engineers are bad at building things. mechanics / tinkers / hobbyist are way better. Engineers are better at paperwork then them. Thats what engineers do: paperwork.
Nontouchable Remember that it's only considered a crime if you're caught. 😂 JK,don't break the law kids,jail or prison is a place where no one wants to be.
@Got_nuffin_on_me well I live in America.. And I'm sure there's laws for bicycles with electric motors on it.. Not enforced.. So we do what we want.. 🇺🇸 For the most part
I built an ebike that's too fast. Here's how I define "too fast": Every time I ride it, I blow spokes on the rear wheel. How you get away with a solid rear suspension, I don't know. Maybe all your roads and paths are smooth? In Denver and Lakewood Colorado, USA, riding in the city is so rough, you need a full-suspension bike to go over 50kpm. I've had mine up to 65kph. Pavement has potholes, buckled seams, debris, etc. Even with fat tires, and seat suspension, it blows spokes all the time. You have a very practical bike, and I'm glad it works so well in your area. Well thought-out.
I went thru the exact issue. I blew out spokes on a hardtail only lasted 10 miles then switched to full suspension 3600 miles later rim brake worn out rim walls motor still good now switched to disc brake with new hubmotor 6800 miles, my mid drive is on standby since 4yrs way too much torque only use in as backup if other ebikes go down.
ripping spokes has 0 to do with actual torque and more how you mount your spokes. they are really short and get mounted in a wierd angle they were never engineered for. thus if you dont take measurements against that they definitly will rip. I added a sort of "washer" underneath every spoke on both ends and used rims that dont straighten your spokes at all. Thus the angle doesnt hurt them so much. That way your spokes will survive to your other question, we have great roads in germany, dont need any suspension here.
@@Pryside It's not the torque or how it's mounted that breaks my spokes. It's all the potholes and bumps that break my spokes. The city roads and paths in my city are so horrible that to drive anything over them with spokes will destroy them. What I've done is I bought motorcycle spokes that are twice as thick as the original bicycle spokes. Now I wonder if hitting a bump will rip the spoke heads our of my rims? I don't think it's worth anyone's effort to build an ebike that goes faster than 50kph without full-suspension. I plan to eventually have someone custom-weld a frame to my specifications. This frame will have full-suspension. BTW, I noticed in your video that your town has some very nice, smooth streets and paths. Where I live, the temps range from -20F up to 110F. This annual temperature variation, plus freezing moisture within cracks, destroys pavement.
I’ve got a black max 750W cruiser with 20” wheels, $1,600 ... This bike literally pulls little wheelies with my 220lb frame , it actually goes 25 mph, just 5mph over the listed speed and frankly scared me for the first week I owned it.. I get looks all day long and a minimum of 3 people will thumbs up or tell me what a cool bike it is. So far I only have just under 1,000 miles but ZERO issues. These things are absolutely the coolest invention since bread and butter.

Very cool I had the idea to build an ebike for a while but never the knowledge but watching this gave me a lot of motivation and ideas to start ... great work keep it up
E-bikes are a delightful hobby. It's a right bloody shame that the authorities are so hard-assed about it here in Canada. I've been threatened with prison sentences for building e-bikes, and even had many thousands of dollars worth of my hobby equipment stolen by the police--home invasions, numerous counts of grand theft, threatened with prison, essentially gangstalked over e-bikes. We're a fucked up country.
@@devilsoffspring5519 maybe is about how you ride, If you keep a low profile most of the time they don't give a shit, but if you're the kind of rider speeding all the time, getting on the sidewalks, reproducing music on speakers and with a shit ton of led color lights, they will go after you
@@noericardo1490 No it's not. I mostly just rode mine like a normal bike and never get in anyone's way or make a nuisance of myself. I'm not that kind of person. THEY are.
Having broken an aluminum frame a few times carrying a heavy battery on the top tube, I recommend using a steel frame for your custom build... unless you have a downhill bike as the donor which is much stronger than most other Al mountain bikes. The slight weight difference will not be noticed.

