Click the link for a 6 month review of the bike

Few things I forgot to mention in the video:
The reason I almost electrocuted myself was because I connected the batteries incorrectly. Differently than the diagram. So if you follow the diagram everything will go smoothly.

He doesn't know any of the proper names of many things on his bike , but that might mean that even a non mechanically inclined person can build this bike . Good for him.
30 mph for how far on even flat surface ?
This comment section is kinda stupid. First there's all the cocky assholes telling this guy he knows nothing, then comes the guy defending him and insulting the first guy, and then another guy does the same thing only to get insulted by the second guy. Damn man can everyone just a show a little respect? And even though he didn't use all the official terms who honestly cares? If you think you're cool because you know more about bikes than another human on the planet then you're pretty lame. Anyway I thought it was a good video man. I'm definitely coming back to it when I'm putting my motor on
Those people who ridicule this guy because he doesn't know the proper names for the different components on a bike are the same people who get ridicule by their own family for doing stupid things like having somebody screw the ladder while they hold the bulb.
You did a great job ITzRoyall so just ignore the know it alls.
how expensive is the kit?
Get your act together if you think you have something important to say. You got my attention, you wasted my time.
i dont like direct drive motors too heavy 9 kg (20 lbs just for motor) another 6kg (13 lbs) for battery I prefer much lighter geared drive motors which are only 3kg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abyuai07mO0&t=10s
GREAT video!!
QUESTION FOR YOU THOUGH!!!
If you weighed 170lbs and lived in Seattle (lots of steep hills and wet) would Your kit do the trick? Even if you wanted to strictly throttle the bike up hills or would you need to do some heavy peddle assist? Let’s say the Hill was a 30 or 35 degree hills? Would you purchase a higher Wattage motor or would you purchase a better Controller with a 52V or 72v battery? Or just purchase a Mid Drive Motor Instead? Or would this kit work for me? Opinions and Ideas?THANKS!!
Also would this motor work well with a Fat Tire Bike set up?
Terrible confusing to listen to.
I don't care if he doesn't know any names for any of the parts he is talking about , this was not a fast and CHEAP build.
modes don't work at all Ancheer 14" Folding Electric Bike 36V Lithium-ion Battery Adjustable,Black
That wiring diagram is dangerous. No wonder you melted a connector.
No way in hell I'm taking direction from someone that refers to items as "That thing" or " a whatever you call it".
he didn't use his his mind
This dude's life is a mess! He doesn't seem to understand the basics and appears too nonchalant – wouldn't trust him with anything complex or real responsibilities.
This connect's to this and this goes on this wtf is this?
It's pathetic to see all the comments of people dissing this guy because he doesn't say all the right names or because he used a tire separator. Like good job you bitch more than another person who hasn't necessarily dedicated his life to bicycles and sticking his head up his ass
this guy has a e bike and you don't so I think he one up you clowns that put him down
Can you make a video of how to make the battery
Duude that kit should befor the front wheel because every other kit has the same materials but is built for the front wheel
Your plans are great. I was able to bring my laptop batteries and several other types of batteries back to life with your methods [Check Details Here==>https://docs.google.com/document/d/163kspciMT9QSUlNAvv0MT-ezkqtKCoEIdoxzlystrFQ/edit?usp=sharing ]. Your instructions are very easy to follow. I have a few more batteries I'm going to recondition today also.
You can save a lot of money by bringing your old batteries back to life and re-using them instead of buying new, overprice batteries. And this method is simple [Check Details Here==>https://www.facebook.com/Battery-reconditioning-310070329426065/app/208195102528120 ], quick and anybody can do it.
id rather buy a $3000 dollar ebike with a nice sleek design.But hey thats me.
"I had to get some special tools for this…"
Anxiously expects him to pull out $200 worth of wheel building and truing gear.
Guy pulls out a $2 tire lever.
X*D I'm dying.
Do I need to solder anything for this??
So the kit doesnt bring batteries?
Americans cant install tires without tools?
WHAT IN THE HELL WAS
Just use a flathead screwdriver to remove the tire.
Edit: nice to see people getting into diy.
