Sweet ! That thing cooks ! Nice build 👍🏼
That's definitely quick enough Johnny, anyone who's had a motorbike won't probably get it, but I know 40mph + on a bicycle frame is really going some. Do you find as I do, that 40mph is okay on throttle but scary and sketchy as hell when you peddle these speeds! I've had about 43mph out of My triangle build, but need to GPS it instead of relying on the KT LCD 8H display for a more accurate reading.
Brilliant stuff again Johnny
Cheers

Exactly mate it's quick enough on a mtb frame without having to worry about peddling. I won't be making a habit of this. Some lcd displays are accurate and some are like cars and motorcycles they tend to be about 10% out. This 1 is very close only a few mph out.
Cheers mate and would be interesting to know what yours could do.

This has made my day! Great video showing what we want to see.
I want one of these kits! Currently on a 2000 watt 52 volt, which is fine, but I know how much more fun a 3kw 60 volt kit would be.
It's fun for sure but also crazy fast for a mtb but I like that. Acceleration is pretty good too 👌
How fast can you get going on your 2000 w system?
She's a Beast!! The sound of the bike at the beginning of the Video said it all she sounds Awesome! Great vid Johnny I've bottled out for now doing the downhill as I keep going over the bars but I'm determined to complete it I'm just a bit scared😩😭😭
Little electric beast for sure and sounds great in full bore. 👌
Just give it a go but take it a little easier, least it will get you in the groove. Gotta stop going over the bars though and work out why or how it keeps happening?
How fast the hub motor get hot ? I have similar setup 60v3000w50amp hub motor and 60v45-50amp controller and my motor hub get 70deg after 4-5 miles of driving is this normal?
What controller do you have? Wanting to do something similar
Where can I find the kit used?
Beautiful build, is that small pouch on the left holding all the extra wires? also it's to bad vandervolt wont ship to the US
Thank you ! I really like this build too. Yes the bag is just to help tidy wires up, not final though. That's a shame they don't ship further than the UK.
Cheers
Nice.👍
Where do you buy these kits
Hows the hill climbing on this direct drive? Would a 2000 watt geared hub motor be better for steep hills?
This is and has more way more torque on hills than my rv800 but that's only because of its power. The 1000w rear geared bafang is very competent on hills similar to my old 2000w direct drive .
What size wheels do u have
Do you know How much it takes to recharge the battery after it’s finished and do you know the range/miles full charge? Thank you
I'm not exactly sure yet I'm still testing. Conservatively riding with some assistance I did 25 miles and had 75% battery left. I'm still learning it and carrying out multiple test to work out range at different speeds etc.. massive battery from just throttle at 15mph it would expect to easily achive 50 miles with some good hills.
Cool Kit! I have that same spec kit (on a specialized rockhopper) 3000W but with a 72V battery. With flat road tires it does 54mph, which is scary fast on a pedal bike. And the range is huge! I can go 50 miles at 20-30mph and have > 50% battery left. I can pedal assist 1 at 13mph all day and have 90% battery left. Love that kit! Where is the controller on that bike? Is that that package hanging off the side?
Me too, 72v 80a 3000w specialized hybrid on 29 in road tires, I've seen 55mph and yes it's scary
Curious What's your battery capacity?
Wow 54 is crazy on pedal bike but gotta try it once at least. This has good range too if conservative with it.
No controller is on seat tube tucked behind battery. That package is my cable tidy bag. Still needs improving I know, just not come up with better solution yet.
@@pnewt8458 72V 25ah. I converted my wife's old MTB with an eBikling kit, 1500w 52v 16ah. That thing does 42mph. Their wiring harness is really good. Much better than my order direct from China kit. And in pedal assist 1 I've seen her pedal that bike for 3 days without a recharge. Probably about 30 miles a day. She weighs about 110lbs. Hub motors are great for the road but overheat in continuous steep mountain conditions. I've burned up a few controllers and melted wiring more than once.
@@pnewt8458 can u send me link to battery u have pls?
Hi, I'm impressed and looking to create a similar build. What exactly did you source from vandervolt? They have neither the hub, controller or battery so just curious. Quality video 👍
Hi and thank you. I purchased a complete kit from them, everything needed for the job mate
Rapid mate I build these my self(1000w cheap kits) 50mph on a push bike is scary speeds I did a stealth bomber build on my last one 72v 3000w that only did 55mph flat out but was a death trap lol always wanted to do a high power on a normal bike frame
Yes it is mate and some people always just want top speed of kit. But realistically if you try to ride this flatout on the road it won't last long. I've checked frame over just for peace of mind.
@@motomachinezuk8786 yeah mate it’s not rideable Evan a 1000w isn’t rideable when going over 25mph I find the sweet spot at about 17 18 mph and pedal my hardest that way I prelong my battery’s life , wicked build tho lad making me want to sell my current build and start another 3000w build lol
Wow faster than my motor bike.
Is it difficult to do these conversions or does it involve a lot of messing about with wiring?
If you buy a complete kit is very straight forward, plug and play. If buying separate components then there would be some messing with wires and connectors etc ..
Hi johnny is your bike for sale im looking for something similar
Which winding qs205 do you have?
It's not a qs motor just a kit job
When I was a teen (80s) we would tweak our 50 or 80cc 2 stroke engines and turn our mopeds or small trail bikes into illegal speedster as well.
Electric was not available at the time.
Working on gas engines required more work and more skills. Filling metal, tuning carburetors, experimenting with various pistons, compression ratios, fuels, gear ratio, exhausts…
50 mph was not a great achievement although not too bad for an entry level moped.
Cops would occasionally nail us not so much for excessive speed but for excessive noise.
At least these electric rigs are quiet!
I think I would have picked a relatively high end road race bike and wheels for such a fast bike: these frames are designed for high speed. Braking will be an issue, however. Bicycles don’t brake hard: you’ll go over the handle bar.
Another option for a fast bike might be a long wheel base downhill bike: the braking may be ok. However the riding position is very upright.
We need pit bike videos demon 170 and 190
Working on it
I know you have had this build for a while now any Interest in selling it yet?
Wondering how much it weighs?
it is a heavier, noticeable when trying to pick it up but also battery adds alot. I will try and weigh the whole bike soon as its made me wonder now
Looked like you were going uphill too, to be able to slow down, so I would agree that it can get to 50, which is mad, mine got to 38 at power mode 4 with a similar battery except it was 72v, but I did not feel comfortable going any faster because the handling of the bike didn't feel as stable as others i've used. Does it not say how much power is being used on the display there ? e-bike builders should probably emphasize this isn't something young people should be doing, you need to already have a lot of experience riding various different bikes and also mechanical work and common sense / knowledge of road safety.
That's is a fair comment about ebike builders, I shall mention that sometime. Yes the screen does show watts I've noticed it over 3500. When I got a full battery it's more.
Would also help if I had 40psi in both tyres for so less resistance.
@@motomachinezuk8786 whats your thoughts on this type of bike in general ? seems like you've mostly been riding your other ones. For me these were fun to go around the local area and did ok off road but not really much better than my old mountain bike with the 48v 1500w motor. I like the acceleration but the high speeds are not practical to do often so I wonder whats the point of it. With the stealth bomber I was able to do longer range at similar speeds and its got better features all around, my other bikes are also probably more comfortable to ride for long periods.

