Lots of fun seeing the changes you've made to your ebike! I really like those hydraulic brakes.
Thank you! the brakes are worth the upgrade!
@@FrankiesWorld Nice work... Are the motors run separately or combined? It is the hooking up a 2nd motor for front on an already ebike rear motor. If I hook up front hub what will be the connection diagram. I was imagining an extension arm bar for handles and hook up the brake , throttle ect on the long arm bar rest( the one you lean on and arms in front) . Im wondering if I can use 1 controller but not sure the wig up will cause chaos. I really like to know ya experience and your thoughts on my take for tips.
@@user619tlsdca5 the motors are separate. Nothing changed on the stock motor, the front has its own controller and battery. However I don’t have the PAS connected to the front motor so it works with throttle. The cables from the battery and controller are on the back rack and connect to the front motor and throttle. I have two throttles, one for the front motor and the other for the rear.
@@FrankiesWorld Yeah, until their is a smart controller for dual motor, looks like I be right behind ya. That was a cool set up on the lec. Im going to have 2 handle bars with my 2nd motor lines feeding into the extended arm rest bar for straight away top speed. Have 350watt 48v and bought a 1500 watt front hub. But I want to use 4 inch fats at front but would look odd to a 2inch wide back.
Great build but I'm not sure i see the advantage of hydraulic brakes that still use a cable. Still have cable stretch. I have seen complete full hydraulic kits for 80 bucks online, no cables. I have a mid drive XPremium, What do you think about adding a front wheel motor setup to a mid drive?
Love the dual motors, great idea.

@@last7509is trash.
@@last7509lol jk, I'm sure it's good for some people.
@@last7509 the foldability is very important to people like me.
14:40. That was really impressive. I’m a big guy I think I will need that front wheel.
great vid. one of the best XP mods vid i've seen on YT.
I bought a 350 watt GEAR motor factory build and upgraded the bike with a 2nd 2000watt gearless motor as a TURBO BOOSTER when on top speed off cruise control at 20mph of the 350watt GEAR ⚙️ which boost mph to 38 to 40mph as it gets me to go long distance faster. Using two gearless motors I wouldn't be able to go miles on without motors cutting off to cool down. Believe using a Gear motor with a gearless to use as turbo booster is the best method of AWDs and factories should make these as the standard.
Yep, that’s basically what I do with my front motor. It’s there mainly as a turbo booster to use when it’s needed.
@@FrankiesWorld Great, this method is very , very practical as my e bike out performs custom factory made DIY Duals of the 3000$ range as some I see as an overkill and not practical.
@@FrankiesWorld Set up is extremely practical as I use my 350 gear ⚙️ to ride within housing streets as I use e bike to make deliveries, when on open roads , blvds, hills I use 350gear on cruise control and turn on the 2000 watt gearless of using 36 to 40 mph of long distance like my 10 mile ride to warehouse at 36 to 40 mph. With just using the Gearless I can only ride 3 Miles of top speed before the motor cuts off to cool down. With just the 350 gear ⚙️ I can ride continuous but only at 18 to 20 mph.
I live in the SCV too and recognize the areas you did your tests. Those hills are no joke! I was thinking about riding my Lectric XP to breakfast at Telly's last weekend but didn't think my bike could make that hill past Todd Longshore park going up Whites Canyon. Your upgrades are SUPER impressive. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! And yea if you’re familiar with this are then you know exactly why I got the dual motor setup. The stock setup will work, but I just wanted a little extra to make sure I can still ride for miles and handle the hills!
Damn that is a sick setup, good job
Thank you
I did the exact same with my lectric XRP. I added a 20ah on the rear rack.I also have a small 48v just for the added head light. I like your bike .
Good to hear that others are doing the same upgrades! for the price these bikes are awesome.
Loving it! Best upgrade for sure! All them 2.0 riders are jealous of the OG’s! 😆😆👍🏻
Heck yeah! I was hoping for a bigger motor or battery with longer range but none of that was changed on the 2.0. No regrets here! thanks for watching!
