I got banned from driving for 1 year & needed solution to get to work (15 miles away) . That was wen I stumbled on Andy curby doing this . I now cummute to work everyday on ebike . Been though it all .
Spoke replacements , snapped throttle , controller fets shorted in rain .. best thing ever saved me a ton on money on petrol
Do you use a hub or mid drive kit? I’ll be cycling in rain and want best solution
How do you avoid theft of your bike?
@@ArthurTugwell it's a hub, tighten up goose
Anybody find that the wheel once fitted is more to one side than the other
I aswell use a 3000watt 72v . I get everywhere i need and really fast aswell ^^
Great video I've been doing diy electric bikes for 2 years with what I learn on TH-cam.
This video explains everything very well and makes like so much easier after watching this video.
Keep up the great work pal
@UK Outdoor Flowers 30mph plus is that safe with that gear cycle frame?
Didn't know Jason Statham rode Ebikes? 😄 Even without converting the Giant Mtb looks Amazing. 👍
I feel like I should buy a bike off him or he will track me down, sleep with my girlfriend, crash my car than somehow make me kill myself.
👍👍👍😆
From tha dollar store
lmao
And he's British too!😊
finally, a no BS Channel cheers Dude will be soaking you're vids n knowledge of the Ebikes.
I worked with a crew that fitted machinery worldwide. All our batteries had to be removed and put in to a marked padded fireproof case prior to travelling. Some really useful tips. Thanks for the video :)
Finally...
I've seen guys from cali messing with this hub motors years ago, and gosh they had some powerful ones.
Well done and explained.
Absolutely love the Kirby kits. I have a 500w rear hub diy kit and the install was pretty straight forward, had to test fit the wheel two or three times. I also ditched the bag and designed and 3d printed a bracket and integrated cable management box.
I made a custom torque bracket from 4mm stainless steel.
The 500w kit is all I ever need. Good power and pretty good range with the included battery 48v 13a.
Nice instructions not many go into detail about the washers.👍
What kinda range?
@@janeblogs324 About 35 km with throttle only.
Thats the kind of OCD that appeals to me! 🤣 Definitely interested in having a go at a project like this sometime soon...
He just resells ebike kits from aliexpress
What’s the throttle only speed?
Excellent tutorial video mate, that was soo straight forward and featured every tip you could ask for - top notch!
Thanks so much didn't expect such a great response it's nice
Mate I love the walkthrough step by step so much detail put into it which makes it even better to understand thanks for that was amazing bro ’ll be doing as you say to build my own sometime when I get around to getting all the stuff when I have the money can’t wait to watch the rest bro thanks 🙌👌👍🤙😎😎
Great video. Could not have done it without it. Covered all the nuances clearly and succinctly. Perfect.
Best tutorial ever! Thanks bro for sharing allí this info with us, this Is the exact same kit I want to buy
Great video, I done mine a few months ago and had the same issue with hydraulic brakes very close to the hub but the spacers done the trick.
This was an awesome video!!! Iv watched other videos about such and dudestuff actually answered some of the questions I had! We will see if I can make it look as smooth
I like these videos. The everyday use approach (obviously you don't need everything in the kit, if you don't want to).. and the subtle humor and throughness. One thing I would've liked to see was the casette/freewheel installation, and probably some mention of the hub spacing on MTB's (depending on the type of dropout), what you can do and what you can't do. There's plenty of videos on the tube about changing freewheel/casette for sure, but not many doing it on a 2kW hub motor.
I've got an MTB with QR dropouts and those only have 135mm spacing at the hub. It won't fit a motor like this and a 7 speed freewheel/casette I think.
Great vid. Can't wait for part 2
Thank you for this video is the best i have seen yet for these conversions. Very detailed. No bs.
Awesome!
Straightforward first class demo👍
Great video, so clear and realistic nice tip about not applying the brakes and locking up the pads.
Great informative video.I have never had an e bike and am looking at options,so i am glad i found your channel.
Great tutorial for fitting the rear wheel with great detail 👍
This is excellent education. This chap is explaining everything he can think of.
Just bought & fitted my first Kirkbe kit. Your advice on fitting washers to the cassette side of the wheel saved me from smashing the kit into a million pieces, in utter frustration! Thanks chap, top, top geeza!!! I agree about the PAS sensors too, can be a real pain to fit and using throttle only gives a much smoother ride.
You're welcome 😊
I learned a lot from this video, especially about installing the back wheels. Now I know why I started getting play when I fixed back wheel flats. Never used a hammer to fit it into the cassette.
Yeah great video dude. First timer here. Great coverage of small details. Love the smart casual dress code too.
Great video! Really well explained.
Thanks for that is really clear and your experience of pitfalls was excellent 👍
Great video very informative I'm thinking about getting one of these kits soon, so this was very helpful. 👍
Thank you for making this video. I have been thinking about building my own electric bike and most videos are more like paid promotions and don't have a lot of actual advice in them. I would make one suggestion on buying the caliper space to the motor. They sell brake disc shims to go behind the rotor in 1mm increments. Use a rotor shim, and then you can adjust the caliper on the mount as they usually have some side to side adjustability to keep the pads evenly spaced on each side.
