I am planning to buy "1000W Electric E Bike Conversion Kit 26 Front Wheel Motor Bicycle Hub 48V Aluminum Alloy Tool Kit" Is this compatible to "Battery 48V 16AH 13S5P Electric"? How much range can this set up cover? Thank you.
It's time I buy this kit... been watching awhile now and it's time I do it as my body is not liking the 30 mile runs I do on an old skool trek B series... its time I buy this kit.. And for 879.99 for the extras it's an absolute amazing bargain I need in my life now... I know im 2y past this post but Andy sir bloody well done for this... genuinely love how you explain it all for people like me to understand and get the best information for... thank you...
Mate this is seriously impressive, i've been looking at e-bikes for the past couple months but this is the only e-bike i've come across that meets all my demands. You should be very proud of yourself mate this is very impressive.
I put over 6k miles in my first year on a dillenger kit attached to a diamondback hybrid bike. If you are considering an e bike then do it you won't regret it.
Just put mtx kit on my bike 1500W 48V an I’m loosing power each time I crank the throttle after the first 2 seconds of having it on, got the pedal sensor on how you have yours put I have no washers do I need washers so the magnets don’t touch ? just don’t have the headlight what is causing this? As I didn’t see a headlight come with my kit so it’s not on is this the reason? I don’t know I’m lost
I've just bought a Carrera Kraken with hydraulic disc brakes with 27.5 wheels, got it for work and to play at a friend's farm so I'll probably end up giving this a go and see how it is.
Great job, I built my own mountain bike after seeing the incredibly cheap running gear on a quite expensive bike, if you look at the cost of the average electric bike and take off the electric component cost the basic bike parts are very cheap, plus most e bikes look like girls bikes, awful aesthetics, this way is so superior, great video, I will check out your kits!
It just needs a rim that's designed to suit a large hub - the rim can be dimpled or fitted with special eyelets to accommodate the steeper spoke angles, but they don't bother on these cheap crap kits.
Where can I get this exact kit and how much please? ,I've got a carrera hellcat with 8 rear gears so I'm sure it'll fit??,please let m know...many thanks.👍
I have over 4000 miles on the kit I bought from you in march no problems I used it most days I've bought another battery and do 100miles a day. The only problem I had was a slip on ice and I broke my wrist. But that was my fault
I built a twin suspension ebike using a 1500w hub kit and it's great for commuting to my work I'm a big guy and it pulls 29.5mph with me on it brilliant 👍🏻
@@montaguebarnabasltd Hi back and forward to work woz about 5 miles a day and after a couple of days the battery went down 1 bar so I just kept it topped up I noticed with the battery dropping one bar the output power went down quite a bit especially on hills so if you can afford it get a good quality battery 👍
How would the police know, they cannot check how many amp the motor consume on the spot. Even a 1500w motor could be street legal of the ESC limit the power available
Compared to an e scooter which is a straight up tug if spotted by the wrong copper, what's the odds of getting hassle on this if being ridden sensibly, as in peddling and keeping the speed down? I'm guessing this could go under the radar quite easily?

Prices include express shipping which is a lot for batteries, these kits produce a genuine 1500-2000W unlike a lot of the cheap crap on ebay...you also get a warranty. I think based on this the prices are competitive.

Trek Marlin 5 - £400 + £800 for the ebike kit and the cost of the labour to build it. Lets just say the labours free, so £1,200, but no dealer warranty.

If you have any solutions or questions I will send you my personal information. I'm totally serious !
Eh. 720 pounds, without the bike. Bought my motorcycle for the same amound haha. But this has different possitives and negatives, it just depends on what you want.
I've done 47 mile per hour down hill without a motor, just pure peddle power, anything over 30 miles per hour on a push bike can be pretty dangerous. 20 miles per hour is a nice speed up hill.
There's a few things I can't help but overlook in this build, like that dangling break cable, but other than that and a few other things, oh my gosh, what a clean install, here in the Bay Area you see so many cheap kit slapped on with zip ties and electrical tape, I'm glad to see people still take pride in their bike builds
Built six bikes using this kit, recommend 100 percent spot on done over 900miles on mine in last few months, any weather.Mounted my controller to top of frame with a small project box behind it to hide wires, fitted a switch to box to select whether peddle assist is on or off and a small tactile switch to break lever instead of using the supplied ebrakes.