I think it's safe to say that you have the most bad-ass step thru e bike in the world
Haha thank you sir!
People could hire you to 'jazz up' their XPs! You could make oodles of dough!!! Great vid! The rear hub motor now has 'motor assist'!!! Ha!
Haha thank you!
I am doing the same for my 20 inch--I have a non folding bike because i trail ride more.Looks like I have the same 1000 watt front hub kit--I also have a bag on the back like yours.Glad I found this as I have not done mine yet--I have all the parts and I have the exact same bag on the back you have but in blue.I also used the foam packing and plan to have the controller sit on foam on top of the battery in the bag--I plan on opening the front of the bag up so the controller gets a breeze on it to stay cool.Looks clean--I am paying 150 dollars to have help installing mine at a bike shop.I just want no worries.
Very nice! I love the 2nd motor. It give me exactly what I needed on my ebike setup.
This video is awesome man. I want to increase the speed on my electric bike and this gives me so much inspiration to do so thank you!
Thanks for the comment! The dual motor is a game changer for sure!
Nice, I had gone back to your first vid to get the feel for the stock system, and these changes you made really worked well, def something to consider for people living in hilly terrain which I also happen to, thanks for this follow-up vid.
Thank you, and yes. Only reason I considered the dual motor setup is because of the hills I deal with otherwise this bike stock would have been more than enough.
great video much apreciated i have both models they reallt changed our lives my wife and i im 68 yrs old and loving it! new lenox ,il
Thanks for watching and for the comment! This bike was a life changer for me. I used to ride for years and have not touched a bike in the last 5 years. Ever since I got the Lectric I’ve put just under 1000 miles on it in the last few months!
@@FrankiesWorld they are comfortable and made well!
Good job. U can still hook up quick release panniers to the sides of the rear rack for more storage
Thanks, I did end up getting a storage bag for the front as well.
It's nice to see people catching on to how fun it is to ride dual motor ebikes. The Ariel Rider D-class started the trend.
Matter of fact it was the Ariel riders d class bike that gave me the idea! Once you go dual motor it’s hard to go back unless you have one very powerful motor.
@@FrankiesWorld I hear you. The torque is so fun with two motors, and torque is ultimately more important than top speed for urban riders, since we tend to accelerate more than we ride continuously at top speed.
@@mattmiller4917 yep! I rarely ever use my dual motor setup for top speed, it’s all about the torque. Especially with lots of hills to ride.
Awesome bike upgrades I can’t wait to upgrade mine
Thanks, you won’t regret it!
19:18 starts BEAST MODE 👍
I really like your upgrade.
Very cool upgrade. I want to get the new one with the mid drive n add the rear hub from my xp to it. But I've never ridden a mid drive so not sure if it'd even work well having both mid and hub on the same bike.
Heck yeah! I was thinking the same and then adding a front motor. From what I’ve heard, the mid drives are much better for hills and feel more natural because they use a torque sensor vs Kadence .
I love all the upgrades. The only problem with the extra motor is it’s definitely now a Class 3 e-bike because of the overall system power increase from the front motor. You will not legally be able to go on public paths that share space with pedestrians in CA. Stay on the roads and you should be fine though.
Yes you are correct. I keep it under 20 for the most part anyways. The dual motor is mainly to get me up steep hills.
@@FrankiesWorld Just subbed to your channel. I find myself coming back here more and more just to see what kind of mods you’re doing to your e-bikes. Keep up the good work man. I hope this channel explodes in subs for you.
@@Inmate533 thank you so much for subbing and your positive words! 🙏🏻
I like your changes,I think ill do the same ,when mine shows up!!! thanks for sharing.
