      @@DRECKoNex Yeah I am interested in doing that, but I can't decide whether to use a new cheap bike or a used one off marketplace. In a lot of videos like that, the person finds a great bike for like $100 or already has one and that's the main reason the build is so cheap, but most people won't get a deal like that. I was thinking about buying one of those cheap moped style bikes and upgrading it, maybe keeping the budget under $1900 for a 6000w ebike.

    Heyo, I work with high-voltage EVs and some stuff I feel like I should just mention as a safety.
    Please do NOT use solder on HV lines. The HV terminals are meant to be crimped. High voltage connection can easily get hot enough in some situation to melt the solder. It is industry standard to never solder these as it is a safety issue.
    I would also double check the bus bar size and thickness you are using to connect the cells together. Depending on how much current you pull through your pack, the bus bar (seems like you are using nickel or tin strips) may add a lot of heat you don't want.
    Very cool build and clean video! Keep up the good work!

      @@XxBanziixX1 I now know to not solder those wires, although it should probably be fine considering they are big copper terminals with 3 gauge wire.

    To disassemble such batteries, you need to fill their plastic parts with acetone and wait 1-2 days, the plastic will become very soft, and the glue too, it will simply fall off the batteries. We did this when we assembled charging stations based on Tesla batteries. Also, you don't have to remove the fuses from each battery, it's enough to tear off the aluminum plate and the fuses will come off with it.

    You get what you pay for when it comes to 18650's. That is such an important aspect of the build. For example I can really accelerate hard on my 7kw E-scooter it's pulls just as much as my camaro til about 20/30 mph, not to say it doesn't have top speed but E-scooters with road tires are INCREDIBLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SPEED WOBBLE AT 60-70mph. "DON'T GET ROAD TIRES"
    I hit speed wobble twice and I wasn't wearing a helmet because I was just going down my own street. Anyway brother I have some High end LG cells I paid a butt load for but they make a HUGE difference in available power under load. I can go look it up if you want, let me know. Because your acceleration is looks to me about 3-4kw at best.

      How much does bike weigh? Get some used mx stuff, from what bike, march up weight, you may need new triple clamps unless you can match up dia and mod your shock mount and/or swingarm but you're guaranteed reliable performance. Easily achievable for your budget.

      Rear shock can be a DNM one, they are failry inexpensive and work great for the price, i see it installed on most surrons and bikes alike, aliexpress should have them for 200$ max, as for the front fork i personally have a Marzocchi Downhill fork, try to go with something that has a 100x15mm front axle as the DH Boost hubs are usually harder to find parts for as they are 20x110mm and most hubs are 32 holes.
