Man that looks like a fun hobby. Where I live there are a lot of "e-bikes" (usual bicycles supported by an electric motor, officially up to 25km/h), but I've never seen such an electric motorbike. I would love an introductory video on the whole topic: how are they different from bicycles and motorbikes (weight, brakes, wheels etc.), how fast do they go, legal stuff and such. Loved all of your videos so far, keep it up!
E-bikes and overclocking!! That's a shop I would love to hang out in. I'm and old school BMX freestyle guy.. built my old 80s bike, a Hutch Trickstar, 3 years ago and it's a shelf queen now lol. Maybe time for an e-bike.
So awesome that you made a YT channel! Thought about my old dual 1080 rig, watched an old OC video you did with JayZtwocents, and then GN popped up with an update on your new space! Looks awesome, cant wait to see what you do with it. You mentioned you thought making videos were more difficult than you thought, but it does not show at all! Great way of explaining things, a good voice for narration, and good filming made this a joy to watch 😊
Hey Vince, you earned yourself a new sub. I'm mainly interested in your hardware adventures but you're such a charismatic dude that you are always interesting to listen to, no matter the topic. I'm a long time fan of EVGA videocards, and obviously EVGA means Kingpin. While I never had the Kingpin cards specifically I do appreciate all the efforts you've done to improve EVGA hardware in general. I hope you'll be able to continue this awesome journey at PNY. I placed below comment on Gamersnexus's his video about you, but I think I'll just copy it here so you'll atleast get to read it. :) I quote: Kingpin is our best news of 2024. As far as I'm concerned PNY, while maybe a small player, never really had any backlash. Ontop of that PNY now has years and years of experience with GPUs. Vince, if you can pull this off, you might bring PNY beyond to what the other 'big three' have to offer. And let's face it, with EVGA being gone, it is not like we have anything to lose when it comes to RMA costumer service, because they are all lackluster. I would just be as happy to own a PNY RTX 5090 as an Asus ROG card so to speak, especially if you lay your hands on it. I'll add however, I would not be in the market for an AIO GPU considering the limited options for installing and pump failures and the liquid vaporizing over time, I'd rather like to see you try to maximize the cooling capacity under air for a normal Kingpin consumer market card aside of the extreme OC ones. Maybe you can even bring it back to a 2 or 2.5 slots card like EVGA has pulled off with the 1080Ti FTW3 just being 2-slots but can still draw +350W yet stay cool enough for normal gaming use with your 'special' release of the OC bioses for those cards giving them a proper unlock, which I have backed up in the wayback archive by the way which was posted on your old forums. ;-) I really like the idea of having the power connectors on the length of the card because in the current situation it is just not great with the limited width cases usually have, even large cases like the HAF 700 EVO would be a tight fit horizontally because they used the space in the width for seperate compartments in the back of the case. Even my old EVGA GTX 460 1GB EE card with the FPB bios had the connectors on the length of the card. Sadly it died however after 3.5 years but received an EVGA GTX560 1GB SC back which is still working today. I'll never forget your EVGA 3D Eclipse video man, that was absolutely beast, please make more of those. I can't believe Nvidia has done EVGA dirty though, ever since the GTX 600 series they started to limit your ability and freedom for overclocking. My friend is still running your EVGA GTX 680 4GB Classified GPUs in SLI today in a secondary PC, yet only one of the two GPUs have an EVBot connector on the PCB.... That tells enough what Nvidia has done since to the company. And his main rig is