Same exact setup I'd like to do with mine I have 1000 w ridstar the bike is absolutely amazing definitely doing some upgrades there's so much you can really do with these bikes
Wait I just got that same bike the thousand watt one I plan to do a lot to it like to BMX handlebars, triple tree, front air, fork, cassette brakes, pedals and maybe a 1500 W front motor. If you do it before I do let me know how you made out and maybe we can share a parts list
Great Video !!! I don't use mine in the same way as far as "daily/commute" vs "sometimes/recreational" I am the "daily/recreational type" .. LOL ...However, aside from the normal seat, seat-post, handlebar upgrades .... I have not done the free-wheel upgrade yet .... your video has confirmed my way of thinking, that no matter how you "use" the Lectric XP ... the free-wheel upgrade is my next move...Thanks !!!
Thanks for the comment! Changing the freewheel made a huge difference. It’s also cheap and easy to do!
You need the DavidBrandNew BMX bars and stem setup. Good video. Subscribed
Thank you! And yea I finally did do the bmx conversion on this. I didn’t use the davidbrandnew parts but I got it to work and am loving it!
Nice set up! I just might try it. Thanks for sharing.
Once I went with this setup I can’t imagine going back
Lectric bike has a great saddle bag you could put the rear battery on it and use the sides for great storage
I still have the saddle bags that came with the bike, never used them. What I ended up doing now for some extra storage is getting one of those smaller bags that go up front
You could drape saddle bags across the rack battery.
WELL FRANKIE ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO…REALLY LIKE THE SET UP, BUT NO FRONT SHOCKS?!? THAT 1000WATT HUB IS THE SHIT…HAVING WATCHED THE OTHER VIDS ABOUT IT, YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE TO PUT IT TO THE HILL TEST, THANK YOU!!! HAPPY TRAILS!!!🎃🥳😎
Yes, shocks would be nice in the front. What I do is lower the tire pressure slightly to help absorb the bumps. Thanks for your comment!
The intro totally vibes of “Grand Theft Auto: E-Bike City”
How fast does the bike go on straightaways no hills with this dual motor set up. What’s the longest ride you think you could do Before batteries go dead. Installing this on my Lectric 2.0. Can’t seem to find that hub wheel in a 20 x 3” only 20 x 4” so I’m getting local bike shop to respoke it into my factory 20x3”. The quality of your videos are great. Thanks so much for the links it’s helped with my purchases.
So on flats using both throttles I can get it to go a little over 30mph. When peddling on PAS 5 and using the front motor I can go 35 but haven’t pushed it further. Range rise…not sure yet but oh need to make a video on that. If I had to guess, using both motors throttle only I can probably get 17 miles.
Way cool!
As I said, I was on the fence, sure looks like the Front Hub Motor is a “HILL GAME CHANGER” indeed!
I really don’t care about the extra speed but, the Range Increase and Hill Climbing ability may push me to change my mind LOL…
I share your thoughts on the Freewheel, Discs and Brakes, easy and cost effective mod that made a ton of difference.
The Cloud-9 “Cruiser Select Saddle” & Zoom Seat Post are a great combination.
Nice Job Sir!
Thank you sir! and again a big thank you for letting me borrow your freewheel tool. I didnt get it much for speed neither, mainly the help with hills and range.
Daaaaaaamn... now I gotta upgrade mine too.
Nice video
Once you go with this setup you won’t want to go back!
you have a sick setup but i was distracted with the church song in the background when you were explaining it. seems you were around a filipino church when doing the video and on a sunday. haha
lol thanks and tbh i don’t even remember what was going on in the background
Omg that hill test had me laughing so hard. I want that! I'm assuming your nowhere near east coast? I will buy parts and pay you to give me that! My god! The only thing is I got the 3" xp 2.0. any idea were I can find that front motor in 3" wheel?
Lol no I’m on the west coast. I found everything I needed on eBay. Do a search for the wheel size motor you need. Mine was a 20” x 4” hub motor. The 2.0 is a 3”, not sure if they kept it 20” or not. I know it’s possible because I’ve seen a couple guys with front hub motors on the 2.0.
