You should start a community group based on promoting DIY projects. Like DIY Surrons, DIY e-bikes, DIY e-skates, DIY mobility scooters, and you get the idea.
People on ebikes move just as much as people on normal bikes.😂 its weird but they did a whole science on it😂 i believe the distance traveled is way longer by the ebike people in comparison to the normal bike people😅 thereby evening it out. (Dis does not include throttle ebikes😂😂)
I’m a mountain biker and love your videos! This is cool. Great job. You made it! Seat up when climbing helps, but I find myself climbing seat down on my Ebike, feet closer to the ground always gives you that confidence to go faster🤘🏻
bike looks so ugly, would never ride that shii, better to just get a hub motor on those type of bike so it looks better rather than have a ballsack drop in the middle.
Hey dude, climbing with the seat down is terrible for your knees, and waaay less efficient. Also you shouldn't be scared to climb, descending is the far scarier part haha
I've been into diy ebikes for 2 years now and I'm saving to build one myself since Sur Rons in Europe, if not registered, are only offroad legal, you can't ride them on the street with no registration and license and get away with it. So it's very exciting to see you step into the Diy ebike theme. That's some amazing content to look forward to!
@@painexotic3757 Make sure you buy a battery with battery cells from a certified company like Samsung or LG. Cheap chinese batteries are the ones that burst into flames and burn houses. And probably look to buy it from a certified site too or even better, from a shop close to you.
sur rons are not road legal in any US state to my knowledge (might be a few exceptions). they are not mopeds because of power/speed/lack of pedals. I dont know how people get away with not being registered/insured, etc Probably in many states you could equip them with road legal lights/mirrors, register/insure them, but no one seems interested in that It only takes one cop or one accident to put you in trouble.
I have an incredible latest addition carbon fiber Specialized Stumpjumper that’s been collecting dust, waiting for something like this to come along. You’ve provided the blueprint for the next chapter of my lifelong cycling journey.
I have owned a Bafang BBS 2 mid-drive 750 watt kit with Panasonic 10.6 Ah battery. Used it on more than one bike. Absolutely fantastic. More bulky and heavy than what is shown here, but for a unit that is over 5 years old, it is a weapon. It has never let me down.
When I usually climb hills with my acoustic dollar store mountain bike, i usually would recommend to start at a high gear, gain speed, then right before hitting the hill lower the gear. I'm not a expert biker, but this usually works for me!
Ok... just specked this out "before" buying a bike. Just the battery and motor adds up to over $1500.... as much as a new 250 hawk street legal motorcycle. That is nuts. Can't wait until this stuff gets cheaper.
Bro that little kid is a little stud I think your community to do a little GoFundMe or something to get this kid a surron x our country needs a lot more of that go-getter attitude as always your the best surronster
I am sure you already know this, but I thought I would mention I have watched all of your videos, and Yes, if / when I buy a Surron or similar it will be 99% because of you and your videos. They are infectious, honest, and informational. This one was a different topic. In that its evidence I am not just watching your videos because its about a surron, a toy I am lusting over. I watched intently on the mountaint bike conversion, which isn't anything I am going to do, or interested in. So what. Well, it was an interesting experiment in how natural and talented you are in providing content and making me want to watch, make me smile, and move on. Congrats to you on all of it. I look forward to all the episodes. and I am 'Stay Tuned'.
13:44 a tip from a mountain biker make the seat hight so that when you sit on it your legs are straight when the pedal is down this will ensure you get maximum foot power down while climbing and not get sore thighs
The part when you showed the kid and his replica was so great, The video of your red surron before was the very first video that I came to know your channel.
On my Surley Wednesday fatbike conversion, I used 2" wide pipe wrap tape to secure the triangle battery to the frame, Sounds half ass, but like yours, it works real well. Then I had a shop sew me a vinyl cover for it, so it like like a frame bag not a battery.
