@sixteenornumber This whole bike weighs near 100lbs. I had put it on a scale a while ago. Just shy of 100lbs. with a 210lbs rider, in good outside conditions will hold 50km/h. 31.2MPH (But motor will get warm faster) With a 160lbs rider, it will hold very close to 60km/h average (especially with a lighter frame), again good outside conditions (no wind advantages, no hills) So around 37MPH. I doubt you will be able to cut the weight that much. Batteries: 36lbs, motor 8lbs, etc
@JEHERETIC I would only ship it incomplete (without batteries). I charge 1650$CDN to build only for USA and that will include the shipping. I would usually only do this local. You'll have to buy 3 specific sized 18-20AH SLA batteries local for around 150$ total, from USA, you shouldn't be playing much more than this. Furthermore, I would not be able to include this specific motor as it is unfortunately discontinued. Another one with similar performance can be used,which is the Unite.
@JEHERETIC If you were to come and pick it up, I would only charge 1450$CDN and batteries included. It will have similar or the same frame as this. A mid quality frame for a high performance motor, there's some things you'll have to consider. The frame used will not be some 1000$ frame, but rather, around 400$. For this particular use, and given you are not going over heavy bumps all the time, shocks will last years. A high quality frame, and motor system I charge up to 2500$CDN
@JEHERETIC As well, all other gadgets, lights, speedometer, on-board charger, Maintenance book are included in those prices. As for the batteries. If shipped. All wires will already be in their appropriate location, as well coded, so it will be as easy as a screw driver, and placing the contacts in place. Bike will be tested prior, with other batteries in that case. Once contacts have been tightend to battery, and the two battery harnesses tightened, it's ready to turn on and go.
I'm building a bike in the same style as Kaneda's bike in AKIRA and i'm searching for the best way to power it. I like your system and I think it would work perfectly for my bike.
@FrenchValleyAirport And you dont have to worry about insurence money! I hate it when people pick on green technolgy, its another sign that they are OUTDATED
@luc59457 Any idea as to how heavy it is? Does it produce enough torque to get you going so you don't have to assist in pedaling? I have been looking at the Stealth Bikes, but i am not sure that i want to spend 10grand on one.
@TheManInDboX Slightly over 100lbs. You don't need to assist to get going but I usually give it a small push from a stop to be easy on the #25 chain, at least until I get the reinforced version. Hey can you tell me something? Why is youtube so messed up? Why did youtube even allow Fred to get in the spotlight? It's messed up here.
@TheManInDboX I recommend using RockShox for this bike at minimum, due to its speed and front weight. The original will hold up for a couple of years, maybe more depending on how you ride it and in what conditions, but the stock shocks for this frame are just crappy.
@LtBudmoker Because they get the job done. So do V-brakes. Sure they will use up faster, but it's not hard to know ahead of time when they need to be changed.
@TF141Afterburner So was I. It's not something that happens too fast nor is it too expensive. I rather v-brakes just in the front. Easier to change pads.
@luc59457 aahhh, i also have a question, if this thing is capable of exceeding the speed limit on some roads, does it have to be a registered vehicle?
@TF141Afterburner It's a homemade build, it hasn't even been patented so they wont be able to register it unless it's a vehicle that can pass all standards. The main thing is, like any vehicle, it is capable of speeding and we try as best as possible to follow the speed limits. In the case of Electric Bicycles a whopping 32km/h! in my area lol. Oh and never forget the helmet.
@luc59457 ah, because i was thinking of making my own, only trying to be able to get to a high top speed like 100Km/h but yeah, well, thanks for the advice :)
@TF141Afterburner You don't need 100k on a bicycle, nobody needs that kind of attention. It gets were it needs to go fast enough at this speed using less watts overal making it more efficient. Sure racing can be fun, but it's overal use is whats most important. If you want something meant for 100k an more, build an electric motorcycle I would recommend.
@TF141Afterburner I'm pretty sure you would need to, even if it was already registered as a gas bike and you decide to convert it, you'll have to get it re-registered.
@quinn1947 It averages 37-38mph, not on high gear. I wouldn't use more than 4 unless going downhill, maybe 5. I don't need the 8 sprocket cassette, but it's still nice to have anyways.