Aint no way that hub motor is getting 3500w continous
It's 3,000 continuous I think. 3500 peak
More like 2000w continous@@jeremywheeler2122
Should be a peak of exactly 4032 watts on this setup on a fully charged battery. You'd be getting over 3000w of power output until approximately 50%. (Voltage times amps)
You’d be surprised how much a hub motor can handle if winded properly, there are a lot of hubs like these out there that for example are rated 48v 1000w but really end up getting 60v batteries and 2500w pushed through them no problem bc they’re built to handle it.
I’ve learned that as long as your controller can handle the amps being pulled from the battery, if it’s a decently built hub motor, a moderate/reasonable boost in voltage is almost never going to fry it. A lot of hubs out there that are rated for 1000-2000w that can handle 3000-4000 continuous
@@Floridaprophet yeah it will handle boost of voötage but not aloy of amps , mine was heating when it was stock
sad that batteries like this are banned in the uk now
First
What is the point of these bikes? They're illegal death traps. And you don't even have a place to carry a shaving kit with you. If you want real speed buy an electric or gas motorcycle built with inherent safety features.
And there it is. Killing the vibe!
I sold my motorcycle for a e-bike like this. So much more fun and more freedom also less problems in traffic with cars and sometimes even faster as bikes on the road.
Hi Karen 😉
How do you think the wheel bearings would hold up if ran for long periods at these high speeds?
@@boblawrence5011 most of these have motorcycle bearings