Dave, what's the weight of this complete unit like? I'm interested in it but still want the ability to 'comfortably' ride also. I have a lightish bike already. Cheers
I built my own ebike about 1.5 years ago, cheap 1000W kit on a walmart mt bike. It'll do about 20 miles on eco mode, on full power it'll do 28 mph but kills the range. 30mph on a wallmart bike is.... interesting.
fantastic bike. I have my third electric bike now. My first one was at 750watt. Number two was the scooter 5000watt. My latest is an Enduro Leili speed 11.000watt 72volt 48Amp. It's amazing. I've always dreamed of a bike that I now have. Heavy weight over 50 kilos. Have used it on four trips. My God how fun. Have great respect for speed. So I've only been up on gear 3 out of 5. But it does almost 60Km / h in gear 3. Nice video you have. You make a lot of good electric bike movies.
Go to a university and ask if they have any abandoned bikes or dumpster dive. Crazy but true fact is people do toss good condition bikes. During this pandemic I decided to get a bike. I didn't buy one I either found parts tossed away or frames being thrown away. I've already ridden my 1987 Schwinn Le Tour over 100 miles during August. After I fixed it up because someone was tossing it away. Completely free bike. It runs great too. Next I'm looking to build an Ebike. Obviously won't be free.
Sweet man - Am on 36v going to 48 in summer all been well, geared hub though - Just out curiosity absolute full cost not forgetting folks, mug guards, tyres and front wheel?
The comments are very good. I had my experience with the Aston Rider kit, it came out less than 300usd with lifepo battery and it has been running without problems since I had it more than a year ago
I can be changed in the settings, theirs tutorials on youtube on this display on how to set it up, i recommend setting the Pas to 1 (default is 2) in settings so when on power level 1 its not putting out so much power, make it far more enjoyable to ride.
hi ive bought one of these 1500w kits off your website too. Can you make a video going through the settings a bit? i figured out how to change it from KM to Miles but thats about it. can screen brightness go down and how to reset the distance and riding time?
Is anyone bothered that riding this on road is illegal without insurance, registration, number plate, mot, helmet? These are motoring offences which could affect your car driving license. It would also be illegal to use this ebike on bike paths or mandatory cycle lanes. People seem unaware.
1500 watts is a good 2+ horsepower. As a skinny kid of about 150 lb I could hunch down over the handle bars and get a honda trail 90 up to over 50mph and touched 60mph a couple of times (probably had a slight tail wind). Me on the bike with the rack and the irrigation shovel and the mud would have been well over 400 pounds and the engine was rated for a max of 7hp or 5200 watts. (150 lb me was a goodly number of years ago...)
Hi, I have some questions before ordering a kit I’ve just made a video if you could take a look and let me know if it’s possible I would appreciate it! Thanks again love the video by the way
Seriously considering doing this to my trek, but then I have a motorbike with 175 bhp so do I really need it?! 😆 Now I've seen it though I can't unsee it 🤣👍
Hey, I just got my marlin 6 which is basically the same as the 5, I'm converting it with a 26-inch hub motor on the back like yours but I'm using the old rim that came with the kit, How fat do you think my tires should be at its max?? Also are you still running 26 and 29 inch rims? and what happened to the seat suspension post you had on there??
Why do your 2000-watt 48v direct drive hub motors kits. Only has KT 1000w controller with 12 mossfets. when other 2000w hub motors exactly the same kits. Has 2000w 48v KT controller with 18 mossfets. And are cheaper
Not necessarily. In the kit you're probably paying £50 for that small piece. I decent esc should provide speed so gradually that the nut shouldn't come lose like that
Defo! Always fit a torque arm, you can get one off ebay for £10. Worth every penny. Its like spending all that time and money building a fast bike then riding on bald tyres with splits in the sides!
i know a bit late, but have to call you out for the misleading clickbait THE BEST EBIKE CONVERSION KIT...naw hub motors suck, mid drive motors have been around 5+ years, far superior, torque, power, performance than any front or rear hub motor. bafang baby. cool that you DIY it tho, better than premade bikes. always go custom, not premade.
I recognise you can go that fast on a regular bike if you are a good rider. The problem I see with this is any idiot will be able to go that fast in any road conditions. I might have been a bit too harsh I don't know. I hope I'll be proven wrong.