Awesome vid, nice to see the Photon in action! Great choice with CYC motor and BMW battery combo. I guess 12Ah should be decent capacity for 750w but when you start running it over 1000w you'll want more capacity to help with voltage sag. Also fyi I don't think they pronounce it "psych" motor, but it does sound pretty cool that way, heh.
Awesome video. I am also a SoCal local. :) This is a great video on how to get started with the DIY electric mountain bike setup. I love Surron's but there is no way you are going to get away with riding one on the local mountain bike trails around here without getting a lot of complaints from mountain bikers and the cops. This setup solves the problem. Its still a mountain bike with the addition of the fast motor but keeping it stealth. That will get you on the trails without the harrasment. I just built up a full (Downhill) full suspension mountain bike with the mid-drive motor, 52v battery and it is FAST! So much fun, super quiet, looks like a mountain bike, no complaints. Top speed is around 35mph. It will climb any hill no problem. Bike model is the YT Tues. Best bike I ever built! Ton of fun!
Dude you need to put some extra air pressure in the suspension to cancel out the suspension bottoming outfrom the weight of the motor and battery. Great video by the way!
Try standing up when going up the hill and lean forward into the hill to keep the front wheel down. On the mtb gears you want the chain on the physically biggest gear when climbing and stand up on the peals with your weight forward.
It’s because it’s in one of the low skiers that’s why you’re paddling so much. It’s supposed to be in the highest gear if you want to get up hills easier.
I’m not gonna lie that kids gonna make it places coming up with stuff like that at his age obviously his dad would of helped him with bits but still very impressive
3:15 yeah, when im casually riding my really old bike (at least 2 decades old) i can peak at 26 mph. Its a 3 7 gear. 3 front sprockets and 7 in the back. When im riding my road bike that has better suspension, cuz it actually has shocks and a spring system, i could probably push mid to high 30s flat and maybe mid 40s downhill. Im mostly a road biker so its nice for me
I have an ancient Norco Bush Pilot from the early 90s...everytime I walk past it I wonder if it could ugrade...then i realise it needs disc brakes and a front shock of merit. The last time I had it serviced they soaked me for 700 bux, I could have bought half a kit from Parktools for that. I can''t afford to ride it, let alone upgrade it. I did love riding it though. On the other hand I''ve been looking at the e-bike market for a few years now and I've read the laws and I've decided. I''d like to have twin 250w 24v hub motors with the highest torque on the market fed by a single controller with torque management/antislip pulling from a 20AH 52v battery. The battery should be slung as low on the frame as possible. Dual suspension under a banana seat with 26" knobbys. Draw the pedals forward in the frame to accomodate long shanked people, bring the grips back to the rider with monkey bars. The same torque sensor setup you have here. I want an overland bike, I don't need speed. Canada is restrictive, 500w 25mph, so it made sense to split that limit to 2 motors to find more torque. The hitch so far is finding a controller programmed for dual output with the features. A few models over the decade have been dual setups, but with dual throttles. A single input from me should result in sychronous equal effort from both motors at once, until a significant slip is detected and that motor throttles back to regain traction while the other motor maintains it's torsional output. I have CYC in my email, this was a solid review for them too. A top notch product.
Two things, seat up when climbing and don’t try to get a run up like you’re a car, try to keep a constant speed and cadence to climb easier, also keep your eyes on the horizon
I know this is a long time ago and I'm late,But this is the funniest video I've watch in your channel but I'm not quite sure if this is because there is a lot of video that I haven't watched yet
I'm 60 years old and I can honestly say, "I know for a fact that I could ride that Specialized pedal assist bike ALL the way up to the top of that hill".. C'mon G!... hehehe
Dang.. I want this bike so bad. Back when I was motor crossing, four wheeling the boonies I got into 2 major accidents. I didn’t get hurt but my buddies did. So the fear of driving and IG ptsd? Just the crashes really haunt me so that’s why I don’t drive. Mm anyways I use a bike and go Job to Job cause of commute and my brother taking me or picking me up lol 😅 anyways this was cool. I wanna build this for myself hopefully I can save up enough money for this :D Cool Video, I just found this channel looking for e-bikes 😊