I've had an ebike for 2 days. Gotta say, this summer is going to be more fun! I went with the RadRunner 1 with center console for storage. It'll get me to work in 15 minutes vs 7 minutes in my car(with good lights). Looking forward to saving gas and having fun at the same time!
Interested in building a bike similar to this. I hope Leo comes back and uploads the build videos as I have so many questions but it's been nearly 7 months now.
Amazing work of art, this is what inspire me to make of myself an engineer. Hope you continúe this route and maybe think of an ev road legal high range low weight car
I built my ebike last year, I've got over 4000miles on it, never had a problem ever except for flat tires but other than that it's perfect 👌 I can reach 38mph and I get about 30-40miles out of a charge.. I love my bike xoxoxo
@@Pryside your right.. I'm a mechanic and since I been building ebikes I don't drive cars no more.. cars SUCK.. ebikes r a way more efficient mode of transportation.. for sure

Really EXITED for the next Video !! I want to build my Own Ebike to once this Covid Lockdown is over … Your next video will be really helpful as im very new to Ebikes.
Great work Leo. This is amazing. Quite a good commuter for anyone. The price is more reasonable and it’s more inspiring than anything you can buy on the market! I believe a big thick thru axel design for the motor would be nice. Your solution was very smooth too, but for doing wheelies you probably want the modulation and control of a disc brake. (That intro was sick by the way!)
Awesome! My bike is really similar but with less refinements. It's a 1500W leafbike motor, with 18 fet basic controller. 74km/h with only 48V! :o (fully tucked) Really great acceleration when I set it to 70-140 A. And I'm currently building a torque arm, I agree that this is the weak point! I do not use any Regen braking yet because with the standard Torque Arm can't hold the torque in both directions. These things are so much fun!
Also I've changed both disk brakes for 203mm, braking is perfect. And I'm waiting for some larger tires to have the ultimate grip in the city! Maxxis DTH 26x2.3 (58mm), originally BMX tires, can't wait to try that out
thats really cool. yeah definitely invest the time in building a great torque arm, its really worth it when you never have to worry about anything mechanical on these hubmotor ebikes :)
@@Phantogram2 I've complained about this for years here in Canada, a pedal-biker gets completely overlooked because he's pedalling, but an ebike going over 32 km/h is an "offense". Nothing but dirty looks, raided workshops and thousands of dollars in stolen property courtesy of the constabulary. But, in Canada, serial rapists gets ignored and ebikes are confiscated along with a prison warning.
Hey man! I’m really interested it your build process. I want to build myself a second EV with these parts. Can you go over the build process and what exact you used?
Its so easy actually here an idea i got this one www.ebike-bausatz.eu/499643/highpower_komplett_e-bike_umbausatz_ayw_standardmotor_250w-2800w_fur_steckkassette_lcd8h_akku_lg
I have 2 upgrades I can reccomend put the front and back brakes to one lever so that's less wire to worry about and use wireless shifting save soo much space and very good and reliable
i think project-based learning is the real deal, compared to theory based learning you get in University! building projects is the Ultimate booster when it comes to knowledge. you get to understand deeply what these Units actually means... grats bro loved the build. you should focus on CAD designs to make your Bike more personalized i believe you have great future ahead of you.

Wow ich freue mich mega auf die neuen Videos. Ich hab die diesem Video mehr über Physik und Embedded Systems gelernt als in meiner gesamten Schulzeit. Ich finde es so gut das du uns die genauen Werte sagst, welche du benutzt. Damit kriegt man ein extrem gutes Gefühl für "Dimensionen". Und danke dass du auch von deinen Misserfolgen berichtest, also was funktioniert hat und was nicht, damit wir nicht die selben Fehler machen müssen.
danke, freut mich dass es dir gefällt. In dem Bike wird es erst später wenn ich mir einen Bike computer baue mehr auf embedded eingegangen, da das bike im jetztigen zustand recht dumm ist was funktionen angeht. :) Aber das ist eig auch das was mich immer motiviert, die technik über dich ich so lern im realen leben einzusetzen.