Hello can you give me the details of your conversion kit im afraid the sizes I have also trek marlin 7 medium frame 29 wheels..I want to convert also an ebike..thanks..
Love the bike but you are breaking the law by riding it on the roads. 250w is the legal limit and at pedal assist (not pedelec). Not sure you should be promoting illegal use.
In what country? Also, 250w is insanely low. Legislation is the same as what you mentioned in Aus. Hopefully it will change to something more realistic in the not too distant future.
Jimmeh B I agree with you mate. That’s how it is in the uk unfortunately. You are allowed pedal assistance up to 15.5mph, anything above that is considered a motorbike/pedelec. Crazy I know.
Bought a broken 250W bafang middrive bike for 300 bucks, the driver and battery were rubbish. Swapped battery with 60A capable 20AH and that motor can easily take 1500-1600W contsant. Ive maxed it out at 2500W but it snaps chains bc its 10 speed and the chains cant really take the stress. Been riding it for half a year and onlw swapped 8 chains and 2 rear sprockets bc of the crazy torque. I have 52t in the front... 40-45mph but down hill it goes upto 60 i belive
Power tool batteries use the same high output batteries in ebikes. Alot of people are using laptop batteries not realizing laptop batteries are LOW output and will not make you go fast. If you know what you're doing then power tool batteries will save you hundreds.
@@mattjohnston5807 i only said it because years ago photonicinductions shown a video on how to replace a single cell in a power tool battery pack to save u replacing the whole pack and save u tens of pounds ( £100 for some branded packs )
oh no of course ud have to still buy the amp ratings that matches the other cells ,but still cheaper than buying a whole new pack when u can just order a pack of brand new cells and fit them into the same battery pack and its BMS, adding to that, the governments should make battery retailers and manufactures give money back to u if u return the used and damaged cells back to them, like we did with milk bottles and how they now do with plastic bottles ! itll encourage people not to throw batteries away in landfills and the companies will have the materials needed to make more new cells :)
@@girlsdrinkfeck No joke, the amount of thrown away batteries is just crazy. The battery business is a huge business like the oil business though so they want to make money off of people and not give them a good product usually. The only thing holding graphene tech back is the fact it will put alot of people out of business if they started manufacturing graphene batteries. Hopefully lithium batteries will just be an inferior battery soon.
Ok. I want an e-bike for my 31 mile commute to work but the 15.5mph is just too slow. 20mph top speed might do, but 25-30mph and I would ditch my car completely. How much would it cost? Not looking to do anything more speed wise. I only need 2nd car to commute and would live to ditch it entirely: no insurance, road tax, MOT, FUEL or maintenance costs.
The good thing is , people can get in touch with you should they have install problems , or need spares etc , you can’t do that with China , and Halfords seem not that good at getting bits for the e bikes they sell , not good the uk market for ebikes , when problems occur, of course unless you spend thousands as apposed to hundreds , on a bike cheers shaneweightman uk
So is this UK legal ? Been thinking of building me a bike for getting about on as I live dead in the country and there's no public transport out here need at least 50 miles out of it
Screw that I use my big ass pick up to haul my bike around and then I ride my bike when I want. I’m always gonna burn fossil fuels because climate changes joke.
Why are there no dedicated cycling shops doing these converted bikes for the average person who wants an ebike but there own bikes. People who don't have £3000 for a pre made overpriced ebike. Crazy 😩we all go cycling if you can afford to buy the damn things.
500w with battery kit is £670 how's that cost effective you can buy an ebike for £689 brand new (ranger electric mountain bike) maybe im wrong maybe what your selling is way better.
Im gonna buy this kaibrite 26inch 1000watt 48v conversion kit rear Wheel 7 speed but wil it work on an 48v 13amp hour lithium battery because its over 600euro before im ordering i wanna know its kinda stupid that the seller say's you need a battery that uses their spec's but 48volt is 48volt right but if its nominale current is like 11.6amp i cant use an 13amp hour battery right please help me out im still learning

@@markspringthorpe8755 Yes the battery came a couple of week later, had to pay £30 pound dutyl
I built my own ebike about 1.5 years ago, cheap 1000W kit on a walmart mt bike. It'll do about 20 miles on eco mode, on full power it'll do 28 mph but kills the range. 30mph on a wallmart bike is.... interesting.
fantastic bike. I have my third electric bike now. My first one was at 750watt. Number two was the scooter 5000watt. My latest is an Enduro Leili speed 11.000watt 72volt 48Amp. It's amazing. I've always dreamed of a bike that I now have. Heavy weight over 50 kilos. Have used it on four trips. My God how fun. Have great respect for speed. So I've only been up on gear 3 out of 5. But it does almost 60Km / h in gear 3. Nice video you have. You make a lot of good electric bike movies.
