    Top build mate!
    I have just built a 1500w kit and also noticed it was down on speed, I went into the settings and it was set by factory default at 20 in the P14 setting which was limiting the power to the motor.
    I changed it to 35 which the 1500 w can easily handle and now BOOM !!
    Was only doing about 22MPH before now 35 / 40 MPH no problems!!!

    Great new built I think giant make some good frames and everything fits really well into the frame looks nice and neat with out all the spaghetti all over the place like you see on some other peoples builds. It certainly runs well don't forget to fix the seat before the next run out and stay safe.

      I agree i have a giant trance full suspension and it's been a good solid bike for me. Good bikes for the money. Frames are bigger than the trek so fitted nicely but I've found a way I can fit controller in trek frame and will do that soon.
      No I didn't forget the seat i tightened that properly as soon as I got home, was a pain that coming loose.
      Cheers mate

    Great video and great build. I also converted a 29" Giant Talon. Those fixed tail Mountain bikes wind up being some of the best to convert. Just switched from to Maxxis Hookworm tires since I am on pavement 90% of the time. It reduces the tire noise and makes the ride very smooth. I like the mid drive kits instead of rear hubs. The controller is in the motor too for a much cleaner look. Is there a reason you favor the hub kits? Is it the high watt and high speed of the hub kits?

    • @motomachinezuk8786

      Hi and thanks for comment, glad you enjoyed. Its an easy answer this was myfirst build and experience with diy ebikes and wasn't sure if I would like so got a cheap kit to try really and i actually enjoy more than I thought. Its just nice getting out on a bike and exploring which it does OK for me I don't think I expected much so it does OK. Hills I justneed to keep my momentum but then I don't do silly stuff.
      Mid drives sound good apart from always changing gear but I do want to build 1 sometime to experience.
      Hope this makes sense

Anyway if I was riding pure throttle on flat areas riding fast a good 30 miles in the summer winter I lose range about 10%. Riding fast no peddling with a mixture of hills a good 20 miles. If peddl8ng in gear 1 then 50 plus easy . Depends on weight also.

    The sw900 doesn't have a 52 volt option, so the larger tyre bike must be running on 48 volt ? No good for the battery either as it can't be fully charged, and green light never comes on.

  • @ash0787
    @ash0787 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    great bike, i'd go for one of those triangle battery if it can fit because it can go 52v 28amp hour, the space inside that frame looks like its quite narrow though, same problem on my bike because the rear shock. I don't see the appeal of bigger wheels than the standard 26, top speed ? but thats also going to depend on the motor windings and stuff ?

    • @motomachinezuk8786
      @motomachinezuk8786  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes quite tight with space for battery . Triangle would be tidier for sure if it would fit.
      Bigger wheels are a smoother ride, more cushion. 26 better for getting power down. Alot more ground clearance with 27.5 or 29er for off road.
      I just got same size as original bike as I didn't want the mullet look.
      Cheers, I enjoy this bike, great fun

    oh yeah thats what I want to make or something close to it, its still out of stock on the website though ( Solos ). The frame looks quite thin at the back, where it goes upwards towards the seat, will it really take the power of the 2KW motor when its modified to do 3 or 4 kw ? also is 26 inch wheel size going out of fashion on newer mountain bikes ? I don't know whether to choose or recommend 26 inch or 27.5 to people or for myself.

    • @motomachinezuk8786
      @motomachinezuk8786  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes I keep looking at solos also, hopefully soon. It's a decent frame should be fine I would say if anything the forks are weak link but better than the trek marlins.
      Once I tried a 27.5 I can't go back to a 26in, less clearanceand and rougher ride. 29er is smooth and good for top speed but they have some flex then cornering I'm a little jubious about. 27.5 is my choice.
      These new frames have different gears now I belive they are 9 speed stock.