Great video. In the near future I will build Kirbebike's 1500-2000w hub motor kit for my second bike. I just ordered it. My first conversion was a Bafang 750w mid kit. I drive it mostly in the forest and in the countryside. I got some good tips for the future conversion from your video👍
This dude is awesome!!
Been looking for this for ages…great instructions thanks
Well done Steve..this will help alot of people doing there diy builds. Some really good points there, a few important tips that for new builders can be a Real ball ache. 👍
Thank you this is gold. Exactly what I needed 💯
brilliant every step explaination along with quality video footage from you both.. THANKS DUDE
Great build my man. Can't wait to see u ripping about on it👍
thanks m8, i found this upload better than most for me, showing problems you might have.
Another good vid Steve 👍
appreciate the mention about the motor wires that the motor won't spin if they are touching, many people don't mention that. Thank you.
brilliant video definitely gonna get the 2000 watt kit now you have explained it so well
Good video! It helped me with my first 1000w ebike! 😀
Very helpful thanks mate look forward to part two might have a go myself
A really good video with all the pitfalls pointed out.
proper great clear vid on how to do it...thanx
Following this vid, my wheel has gone in easily - almost too easily :-) Everyhting lined up virtually straight away, seems solid.
I like how you minimalise it, using only the stuff you really need. Mine will be built the same style.
Great work buddy. Very clear.
Clued up and well presented, I'm going to go on to your ''It's finished video'' next as I want to see it complete.
Braz your the real transporter gonna cop a kit and follow in your footsteps only just begun in OZ
Thanks for your clips real gent shit 🙏
Nice little step by step Steve 👍
Quality, like your delivery mate 👍🏻
Great usefull info, subbed!
Sweet ride dude .

Clear and concise. Thanks mate - great help 👍
You're welcome
Fantastic fitting tutorial
Straight to the point no bollocks bosch! Nice one feller.
That's looking nice Steve with the Maxis logo in white on the tires just makes the bike pop mind you you've got I good for these builds ye this is gunna be a sweet bike 👌
wow! Great video!
Absolutely fantastic thanks
Great advice. I'm considering getting a kit now.
Nice one! Highlighted all the mistakes I made, very well explained
Thank you for this! Great guide video and easy to understand.
Great video, keep up the great work. Makes me really want an E bike now. Cheers 🍻
Great informative video fella, top man 👍
This is priceless information, than you. I got the kit today, I'll make a start at the weekend 😁
Great vid with quite a few gotchas. Nice one, subscribed😎
Explained great mate.
Very well put together video, great job!! Just got my first ebike last week and i love it!!
@DudeStuff Buddy these three ebike build videos are just awesome and will save a lot of new ebike builders time without the frustrations and headaches. The information on removing the plastic spacer behind the disc brake is so helpful along with the washer spacings for the dropout. I can wait to try my installation again when I have the opportunity!
Hey bro! Thanks for your advice on things. Appreciate your dedication towards making the video.
Excellent presenting skills. Sounds like you covered just about everything. 👍
13:00 yes when the wires touch you are actually completing a circuit on the coils this is reason why you have resistance which is only present in permanent magnet motors. If if was a induction motor you wont experience any resistance until you apply power to the coils.
Great video mate
Great demo!
Watched this video before I built an Ebike from a kit, saved me lots of time. I would not have known to remove the disk spacer, slotted right in. I built the bike in 1.5 hour.
That was very easy to understand, well done, your very professional in walking us through the process, thank-you
Bloody brilliant mate, top notch!
Thank you 😊
You might aswell throw everything in the bin you’re hardly using anything 😂😂
Thanks for posting
GREAT FITTING GUIDE ! :)
Thanks for share mate, definitely a great help.
Ive never done anything like this but have wanted desperately to get into it....I just need to take the plunge thanks for taking the time to methodically go through first stage. 👌🏻🔥👌🏻
how did it go?
Nice walk through on the install. The only thing I would have done differently is using an old inner tube as protection of the frame where the jubilee clip is at. I also used old tubes to protect the frame from the chain and if you take your time wrapping the frame it actually can look good.
Agreed! Something else to keep in mind while ebiking is to wear the proper helmet, most helmets have an outdated safety standard, the best ones are the ones that pass the nta standard like xnito or bern hudson
Good idea. I was just gonna wrap some tape around the frame where the clip goes 🙂
How you explain to do the bike I think it's 100% correct I recommend you to anybody look at your videos
Mate great detail really looking out for all pitfalls. 👍👍
Thanks Mad Dog. Very useful.
Amazing ebike video 📹
Great explanation 👍🏻
Awesome video and thank you for sharing your tips 💙💙👍👍
Tidy job mate 👍
Great stuff top man👍
Good video . Thanks.
I enjoyed the terminology differences between your location and mine. Eg: " Jubilee clip" where i am is called a " hose clamp".
Cheers!
