Great build and be aware that the Ozark trail bike’s bottom pedel sprocket will get lose no matter what and definitely upgrade the gear system, I have the bike and let’s say it’s a pain to keep the components on, besides that love the videos 💯
Happy Father’s Day E-BikeGuy👊🏾 Love what you’re doing Sir! No e-bike, but I’m inspired by your knowledge and the overall good vibes happening on your channel💪🏾🎯💯
You convinced me to build my own. I bought a ebike that’s ready to go but I’m stripping it of everything and building it back up. I really like the frame of the retrospec valen rev+ got it for a good deal through my work. Think it’s going to be either a 3000w or 5000w not sure I’m a bigger guy I really just want good range for food delivery
Some advice as a 220lb guy riding a DIY 4kw ebike: Your range drops drastically with speed, wind resistance burns most of your power. But its fun to go fast... My battery is 72v 12.8ah. I built it in a "DP9" battery case, the largest "normal" looking 18650 case I could find. I've got a KT 60a controller that will pull over 4kw peak but I keep it limited to 2kw on the throttle and I usually run 750w on the pedal assist. Top speed 60km/h but I usually keep it around 40-50km/h. I haven't range tested it exactly, but my guess is that with my riding style where I mix the pedal assist and throttle however I feel it gives me about an hour of riding time before I need to recharge. I can tell you for sure that if I was doing food delivery I'd want it to last longer. It lasts much longer than that if I don't touch the throttle, just use 750w for going uphill, and then drop the PAS level even lower when I'm going flat or downhill. Riding like that I could probably double my range or more. Bottom line if I were doing food delivery and I wanted to be out for hours, I'd probably double my battery size or carry a second battery, and I wouldn't want to ride too fast. As for the fun factor, It's pretty good, but I often wish I had a just a bit more torque just for taking off from a stop. A controller with higher phase amps would probably fix that.
Greetings from London. UK! i got a 3000w 72v just put a small windshield on it even though it looks kind of ridiculous. I got it off a kids toy motorbike and it's a perfect fit, and it sure cuts down on wind buffeting above 30mph!

Best e-bike channel on TH-cam!!! Dayumm didn’t know you was 6”7 wow!!! Much luv bro I need a fat man e-bike diy build that can carry weight and get up to 50mph
Go with vesc controllers, like trampa, flipsky or makerbase... You won't regret it. They are more suited to ebikes. Mqcon, Kelly and fardrivers more for bigger vehicles like emotos or ecars 3kW was the right power choice for that build.
Had a 17s 8p battery flame up on me! Pushed it's limits then had to immediately put it on a high amp charge.... I think it was the immediate charge that put it over the edge...
Some of those dual motor pre built bikes are hard to beat at $1000 pushing 35mph hill eater... The only downside is heavy front end which would drive me crazy.... I like your set up 👍
I want to put a motor on my redline monocog 29er, needs a new crank though, bet it would make a nice steel beast of a rig, its got sma big triangle too, its a single speed bike
I NEED a riser, I see! Wonder how it'd look on my seeker 24? I like the idea of sitting up a Lil straighter. That's a very nice bike. Are most bikes equipped with the "e-brake" feature?
Do you know how to purchase an e bike off of Alibaba? I live in Barbados and want to start selling affordable e-bikes on my island starting from 500w motors to 1000w motors.
Hey e-bike man been watching all your videos and am very intrigued by your bike builds and all the work you put in. What are you starting them off at I would like to by one?
50amps Regen is a lot of amps. Think about the batteries and heat. I have my Regen on 18amps. I also set my Regen to start at 100rpm's The more amps on Regen can make the batteries hot. While discharging high current Think about chargers You wouldn't charge more than 20 amp fast charger. That's my thinking. If I go above that the bike slows down to fast for my liking I agree that the riders weight affects the settings for Regen. That's a rad build. Nice and simple ebike. It should be reliable
Could you possibly help me out. I’m building the same setup except with a brushless motor and not one in the back wheel. It’s going on a occ chopper bike I’ve tried looking up the some of the wires on my controller bc I bought it on Amazon and some are just marked weird like one connecter says (back off) as a label and also says outage power/ switch and a couple other I don’t understand
Are there any weather boxes that could be placed around the speed controller that wouldn't compromise natural air cooling? Puddles are terrible here in Washington. 🤟
@@E-bikeguy oh okay they arent the best but if you put on hubsinks and statorade you can run about 1.70 times the KW and generate the same heat from motor. when I say they arent the best, you dont really need or want much power with a bike setup like that
@E-bikeguy it's neet to see all the different ways that we can make our bikes our OWN! Custom, in a sense. I truly appreciate your channel. I've learned SO much. One more question. I'm kinda short legged, and with my seat down all the way, I feel like my knees are coming up way too high when I'm peddling. Would it help if I changed the pedal arm to a shorter length? It's got the 8 inch/170mm on it now. When I put the seat up to where I can pedal comfortably, I can't hardly touch the ground when I come to a stop. That's why I was wondering.
I have a question I just did that shunt mod on my new victrip Titan 750watt that I asked you about a while ago does it make it unreliable because I ride really far to work

Are we ever going to have ebikes that we cam turn our leg muscle human generated energy output into stored energy in the battery, annoying that we dont have this this day in age
Bro start including your price ranges for your builds, and services. You will get a lot more responses,and could get OVERWHELMED with business.

Finally a diy mountain ebike with adult size 27.5 or 29er tires...
Not 20inchers on a moped frame...
Just curious. What don't you like about the 20s?
Where I live the ebikes are $1800-$15,000
Those bikes are brand name generally with torque sensor pedal assist
Yet they won't go much more than 20mph.

Very big difference with a 3k to a 5k just saying as I have a 3k I built. Trust me work your way up 55 is aplenty and 72v you have that torg