You know whats bullshit about electric bikes? Or at in my state this is true. My state allows it, but some towns don't allow it. I don't know if this is the case in other states or not. But it's bullshit. With this being the case how are you suppose to ride it effectively like to work and stuff. Is there anything I can do about this? If you know please send me a reply.
@vistigioful Lobby your government. Cal the transportation ministry and file a complaint of which specific towns authorities are prohibitting it. If the towns authorities within the state that is allowing it are prohibitting it, the law enforcement would be braking the law. I would report the officer to head office management, and if that doesn't work, persist at your government. If what you are saying is true, sounds like something worthy to correct.
i was cringing on the thought what if the de-railer buckled with the stress,what a mess it would make rapping the chain around the frame and cassette,but i love your project good job!
@Drumbro720 Centrifugal force is due to the effects of inertia that arise from rotation and which are experienced as an outward force away from the center of rotation, the larger the radius, and the faster the spinning means more force. It doesn't have to do with friction at all, friction is a resistance to external forces, and not enough friction is the reason why the light fell off, since the centrifugal force became stronger than the frictional force.
@justvaporize1 I understand what centrifugal force is, I actually said it's "fictional", as in not existing. (i didn't say "frictional"). Centrifugal force is a fictitious force because it isn't a force, only a made up reaction to the centripetal acceleration (the force keeping something in a circle) in a non-intertial reference frame. Make sense?
When you're driving around a corner, there isn't any real force pushing you out against the window (centrifugal), it's the window pushing into you.
@pidos847 I've ridden this in the rain.. It's good to cover the controller, I use something temporary for the rain, to cover it. The rest is pretty much sealed and of no risk of shorts.. It's good to wipe off any bike right after riding in rain and apply chain oil on the chains and use non water based lubricant for the bearings.
I am about to make one like this. What type of motor are you using? Where can I get a motor like that? What is your top range??? Have you ever thought of putting a small car alltinator on it???
Cool Bike! I'm currently looking into building an e-bike but I need more info. I've checked alot of sites but they sell their conversion kits for outrageous prices. I was wondering if you had any good sites or companies that sell conversion kits that operate as well as yours. Any info would be highly appreciated. Thanks
@pidos847 Thesuperkids(dot)com have got lots of new motors in recently (incl. the currie at 139 but with the geardrive, you'll have to inquire with them for without), I never bought from them, so any feedback or websites with feedback would be appreciated, so I can officially advertise them. I will look into it later myself. Monsterscooterparts(dot)com have some interesting motors, they use to have the currie at 109. I got the 2 Unite My1020 motors for the Super Hawg their, on my latest video
@luc59457 Awesome thanks would you happen to know a site that makes them or what the assembly is called Thanks again :) Figuring this out i would be able to use tolling motor Batteries and get it to go around 50-100 miles without a charge. we used to use them all day on fishing Turnny's and the new one's are even better :) just use a bike rack over the rear tire to mount them on would make it stable and safer :)
@samus989 Chain doesn't go, this is an old video. Ratio was changed, back deraileur was changed (before it would break) The only problems I have are minor. Cotter pin breaks, front motor chain stretches. Never had a chain snap and fly at me, they would just fall off and hang down, they don't get caught in anything.
Lol dude you seriously need to get bigger brake discs or you're gonna find yourself seriously fucked when your brakes overheat if you brake from like 70km/h. >.<
@sampsalol No, I seriously don't.. I don't go 60-70 most of the time, and when I do it brakes fast. It's a matter of changing the pads a bit faster than you normally would without the extra appoximately 50lbs.
@luc59457 - Yes, we can end up shredding the tires, go through several bike gears and chains and sometimes we might even fry the motors unless we give them thorough care but it is a sure guarantee that hobbyists will be in for some serious, all-out high-speed fun!