Ich hab mir auch ein e bike selbst gebaut, zwar „nur“ 1000w mit 50km/h top Speed und hab mich schon gefragt wann du ein Video über ein komplett selbstgebautes machst😉. Mein bike hat auch einen Rücksitz und ein selbst gebautes Licht, ... und ich kann wirklich jedem empfehlen auch so etwas zu bauen, es ist günstig und ihr könnt wirklich alles machen was ihr wollt, lasst euch halt nicht erwischen. Paar Daten zu dem Fahrrad: Ich habe für meinen Umbau ca. 300€ gezahlt und bin schon 1500km damit gefahren, benutze 2 6s Lipos in Reihe, da das einfach das billigste und einfachste war. Ich habe ein billiges Kit mit lcd Display, Felge, hubmotor, Steuergerät,... verwendet. Funktioniert prima. Das einzige das mich stört ist, dass wenn ich Gas gebe, braucht es einen kurzen Moment bis ich fahre, ist nicht schlimm nur für wheelies ist’s unpraktisch. Übrigens kann ich für so ein Projekt ein 3d Drucker empfehlen, ein ender 3 ist dafür völlig ausreichend.
Wie nice freut mich richtig. Endlich mal einer der auch n zweisitzer gleich baut :D Lipos sind zwar nice, aber wenn man kein zugriff auf n spotwelder hat tuts n fertiger ebike akku auch. Lipo zellen sind außer für hohen discharge für nix wirklich gut und halten leider nich allzu lang.
Leo Pryside Ich weiß, da ich auch kein bms eingebaut hab, muss ich sie immer am balancer Laden und ich hab auch vor mir einen fertigen Ebike Akku zu kaufen, hatte ich bisher nur nicht gemacht, da ich einfach nicht so viel Geld dafür ausgeben wollte. Und ich bin tatsächlich auch überrascht das der Akku sich noch nicht aufgebläht hat oder Ähnliches.
Fahren ohne Zulassung und Betriebserlaubnis, wahrscheinlich auch noch ohne Führerschein. Was für eine großartige Idee, und was für eine tolle Empfehlung. Wenn die in Verkehr in dickes Porsche esjuwie die Vorfahrt nimmt, und du danach im Rollstuhl sitzt, kannst du ihm noch die Kratzer im Lack bezahlen. Lohnt sich wirklich, sowas anstelle eines S-Pedelec zu nehmen, was du dann auch ganz legal fahren darfst.
I knew a guy who bought a motor off ebay, got two laptop batteries and modified a mtb bike. That thing can do 50km/h with no peddling, which is good in case any police cars show up.
thank you for sharing your build experience. I just began my journey with electric vehicles. I want a small portable bike that i can use to get to my hunting spots quietly. it doesn't need to travel far. It would be great if it had power to drag a deer. It can be slow. these are all the opposite traits bikes are being built for. I'm guessing small wheels are a good choice. I like the step through designs. I also think I probably want 2 wheel drive. if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I will be looking more at building my own since your video motivated me.
This is really cool my Friend built his own ebike and it goes around 40mph and he build a huge battery he can go top speed for like 100 miles give or take a few
Respect man don't stop doing videos the're rly awensome and smart , I live in Austria and I already had a E-Bike build which was about 1000W but it was stolen now I wanna build the same bike as u have make pls a tutorial Video how u did it and what are your battery specs and how do u order from Aliexpress so expensive things? in Austria u should pay a lot for VAT like tax

I have ridden my trike with a 1000 watt front motor for over 2000 MILES in the past year. Wore out my tires! My trike is my PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION at 48-50 kph or 28-30 mph. My range is 30 miles with no pedalling with a 25 Amp Hour battery. All basic stuff. I do not have the pedal assist hooked up as I am handicapped in my legs. Everyone should have one. Just learn how to ride, have safety equipment and enjoy. I built it with few instructions. Florida has no rules really as long as it is a pedalled vehicle. I do not.need a car. The only problem is rain! Lol! If I had put this on a two wheeler, I could easily get 40 mph.