still running the rock solid EVGA GTX1080Ti FTW3 cards in SLI, they are literally unbreakable tanks of videocards. End quote I do wonder though what you think about the missing EVBot connector on that Classified videocard, whether that was a production error or Nvidia already stopping EVGA there to do hardware-level modifications at that point. On a side note my EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 has never been flashed with your 'fixed' VBIOS for 127% power target, but it has been an incredibly solid card ever since launch and it has been functioning for ten thousands of hours on 117% target without a single-hint of failure. :) Thank you for everything you've done so far, and like I said, I hope to see an EVGA 3D Eclipse type of video again in the future, but at PNY!
Dont really care about bikes or anything. But, this was incredibly entertaining to watch and very aesthetic too. Audio + music was excellent throughout as well.
Hello Kingpin! Here from Gamers Nexus video.. you’re doing incredibly well with your videos considering you’ve not been doing it long! Picture quality, sound and editing are really good. Wishing you the best of luck with your new channel and I will watch with interest. Hope to see some new products from you soon ☺️
Also here from the GN vid... so good to see you back in a sick workshop doing your mad scientist laboratory stuff! When I saw "El Toro" I thought you were about to full send it off the 20 stair set at El Toro high school!
I love building custom electric scooters that're more akin to motorcycles in terms of spec. It's glad to see you're also one of us "battery"heads lmfao!
This is really cool! I plan on doing a somewhat cheap AliExpress 72v hub motor build this winter. I have a fast 60v 6000w E-scooter but my E-bike is just 48v 1500w peak.
Not sure about e-bikes, but motorcycle forks n' thoose are likely very similar. You could always do a spring swap and/or cartridge swap to help sort the front. Heavier springs will help take the big hit of dropping wheelies, but the small bump compliance and front end feel can suffer. I highly recommend talking to your local suspension guru for advice, as the art is a bit of black magic. Love to talk shop with you sometime Vince, bikes and hardware.
New subscriber from GN video. I can’t wait to see what you do with PNY. I would love to see a Kingpin Radeon card to see what you could do with AMD’s chips. On the suspension, have you considered trying a fully adjustable motocross suspension (KYB for example) both front and rear to help alleviate the issues? This could enable you to make adjustments on the fly for rider weight, or trail/road conditions.
Me personally I would adjust one side of the forks and use the axle bolt to align the other side. Slide the second side down and side to side in the position that makes the axle bolt lose as possible by hand. This ensures no side loading on your axle and can prevent uneven tread ware and pulsing front brakes.
Watching the operation I kept thinking you could really use one of those stainless steel medical trays on a wheelbase (like in an operating room or dentist office) to keep all your parts and tools on and next to you well working. I dont know how much you are doing this kind of thing but it looks like often enough that it would be really handy. Might also be nice for filming since you can point at things well talking about them and keep them in frame the whole time. :)
Man I wish these were legal in my country. Have to make do with eMTB. Love the way you explain it even an idiot like me could understand. 100% subbed. If anyone reading this knows a good full teardown and buildup eMTB video please let me know.
I've been waiting for a long time to see a bike video from you. I was actually inspired to built a 12kw 72v 52ah Q76 a couple years ago after seeing yours on GN's channel. I see you've also built a Sur-Ron. How would you compare it with the Qulbix 76 as in weight distribution, geometry, chain noise (vs the quiet hub of the Q76) and so on? I'm also planning to build one myself for offroading and I didn't get to ride one yet, so I was curious of what's your opinion on it.