@AAVista It takes a lot more energy to hold those speeds, so you need the batteries to take them, and they aren't cheap around here! Plus you have to consider changing them! In Canada, the roads get weathered in the changing seasons, so I don't expect as nice roads here as in the USA, for the most part.
@luc59457 The 60+ MPH figure, by the way, was achieved with the rider on board! The 120+ MPH claimed on the title of your video is apparently a theorical no-load top speed.
@AAVista That point has been made a long time ago, in my videos titles. The 60+ mph range has been achieved on several electric bicycles throughout the world, that I've seen. It's not news to me.
@AAVista It is fun to watch really souped up electric bicycles, one could make one that is 80+mph, but they would most likely kill themselves on regular roads at those speeds in a short period. 60km/h is a good speed for a bicycle like this, I would not want to go much more for too long. Unless I was stuck on a drag strip all the time.
I saw an identical bicycle to this one in another video; with electric power, battery, motor and the works - and it already exceeds 60 miles per hour!
@AAVista I've seen some too.. They usually get pretty expensive, and for what it's worth I am very satisfied with the performance of this, and wouldn't trade it for a 60mph one.
@KenMacMillan The derailleur is to change gears and is for more power/speed options. If I only had 1st gear, I would have lots of power, but I would not be going much faster than 40km/h.
I have a Mini 40 Mile Busettii bike and it runs 50-55 miles on one battery charge. I also tried my friends Vortex Mountain bike by Busettii. It ROCKS ! Can get up to 32 mph top speed, and on one charge that bike set the new record of 86 miles. Hope it becomes a big hit. In California many people like Busettii because they cost around $1700 but can go 50--86 miles on one charge depending on model. Maria in Cali
@luc59457 Hey I dont think she is spamming, maybe she just likes her bike. I have a Busettii Bike and it runs about 55--65 miles on each charge. I think people are just leaving their opinions about e-bikes duh, isn't that what these comment areas are for ?? peoples comments??? The new Vortex mountain bike runs 86 miles on one battery charge. Check it out, Rainbow
@doubletriplerainbow Yes they are for peoples comments... Comments that are constantly copied and pasted to the same or different video/channel to me is spam... She could be a little creative and change up the comments a bit on different videos, then it wouldn't look like copy and paste spam to be placed on different videos, etc.
@victorvtwl A Skateboard can't turn as fast as this, especially at high speeds! Plus, hit a small pot hole at these speeds with a Skateboard and compare it to this, come back to me if you live to see the difference.
I don't see why e-bikes are usually based on low end mountain bikes, personally i think they should built either around a mid-range to high end mountain bike or a steelframed rigid frame and fork touring bike.
I would not trust that chain, tire, or front free wheel going any faster then 30-35MPH. That chain flies off and gets caught in the 12-14ga spokes your screwed.
@rockinrob1970 wuss. Had it running fine for 2 years. Chain gets stretched, tensioner takes care of it. It had to be replaced not that long ago, just fell off and nothing broke. It is very cheap to get in the lengths. The bicycle chain and freewheel are still fine. It will do about 38Mph average (give or take) with me, but I rarely go above 27mph because the roads are rough and the laws are 32km/h here.
@funintegras It was made with parts from different locations. Mostly electricscooterparts. It was assembled and designed using a bearing cup-holder as the piece which the freewheel screws into and is welded aligned and centered to the pedal arm end. I show some videos of the construction of the freewheel crank. I suggest you look through them, some of the evolution videos also talk about the freewheel crank.
This would be better if DIARRHEA was applied to the back tire first. A hot, foul, nasty, smelly nightmare from your ASS being broadcasted over everything in the room. :-)
@danthemanzizzle There is no load here worth mentioning. In comparison to someone on it and in comparison to no chain, etc. It is a very light load not even worth mentioning.
@danthemanzizzle I agree, and the only reason this did was because it was an old ratio, not suitable for the road, way too long of gears, ratio was too low.
@rayfl502 There is this elder guy around the area, has a tricycle on a Trimmer motor, I'd say around 50CC, does a nice steady 50km/h, He beat me by a bit because I was pulling someone in a trailer and the batteries were less than half full... I still want a rematch someday lol.
@luc59457 I have never considered riding anything like this but last month saw a really cool electric trike on CL , it had a claimed speed of 55. I suppose that technology has really come a long way as they say.
@danthemanzizzle Ratio has been changed several times to get the best performance out of this. You can see examples of the new ratio on my later videos.
@patrikk777 Nothing has went yet, other than the motor from the first ratio. I live around rough roads and I have went over bumps at 55-60km/h but usually around 40. Had this frame for around 2 years now. Changed the batteries once, but didn't have to. I will end up using them again.
@1meandmyshadow Sure.What type of conversion are you looking into? There's lots of types of e-bikes out there.This one?If you are unsure,you can list what kind of specifications you are looking for, and I will help to the best of my knowledge.If you are looking into this one,I will send the info in a personal message.Unfortunately the motor for this has been discontinued other than at electricscooterparts,but it comes with the whole wheel assembly and gearbox. You'll need to inquire for separate
@1meandmyshadow thesuperkids(dot)com have a similar motor called the BMC 1000w, not sure of its Rpm... It will also need a compatible 100amp "peak" controller and around 40amps rated, to get the same performance as this but not vital. I really try to stick away from helping with other similar motors in-case of slight differences effecting performance and durability. If it has no more than 2600rpm at rated voltage, like the Currie, I will be able to assist with proper gear ratio.
@1meandmyshadow Here is the site to the Bmc motor with the "original" controller. superkids(dot)stores(dot)yahoo(dot)net/10wabrmofors(dot)html erase (dot) and replace with periods.
@NeeKroVal I beg to differ. I have a video on my channel where I ride the bike with a trailer and a 150lbs person in it at "50km/h". I have even pulled 180lbs in it for about 10kms.
@sixteenornumber That means your frame will have to weigh less than 16lbs.

