@@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.

Hats off to you for committing to that full long build of a mystery bike. Coming from a seasoned motocross rider and TH-cam reviewer I cringe to see that suspension snap.
Loved the extreme riding to find as many as posible weak spots in your build. Not only a smart guy but also a serious bike rider. I hope you take care of safety and wear full protective gear while pushing your bike to it's limits. I look forward to seeing the build update and more riding from you
@@rainhodl3er72 You are right about the protective gear, I was wearing 60% bike helmet and 40% full face helmet before I saw the suspension snap and my brother ragdoll, now I’m going to always wear the full face.
I recommended replacing the swing arm bolt with a shoulder bolt if you can find the correct size, will make the bearing fit much nices and will likely last longer
Bro awesome video I own a Sahara bikes 8000w wild coyote pushing 10-15000 watts thru a sabvoton 150-300 amp controller as motor with a Samsung 49ah battery and you have showed me things that need to be upgraded thanks I will be subscribing so keep up the videos
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. The nickel strips are 8 x 0.2mm, which I determined would be good enough after looking at a bunch of forums, all of which gave different values.
@@Calthecool just because the wires can take the current without getting overly hot doesn't mean you wont run into a situation like the terminal screw coming loose and causing a high resistance fault that heats the terminal and melts the solder.
Bro, such a well crafted machine, and the video was perfectly succinct. Could have gone even longer tbh. Thanks for sharing! Can I just encourage you to wear a fullface MIPS helmet? Speaking as someone who just got out of hospital for the 3rd time after a bad bike crash.
@@Calthecool My friend utmost respect for your build, but PLEASE, for the love of me, do not ride things like this on cheap Zoom forks and such. Get a proper rear shock, one for a pitbike or something similar and modify the mounts to make it fit, then buy a second hand boxxer downhill fork, you will not regret it.
You haven't seen anything yet, the battery I make in this video can output the equivalent of 14hp, but people build truly insane packs that can output the equivalent of 80hp: www.reddit.com/r/batteries/comments/1dkubga/first_post_here_26s14p_p42a_936v_nominal_1092v/
@@Calthecoolhey try making simple arc furnace powered by those batteries using carbon rods for welding. It would be much stronger than simple furnace from wall output with the 12hp power. It probably will melt steel easily
@@Calthecool I used cheap Chinese arc welder (3kw) as simple arc furnace and it melts every metal but has a hard time melting steel and the steel hardens in crucible before it can be used. Copper, bronze aluminium etc melts really easy. I think using such battery as yours you probably could melt kg of steel and use it to make things for bikes. Like print wave metal castings for handles and such.
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.

@@J1414R these big hub motors can take so much power and the controllers are efficient enough that it’s really better to just increase the power instead of adding gears. Plus the hub motor design is so simple that having gears would just complicate things. If I wanted to beat any surron in a drag race I could just build a 40kW monster with a bigger hub motor, but that would be ridiculous.
@@Calthecool hey, bro it’s just a a suggestion, a really good one, they could’ve added more power to cars to go faster but instead they gave them a transmission. Sometimes a single gear isn’t always the way to go, and shifting gears is fun too.
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.

Your welcome. I've watched enough boring bike review videos where all they do is ride it on the street and maybe a dirt path, I knew I had to actually make this video interesting and show what the bike can and can't do.
I hope you tuned the controller to the motor? If not you will not be getting the full torque, cogging can also be heard especially in low speed high torque manoeuvres if the controller is not properly tuned...

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.

@@Upstate_sonic 203mm. The difference between 203mm and 250mm isn’t that much, I would just make sure to get good 2 piston calipers. I have one piston calipers and I can barely lock the rear wheel with one finger, which is good enough for normal riding but not good enough for wheelies.
@@Calthecool thank you so much for the quick reply currently im looking at m4 4 piston hydraulics will thoes work? or is 2 piston better
@@Calthecool and im gonna use magura discs this probably isnt needed as im using a 48v system but its worth it. also will it be alright looking if i use a 24x4 in the rear and a 24x2 in the front i cannot find any front wheels that are 24x4 on amazon and part of the project is it all needs to be on amazon i cant find any 24x2 rears that have big enough dropouts otherwise id run that
@@Upstate_sonic I meant that four piston brakes are better, and two piston brakes are worse. Those maguras will work great. It’s hard to tell if the bike will look goofy, but some bikes have thinner front tires so it isn’t totally unrealistic.
Just make sure to get triple clamp forks also.
Subbed. Been wanting to do a project like this.
So when are we getting Part 2?? Love the video man!
New suspension arrives in 12 days, after that I'll start filming.
holy shit this is hilarious! perfect example of why I decided to do my build on a street legal vintage honda trail bike - shit was built to last!
Thank you for posting this - its a great reality check for people considering buying a cheap chinese frame.
Good video dude thanks
Very good video
I wonder if you can get this frame kit with a mid drive motor mount as I really hate hub motors!
@@LarryRichelli there are frames like that, but they are like $800
Great work!
i know this might sound crazy but is it possible to retrofit a pc water cooled system into the battery compartment, thus making your system water cooled ?
@@Coyote.five.0 yes you could probably do that but it really isn’t necessary. Maybe if you have a more powerful battery.
@@Calthecool thank you for clarifying 👍
Great video
Aye the man himself! This video wouldn't be possible without your videos.
@@Calthecool No problem man. and ayyy 12K views in 3 days, you have got yourself a million view video. make sure to get add revanue going. you can make a good chunk of the money back from what you spent on your bike just from this video, Im sure of it!

I’m nowhere near monetized, but I’m definitely going to turn it on when I get there.
@@Calthecool oh interesting I thought they changed it to 500 subscribers and 2k hours watch time.
