I put basically the same motor on a stealth type frame in 2021 (3000w) and I love it. It's my daily driver...weather permitting. The frame is quite heavy of course but I decided to go for something that absolutely wouldn't fatigue over time. I wish more people could experience how much fun these big motors are, thanks for posting.
My build was the 1500-watt kit, on a Shwinn Axum 29' mountain bike. It is great, and still very lightweight. Long ranges with regen with only a 20 Ah battery 60 miles and top speed of 37 mph. It's not high torque but a nice gradual speed build-up. But I still did a steel plate on the drop-out. Super fun commuting all summer.
Finally another one who builds a solid custom torque arm beside me. I always wondered what those seller (and users) of those motors with the dinky notched washers are thinking.
Nice video! I used UPP cell batteries on my ebike and atv, and they are extremely well built as seen in tear-downs. Highlighy recommended. They make universal tq arms I show in my bike video. Yours are gnarly, and in a good way- should have room to grow with that setup; thank you!
@@Tomas-ml9nv It's like places banning Juul, they just target the biggest manufacturer representing a market. I've used, tested, opened many lithium battery packs. UPP , in my experience, uses better BMCs, double solder points on cells, and they're internal wiring further showcases their workmanship. Others I've purchased have came w wrong power supply, have shody wiring or BMC failed. And even more I've purchased were actually UPP batteries rebranded. Nonetheless appreciate your reply and input! whatcha using in your builds?
You should be able to swap the 5 speed cassette with an 8 speed one and have it take up the same amount of space. The 8 and 5 speed are the same size, just on the 8 each chainring is closer together. Edit: Also, pretty sure the pedal assist sensor goes on the opposite side of the cranks to the front cassette.
@@yeredfarias7662 😅 What is the video you would like me to create? I made the bike but have no decent camera to make some quality riding videos. I will make a phone video of anything.

Pretty cool.. Yeah, some controllers you can program to have milder start up or delayed power at take off. Or the display will actually have settings for take off sensitivity.
Hi, after watching your video I have decided to build a 5000w myself, and I have a couple questions regarding your build which may help me. 1. The wire coming out of my hub motor (and it looks to be yours), there seems to be 2x plugs that are exactly the same (not the o-ring plugs, the other one), did you just leave one plugged in to none and plug the other one into the controller (I noticed for my controller there is only 1 plug made for this one coming out of the motor) 2. How did you stretch out your battery bag to get rid of lumps and creases and make it look better? 3. How do you pull out the frame to make it (2.5") wider so it can fit? 4. What type and size file did you use for the dropout? And purchased from where? 5. With the blue wire (speed limiter), is there a way for you to choose what the maximum speed is? Just because where I live its 25kmh. Thank you so much, and awesome build!
1. I can't remember 2. It was like that from new 3. We only had to pull it out about .5". 4. Flatbastard metal file 5. You can set max speed in the screen.
@@porkercon Ok great thanks. I contacted the supplier and there is 2 wires with all kits, one is used as spare. And about pulling out your frame .5", how do you actually do that? Did another person help you, and you just pull it out and put the axel from the motor and put the spacers on? Is there any tools you have to use?
All that extra strength? Off road use only? My 3000w motor with an 80 amp controller on a 72v 20 a/h battery does 65 mph on a 25 year old Kona mountain bike and I use it everyday to go to work on. Most times I am at full speed going to work and I only use 2 torque arms with no welded frames for extra strength as its over kill and it's perfectly safe if you know how to handle the immense power it can throw at you. Nothing is too powerful !
@@porkercon Not really. It's still a bicycle which means it has pedals that can be used to increase your speed. I can cruise at 50 kph on a straight away.
Hello mate im a fan, absolutely love the brillant torque arm design but i have got one question. How do you stretch out the frame by 2.5cm like what u mentioned in the video.
6:00 If they had stored the velcro straps wrapped around the bag as apposed to around itself it would have been more obvious how they are supposed to be used to secure the bag. The velcro goes on top. at 6:13 you have the bag upside down trying to install the bag as though you'd be wearing it as a fanny pack. The vecro goes from the top, around the bag, under the panier, back up around the bag to the top.
Having a check engine light on your display can be due to multiple factors. You should look for the error code written on the screen and refer to your display manual to see what is the error related to.
can you please confirm if you bought from that exact seller? ND Ebike Factory Store- this seller. I had problems with scammers this year on AliExpress but I want to order this kit. Thanks in advance
Flip you off with 1/4 throttle, crikey!!! Thank you so much for sharing this build. Do you have any footage of it in action? What kind of range do you get out of battery?
Then why do you suggest painting to disguise it's size? It's illegal to use on public highways without a motorcycle license, reg and insurance in the UK as it is here in Canada and the US.