I got the 2 Unite My1020 motors for the Super Hawg their, on my latest video

Where did you get thats Front Sprocket ? or did you make it. Curious because it looks to work well can you still pedal the bike ?

@MrPenobe Made it, it is still lasting, you can also buy it premade, saves the welding.
luc59457 8 months ago
@luc59457 Awesome thanks would you happen to know a site that makes them or what the assembly is called Thanks again :) Figuring this out i would be able to use tolling motor Batteries and get it to go around 50-100 miles without a charge. we used to use them all day on fishing Turnny's and the new one's are even better :) just use a bike rack over the rear tire to mount them on would make it stable and safer :)

@MrPenobe Still have to buy the sprockets for the proper ratio, and assemble the bolts nuts and spacers.

@samus989 Chain doesn't go, this is an old video. Ratio was changed, back deraileur was changed (before it would break) The only problems I have are minor. Cotter pin breaks, front motor chain stretches. Never had a chain snap and fly at me, they would just fall off and hang down, they don't get caught in anything.

@luc59457 - Yes, we can end up shredding the tires, go through several bike gears and chains and sometimes we might even fry the motors unless we give them thorough care but it is a sure guarantee that hobbyists will be in for some serious, all-out high-speed fun!

AAVista 1 year ago
@AAVista It takes a lot more energy to hold those speeds, so you need the batteries to take them, and they aren't cheap around here! Plus you have to consider changing them! In Canada, the roads get weathered in the changing seasons, so I don't expect as nice roads here as in the USA, for the most part.
luc59457 1 year ago
@luc59457 The 60+ MPH figure, by the way, was achieved with the rider on board! The 120+ MPH claimed on the title of your video is apparently a theorical no-load top speed.
AAVista 1 year ago
@AAVista That point has been made a long time ago, in my videos titles. The 60+ mph range has been achieved on several electric bicycles throughout the world, that I've seen. It's not news to me.
luc59457 1 year ago
@AAVista It is fun to watch really souped up electric bicycles, one could make one that is 80+mph, but they would most likely kill themselves on regular roads at those speeds in a short period. 60km/h is a good speed for a bicycle like this, I would not want to go much more for too long. Unless I was stuck on a drag strip all the time.
luc59457 1 year ago
I saw an identical bicycle to this one in another video; with electric power, battery, motor and the works - and it already exceeds 60 miles per hour!
AAVista 1 year ago
@AAVista I've seen some too.. They usually get pretty expensive, and for what it's worth I am very satisfied with the performance of this, and wouldn't trade it for a 60mph one.

At least it's got disc brakes. If it has so much power what's the point of the derailleur?

@KenMacMillan The derailleur is to change gears and is for more power/speed options. If I only had 1st gear, I would have lots of power, but I would not be going much faster than 40km/h.

I have a Mini 40 Mile Busettii bike and it runs 50-55 miles on one battery charge. I also tried my friends Vortex Mountain bike by Busettii. It ROCKS ! Can get up to 32 mph top speed, and on one charge that bike set the new record of 86 miles. Hope it becomes a big hit. In California many people like Busettii because they cost around $1700 but can go 50--86 miles on one charge depending on model. Maria in Cali

I would not trust that chain, tire, or front free wheel going any faster then 30-35MPH. That chain flies off and gets caught in the 12-14ga spokes your screwed.

@rockinrob1970 wuss. Had it running fine for 2 years. Chain gets stretched, tensioner takes care of it. It had to be replaced not that long ago, just fell off and nothing broke. It is very cheap to get in the lengths. The bicycle chain and freewheel are still fine. It will do about 38Mph average (give or take) with me, but I rarely go above 27mph because the roads are rough and the laws are 32km/h here.

@funintegras It was made with parts from different locations. Mostly electricscooterparts. It was assembled and designed using a bearing cup-holder as the piece which the freewheel screws into and is welded aligned and centered to the pedal arm end. I show some videos of the construction of the freewheel crank. I suggest you look through them, some of the evolution videos also talk about the freewheel crank.

You'll need to inquire for separate
luc59457 1 year ago
@1meandmyshadow thesuperkids(dot)com have a similar motor called the BMC 1000w, not sure of its Rpm... It will also need a compatible 100amp "peak" controller and around 40amps rated, to get the same performance as this but not vital. I really try to stick away from helping with other similar motors in-case of slight differences effecting performance and durability. If it has no more than 2600rpm at rated voltage, like the Currie, I will be able to assist with proper gear ratio.