Are conversion kits legal ?
What was the price of the 11.000w kit?
Has the 11000 wat leli been reliable for you how is it holding up 2 years later?
Hi Andy, can you supply a 27.5 wheel?
Wish i could afford one. Im so sick of being poor
Go to a university and ask if they have any abandoned bikes or dumpster dive. Crazy but true fact is people do toss good condition bikes. During this pandemic I decided to get a bike. I didn't buy one I either found parts tossed away or frames being thrown away. I've already ridden my 1987 Schwinn Le Tour over 100 miles during August. After I fixed it up because someone was tossing it away. Completely free bike. It runs great too. Next I'm looking to build an Ebike. Obviously won't be free.
Look all over market place offer up exc I got a nice bike for 35$ got my electric kit on Amazon for less then 600$
@@nico-sm7xo How much power? Know where to get a 1500 Watt kit with good torque?
Not even a complete 1000W hub kit for like £200?
Use a truck battery .
How do the piddly little disc brakes hold up? Must cook them in seconds! Looks mental though!
Sweet man - Am on 36v going to 48 in summer all been well, geared hub though - Just out curiosity absolute full cost not forgetting folks, mug guards, tyres and front wheel?
got a link to that kit/motor? Im looking for a similar kit but can find any
I would love me advise on my bike suitability. Great video

If it will fit 9 speed shimano than won’t it also fit 11 speed mountain bike cassettes?
i have this kit and put a shimano 11 speed cassette on it no problem
michael fisher Thank you!
Merry Christmas mate 🎄
The comments are very good. I had my experience with the Aston Rider kit, it came out less than 300usd with lifepo battery and it has been running without problems since I had it more than a year ago
Is it legal to put a conversion kit on my mountain bike?
For a seccond, the thumbnail looked like a sam pilgrim video
Do you get the display in km/h or only mp/h please let me know before I buy it
I can be changed in the settings, theirs tutorials on youtube on this display on how to set it up, i recommend setting the Pas to 1 (default is 2) in settings so when on power level 1 its not putting out so much power, make it far more enjoyable to ride.
What frame should I get for feeling better at 36 mph lol thanks
hi ive bought one of these 1500w kits off your website too. Can you make a video going through the settings a bit? i figured out how to change it from KM to Miles but thats about it. can screen brightness go down and how to reset the distance and riding time?
play around with the buttons try a combo with up and down
Email me, I have a PDF manual for the display. I will also put it on the website when I’m back to work.
Good way to get into the game. Happy New Year Andy. All the best in 2020
Is anyone bothered that riding this on road is illegal without insurance, registration, number plate, mot, helmet? These are motoring offences which could affect your car driving license. It would also be illegal to use this ebike on bike paths or mandatory cycle lanes. People seem unaware.
in the enduro bike ya have, what battery do yoiu have in that one? i ordered myself a 48v 39ah battery
Skinnwalk3r it’s not the torque it’s cos they build the wheels shit in china. It’s worth re-tensioning the wheel yourself or take it somewhere
Too big, it probably won't fit...
Why not get 52v? Or go big on a 72v battery?
So how much for this kit including batteries ?
I love this I am going to get to work on getting one of these together
Do it, get the ebike smile, everyone smiles as they hit the throttle the first time.
@@HelloWorld-ns7gt really cool but here its 250w max and u need helmet, plate registration otherwise the bike is confiscated and u get serious fines.
@@Boemel This is just how once again how the government taxes the poor.
@@Boemel Where are you from?
1500 watts is a good 2+ horsepower.