Hey what's up man your e-bike is very thorough will put together I like it it's not overly bulky it has everything it needs to in order to make a proper commute I love you a great work I'm here in the states just gotten into cycling for the last 2 years now I have an e-bike as well

@@Phantogram2 I've complained about this for years here in Canada, a pedal-biker gets completely overlooked because he's pedalling, but an ebike going over 32 km/h is an "offense". Nothing but dirty looks, raided workshops and thousands of dollars in stolen property courtesy of the constabulary.
But, in Canada, serial rapists gets ignored and ebikes are confiscated along with a prison warning.
That is so sweet. I am going to watch you for more good information.
Nice Video and great Project
thanks :)
Dude i did this also on my yt with up to 44mph but that work you put in, is rly respectable 😳 You are a crazy good guy! Love your content bro.
I think you inspired at great scott electronics projects.
Bicycle burnouts!!!! Yes.
Hey man! I’m really interested it your build process. I want to build myself a second EV with these parts. Can you go over the build process and what exact you used?
Its so easy actually here an idea i got this one www.ebike-bausatz.eu/499643/highpower_komplett_e-bike_umbausatz_ayw_standardmotor_250w-2800w_fur_steckkassette_lcd8h_akku_lg
I have 2 upgrades I can reccomend put the front and back brakes to one lever so that's less wire to worry about and use wireless shifting save soo much space and very good and reliable
So when you click the bike lever they both activate and try get tubeless tires a lot more reliable
It's like hearing a young Arnold talking about ebike builds, engineering stuff etc. Incredible!
Leo speaks better English and with less accent than Arnold ever has even at his present age and having lived in LA all these years.
i think project-based learning is the real deal, compared to theory based learning you get in University!
building projects is the Ultimate booster when it comes to knowledge. you get to understand deeply what these Units actually means...
grats bro loved the build.
you should focus on CAD designs to make your Bike more personalized i believe you have great future ahead of you.
11.9kV... have you ever thought about adding wings? jk
Where I live I'm limited to 4kV and I'll have to get a license plus a plate 😅
Kv is a motor constant for measuring the back-emf. It tells you how fast the motor can spin a what voltage. Has nothing to do with Kilovolts. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants
Ready for the next video! Thinking of doing a setup like this!
Wow ich freue mich mega auf die neuen Videos. Ich hab die diesem Video mehr über Physik und Embedded Systems gelernt als in meiner gesamten Schulzeit. Ich finde es so gut das du uns die genauen Werte sagst, welche du benutzt. Damit kriegt man ein extrem gutes Gefühl für "Dimensionen". Und danke dass du auch von deinen Misserfolgen berichtest, also was funktioniert hat und was nicht, damit wir nicht die selben Fehler machen müssen.
danke, freut mich dass es dir gefällt. In dem Bike wird es erst später wenn ich mir einen Bike computer baue mehr auf embedded eingegangen, da das bike im jetztigen zustand recht dumm ist was funktionen angeht. :)
Aber das ist eig auch das was mich immer motiviert, die technik über dich ich so lern im realen leben einzusetzen.
Amazing work you,ve done. im thinking of starting my own build and need all the help i can get. Keep up the good work and sharing your knowledge...
Ich hab mir auch ein e bike selbst gebaut, zwar „nur“ 1000w mit 50km/h top Speed und hab mich schon gefragt wann du ein Video über ein komplett selbstgebautes machst😉. Mein bike hat auch einen Rücksitz und ein selbst gebautes Licht, ... und ich kann wirklich jedem empfehlen auch so etwas zu bauen, es ist günstig und ihr könnt wirklich alles machen was ihr wollt, lasst euch halt nicht erwischen.