Hey Vince, love the work you did with EVGA. Just some feedback, notice the difference in the tone of your voice and pacing during the intro and when you get your hands on the equipment at around 2:55 minute mark. You became more relaxed when you got your hands dirty and it improves the quality of the commentary because you're in your element. If you can keep that up through the entire video you're golden.
ebikes always blast to mess around with. Also awesome we may see return with PNY - great company, solid choice -- hope to see some (at least 1 top models) Air Cooled GPU King Pin vs all Liquid. So most of all, simply love to see KingPin ITX Motherboard (AMD) from PNY - something prolly unrealized as a choice.
I am actually building an eBike like that Stealth bomber clone you got there, but with a MID DRIVE motor (although this frame is made only for hub motors). Yeah Kingpin, if you wanna know more, you should look up High Voltage and Lightning Rods. 😉
Used to live off Taishun over by Shida, would have vastly preferred something like this to the old scooter. I'll admit though, Taiwanese traffic definitely knows how to handle having bikes/scooters/motorcycles on the road a lot better than many places I've lived.
You seem a little insecure about being in front of the camera, you'll overcome that in time. I enjoy all of your stuff from EVGA, and I'll continue to follow and see where the future takes you. Good Luck, and continue being you.
Fun projects I'd say you should have a ebike Channel as it will defer from your cooling and gpu focus right 👉 also being able to just talk like you normally would without a script is a skill ask Linus to help 😂.
I'm surprised to see just a simple increase in travel! Is there a lot of off-road madness over there?! Cuz I'd imagine tuning would be WAY better for everyday city rippin than just a longer available stroke, at least from a compliance standpoint! Lol! That thing is super extra bad-ass! Juss try'n to learn about electric motocross! Ive got a '96 Cannondale Super V tha tRisse Racing has rebuilt that Fox Alps rear shock... Often enough to b edigital friends with the dudes! Lol! Sweet video, sweet action!
I want to build my own ebike (like street legal ones, not 16kW monsters) but I hate to figure out what's compatible with what, buying the parts and finding out they don't fit, etc.
Dont really know anything about e-bikes. So interesting to watch your videos. Unrelated Q: The last video you did with GN, with the studio tour - what model are those black and white adidas? I want to grab a pair
Have you thought about doing pre lapped binned CPUs? - a lapped intel CPU coupled with something like the Der8er mounting bracket might be good? Maybe releasing a motherboard with that as the default mounting method? It seems like Intel has a lot of issues with their latest cpus bending over time. There was a very interesting gamers nexus video where during an interview with Noctua, it turns out noctua had to make several different non-flat versions of their latest cooler due to CPUs being not flat. Lapped AMD cpus too.. maybe not financially viable though. You could laser etch your logo/cpu model after lapping 😊I remember your lapping videos.
Here from GN, but we need K|NGP|NG touch on some PNY GPU's. 🙏🏻 they pick you up and say here, let's make some revenue! If they want truck loads of money coming in they'll hire him!
Wanna see your first love... (bike) is it now electric? Petrol? I cant leave my first so she's becoming elec but need the best so is a slow job. and 72v may kill her.
I know it's not the cool thing to do, but cover dem ankle bones with some hi-tops and wear a jacket. As Buffalo Bill would say "you got some nice skin, shame if you lost it."
Here from the Gamers Nexus video. Love what you do man!