@@FrankiesWorld I'll definitely be checking it out. Thanks for video.
Pretty work I'm so glad to watch this video so simple the way u explain😊 good job body I'm so excited I'm watching videos and reviews about e.bikes this is great video change my mind
Nice video, love the dual motor gets you more speed n power 👍🏽
The dual motor makes all the difference for my needs. I can never go back!
In love it. Keep up the good work. Nice video. I want to install a front motor on my XP 2.0 but need a wider front fork drop out spacing to use the motor you used.
Thank you, and they don’t have a front motor kit for the 3” wheel?
@@FrankiesWorld thank you. Looks like I'll have to install new forks.
@@juanescorza2984 I wish I had suspension forks on mine. I’ve seen it done before but just don’t know if it’s worth my time at this point.
Mine have dual motors 1kw in front and 1.5kw in rear.
Video got me to get another e bike of a 500watt Gear motor to upgrade it with 2000watt Gearless ⚙️ to use along my present e bike. This time after learning off my first build is to get a Dual Shock frame. The speeds over 24mph gets real bumpy over rough terrain. I have another e bike with dual shocks but jus one motor as I plan to use the motor for my next e bike buy.
Looks like blast
You da Man!
i wish i had a front motor on my 2.0 but this video was amazing
I love the dual motor setup, it works perfect for the type of riding environment I’m in.
Nice setup man. I'm looking to do this myself. If your rear motor died, would you be able to ride just using your front motor? Have you tried it?
Thanks! And yes! I mainly use the front motor with 1/4 to 1/2 throttle and keep my rear motor at PAS 2. By doing so I barley use battery on the main. To answer your question, yes. If your rear motor dies you can use just the front. Each motor is controlled independently.
nice. i want to add a front hub motor too
Totally worth it
That looks great need that hook up
Totally worth it if you need the extra power
i would suggest adding a layer of electrical tape to the front throttle because they are sharp and uncomfortable. And maybe adding a thumb drive throttle on the left side for the rear motor as it takes up much less real estate, you won't have to turn UPWARDS with the stock throttle and a full size grip can be used over the cheap grips that come with the kit.
I ended up replacing the handle grips with ergonomic ones. And yes..thumb throttles will be next, at least for the left one because it does feel awkward to twist forward when I do.
Wow that’s is very impressive 35 miles
Dang Frankie that’s faster than your grom 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I just recently bought and received the new xp lite, and I love it, I just need to know someone like u to help me upgrade mine!!
Congrats! I’m hoping to see the lite version in person some day. TBH, I learned how to do all my upgrades by watching several TH-cam videos 😎
Wow 35 miles and hour up hill wow
Clean bike, thinking about a similar project.
It’s so worth it. I couldn’t go back to stock.
Your bike 🚴 looks 👀 really good
Thank you!!!
Nice setup. I want to change the headlight on my XP but can’t afford a new controller or battery, what should I be looking for so I don’t fry my existing battery with a new light?
The least expensive thing you can do that I can think of is to get a headlight for your handlebars. It will provide more light, and uses its own battery source. This one also has a feature to charge your phone because it has a USB port. USB Rechargeable Bike Light Set... www.amazon.com/dp/B08FHZ49TS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I'm thinking about this build but using stock throttle and pedal sensor. It's possible to piggy back the second controller with a little more work.
I have not tried personally but it has to be possible .
You did all that and you couldnt spare $25-$50 bucks for some desent pedals,other than that,its a pretty good set up. How many more mph do you do with the dual set up?
@@garwhite8872 I finally changed the peddles lol. With both motors I’ve gotten it up to 36
Hey Frankie, great video, I just bought my XP and I live in a very hilly neighborhood. I’m tipping the scales @ 225lbs and have found I need some help getting home from a nice bike ride. The mods you’ve done are exactly what I need for my bike. Front hub motor (throttle only) ,better braking, and the free wheel sprocket,tired of running out of gears. I’m definitely going to use your suggestions on which parts to use for my upgrades. Are you happy with the battery and controller you bought? Thanks for your post.