Paar Daten zu dem Fahrrad:
Ich habe für meinen Umbau ca. 300€ gezahlt und bin schon 1500km damit gefahren, benutze 2 6s Lipos in Reihe, da das einfach das billigste und einfachste war. Ich habe ein billiges Kit mit lcd Display, Felge, hubmotor, Steuergerät,... verwendet. Funktioniert prima. Das einzige das mich stört ist, dass wenn ich Gas gebe, braucht es einen kurzen Moment bis ich fahre, ist nicht schlimm nur für wheelies ist’s unpraktisch.
Übrigens kann ich für so ein Projekt ein 3d Drucker empfehlen, ein ender 3 ist dafür völlig ausreichend.
Wie nice freut mich richtig. Endlich mal einer der auch n zweisitzer gleich baut :D
Lipos sind zwar nice, aber wenn man kein zugriff auf n spotwelder hat tuts n fertiger ebike akku auch. Lipo zellen sind außer für hohen discharge für nix wirklich gut und halten leider nich allzu lang.
Leo Pryside Ich weiß, da ich auch kein bms eingebaut hab, muss ich sie immer am balancer Laden und ich hab auch vor mir einen fertigen Ebike Akku zu kaufen, hatte ich bisher nur nicht gemacht, da ich einfach nicht so viel Geld dafür ausgeben wollte. Und ich bin tatsächlich auch überrascht das der Akku sich noch nicht aufgebläht hat oder Ähnliches.
Fahren ohne Zulassung und Betriebserlaubnis, wahrscheinlich auch noch ohne Führerschein. Was für eine großartige Idee, und was für eine tolle Empfehlung. Wenn die in Verkehr in dickes Porsche esjuwie die Vorfahrt nimmt, und du danach im Rollstuhl sitzt, kannst du ihm noch die Kratzer im Lack bezahlen. Lohnt sich wirklich, sowas anstelle eines S-Pedelec zu nehmen, was du dann auch ganz legal fahren darfst.
I knew a guy who bought a motor off ebay, got two laptop batteries and modified a mtb bike. That thing can do 50km/h with no peddling, which is good in case any police cars show up.
bevor du wieder stunden am sägen bist, meld dich bei mir. ich hab zugriff auf eine Wasserstrahlschneidanlage :)

You are awesome friend. Your understanding of the subject is great. I’m excited to watch the new video you speak of making.
thank you for sharing your build experience. I just began my journey with electric vehicles. I want a small portable bike that i can use to get to my hunting spots quietly. it doesn't need to travel far. It would be great if it had power to drag a deer. It can be slow. these are all the opposite traits bikes are being built for. I'm guessing small wheels are a good choice. I like the step through designs. I also think I probably want 2 wheel drive. if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I will be looking more at building my own since your video motivated me.
Hello from Australia. I very much enjoyed your video looking forward to seeing some more. Keep up the good work.👍🏆
This is like the Bugatti chirone of electric cycles 😂
CYCLIFE more like a Koenigsegg
@@khoanguyen9961 lol no there is a finnish guy with ebike that has like 25kw power.
You guys dont know about KREOSAN!?
cut to the chase, ill buy it. love these things. I'll leave the technicals to you.
Hab Dich sofort abonniert. Du bist super. Gesehen mit Fynn Klimann.Weiter so.
Gesundheit.
This is really cool my Friend built his own ebike and it goes around 40mph and he build a huge battery he can go top speed for like 100 miles give or take a few
Shall I able to get this product in India?
How much is the cost?
1€ my friend
you can just build it yourself. there are a lot of guides online.
