Third e-bike in the spotlight. In short, a bike you can sit on for 12 hours in a row and be comfortable. 8 months since I last posted and now back. Don't forget to like my video.

Hey, indeed. In the beginning I only made a wheel arch for the front wheel, I didn't plan to make one for the rear wheel right away. Driving in the rain, in the rear view mirror, I saw the water flying up. Maybe a couple of meters high. I had no other alternative but to make a wheel arch for the rear wheel as well.
Hey 😀 You look familiar, I remember your some of your videos, the first video that comes to mind was a review of "Inside e-bike motor after 15000km" and Sunrider, very inspiring. I don't know if my first motor which was a bafang 750w would have lasted that long, HD definitely improved from that. Thanks for the comment.
Oh nice that you've seen my videos too! Yes the design of the bbshd really helps with maintenance. I rarely use more than 200w so that's probably why it lasted so long! @@DatEbikeGuy
Fiberglass areo taillbox will extend the range significantly. The aerodynamic trunk gives greater yield than the front fairing. At speeds of 30-40 km/h, a well-made case should provide an additional 20-30% range. I also recommend wearing tighter clothes, if something in your clothes is billowing in the wind, it means that it is eating up energy. In addition, a sine wave controller will allow for better efficiency, which will also translate into longer range. Plus, regen support via the controller will give an additional 5-10% range.
First, I want to thank you for your comment :) I have thought about the rear tailbox. But not a massive one where the whole height of the seat goes to the back. I don't feel a lack of regenerative braking on this bike, as most of my riding is in the countryside and I don't really gain much from braking. For example, a commuting bike has it and for one reason, to save brake pads and money. Renegade is a bonus, if the battery is old then renegade will help compensate. You are right about the clothes. I've watched my old videos of touring, there's wind blowing straight into the trousers and they turn into a balloon, hilarious.
@@DatEbikeGuy As you write, the gain from regenerative braking is small in terms of energy and the head is used to save the brake pads, which it does very well. But when driving long distances, even the 5-10% energy recovery from braking counts. Of course, the route profile is also important, e.g. if you live in the mountains, recovery does the job. I also ride a recumbent bike (and have done a couple of them), but since I live in a big city and visibility over car roofs is crucial for safety, I ride an upright bike more often. But when it comes to energy efficiency and long routes, a recumbent bike has a clear advantage. The engine winding is also important - the slower the winding, the better the bottom torque and the better the efficiency. I had two recumbent bikes with mxus 12x4 and mxus 3k turbo engines, also with fast winding, and both were very power-hungry. Now I use a 9x6 winding and there is a significant difference in energy consumption - a plus for the slower ones. The speed itself also makes a huge difference, but that's rather obvious :) Seeing how nice your laminate fenders turned out, I think the tailbox would also be successful. From my experience with lamination, laminating inside the mold gives a better result because the surfaces come out smooth and do not need to be putty. But here a separator is important to separate the laminate from the mold. Greetings from Poland :)
@@Rognivald My Enduro E-bike has a 3kw motor. It's like a big american car that takes a lot of power :) I watched your videos, those group rides are exciting to watch. The area where I live is flat, no hills. I bought a standard winding front motor for my commuting bike a year ago in Canada(Grin through axle). The controller, display can be connected to a computer to make crazy settings. The only thing that motivated me was because of the renegeing braking when riding in the city all the time and I wanted a front motor with an intergeated torque arm for my own safety, don't trust the Chinese ones. I was planning to have a recumbent bike welded and register it as a moped, at the moment the plan was put on hold, too many risks. Happy holidays. BTW there is an online shop in Poland called Nexun where I ordered spare parts for my mxus motor just in case. Thanks & Happy holidays.
@@DatEbikeGuy I know the owner of the Nexun store, a very good person :). He made a lot of guides on how to start your adventure with electric bikes, which helped many people in Poland build their own bikes. I invite you to his channel: www.youtube.com/@TasTasowski where you will find reports from electric vehicle rallies in Poland. I think you'll have fun :). We also have recumbent bike rallies, every year in a different place in Poland, and people from the Czech Republic and other countries come to us.

Very great video. The mid-drive motor seen in video has appr 13k on clock. So far good, only one burned controller due to water damage from microcrack in controller seal.
Tere. 13k see on hämmastav, sa ikka sõidad väga palju, mille üle rõõm, oled sa neid valgeid nailon/plastik hammakaid ka vahetanud? Kui tihti sa hooldust oled teinud? Sa enam youtubegas ei tegele, viimane video 10 kuud tagasi? Parimat.
Tere. Tänud sooja tagasiside eest. Väga meeldib e-rattaga sõita. Nailon hammikaid vahetanud ei ole. Pole ka päris lahti võtnud. Kui kontroller töö lõpetas siis võtsin mõlemalt poolt kaaned lahti. On näha kulumise jälgi, kuid hammikatelt ei ole hõõrdpindadelt tükikesi lahti veel võtnud. Mootori ketihammikasse on tulnud küll üliväike külgsuunaline loks, kuid see veel väga väike. Juba harjunud tiheda keti ja hammikate, köverate rattavõllide vahetusega. Märkasin, et raam millele algselt registri numbrit plaanisid on ikka saanud parajalt otstarbepõhist kasutust. Kui sul peaks oma projektidest mingi osad seisma jääma, oleksin huvitatud.
@@eestimoto316 Ja, kaks viimast aastast olen selle Enduro rattaga sõitnud päris priskelt, kui seda mõtlesid. Modifitseerinud kõvasti ka, tellisin kõvema taga vedrustuse, pole installida jõudnud, lamav ratas ootab ka natuke ümber tegemist. Seega kolme rattaga koguaeg leiab mingit nokitsemist. 80k selja taga nende kolmega kokku, pole kordagi teele jäänud ptüi-ptüi. Osasi ei tea kas üleliigsed, rohkem selline mõtteviis "kunagi kulub ära".
The main problem with these Chinese motors is poor quality rims and spokes. It's best to just buy the motor and look for a brand name rim and quality spokes and assemble the wheel yourself. My commuting bike total mileage was 24k miles. I got to ride 3k miles and the inside of the rim was cracked. I built a new wheel myself using the same spokes and brand rim (luckily they were strong) and rode 32k miles on it. The spokes never snapped once. I ordered a new througaxle v2 motor from Grin a year ago. Very satisfied. 8k mileage. And I just wanted to get a front motor so I don't have to worry about the spokes adjusting and the rim cracking. Thanks for stopping by 👍🙂

Wheel arches are very interesting!
Cleaner touring.

looks great! look forward to the daily record km video!

My 1000w hub ebike eats spokes. About 1 spoke per 100 miles. Made me so mad I got the BBSHD. That the current motor pulling the solar trailer.