Tc from Nevada
Thank you for your comment! yes hills can take a toll on the battery. I have had the dual motor mods since last summer and I have ZERO regrets with it. Battery and controller still work fine as they should. For what I use the bike for I could not go back to stock. The install is easy as well. There are a couple videos on youtube that go through the install process.
@@FrankiesWorld Great job! I just subscribed, Any issues you ran into installing the front hub? Just curious did you do these updates when the bike was still under warranty. I was thinking about doing it soon as warranty is up just in case.
@@animat8 thank you and thanks for subbing! Yes I still did it under warranty but didn’t tamper with any of the stock settings. No issues at all. The hardest part is removing and reinstalling the tire for the front lol
Just ordered my first ever e-bike, a Lectric 2.0. I'm wondering if a front motor wheel will become available in the new 20x3 size. Also wonder if new suspension forks can handle front wheel power. I suppose a 750w or 500w front motor might work if 1000w does not. Cool mods you got.
Thanks for the comment! If they don’t make a front wheel hub that fits the 2.0 then they will shortly. I have never seen the 2.0 in person or know the specs so I’m not sure if the kit I got works with it. They do seem to be universal. Also congrats on ordering the bike. Just keep in mind that the wait can take a while but is worth the wait.
@@FrankiesWorld how much is the 48v 20ah battery & controller
@@lonniewoods4228 The battery its self is around $240, the controller comes with the front hub motor kit which is also close to $250.
I just bought the 2.0 just spoke that you got looks like it’s really fast my only goes about 2425 miles an hour top speed unlocked
Hope you don't mind I'm going to copy your setup. I weigh 265 and that's the perfect setup for me. Awesome bike. Do you remember what that trunk bag was called?
Don’t mind at all. I uploaded this video to encourage people for this setup. This is where I got the trunk bag… www.ebay.com/itm/164718502822?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ma-rur6MQlC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=lBoRazVCTOu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I wish we could meet up and compare XPs.
I have an early model/prototype XP with the same dual motor setup.
You anywhere near San Diego?🤣
I’m 45 min from Santa Monica
Dudeeee!!!! so how much $$$$ have you invested total? I live in TJ so everywhere is an uphill so I was really not sure if the regular xp could make it, but this one I would be happy with 15mph uphill great bike man!
Thank you. Total cost almost $600, that’s the front motor hub kit, battery and freewheel.

You are very smart
Video of how too put front motor installation ty
Nice video. I did about the same, removed the fenders, new brakes, new seat and post. For the light, I have Lectric sending me the new one they use on the 2.0. When you take turns do the wheels make a noise? My spokes seem tight but im just over 100 miles.
Thank you! I did hear that the headlight on the 2.0 is much better than the original. No mine makes no noise when turning. It’s literally perfect.
Did I miss something? Why do you use two throttles? Not needing a three position switch, for front only, back only, and both. I would think about a inline detent switch on the throttle as a lock out for the front motor throttle signal and have just rear power only, switchable to both from the same throttle signal.
I know the Ariel rider dual motor bikes have a 3 way switch for that reason. In my setup I have two throttles because the right one controls the front motor and the left one controls the rear motor. Or I can use both at the same time if needed.
well done
Thank you!
Awesome video. Just curious the freewheel is it 11-28 or 11-34? Thank you.
Thank you. I’m using the 11-28.
@@FrankiesWorld no thank you.
Great video I’m going to do the same set up. I have a question about the front wheel motor, do you have the pedal assist hooked up with that also? And if so did you hook it up to the original PAS system that it came with?
Thank you! You’re going to love it! And no, I didn’t use the peddle assist or levers it came with. I only use the front hub motor strictly for throttle.