I never understand why people say things like “1000w , 3000w, 5000w ebike” as if that’s what type of power they are pushing. These numbers are the potential power if you have that type of power to send to it. Yes 72v at 24ah could produce 1728w. But that controller and the thin gauge wire would never push higher than 200w. And if your battery has a BMS, it is definitively limiting you to around 10a max All this before it hits the controller. That controller is limiting your actual power. Without a doubt. A real 1000w to the hub motor light bike frame wouldn’t be able to lock a tire on the pavement. At 200w you should be able to pull 70. At 1000w you should be over a hundred.
Blame the people selling them as that. 350w motors are garbage and go slow. A "1500w" motor we have on a bike gets really really hot when using it, I wouldn't want to imagine what it would do if it was truly getting 1500w.
Companies mark these Hub motors as 1500w or what ever wattage because they are "capable" of reaching that threshhold. But the question is always, for how long? 5-10 seconds at max? and then they need to cool down. I mean, I doubt people are going full throttle to the wall every second they drive but still...@@porkercon
"72v at 24ah could produce 1728w" Nope this means the battery has a capacity of 1728 Wh. It has to do with range not power. The amperage of that FAT battery is much more than 24 amps (probably at least 80 amps). I think the battery and this motor are a good match.
@@speedsterh If we are assuming this is a real 3000w motor, then it would need 42a to reach its potential energy. Looking at the bike, wiring, even from the motor to the controller, its way too thin guaged to handle that power. It would over heat, short, melt in moments.... My theory is that yes, the motor "could" be 3000w, but that controller is severely limiting its power to the motor. This is also assuming that battery is capable of discharging 42a without over heating or having some sort of thermal disaster. There would need to be a BMS system to deal with these issues. But this bike has a "dumb" battery. Therefore, my grief is when companies put inferior parts on a bike, but then say "oh its 3000w because the motor is 3000w" but then battery, wiring, controller are only capable of lets say 1000w... It's a scam. super scummy.
84v hot off the charger x 60 amps = 5,040 watts. That's your peak; it won't run quite that strong for sustained pulls. I imagine this setup easily holds 3-4 kilowatts at full throttle. If it didn't there's no way he'd hit 84 kmh/52 mph @@JohnDoe-ht5vq
Hey man, decent build and good tutorial, i was considering something like this but also was worried about the frame handling the torque, so my theory has been to downgrade to a 1500w 48/52v and just be happy with that for some fun around town and off road weekend rides, do you think i can get away without using a torque arm, or would you say to at least use the original 🤷🏽♂️👍🏽
@@porkerconthan you for your quick response 🙏🏽👍🏽with or without torque arm, I also know of the trick to remove the plastic spacer on the disc brake side from factory, but I'm having slight issues, so the rim fits my frame with all the nuts and spacers but the spacers only fit outside of the frame if I put 1 behind and the other outside with the nut it won't fit between my drop out but it is the correct hub for my drop out,,, any suggestions please.
I have a 1500W/52V kit (does about 1750W fully charged), you're gonna need at least 1 torque arm, or it might spin out of the fork at full power...perhaps not directly, but certainly over the months. I haven't removed my wheel in 2 years since I built it If you're gonna use regen braking, you might even need two torque arms, as the force applied reverses when braking.
thank you for this video, I am going to be building my own ebike from scratch, so I will make my own frame, do you know how far the brake disk mount is from the centre of the wheel, and what is the width of the tyres? thanks
i just got this same kit and putting it together. can you just not connect the pedal assist if you dont wanna use it? and same for that alarm system with the key fob stuff? not sure if some wires need to be shorted together or no... mines got a 48V 1000W on front and this 3000W on rear.. lol😂
Yes friendly advice you can't stick pieces of metal on top of weak metal and claim that is strengthened it because it won't what you've done without sounding rude is you bogged it what you should really do is cut the whole part out and put in stronger metal you're basically Dublin the speed of the bike but you're not doubling the strength of the frame to carry that and you will pay the consequences because you'll start cracking Worlds stability at high speeds my device is cut the whole back part out and easy peasy to world of fresh bit in you can weld it wider to fit the wheel in and you can weld it stronger which will last and will be a solid piece of metal always always uses less metal as possible because that's where your strength comes not by putting one piece on top of another piece unless it runs down the whole length of the frame good luck don't gamble your life on I'm sure that'll be alright
@porkecon is right because these hub motors are not powerful enough to rip apart whole rear triangle of aluminum mtb frame. These torque arms ar mainly to strengthen dropouts because without toque arms you will break original dropout slots when accelerating and motor will rip off it's own wires😂 cool project btw
Hallo, erstmal, wie hast du eigentlich das Hinterrad hineinbekommen? Die meisten Achsaufhängungen haben doch nur ein Rahmen Nabengröße von 130 mm sprich 13 cm und das 4000 Watt Modell hat doch sicher 150er spricht 15 Zentimeter.

