I'm using the creality ender 3 s-1. Holds up in 2024 but nicer options available for sure. it was an older frame, solid though :)

@Voltermort thanks

The motor and battery were running solid without any issues roughly 3,000km later. I eventually moved it to a nicer bike. However I got an M625 motor randomly and have been playing with that (bbshd) and it's way more power although it's also double the weight. If you want a bike that you will pedal annnd use assist then get the bbs02b But if you want an electric moped, go with the bbshd

@@alexsafonov7270 appreciate it!

I can't seem to figure out what you're pinpointing?

@@rcfreakamit nice! I'll be curious to see when you're done. Which voltage battery? I've heard 48v has way less controller failures ling term. I have 2.25 * 27.5 tires. My previous has 26*1.75" and it was brutal to ride on anything not perfectly flat

@@zantesh oh wow. That's some good perspective because I have been really curious about hub motors lately. I actually purchased a BBSHD for 208US on an eBay auction rectently. 424CAD in total. Should check out the used eBay auctions.. I believe the account name was "mossen"

@Voltermort Did you find that the bbs02b wasn't enough in the end? Since you are considering hubs. That price for a used bbshd is amazing, I'd buy one in a heartbeat for that much.

@@ziaearthquake watt does that mean?!

@@aski1529 I totally recommend it. I've got over 2,000km on mine and going strong. I would personally be more interested in the bbsHD these days

you don't have to, there's a throttle, can take you without pedalling no problem but this BBS02B is more intended to assist you while pedalling in my opinion. The assist is very strong, even at best, i would say i'm contributing only 10% to the momentum. The bbshd can go throttle only all day without overheating i think. BBS02B heats up a bit easier i think

Yes of course. Charger connector is on the battery itself. Can be charged separately

Thanks for watching :) yes, enjoying it quite a bit

@@droidking614 thank you brother! 💪

@@waynekaczmarek946 hey wayne, I would be interested! I've actually just purchased a couple tools to improve on things I could have done better in my first battery build video. Where abouts are you located?

@@Voltermort I'm like 70 miles west of Chicago, are you very farr away?

@@Voltermort I'm wanting to build out a mountain bike with an dependable motor, I've been looking all over and don't want something cheaper because I think things are going to be pretty rough in the coming months and some of these places that sell motors and such may have a hard time getting supplies, I'm just guessing

@@Voltermort so are you really far from me?

@@waynekaczmarek946 I'm over in Toronto Ontario Canada. Might be a bit of a hassle dealing with the border. Prices on amazon are pretty competitive to what materials would cost. Admittedly I could likely build with a higher build quality

That's one thing I haven't tried is a quality iron.. good solder made a giant difference. I wonder if it would be the same with a better iron

@@Voltermorthi are you in the UK ?

@mikeharper4105 nope, Canada

Appreciate it 🙂

Yes for sure. But I'd recommend a hub motor personally for a single speed bike

I have never tested but with pedal assist contributing quite a lot of assistance, i can get about 75-80km

That's fusion 360

@@Voltermort thanks ❤️

Right on that's awesome. This was my second build and should have gone smoothly until I had to start drilling the crank arm apart lol

Adding a train horn to your build will certainly be interesting :p Have you considered having a cannister of compressed air to power it? Maybe add a digital clock and some loose blue / red wires for aesthetic to the tank :p

You would need to convert 48vdc to 12vdc @25amps. That's going to need a hard-wired connection, larger wiring, and an inverter that can handle that. Each time you start the air compressor you'll drain the battery by a certain amount, which will reduce range.

Thanks! Appreciate it 💪🙂

So you feel the pain that I feel everyday. Honestly this plus a bike rack has saved me hours every single day. I actually bought from amazon.ca . I can let you know the seller when I get home. Pretty sure it's the only one. No complaints!

Hey so i checked and the seller was Accolmile. on amazong. No complaints. They were helpful when i had to message them after the initial order as welll. I think you should go for it if it saves you from being stuck in traffic and gas. So far i've taken $140 off the total price in gas savings

Thanks for the comment! sorry i've been procrastinating on creating a thingicerse. just made one but now have to wait 24 hours before uploading unfortunately.

How can we find you at Thingsverse?

@@michasliwicki5849 I created an account called "voltermort"

Sorry for my late response. What I did before I ever got one was downloaded the software, fusion 360, and saw how I liked 3D modeling first

Get a Grin Satiator and start thinking in Amp Hours.

Sorry late response. I really like that idea. Much simpler

Hey, thanks for that. I didn't add the shift sensor, instead I use the brake sensors. it is a little bit tedious as you have to remember to do it though. Something I have been meaning to get around to... I also never knew that about the 9-speed. It hasn't been an issue at all. Although I think the reason that they want you to have a 9 speed is to reduce the scenario that the motor is spinning slowly yet applying lots of current which would generate lots of heat. My guess. I just make sure to be conscious about not applying the motor at extremely low rpm and high torque scenarios

Thanks man! Your slim pack 2.0 build was awesome. I believe I sent you a message on marketplace once if i'm not mistaken. Cheers

@@Voltermort Haha nice, yeah small world I see you're in the Toronto area. Very cool to see the DIYers strong in the ebike scene. We're in Hamilton. After doing a lot of 3D printing on our end I can see how much thought / effort / design went into your pack, very cool indeed. Looks really good on the bike btw

@@ElectricBikeLaboratory appreciate it it man! Yes, always cool to see local DIY'ers. Nice I'm just over in Burlington.

Oh yeah, so much work. Lots of prototypes. Honestly this project took years. I attempted it years ago but didn't have the stability/ time. Gave it a second attempt now and glad that I got it completed and can move onto something else lol.

Thanks for the support!

It has been great. With a 48T chainring, i could hit 50kph if pedalling hard. Most of the time around 40kph. I'm very satisfied however sometimes when you have to come to an abrupt stop, and are still in a low gear, its very hard to get the bike moving from a standstill in low gear with the extra weight to shift up to a higher gear and get moving again. Takes a bit of planning. Shift up before stopping. One more thing to think about though. Makes me curious about a hub motor.

Thanks, appreciate it! I'd be curious to hear what you've got

The dude has 3 videos on his channel...all about building and modifying his ebike. How could you possibly infer that he doesn't 'seem to ride'?

You're so right thanks for your information

Yea it's the best

Hehe thank-you 😅🙏​@@shannongoulden8941

Not legal where you're at?

As it should be. People need to get around w/o giving geico money. I always see them parked outside buildings where the owner is inside working hard.

Thanks for saying so! Glad you found it useful. Many months later and that mount has been rock solid.

I'll keep an eye out 😉