I am also doing the same setup on my CSC--I also found to use spring level connectors--look those up--they will make hooking any battery up to the controller very easy--I also have a video on it.Plan on doing this early next week--I have all the parts and was going to do this exactly and glad I saw this video.I also have the same bag he does on the back and it can hold a 48v 20 ah battery and have room for the controller.--It also fits the rack perfectly.
Frankie how did you get the 4” wide tires on there. I have the 3.0xp and they said the forks aren’t wide enough. I really dig the upgrades and I think I’m going to go with the hydraulic breaks and front motor too. I really want the 4” tires too
Mine has the 4” fat tires because it’s an OG V1. I think they went away with the 4” when the v2 came out
@@FrankiesWorld makes sense. I’m seriously considering adding a front motor too. I hope I can find one that fits or I might have to change my forks.
They should make the kits for 3” wheels. Once you get the dual motor setup you won’t want to go back.
I FREAKING LOVE THIS, IM DEFINITELY DOING THIS TO MINE, do u think I can put the same thing on the lectric lite?
Idk but it would be sick to do so!
Cool set up ? Did you install the pedal assist that came with the hub motor to the pedal shaft ?
Nope. I only use the pedal assist for the main motor. The front is just throttle for when I need the extra assist.
Ahh, ty
Well nice i ave a fat bike ...but need ta get a fat folding one..i like the hub in the front n the extras you can do with it..it looks well clean 👌 👍 just subscribe 👍
Thanks for your support!

Trying to buy the right one so I can up grade
If I get all accessory for the XP electric folding bike like the front motor on the wheel front motor on the wheel I need someone to help me install it how much would you charge
Thanks for your comment. If I had more experience in bike customizing I would say yes. However I’m just not comfortable working on another persons bike in case I accidentally break something or if something went wrong down the road I wouldn’t want to be responsible. Do you have a version 1 Lectric? This kit only works for the original version. Second, if you are in socal or in the scv area I can recommend an ebike shop that can most likely add these features on for you. They have the best prices in town. They just replaced a brake line for me and it only cost $40 out the door.
Hi love that Video I just buy the Lectric 2.0 love it can u tell me where u get your handle bar
Congrats on your new bike! the handlebars I am using are from a honda grom motorcycle, however any 3/4" bmx style handlebar will work. Just note that the center of the bar needs to be 1" so you will need a 7/8" to 1" handlebar shim.
Nice... Are the motors run separately or combined? It is the hooking up a 2nd motor for front on an already ebike rear motor. If I hook up front hub what will be the connection diagram. I was imagining an extension arm bar for handles and hook up the brake , throttle ect on the long arm bar rest( the one you lean on and arms in front) . Im wondering if I can use 1 controller but not sure the wig up will cause chaos. I really like to know ya experience and your thoughts on my take for tips.
You need a controller for each motor.
He said that he was using a throttle for each motor so he could flip between each motor individually or both at the same time.
If you wanted to use just 1 throttle to control both you need to extend the green signal wire from the throttle to both controllers.
@@jamingaming9251 Believe there is an adapter extension connector to use 2 motors for one controller as well one for two batteries with adapter to use as one. They selling on Amazon.
But you need to run the specs accurately as for 72v controller, both batteries should be at 36v . If controller takes over 80 to over 100v then you can use higher Volts to match but important to match specs of every part.
@@user619tlsdca5 because of the hall sensor the controller knows exactly how far around the motor is. If you try adding a 2nd motor they'll conflict with each other.
If you use brushed motors you can have multiple.
You can use 1 or more 72v batteries per controller/motor they'll need to be wired in parallel, black to black, red to red. Or you can use multiple smaller in series, connecting the red of 1 battery to the black of the other.
One thing I noticed is that your tires are 20•4.0”. Did you keep the Same rims with the 3.0” tire or you changed them so you could put the 4.0” tires ??