I really does look like a fun hobby. I could see myself tinkering away on these! But it also looks like it would get expensive fast haha
Often wondered when we might hear from you again. So glad to see you on GN today!! Looking forward to what's next!!
came here from GN Video.
glad that you are back in field.
I don't really care about e-bikes, but I enjoyed watching and learning about this mod.
Love what u have done with the new studio Vince. KingPin is back baby!
I love all the little details and specs, makes it easy to follow along if I were going to do the same thing.
E-bikes and overclocking!! That's a shop I would love to hang out in. I'm and old school BMX freestyle guy.. built my old 80s bike, a Hutch Trickstar, 3 years ago and it's a shelf queen now lol. Maybe time for an e-bike.

It's so good to see that you are continuing to do what you love. Much love from the UK mate.
All hail the King

Absolute joy to watch, nice to see a passion coming through in good content keep up the good work!
Yay E-bike content :)
Super interested in your custom built bike and any tips/tricks on how you do that - whatever works 🙃
Stay awesome!
Dont really care about bikes or anything. But, this was incredibly entertaining to watch and very aesthetic too. Audio + music was excellent throughout as well.
So sick! Cant wait to see what you do with the controller, keep up the great work!
Hello Kingpin! Here from Gamers Nexus video.. you’re doing incredibly well with your videos considering you’ve not been doing it long! Picture quality, sound and editing are really good. Wishing you the best of luck with your new channel and I will watch with interest. Hope to see some new products from you soon ☺️
What what!!!
Kingpin army!!!
So glad you got a channel top G!
Also here from the GN vid... so good to see you back in a sick workshop doing your mad scientist laboratory stuff!
When I saw "El Toro" I thought you were about to full send it off the 20 stair set at El Toro high school!
JAWS!
So glad you decided to launch your own channel I feel you have a lot to share with us techie folk, thanks for the video
NICE studio man !🤩
That's clean man, nice work!
always wanted a e-bike.
maybe a sur ron...but they are quite hard to get over here. it looks so fun.
I love building custom electric scooters that're more akin to motorcycles in terms of spec. It's glad to see you're also one of us "battery"heads lmfao!
You sold me on an E-Bike when I visited! Great video, bro!
love to see all these videos vinbo.

Very informative and well presented

Great advice, I didn't think of that. Will try it TY!
I just love kingpin Stuff !!!! Hope will see more on gpu and mother board

Steve sent me! Great vid!
Never had a EVGA kingpin but I'm interested in a PNY Kingpin!
I really want one of these. But maybe set up like a cruiser.
more ebike vids vince !!!
Man I wish these were legal in my country.
Have to make do with eMTB.
Love the way you explain it even an idiot like me could understand.
100% subbed.

keep this up good sir.. hopefully this helps spice things up in your career while KINGPIN computer parts are still waiting

Would also throw some volume spacers in the fork as the bike is heavy as.

Kingpin rocks

SLAYER!!!!!
really hope you can get to MSI nothing against PNY but i really like the designs of MSI cards
So...When are we getting a kingpin bike? I don't see anything on the cooling website.
@gamernexus did good job letting us know kingpin got a youtube channel
That intro was so cool :O
Thise bikes are so nice, wish they were legal where i live.
You seem a little insecure about being in front of the camera, you'll overcome that in time. I enjoy all of your stuff from EVGA, and I'll continue to follow and see where the future takes you. Good Luck, and continue being you.
Dang that last video was crAZY that would never happen in America lol
Here from GN. :-)
Fun projects I'd say you should have a ebike Channel as it will defer from your cooling and gpu focus right 👉 also being able to just talk like you normally would without a script is a skill ask Linus to help 😂.
"Thanks Steve" ;)
110% from Sweden
Show us some overclocking
I dunno who you are bro, but I love you. Subbed.

We NEED a full waterblock, active backplate, unlocked 50series KINGPIN card with liquid metal for us watercooling enthusiasts!
I want to build my own ebike (like street legal ones, not 16kW monsters) but I hate to figure out what's compatible with what, buying the parts and finding out they don't fit, etc.
Dont really know anything about e-bikes. So interesting to watch your videos.
Unrelated Q: The last video you did with GN, with the studio tour - what model are those black and white adidas? I want to grab a pair
can I please have XoC bios for PNY 4070 Ti XLR8 VERTO ?
How long does a charge last during a fun ride?
Seen you on Gn video a few mins ago. Keep knocking the sh_t out of VC. A+ bro!!
what brand is that e bike

Maybe you could do some other videos on what it's like to live in Taiwan. :-)
chat says: more Kingpin vidya's plez
e bikes look sick as hell, will you ever make an e bike and sell it as a product?
Wanna see your first love... (bike) is it now electric? Petrol? I cant leave my first so she's becoming elec but need the best so is a slow job. and 72v may kill her.
I know it's not the cool thing to do, but cover dem ankle bones with some hi-tops and wear a jacket.
As Buffalo Bill would say "you got some nice skin, shame if you lost it."
literally got no idea what he's saying but he's literally named kingpin
😅
FOX40 that was about 20 years ago , lol
boost
你好嗎～
I wish the UK allowed shit like this bike. The rules around it here are fucking dumb
Do you like cars?
Bullish
❤❤❤
SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!