same bruh. Only thing I'm afraid of with DIY are the battery fires lol. Don't want a multi-thousand dollar investment to go up in flames.
@@painexotic3757 Make sure you buy a battery with battery cells from a certified company like Samsung or LG. Cheap chinese batteries are the ones that burst into flames and burn houses. And probably look to buy it from a certified site too or even better, from a shop close to you.
Sure you can, just avoid cops and ride slower during the day and faster during the evening/Night when there is less people around report you.
It will be this 1 time getting caught by cops for not having a licence plate which is enough for your bike to be gone, you can't always escape them
sur rons are not road legal in any US state to my knowledge (might be a few exceptions). they are not mopeds because of power/speed/lack of pedals. I dont know how people get away with not being registered/insured, etc

Dust that thing off, that's a sick bike!
I have an older CF stumpy and thinking about doing them same thing, how did your turn out?
I have owned a Bafang BBS 2 mid-drive 750 watt kit with Panasonic 10.6 Ah battery. Used it on more than one bike. Absolutely fantastic. More bulky and heavy than what is shown here, but for a unit that is over 5 years old, it is a weapon. It has never let me down.
In saying that, I'm tempted by the lighter and more compact Photon!
Qq
as a mountain biker it was so hard to watch him try to climb the hill with his suspension not locked out
also, on such low gear
thanks for the tip lol
11:26 the fact bro asked right away if the cameraman was safe just shows Sur's kindness
The kid that built his own surron is a genius
When I usually climb hills with my acoustic dollar store mountain bike, i usually would recommend to start at a high gear, gain speed, then right before hitting the hill lower the gear. I'm not a expert biker, but this usually works for me!
I just like how he's so kind he fell but didn't even care about himself he asked his friend if he was okay love the content man!
This video was great start to finish. Very cool how that kid built his own Surron and so excellent of you to hook him up like that!
I love every single thing about this video!!! The upgrade, the DIY surron, the crashlanding 😂❤ so cool!!
It was fun watching some old school biking with that hill climb after adding the electric
Dang 28mph! Perfect example of power to weight ratio in action, don't need very much when you're pushing something light.
You’ve gotten so professional since when I started watching you, and you’ve got so many subs and caused such a positive effect on the pev industry too
always a good day when this man uploads :)
Ok... just specked this out "before" buying a bike. Just the battery and motor adds up to over $1500.... as much as a new 250 hawk street legal motorcycle. That is nuts. Can't wait until this stuff gets cheaper.
I'm seriously thinking of getting one of these kits and bro that kids Sur Ron was fire.
This shows everyone you can enjoy yourself with a ebike even if your on a budget I made my own and totally love it
Bro has beef with exercise💀💀
eh at least he comes by it honest
R u a child
he did amazing on the jumps
Love all the different things you do man and all the information u give to find the best upgrades, so cool to see how far u have come

Just received full carbon body of mountin bike and this video is just giving me crazy ideas to build something crazy
just a tip to get faster and easier to pedal lock out the front forks and add more compression to the rear shock
been looking all month for a used mtb for exactly this. Now i NEED it lol
Really cool move with that kid. His bike was actually cool as hell
13:44 a tip from a mountain biker make the seat hight so that when you sit on it your legs are straight when the pedal is down this will ensure you get maximum foot power down while climbing and not get sore thighs
That kid is a future genious. Sick how he just made it work
@benslowriders is already a goat I can’t wait to see what he will do once he gets into welding territory
@@SurRonster within 10 yrs he can have his own shop
yeah he is
genius*
Heres a tip lock your suspension while riding it on Hils and and top speeds😊
I have a BBS02 on my Kona Stinky and love it. My only complaint is its size so if I ever need to replace it then the Photon seems like a good option!
We basically all started on manual peddling…. They deserve respect
" im gonna make my bike better. First step buy a new bike"
The part when you showed the kid and his replica was so great, The video of your red surron before was the very first video that I came to know your channel.
"grease up my shaft and slide it in" sounds so wrong lmao 6:40
Sur Ronster: top speed on pedal bike 18 mph
Me: 36 mph on a rough road racing DH
love it😍
"grease up my shaft and slide it in"
Bro knew what he was doing
no he didn't - it is ACTUALLY called a shaft, and you DO slide it in - you just have a dirty mind
On my Surley Wednesday fatbike conversion, I used 2" wide pipe wrap tape to secure the triangle battery to the frame, Sounds half ass, but like yours, it works real well. Then I had a shop sew me a vinyl cover for it, so it like like a frame bag not a battery.