As a skinny kid of about 150 lb I could hunch down over the handle bars and get a honda trail 90 up to over 50mph and touched 60mph a couple of times (probably had a slight tail wind). Me on the bike with the rack and the irrigation shovel and the mud would have been well over 400 pounds and the engine was rated for a max of 7hp or 5200 watts. (150 lb me was a goodly number of years ago...)
Hi Andy
Really interested in buying this kit, im a heavy rider 150 kg, i have a marin pine with 2.8 tyres on. Would this be suitable for me?
You are gonna get a lot of flat tires.
@@Johnwilliams-th9hq That's ruuuuude 😂😂😂
@@shuaibabdinur1851 I am speaking from experience.
Hi, I have some questions before ordering a kit I’ve just made a video if you could take a look and let me know if it’s possible I would appreciate it! Thanks again love the video by the way
Very interesting, looking forward to your build
Seriously considering doing this to my trek, but then I have a motorbike with 175 bhp so do I really need it?! 😆 Now I've seen it though I can't unsee it 🤣👍
Wow so fast I’ll be too scared to do that on a bicycle ...
So Power Assist is Level 1 at 250W, & when you change the power assist level it changes the motor wattage??? Please tell me how to do this 😊
merry christmas guys
What Size Frame Is that TREK MARLIN 5 ?
Want to build that bike using your kit ...but need make sure get right frame size for that battery
Hey, I just got my marlin 6 which is basically the same as the 5, I'm converting it with a 26-inch hub motor on the back like yours but I'm using the old rim that came with the kit, How fat do you think my tires should be at its max?? Also are you still running 26 and 29 inch rims? and what happened to the seat suspension post you had on there??
btw fantastic video, great to see that it still holds up, 1500W with 52v is insane I reach like 54km/h, any more and I shit myself
@@fups8222 I reach 70 kmh (38-40 mph) on my 2000 watt nominal and I feel great ahah except that my eyes start watering!!
@@gursisingh1940 what bike are you using?
Why do your 2000-watt 48v direct drive hub motors kits.
Only has KT 1000w controller with 12 mossfets.
when other 2000w hub motors exactly the same kits.
Has 2000w 48v KT controller with 18 mossfets.
And are cheaper
Im glad that you mentioned the torque arm as its a very important piece at 1500W for safekeeping of the frame and yourself.
Not necessarily. In the kit you're probably paying £50 for that small piece. I decent esc should provide speed so gradually that the nut shouldn't come lose like that
Defo! Always fit a torque arm, you can get one off ebay for £10. Worth every penny. Its like spending all that time and money building a fast bike then riding on bald tyres with splits in the sides!
@@HubbHubbs what a a torque arm
i know a bit late, but have to call you out for the misleading clickbait THE BEST EBIKE CONVERSION KIT...naw hub motors suck, mid drive motors have been around 5+ years, far superior, torque, power, performance than any front or rear hub motor. bafang baby. cool that you DIY it tho, better than premade bikes. always go custom, not premade.
Yeah in the damp my 1500w does get sketchy above 35mph
al these ebike riders not adhering to the regulations will just give riding a bike a bad name once people will start dieing.
dying I mean
I recognise you can go that fast on a regular bike if you are a good rider. The problem I see with this is any idiot will be able to go that fast in any road conditions. I might have been a bit too harsh I don't know. I hope I'll be proven wrong.
Yeah I rarely go above 25mph, but enjoy opening up when down empty paths. There are people willing to take big risks, but that isn’t me.
@@paulollerhead941 What kind of frame and Ebike conversion kit do you use to go that fast???
Hello can you give me the details of your conversion kit im afraid the sizes I have also trek marlin 7 medium frame 29 wheels..I want to convert also an ebike..thanks..
Love the bike but you are breaking the law by riding it on the roads. 250w is the legal limit and at pedal assist (not pedelec). Not sure you should be promoting illegal use.
In what country?
Also, 250w is insanely low. Legislation is the same as what you mentioned in Aus. Hopefully it will change to something more realistic in the not too distant future.
Jimmeh B I agree with you mate. That’s how it is in the uk unfortunately. You are allowed pedal assistance up to 15.5mph, anything above that is considered a motorbike/pedelec. Crazy I know.
@@poketfull so what if I pedal at 35mph ? Is that illegal ? Silly tit
How much does that conversion kit cost then?
Im after a new 36v battery ,can you recommend where i should get one from in uk please?
