Hey guys if you have any questions please ask I read all the comments and I usually get back quick. For more insight on what i do on this channel go to this channels Instagram @endoprysm.
how refreshing, someone who knows what they want to say and how to say it, no convoluted explanations of the obvious, I see someone who is going places.
I was looking for a video on someone building and detailing the process of building their ebike and I found this, here are the things I learned from this video. Pretty much everything is self explanatory and pretty easy.
As a man who absolutely HATES electric trucks and cars, I love everything about electric bikes. This video was pretty helpful and informative for a future bike build that I plan to do.
Really appreciate the video bro. I've got a background in cycle mechanics but the electronics where intimidating me... Finally a clear cut video of how to wire the hub motor. I have new found confidence if I needed to do a tier or even full hub motor change. :)
I want to share a concept with you and your audience during your build process. The concept is 'steerer bearing pre-load'.... If you go to the fork installation section of your video, I would advise the following sequence: But first, a couple of things: 1. Always best to press bearing cups into the steerer headtube of the frame versus pound them in with a hammer. This is because the bearing races you are pounding into the frame can distort with hammer blows which compromises the interface aka geometric agreement between the bearing and the bearing cup(s). You can you use a gigantic C-clamp and a piece of 1" thick wood. Press one bearing cup into the head tube at a tim:. 2. Always apply a thick automotive grease or equivalent to the bearings prior to assembly. OK, this is the important part. Back to tightening sequence: The spacers on your headset are NOT just cosmetic. They serve a purpose. What you always want for stability and to mitigate damage to your bearings while out riding is...a concept called Brinelling...look it up....is have the bearing balls tightly against the bearing cup races to reduce vibration and damage to the bearings over bumps in the roads which put small dents in the hard balls over time due to space between bearing balls and bearing cups. For this bike build, the way to accomplish long bearing life is.... 1. Install everything except handlebar without tightening anything. 2. before you tighten the top 'tree' to your fork tubes, you tighten the skinny top screw which presses down on the steerer cap and compresses the top tree through the spacers and tightly sandwiches the top and bottom bearings between the two fork trees. 3. Now you tighten the top tree bolts which firmly attach the top tree to the two fork tubes. 4. Lastly, align the stem with the fork tubes which still under preload..knock it sideways with your hand...and tighten the stem clamp bolts. That's it. Now you have preload between the bearings and their mating bearing cups so when you go over bumps which you do every minute of every ride, the bearings won't Brinell and be ruined. But further, this is important, your bike will track much more steadily because the front end is tight...without any lash between bearings and bearing cups which promotes front end wobble due to road disturbances because without preload the front fork attachment to the frame of the bike is not solid. Hope above helps. You are a brilliant young man with a generous heart to share your good work with us. With your aptitude, consider going to engineering school if you love to build cool machines like this and learn about the relationships including why designs are created as they are. Thank you for your step-by-step video. Invaluable to anybody like me and others who has interest in building a very fast e-bike. Ride safe and have a blast!
I was under the impression that the spot where you routed your brake line is where the controller usually goes on these frames, That's why there wasn't a hole for the phase wires. That said, also a nice option to be able to put it inside the frame as well if you don't want that box hanging off the front. I'd probably put the charger in the spot your controller is in, and just route an ATX female adapter to the outside (or some extra circuitry and an SAE J1772 female socket as well so I can charge at public stations).
You made one mistake when installing the fork. After sliding the fork through and adding the spacers on the steering tube, DON'T tighten the stem all the way, you want to torque down the cap to the star nut first. Once that's torqued, there's the right preload on your steering and you can then straighten the stem/bars and finish tightening them down. You basically want it to be able to slide around a little until the cap is torqued down.
@@blakey271able it's the correct way, yessir. It ensures you have the proper load on the bearings. You pick the bike up and lean it slightly towards the front end. Sway it side to side gently, and there should be just enough load on your headset so that the wheel turns freely and doesn't bind at any point in the rotation. You'll have awesome steering no-handed riding too if it's correct. Too loose and you'll feel the rattle. Too tight and you won't be able to ride no-handed very well at all.
Trust me sometimes I think my voice sounds annoying or robotic and sometimes that makes me think my videos suck. But you have to remember that’s because you’re rewatching your videos over and over for hours while editing. Somebody who comes along and sees your content for the fist time will think it’s great and that’s often what I get.
Hi there brother. I'm Leonard Erasmus,and i'm 50 yrs of age, and from South Africa. I must say that your ENDOPRYSM E-Bike is really awesome. To be really honest with you,is that i really do wish that i could afford one of your awesome ENDOPRYSM E-Bikes to help me for very easy and fast transportation to work and back home,but really unfortunately,is that i really can't afford one, because i work for the POST OFFICE COMPANY,wereby i really don't earn enough money to provide me with everything i do need really bad,and i also know that i'm not the only one.
