@@DudeStuff nice video I’m looking to convert my specialised bike, it’s a 27.7 rear wheel. What do you recommend I use? I’m looking for something like a 1500w same as what you have just converted do you have a link or somewhere I could buy from. I do like that setup you have done. Thanks
The next time you whack a finger, grab it and squeeze it on and off for a couple minutes (do this right away). If it is a fingernail- it will not darken, this works on small burns also. I think the forced blood flow to the injured area helps greatly. My grand dad told me of this about 65 years ago and I pass it on. Mike
I actually found a manual that explains the rest of those settings(also a kit from Andy). Most are not very useful from a riders perspective, but some do allow you to change the amount of power assist, regen braking strength etc.
thought when you were drilling bolt out, your drill was going to silp and go right in your couch , but it all turned out okay for you. good job enjoyed the video .
Haven’t noticed if you have done a genuine commuter bike conversion yet. But I suspect you would get LOADS of views if you did a conversion on something like a Genesis commuter bike with pannier racks and mudguards. With the cost of fuel and insane traffic, people want commuter bikes!!! Great content thanks 🙏
Thanks for all the great videos, I'm considering building a electric ebike on a 29inch bmx frame something similar to the ZOOZ or Crew Dart. Any recommendations on a motor/kit that will fit in the dropouts/spacing of the rear frame?
You made it look easy I need to take the plunge and build my own bike I've been saying it for ages it's just a matter of space I've already got a ebike and euc so watch this space
if you ever round out a brake rotor bolt again, in my experiance the best way to get it out is to use a grinder with a slim cutting wheel and cut a slit in the head of the bolt, then use a flathead to get it out.Most of the times works like a charm.Also i liked the build keep it up.
Very awesome DIY E BIKE BUILD. If you plan on making another one, can I suggest using a bike frame with DUAL SHOCKS./? I have 2 e bikes, 1 factory made MTB with just front shocks and other is CKit Build using Next Power Climber DUAL Shocks. There is extreme difference when riding, the 1 shock bike is rough after the front forks and always have to lift up butt when coming across obstacles of bumps, pot holes, ect. With Dual shock bike it is extremely awesome to ride over obstacles going fast and having bike adapt to conditions of road. It is the 2 piece Dual Shock bike frames I believe is the best perfect frame to handle suspension. Believe why them 3000watt and up e bikes using them Enduro frames BASED ON THEM FRAME DESIGNS as there are many bike brands that sell them for cheaper price to use for e bike build. BIG DIFFERENCE OF COMFORT.
Believe it or not I have seen an elastic band but on the tip of the screwdriver and it did undo the screw but I suppose it depends on how tight the screw is but it did work.
Please excuse my ignorance here, looking at getting a kit for giant mountain mike. Initally I was looking at Bafang mid motor system, which gives you pedal assist. I take it you can use this as a normal bike or just use the motor to power to the bike?
You can adjust those gears my man. It’s easy once you get used to it. Definitely invest in a good bike work stand when you can. Good luck on the channel. You have my sub.
Great videos. Might you or anyone advise me please. I’m building a street legal 250w ebike can I use a 48 volt battery on a 36 volt motor ? Cheers and thanks
gotta say first and foremost.love the channel.really enjoy watching all the different types of bikes and kits that you check out and your down to earth streaming. OK down to what I'm looking for. I'm looking to buy an ebike conversation kit. rear wheel I think. I've got £400 to spend. I might be able to get a little bit more to put to it at a push if I really need to. so anyways with that said I'm looking for advice on what kit I should be buying. what I'd get for the best buy for my buck so to speak. any help really would be appreciated. thanks in advance for any assistance 👍😉
a pair of mole grips tightly set on the sides of an disc brake bolt, slowly back if off (lefty loosey) usually breaks the threadlock nicely. (saves tw@ting your fingers) ;)
Hi, great vid, thanks. Is it heavy when finished? I mean for hauling up steps, etc. And is the battery stable, just attached to frame with 2 small bolts? I ask because I see Uber riders with batteries held on with loads of tape, like they've fallen off and been badly fixed back on. Thanks
It's a bit big with the battery and whatever the silver thing is. I thought there'd at least be space for a bottle since you're not going to be on power the whole time.
Got a question for ya mate. On your missions of e bike builds have you ever felt the need to file down the dropouts to get the hub axle shaft on abit better? Or have you noticed this when you've installed and had no issues atal? Shout me back pls mate
@@DudeStuff OK mate good stuff cheers just most bikes will have a 9mm dropout available when the hubs shaft is 12-14mm shaft init? Yeah I'm left with a small gap I can't push it no more in the dropouts either side. Obviously alot of the shafts in just a small bit that ain't. Used 2 torque arms so hopefully nothing will ever come of it. Seen your builds and thought I never see you do it and yours seem sweet on the rides you take em. FYI same specialised as this video is the bike with the dropouts too small. Just trying to get it bang on mate
How many amps is that controller??? It was just limiting you to 72 is that 72amps? I just run an 80amp controller on my bike... gets me 55mph. I just built a new battery tho switched from lifepo4 to lithium ion and its wicked fast now but the range isnt what it used to be.
curious what your setup is. I have a 48 volt pack, 2000w motor, draw looks fine but i never exceed 50kph (35mph) would the controller really be limiting it here?
Fast build , fast bike , I would wear a helmet but hey I’m old like 63 and counting👴🏼. Love your “workshop” my wife would kill me if I built a bike in the “lounge”’thank god I’ve got a garage 👍
Looking for cheap quad ire bike for kids .I teach a lot of young lads in trouble alot drone racing and looking to get few bikes ore quads to give em days out for rewards were can you get cheap.we receive monthly budget for parts buy its not alot.donated al9t of stuff from company's but only race drone equipment.
I put the spacer on behind my disc ( I see he threw his away) it made the disc stick out more from the hub motor and the scraping was gone! It is probably hit and miss what works for one doesnt for another, try it , if not try some small M5 washers between the disc and wheel, good luck !
@@DudeStuff That's also what I like....just me n the kids..... nobody else telling me how to live n bring them up.....not everyone's cuppa tea but it works for me👌
Theres a lot im not understanding about e bikes, would this be road legal ? Is it intended for off road use only😉i thought they had to be pedal assist only with max 250 watt motor and max speed of 15.5 mph( uk)
That's right but there are no police officers anymore.😁 That is indeed a motorcycle. I ride a 29mph mobility scooter with TAX and a number plate. We are in a world gone mad. 😁👍
@youtuberus9122 are you talking about the motor as you can push 2000w peak on Andy kirbys easily and probably most 1500w motors but depends on brand and what battery and controller I don't think you'll see 2000w from a 48v battery and cheap controller
Love the red leather work bench! 😂
When I hit 10k subscribers I'll invest in a real workbench 😂
Me too!
Shits sick!!!