That kid is freaking amazing holy sh*t much respect
Anyone watching in 2028 ?
You should try mountain biking with it
never knew bro has a literal BEASTMODE that is one of my dream bikes
on the hill climb, extend the seat post so your weight is balanced better over the front and you will make it to the top easier
Dudes got a spesh carbon epic..one of the best xc bikes out there
Dude you need to put some extra air pressure in the suspension to cancel out the suspension bottoming outfrom the weight of the motor and battery. Great video by the way!
I built one of these and its frikken awesome. You can unrestrict in the app for up to 2kw!
Try standing up when going up the hill and lean forward into the hill to keep the front wheel down. On the mtb gears you want the chain on the physically biggest gear when climbing and stand up on the peals with your weight forward.

It’s because it’s in one of the low skiers that’s why you’re paddling so much. It’s supposed to be in the highest gear if you want to get up hills easier.

this is the first surronster video ive watched
"You good? I'm good too.. That was kinda cool!!" 🤣😂
Bro you're so funny but also informative
Yeah brother, I need one of these coz I ride my mtb (hardtail) everywhere, road and tracks. I’d have one that’s electric and one that’s normal.
That bike that kid made is dope as fun, he did a great job.
You get a free like, just for the cleaning 😫 so satisfying
This is why I love your content, you ride se bikes and me too. And surron nah you a goat ❤️🐐

I’m not gonna lie that kids gonna make it places coming up with stuff like that at his age obviously his dad would of helped him with bits but still very impressive
Surronster and Sam pilgrim would be such a good colab
Awesome video, I was actually thinking about doing a similar ebike conversion myself!
Aw i wanted you to do an electric project on that first throne bmx bike you had out.
that jump was fire bro
3:15 yeah, when im casually riding my really old bike (at least 2 decades old) i can peak at 26 mph. Its a 3 7 gear. 3 front sprockets and 7 in the back. When im riding my road bike that has better suspension, cuz it actually has shocks and a spring system, i could probably push mid to high 30s flat and maybe mid 40s downhill. Im mostly a road biker so its nice for me
4:00 these e bikes got you out of shape boi lol, endurance riding helped me, but i still got rlly weak lungs.
Nice DYI build and thanks for expanding our possibilities!
Glad to see there are still kids getting out and using their imagination.
I have an ancient Norco Bush Pilot from the early 90s...everytime I walk past it I wonder if it could ugrade...then i realise it needs disc brakes and a front shock of merit. The last time I had it serviced they soaked me for 700 bux, I could have bought half a kit from Parktools for that. I can''t afford to ride it, let alone upgrade it. I did love riding it though. On the other hand I''ve been looking at the e-bike market for a few years now and I've read the laws and I've decided. I''d like to have twin 250w 24v hub motors with the highest torque on the market fed by a single controller with torque management/antislip pulling from a 20AH 52v battery. The battery should be slung as low on the frame as possible. Dual suspension under a banana seat with 26" knobbys. Draw the pedals forward in the frame to accomodate long shanked people, bring the grips back to the rider with monkey bars. The same torque sensor setup you have here. I want an overland bike, I don't need speed. Canada is restrictive, 500w 25mph, so it made sense to split that limit to 2 motors to find more torque. The hitch so far is finding a controller programmed for dual output with the features. A few models over the decade have been dual setups, but with dual throttles. A single input from me should result in sychronous equal effort from both motors at once, until a significant slip is detected and that motor throttles back to regain traction while the other motor maintains it's torsional output. I have CYC in my email, this was a solid review for them too. A top notch product.
Can't wait to see that 7k watt conversion.