Respect man don't stop doing videos the're rly awensome and smart , I live in Austria and I already had a E-Bike build which was about 1000W but it was stolen now I wanna build the same bike as u have make pls a tutorial Video how u did it and what are your battery specs and how do u order from Aliexpress so expensive things? in Austria u should pay a lot for VAT like tax
.. this guy is the proto-typical German .. amazing .. this is how they went from bicycles to the moon in 66 years ..
Pretty sure it was the United States that went to the moon and not Germany.
@@toddkimberlin7609 the dude who made the rocket is german
@@toddkimberlin7609 I was not implying that Germany sent men to the moon Todd .. I had in mind all the engineers who developed the technology of flight .. but anyway German engineers were key players in that development don't you think ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun
Karl Lober I see what you’re saying. And yes von Braun and many others were German if I remember correctly weren’t they giving immunity to war crime prosecution if they agreed to come and work for the us government?
@@toddkimberlin7609 .. right .. my main intended point was to say that is was 66 years from the first powered flight before men were on the moon .. Operation Paperclip en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip

I love this guys attitude . we are not so nice Boston Massachusetts
Welchen Motor hast du benutzt ?
Und deine videos sind super 👍
sag ich doch im video lol. mxus 3000 der v3 3T wicklung 11.9Kv
@@Pryside warum nich den qs205? Der könnte nochmal mehr ab und is glaub ich vom Gewicht gleich
@@BukkitViper QS205 hat 155 mm dropout. Mxus nur 135mm. Aber ja Qs205 geht heftiger. Am besten mit 96Volt.. :>
@@Trumppower ah okay, nagut so eine 96V battery wiegt aber auch einiges und vorallem den Controller bekommt man nicht in europa dafür! Wenn du was hast teil es gerne
@@BukkitViper voralm weil er ja eindeutig ne Lifepo4 Batterie gebaut hat um so hohe Ladezyklen erreichen zu können braucht es diese eben ,denn normale Zellen mit Lion Technik sind nach maximal 1000-1500 Ladezyklen kaputt
Excellent work Leo, I look forward to you detailed description of components. I am working on building a 3Kw Dirtsurfer
Hab dich bei Fynn Klimansland gesehen 👍
most comprehensive eBike channel I have seen - real world applications.
240 Amps TF dude😯
Thanks much! Hope you are still making videos, That thing looks insane!
Finally 😍
Great video, looking forward to the next part...
10 HP on a bike?
I'm not I like the sound of that.
10hp on a bike?
I’m **indeed** I like the sound of that.
I BUILT A GAS POWERED BIKE UNHAPPY WITH THE WAY IT HANDLES AND NOISE LOOKING TO SELL IT AND DO A GROUND UP BUILD LIKE YOU ARE FINDING FLAWS ALL OVER THE PLACE I ENJOY YOUR HONEST VIDEOS KEEP THEM COMING I WILL LET YOU KNOW MY RECURCH I AM A OLD MOTOCROSS RIDER AND I AM SEVENTY REARS OLD IN A WHEELCHAIR BUT I CAN STAND ENOUGH TO GET ON MY BIKE AND RIDE LIKE I AM ON FIRE EVERY DAY AND NIGHT THANKS
Ich feiere dich mega mach so weiter.
Amazing better than one we can buy. Love the friend seat/pegs.
Mach mal wieder Deutsche Videos würde (uns) Freuen 🥺🙏🏻
Wenn man sich ein Video anschaut und plötzlich die Stadt wiedererkennt, weil man da selbst grad wohnt ;) keine sorge bleibt unter uns haha
naja, solange lustig, wie man keinen Führerschein hat
kommt drauf an die kosten sind höher beim führerschein und auto genau so aber wenn du krassen ebike willst kommt man auf seine kosten aber billiger kommt immer auf die anforerungen des besitzer an
Du warst mir so eine gute inspiration fürs e-longboard. Ohne dich hätte ich keins :D Danke danke danke
Wie nice man. Freut mich richtig :)
Was für n setup fährst du? Motor, esc, akku?
