'm on your side. tetta is the one making rude counter charges, after incorrectly limiting "rust" to just iron and steel. People running around making false and misleading statements like that need to be corrected, so other neophytes don't learn the wrong things. If you look further down, you will see I was trying to respond directly to him, but my posts were disappearing. When that happens in y-tube, I post things in the original comment field. I've had some great y-tube chats with the person who I think is the principle owner of biktrix. I support what your company is doing.
@Biktrix hehe well possibly clearer objective, was this to test the effects of freezing on the bike or to simulate being left outside like in a pond over winter, if true objective to freeze then plan better with the weather or have plan B indoor freezer, this turned inton more of a water test than a Freeze test per title. Maybe put bike in freezer next for some hours before pouring water and pour water in stages so it freezes quicker, anyway funny video 👍
@@Planet-ICELAND the point of the video was to have some fun. Weather in Sask went through record breaking fluctuations last winter which wasn’t predicted by environment Canada. Using a freezer was an option but it would have made for a super boring video. We’d rather have a bit of fun with it.

Thank you for the honest, informative and entertaining video!
Interesting testing, great video!
Cool video really enjoyed it!! I wonder how it would survive a month in salt water? Talk about rust!!
The controller, motor & display surviving is really amazing!

I don't mind having that e-bike for free even though it was stuck in an ice cube for 3 weeks😅

New title suggestion: The song of the bike of ice and fire :)
This got recommended to me for a reason :) Very good video I hope this blows up, could we discuss a potential collaboration?
3:08 no studs on shoe bottom? should probably get some of those if it gets that cold alot.🙂
My first thought was, why didn't you break the ice on the first day while it was still thin and shut the light off

Need to put it in rice now lol
great content
Will it work? Probably not for to long.
We have about 500km on it since.. time will tell ;)
Interesting that fire did something to ice, who woulda thunk?
Hello dear friends the battery only want to Tay out and then it can work again the ebike can work again 😊😅
Rust is corroded iron or steel only.
hi
wrong .... cadmium "rusts", similarly zinc, as do many other elements used to make metal
@@rayrussell6258 this is embarrassing! 😅
@@rayrussell6258 what's that even supposed to mean "elements used to make metal"? Have you the faintest idea what you're talking about?
@@tettazwo9865 zinc, cadmium ..... etc...
YOU are pretty thick-headed if you don't understand English any better than you appear to.
Now try it with a Surron or Talaria 😂
If you let the ice melt it might have gone differently

Our roads have a lot of potholes here in Canada. lol
Dona e scooter its smaller
There are many things smaller
Wow XT60s on a production bike, not a great choice
It’s what’s recommended by the motor manufacturer.
Well. Busted bike😢
No it didn't work but they just put all new parts on and ofcourse it worked 😂
No we didn’t. As mentioned on our video, we replaced the connectors and battery. Nothing else.

Don’t be so stuck up. Loosen up a little.

Not a very clean test, take notes for next time.
Enlighten us!

wtf
Battery ain't gonna from a led light that uses nothing for watts. Proves these dudes are clueless from the get go 🤦♂️