Bought a broken 250W bafang middrive bike for 300 bucks, the driver and battery were rubbish. Swapped battery with 60A capable 20AH and that motor can easily take 1500-1600W contsant. Ive maxed it out at 2500W but it snaps chains bc its 10 speed and the chains cant really take the stress.
Been riding it for half a year and onlw swapped 8 chains and 2 rear sprockets bc of the crazy torque. I have 52t in the front... 40-45mph but down hill it goes upto 60 i belive
would u do a video on DIY replacing the cells in these prebuild battery packs ? dunno if ya viewers would find it usefull.
Power tool batteries use the same high output batteries in ebikes. Alot of people are using laptop batteries not realizing laptop batteries are LOW output and will not make you go fast. If you know what you're doing then power tool batteries will save you hundreds.
@@mattjohnston5807 i only said it because years ago photonicinductions shown a video on how to replace a single cell in a power tool battery pack to save u replacing the whole pack and save u tens of pounds ( £100 for some branded packs )
@@girlsdrinkfeck Right on, thought I'd warn you just in case. I almost got suckered into getting a bunch of laptop batteries lol.
oh no of course ud have to still buy the amp ratings that matches the other cells ,but still cheaper than buying a whole new pack when u can just order a pack of brand new cells and fit them into the same battery pack and its BMS, adding to that, the governments should make battery retailers and manufactures give money back to u if u return the used and damaged cells back to them, like we did with milk bottles and how they now do with plastic bottles ! itll encourage people not to throw batteries away in landfills and the companies will have the materials needed to make more new cells :)
@@girlsdrinkfeck No joke, the amount of thrown away batteries is just crazy. The battery business is a huge business like the oil business though so they want to make money off of people and not give them a good product usually. The only thing holding graphene tech back is the fact it will put alot of people out of business if they started manufacturing graphene batteries. Hopefully lithium batteries will just be an inferior battery soon.
Ok. I want an e-bike for my 31 mile commute to work but the 15.5mph is just too slow. 20mph top speed might do, but 25-30mph and I would ditch my car completely. How much would it cost? Not looking to do anything more speed wise. I only need 2nd car to commute and would live to ditch it entirely: no insurance, road tax, MOT, FUEL or maintenance costs.
The good thing is , people can get in touch with you should they have install problems , or need spares etc , you can’t do that with China , and Halfords seem not that good at getting bits for the e bikes they sell , not good the uk market for ebikes , when problems occur, of course unless you spend thousands as apposed to hundreds , on a bike cheers shaneweightman uk
So is this UK legal ? Been thinking of building me a bike for getting about on as I live dead in the country and there's no public transport out here need at least 50 miles out of it
Screw that I use my big ass pick up to haul my bike around and then I ride my bike when I want. I’m always gonna burn fossil fuels because climate changes joke.
Why are there no dedicated cycling shops doing these converted bikes for the average person who wants an ebike but there own bikes. People who don't have £3000 for a pre made overpriced ebike. Crazy 😩we all go cycling if you can afford to buy the damn things.
What front rim have you got on this bike? Also where do you get the rear torque bracket.
Hi mate do you still sell bike kits .
Yes www.kirbebike.com
ANDY U LEGEND . on my racing road bike i do 45mph + doesn't feel that fast though .
) xlwll winner= 414
500w with battery kit is £670 how's that cost effective you can buy an ebike for £689 brand new (ranger electric mountain bike) maybe im wrong maybe what your selling is way better.
Iv built a replica of this, what's the best (safest) way to clean..? The rain has never effected it.. But 🤷♂️....
what is with the screaming at 35 MPH. I used to ride a BMX about 45-50 MPH down pedestrian packed parks, its the reason to ride.
Probably the tyres! They were off road tyres on this bike.
Im gonna buy this kaibrite 26inch 1000watt 48v conversion kit rear Wheel 7 speed but wil it work on an 48v 13amp hour lithium battery because its over 600euro before im ordering i wanna know its kinda stupid that the seller say's you need a battery that uses their spec's but 48volt is 48volt right but if its nominale current is like 11.6amp i cant use an 13amp hour battery right please help me out im still learning
Is it waterproof 💦 ?
Hi andy. I bought one of these and it made a clunk noise and stopped working going uphill. It has resistance on it now and an error. Any ideas