@@Pryside Hi der Motor und der vesc sind von esk8 und der Motor hat 3kv. Als akku habe ich die Panasonic Zellen die du in einem deiner Videos empfohlen hast. PS ich wohne auch in Karlsruhe vielleicht trifft man sich ja zufällig mit den Gerätschaften 🙃
Too Fast ??? Until You break through The Space/Time Continuum.... It's Not Fast Enough IMO!!! Lol. Great Work Man !!!
true, my next goal is traveling forward in time
Amazing, i am hyped for the next episode on the bike🙌 have an 1.5kw front wheel drive e-bike with 2 batteries the main one 48V 14.5A and the second one 36V 10A. I have the second one in a backpack isolated from the cold so i can get more range from the bike. I get it up to 50km/h and 60 when pedaling. On the 36V battery
Thats quite a few batteries haha
@@Pryside yeah😅 its colder here than Deutchland (Norway) so need them batteries. And i am wondering where did you buy it and the pegs for the pasanger. I Often stand up while my friends sitt on the main seat but when hiting anything on the road they become sterile for a second if you know what i mean😂
@@amiarb7634 literally from amazon. But I had to modify them quite a bit to be really usefull
just search for "bike footpegs" or something like that
@@Pryside well i desided to take the bike on a tour in very light rain and it looks like the kt-lcd3 display now is dead well i hope its that and not the controller.
I've just watched it again ..... and now i think i'm settled on buying this motor . I need to look for your comments / advice on controllers etc ... but i am certain this motor will suit my protect well !!!!!!
Thanks again for such a great and informative video ... looking forward to more .
I spotted your xiaomi phone...... 👍😂😅
haha, nice. glad i helped, yeah miui and the mi series have come a long way, a great cheap phone :)
Great Video! The video 17:50 explaining the torque etc would be nice!
Thanks for sharing. So much wisdom. I am looking forward to absorbing more and tweaking for my commute / shopping bike.
I'm in absolute shock what an amazing video this will suit my circumstances perfectly incredible that you are sharing this
Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass dir das 'mechanical manufacturing' so leicht von der Hand geht. Zumindest macht es den Eindruck ;-)
Und es macht Spaß, dich wieder deutlich glücklicher zu sehen!!!
haja man möcht ja kein fachidiot sein. Bissl erfahrung in allen bereichen tut nicht schlecht :)
@@Pryside Sauber, braver Bub!
Wow the only German youtuber who isn’t afraid to break the law. Big respects!
Stupid laws btw
Love this bike. You did an amazing job and explanation of your work!
Skateboard burnouts!!! Yes.
That's a great build! Well done and keep up the excellent work!
I have ridden my trike with a 1000 watt front motor for over 2000 MILES in the past year. Wore out my tires! My trike is my PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION at 48-50 kph or 28-30 mph. My range is 30 miles with no pedalling with a 25 Amp Hour battery. All basic stuff. I do not have the pedal assist hooked up as I am handicapped in my legs. Everyone should have one. Just learn how to ride, have safety equipment and enjoy. I built it with few instructions. Florida has no rules really as long as it is a pedalled vehicle. I do not.need a car. The only problem is rain! Lol! If I had put this on a two wheeler, I could easily get 40 mph.
Hey what's up man your e-bike is very thorough will put together I like it it's not overly bulky it has everything it needs to in order to make a proper commute I love you a great work I'm here in the states just gotten into cycling for the last 2 years now I have an e-bike as well
You have litterally built a bicycle version of the cake e-motorcycle
i've just watched it again .... i'm finally making the last decisions needed to buy the right one . such an awesome video . thanks again and again 👍😅😀
I noticed you were in Kassel👍🏻and speaking English ,excellent bike👍🏻I commute to Kassel on my much loved ebike I’ve had for the past 2 years. Excellent content and keep the good work up👍🏻I like your choice of language for your content 😊😊ride safe and stay Healthy