These are stock rims and tires for the V1 lectric. They are both 20x4". The front one with the motor is also 20x4.
@@FrankiesWorld I have the XP 3.0 & I wanted to put the 4.0” fat tires on the bike. So if I get it right, I could just swap out the tires on the same rims??
@@bryanpark5321 Got you. TBH I am not sure. I had just recently swapped my 20x4 tires on mine with 20x4.25 but thats not too far off from the stock size. I would think that 4" may be a tad too wide for the 3" rims but I could be wrong. I would do some quick research to make sure beforehand. Sorry I couldnt be of more help on this subject.
Just wondering a simple question, if u had to sell the bike already with all the upgrades, what will be the best price?
Second question: where were u able to get the 48 volts, 20 amps battery? How much was it?
That’s a good question! If I were to try and sell the bike with all the upgrades, I would first try to sell it for $1000 and see if I got any offers just because I hear that upgrades and customizing don’t add to the value. But you never know. The battery and kit I got all from eBay. I have links to all the parts on the video description. Prepare to spend about $500 for the battery and front motor conversion.
Drop the music, please. Natural sound is best. Cool video, thx.
How is the controller for the front motor holding up?
I thinking about picking up a couple of those kits to hold me over until the china shipping situation improves a bit and I can can get a pair of qs 205's.
I know the controllers tend to be the weak link on these low end kits.
So far so good. No issues with the battery or controller 👍🏻
Im trying to be the VERY FIRST WITH THE LITE UPGRADE
I love ur bike bae
Can you clarify which freewheel you bought? Your link pulls up a 28T and a 34T. Thanks for the video
I got the 11/28 T
@@FrankiesWorld thank you!
Awesome what is the weight cap on this bike? Im at 410 coming from 583. Been looking at 3 wheelers also don't know about what fat tires I need not to pop a tube or bend at rim.
Thanks for the comment. According to the website for this specific model it can carry a total weight limit of 330 lbs. that’s including anything on the rear rack.
The brake caliper link doesn't work anymore, is it still on Amazon?
who wants to see only riding of a build!! more interesting to see how it was done screw the rest!!!!!!~
YOU ONLY CARE HOW FAST YOUR BIKE IS GOING NOT THING ELSE!!!
I do have a different brand bike. But could I use a back tire for the front if I am only going to use the throttle ? Since I can get a back tire motor for an inexpensive price.
You might be able to, just keep in mind that DIY ebike kits that are made for the rear tire will have a freewheel gear hooked on to them.
How's the front motor/forks holding up? I've been thinking about doing this but afraid that long-term usage/wear and tear may come back to bite me since these kind of forks weren't made for motor torque.
Tbh…till today I still have the torque arm installed on the one side and have no issues. Millage is at a bit over 2000 now.
@@FrankiesWorld Awesome, thank you for the update!
Does that front motor have a kill switch when you hit the brakes? I'll check randy rides too
The front does not have a kill switch, don’t really need it for the front with my setup because the front motor is not hooked up to the PAS and the throttle is more linear, so as soon as I let off the throttle the power cuts off.
@@FrankiesWorld I have a smaller bike with a front hub only design that when my son hit the throttle by accident after stopping the bike took off flipping end over end the bike was 350 watts. Lol
Any idea where to find a front motor for 20” but it’s skinny width tire not fat tire?
I don’t care about extra weight
Yes, I have seen several different sizes on eBay. Just do a search on front hub motor and you can change the size to what you need or more like what they have available.
Hey, Where did you get the battery from? The link leads to nowhere
@@TTVBippidiBoppidi2 yeah the seller stopped selling it. This one is basically the same thing www.ebay.com/itm/226051916886?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=IZChHuRfQ0y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=lBoRazVCTOu&var=525163551898&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Maybe it can beat mid-drive on uphill.
It probably could! Once both motors kick in you just feel it pull. I’ve gotten it to go 30 mph UPHILL.
