www.johnnynerd... for all your custom E-bike help and components :) Motor- www.johnnynerd... Battery- www.johnnynerd... Chain upgrade- www.johnnynerd...
I have had that bike since 2015. Best fitting bike for me, that I have ever owned. My wife and I tour and explore 20-25 miles at a time. Just thinking about motorizing both of our bikes, to make it a little easier to go further. Its like the video was made for me 😁. But I need to save up a bit first
I am no nerd...(wish I was) im just here trying to save some money on these ridiculous fuel prices. I have no idea 99 percent of the time what the hell your talking about, however , I find the community is friendly and mostly always willing to help out in some shape or form. Its much appreciated 👍
I love your shoes. Thought they were Saucony at first but the logo is a bit different. But then again they have a few variations of their logo so I think you have Saucony. Nice shoes.
Just turned 50 last month and took my Staight 8 Electra out of storage. Rode it once and hit some hills where I now live and put it away again. Watched ebike videos and was just about to drop $2000-$3500 for a new ebike then stumbled on your TH-cam channel. Saved me money! Is it reasonable to think I could convert my Electra?
Hey, thanks for that. Same to you. Any chance you could delve into some of the challenges and obstacles you may have endured during some of these builds.
Do you sell total kits to convert to electric… like not just a motor but all the special tools and what not? Or can we just get by with some wrenches? Do you have any suggestions on budget bikes to buy that suit converting well?
I just had a BBSHD on my Montague Paratrooper. Soooo much different then my Madmods. I got it up to 38mph. I need to get a chain guard for it, my pants keeps getting caught in the chain
You should do a ebike upgrade for the ribble ultra slr that needs a e bike version badly , im hoping mahle x20 gets put on it because it's lighter than the x35 but at present doesn't look like any chance.of a ribble ultra e bike
You record videos in advance? This in February? I do the same thing. I have videos that are over two years old right now that I still haven't posted online. Anyway I have an appointment with you on Saturday. I have over 600 miles and I think it's time for a chain replacement because I think I have been keeping my mid drive in too high of a gear at startup, especially in assist 5/5. Gear 4/7 clearly is too high. I learned recently gear 3 is better. Mid Drives can be in lower gears than ordinary manual bikes.
Fellow nerd from the UK here, love your channel keep up the good work. Do you programme your kits at all? Curious what settings a Jedi master would use?
My bike shop guy told me that Amazon Bafang is different (lower, they specifically referred to it as “Amazon quality”) quality than the Bafang they order from their source. Is there truth to a claim like this?
Hi Johnny!!! New subscriber here... i just wanna know if Hiland 24",4" fat kid bike i recently found in amazon can be converted to e-bike? Thanks in advance for the reply...
I'm currently scouring the used market for a nice hard tail. I want to get at least, hydraulic brakes and a better front fork. I'm looking at Trek Marlins, Giant Talons, GT Avalanche, and a really sweet 2015 Specialized Crave pro 29r. Possible for you to help me narrow my scope for a 1000 watt conversion? I won't be offended if you think I should book a consult.
The only thing he may want to do is put in a lower gear, and if he indeed has a 14- tooth high gear change it to an 11, or 9- And why’ll he’s at it might as well change the low gear to around a 50, so you can extremely easily pull up the steepest hill hundreds of pounds with a cart attached *if that is something that’s a possibility*
Can confirm. Using a BBS-HD, 42 tooth on the front, 42 for the lowest gear. On the former build, the lowest gear was about 28 or so, and I could pull bad hills with a B.O.B. Trailer with a full load of groceries. The derailleur can cope with a 46 tooth lowest gear, if needed.
How come you get 35 plus mph out off your bike build but I've done 2 bbshd builds and only get 30mph I have now done one with a asi controller and get 40 plus
oh hey there, this is YET AGAIN another BBSHD kit video with no installation information. FYI: most commercial mid drive bikes DO have a throttle. johhnnyZZZout
another UK nerd here - keep up the good work!!

I want it just like that.I had the same Raleigh.

John’s a great guy bought my kit from him BBSHD installed it myself
Haha you are in a rare mood today brother amped out on coffee right on John I'm a poet and don't even know it
Nerds of the world arise.
Wow that turned out really good. Pretty much perfect imo.

Does anybody know how that could work? Wondering if there’s a difference between a 2015 and 2017 Raleigh MTB bottom bracket (2017 Raleigh Tokul

Would you be able to put a BBS02 on a 2017 Raleigh Tokul 2? Is the bottom bracket compatible or will there need to be some adaptors? Thanks!
Hi there can you make video with programming I know there is few vid just want to see it from your perspective thanks for your content very useful 👍🏼

Looking to build a simple bike. Have you ever put a kit on a single speed bike? Is this a bad idea?
Hi Johnny,
I have a 2015 Trek Top Fuel EX7. I’m going to buy Bafang BBSHD mid drive kit. Does the battery fit on the down tube?
Thanks

I’m currently building a nukeproof full sus with bfang kit
Is it possible to make a video on bafang programming? I want to program my bbshd but am unsure of proper settings and what everything means
Check out my program product page on my website for a link to a great programming guide.
@@JohnnyNerdOut ok will do thank you I appreciate it!

Bought two 9 speed Ebike chains, so now have three to wax up at a time. The crock pot takes an hour to get up to temp…. So it saves time…
July is my target consultation/order/build time - any blackout dates ?
Yes! First week of July

Nerd here with a BBS02 on order.

Nerd? Oh Ok! Smart guy works for me. Old guy excited to convert his 26 year old original Cannondale.
What would be your cost to me to build a clone M-340 electric fat trike?
How do get a kit. I have a surrly 20 yrs old. Thanks first time channel
Myself and many other vendors sell them 😀
Where can i finde a 27 inch fat bike frame thats not a thousand dollars??? Used is fine i have every thing else.
Is it a thousand bucks into it? Or $24 hundred bucks. Another great video

I saw you there
Love you bro. No homo.

I guess I am a nerd. When I see someone with a prebuilt ebike, I always ask how many watts is your motor . They all say they have no idea.
Don't sniff your nose with the microphone so close