Many Chinese Junk Ebike rotor bolts round-out. I use long, new, channel lock pliers on the head. Slowly, don't slip, unscrew.

Your content is first class brother
The diy is the best way to go revamped my 94 MTB 1000watt middrive it's awesome and and better than the premades
Hi,I've done a 1500w bike. What do you think of pedal assist. Thanks for your informative vids. Steve Gravesend.
So close to my 1 st ebike mate! Great video!💪💪👊👊 funny shit too
You should try the same thing with 5000 watts mate ,Nice video liked your bike and your build video .

Great video the bike looks brilliant in black and red. You make the conversion look really easy keep up the great work.
I'm getting a new hardtail bike, so I'm going to upgrade my previous to electric setup just like this 😊 your videos dead helpful
Nice video tell us more about the hub motor and the battery.
Not even 2 minutes in and I'm laughing my ass off cause I relate to you're pain in what should be "easy".
Great videos. Might you or anyone advise me please. I’m building a street legal 250w ebike can I use a 48 volt battery on a 36 volt motor ? Cheers and thanks
I have a 12 speed cassette on my mtb. Can I use the same set up you have?
Hi do you have a link where I can get the conversation kit and wheel from as per your video. Cheers mate
Hi mate what is the best kit for a bike that you did in this video is decent like which one is it on that website ???
Watch the bird on the fence when you drive your bike. It teleports 3 times. BTW, how do you turn around so fast off camera?
Bed the wife loves you, using the living room as a work shop 😂

I do exactly the same... use my living room as my bike maintenance/repair workshop...🙂👍🏻
Hi, great vid, thanks.
Is it heavy when finished? I mean for hauling up steps, etc.
And is the battery stable, just attached to frame with 2 small bolts? I ask because I see Uber riders with batteries held on with loads of tape, like they've fallen off and been badly fixed back on.
Thanks
They do that to deter theft. Two little machine screws is plenty to fasten the battery onto the bike, even better the guy from the video used 3
I have the same bike, i see the link in description but I didnt see the specific kit. Anyone know what it is?
Wow that is better than i thought it would be. Where do you buy these kits if i wanna do it myself?
Kirbebike.com
What’s the best way to get in touch with about the e bikes. Thanks
I’d love to see your Mrs catch you using her sofa as a workbench!!! 😂😂
It's a bit big with the battery and whatever the silver thing is. I thought there'd at least be space for a bottle since you're not going to be on power the whole time.
Hy i live in West Africa, Ghana how do i get this kit to transform my bicycle
Did you just hammer the other end of the axle into your couch?
Adjust the gears ya self mate very simple
What do you use to attach to make sure motor wheel don't separate from bike frame .
Wheel nuts 😜 and a torque arm
What’s the best kit for a 29 inch mtb
How long can you ride on a battery
What specific package did you buy??
I have a feeling the rear wheel is a 27.5 inch wheel
The intro music, I thought I was watching snatch. Lol 😂👍
Where did you get the conversion kit from
Thx. How much range do you get?
F@#k that was my finger 😆🤣😂, you had me doubled up .
Where did you buy this exact kit from ?
Were can I get the conversion kit and at a good price in the us

Andy Kirby
What about lifePo4 batteries
link to this kit?
So I have an ebike I bought off my bro he had it built for him its got a KT-LCD8S 1500w motor is it rated for 2000 w
Or am I talking shit
@youtuberus9122 are you talking about the motor as you can push 2000w peak on Andy kirbys easily and probably most 1500w motors but depends on brand and what battery and controller I don't think you'll see 2000w from a 48v battery and cheap controller
It charges to 58.7v but does 45mph with no weight
Can I just give it you and pay you to sort it Lil I'm on about slapping a fat motor on it The hole bike only cost me 450
@youtuberus9122 there's a chance it peaks around 2000w with your 52v battery
It is lovely...❤❤❤❤❤
What size battery was that?
52v 17.5a
I'm thinking you'd say the top speed was 'adequate'... 😉
Hmuch for the full kit plz