Wow you're problay the Best E-Bike UA-camr in this 5000w+ category FR. My 5kw ebike (with the same frame) is now nearly finished only the Motor still missing but i Know 2 months ago I had the same questions wtf do i really need I could fugure it out after 1 or 2 days but for someone that doesnt know anything about Bikes ect it problay would be a mess. Keep it up
I'm a 64yr old Retried Outlaw Biker. After a few sergerys and a couple yrs in the hospital I'm building a e- Bike next. Don't know why just like the tourk.
I have a zero x 10 and I want to learn how to upgrade it Learn about the controller How to buy and which not where to connect the wires How to add a horn Signals and lights I would love to help me Thank you very much
The torque arms at 6:26, where can I find those? Are they all the same size? I got a pair that doesn't fit my rear wheel. They are too small. I've been looking everywhere for them and can't find them anywhere! Not even on Alibaba...
You chose the same brake discs as mine and they are very good, they are also floating discs which prevent them from deforming when they heat up too much, that's what I had on my big cubes when I was riding a motorcycle, I did for more than 16 years, big unbridled cube... Tu as choisi les même disque de freins que les miens et ils sont très bien, ce sont en plus des disque flottant qui empêche qu'ils se déforment en chauffant trop, c'est ce j'avais sur mes gros cubes du temps où je faisais de la moto, j'en ai fait pendant plus de 16 ans, du gros cube débridé...
awsome video, wish i was trying to build a enduro now. but im looking to build a AWD dual motor dual battery setup on my kepler which has a 52v1000w1800peak motor @35amps 52v20ah battery, i already bought another battery two install underdowntube with aquad connector for two controllers/batteries. how to add front motor wheel with new contollers one display and one throttle and use of front or rear only or both. thanks if you cant point me in right direction. thx again
Do you have to be careful not to move the brake levers and thus pushing out the pistons making it a nightmare bleeding the brakes do the brakes come or hydraulically filled with fluid and if so is any bleeding necessary to get them to be quite a nice
Does this motor have a pedal assist option? Been looking at kits and don’t wanna use the pedal assists and all of them say something about it. Or does it matter? Can you simply just not run a sprocket and pedals?
Any way of converting electric moped components into one of these.I have the option to buy 50 of f a courier company.They have 5000w hub motors and 2kwh batteries.
@@gigachadgameing8501 typical chad comment, doubt you have enough money yourself and with that attitude you probably wouldn't have enough common sense to be able to drive it, even if you had it
Why haven't you installed sprockets and chain? and the pedaling sensor for motor assistance? technically it is not an electric bicycle but an electric motorcycle.
So I would like to build one. Have zero experience with e bikes. Where does one begin to figure out what parts I need. And where to purchase them. And figure out the compatibility. Tire size. Motor and controller etc.
I have the same model only 8,000w. I've found that the power to be too much most of the time. When I first got it I loved jamming around but for daily use it's like driving a Dodge Viper to the store for milk. I'm currently building a 2000w from an old bike for small errands and keeping the Enduro for long trips and fun.
Where did you get the part to hold the motor cable away from the rotor (5:20)? I’m finding on my build, everything is so close and I don’t want the rotor nuts spinning and catching the cable. I’m so tempted to run without a rear disc brake! 🙂
It came with my motor. It’s interesting that you did not get that too. What I would recommend you do is contact the company I bought my motor kit from and ask if you can buy one. You can find there WhatsApp on the Amazon page In my description for the motor kit.
I have a question for the e-bike community When I built mine I have a man contractor and a pre-charge contactor but that takes up so much space and I can't get my big battery in is it really necessary
Hi, complete noob here with no bike assembly experience other than very simple tasks (bike pedals left side..and right haha). I want to remove the crank arm but that sucker ain't coming off. I want to take the chain off, but that sucker is right. I want to remove those items, put some stationary pedals like a motorcycle would have because I don't pedal and only ride powered. I already know it's not road legal, I am not here for legal advice but I appreciate the concern. I just want to ride it that way. If you can help direct me to some videos or give me some info I would appreciate it. Thank you.
You're supposed to tighten the top cap into the star nut before the side stem bolts, not super tightly but enough that there's no play when wiggling the forks.... At least that's what I've always done.

thank you, for that info, but also what size brake rotor are you using for front and rear ? oh and what did you do, to go from 8000W to 12000W ?
My motor is 8000 watt. But the power my controller and battery puts out is 12000 watts.
Also 203mm rotors