Why do people use disc brakes on bikes?? Doesnt the v-brake have way more stopping force because it is farthest from the center of the rotation? This is just basic physics. Or do people get discs for vanity?
Rim brakes are good yes, discs allow you to have a more predictable braking surface, better modulation, better pad material that you can't use on rim brakes. Way to many reasons to go disc when the only reason to go with rim is the distance from centre of rotation.
Biggest advantage would be if he installed hydraulic brakes. Mech disk brakes are about the same stopping power as good v-brakes, but the disks do work a little better under certain conditions, like if the rim gets wet.
V brakes are fine for pedal bikes. Leverage isn't the only factor to consider. Pad surface area and cooling play as much if not more of a role in terms of stopping power. That's why you don't see v brakes on motorcycles. You won't even see them on manufactured e-bikes unless they're cheap or underpowered. That little thin strip of rubber operated by cables is not sufficient enough when you add a 30lb+ motor serving as an unsprung flywheel outputting 10 times as much power as your legs can do. V brakes are designed for leg power, pedal bike weight and speed. Disc brakes are designed for high speed performance on a motorcycle or downhill racing mtb. A good set of hydraulic disc brakes vs v brakes is like the difference between night and day on an e-bike this size.
I just got this same ebike kit from NB power. Unfortunately, when I turn on the throttle it makes a long beeping sound. Any chance would you guys know what that means? The rear wheel doesnt spin. Feels like its locked
Quick question, based off quick digging I see you have the same controller that came stock with my kit. Have you figured out how to fix the overvoltage issue? Anytime my battery charges to more than 84v the system stops working
@@porkercon I ask this because the controller I see you linked and the controller you showed in the vid could possibly be a mismatch lol, but yeah when my charger charged the battery to 84v the bike wouldn’t turn on again
Get a car beside you or if you have one of those radar setups on the road close to you to really test true speed. That display will not be right, actually I have not seen one right yet.
@@porkercon hi, i want to build my own ebike but don t understand one thing, i don t Care a lot about the speed but i want enormous torque, power at the start..what will increase this specifically? Get a 8000w? A better contrôler? Bigger volt on the battery?

I don't get why you would even want gears or peddles or peddle assist they are absolutely useless on a 3000w kit just use your throttle and get rid of all wires all the chain and peddles cleans the bike right up

It's rated for the motor. 120A = >8500 watts. That motor might handle it in very short bursts, but otherwise pointless for a pedal assist e-bike, if not stupid. His legs would never keep up. Nor would his tires. Mtb tires and rims aren't built for that kind of power and speed. I twisted the sidewalls out of my Maxxis with a 3kW hub motor in less than 100km. They're not DOT certified for motorcycle power/speed for a reason.
2:36 - because you're putting a 3000w hub motor on a hardtail dude 😆 Not what the bike or the motor is made for. All that unsprung weight is going straight into your back if you don't bend the tubes first. Find a full suspension bike to put it on. My 3 kW qs hub motor fit the 150mm drop out in my old downhill mtb perfectly before I put it in a proper e-bike frame. Read the specs before buying next time ✌
I don't understand why you build something like this if you are so negative. Then spend more money on better parts, frame, controller, etc. Btw, you don't have to install the pedal assist if you have a throttle

Can this be put on a regular 20" ebike? Would putting it on the front wheel for front wheel drive be more stable?
Probably not since the motor is so big, front would be fine but would put a lot of force on the fork.

A real 1000w to the hub motor light bike frame wouldn’t be able to lock a tire on the pavement.
At 200w you should be able to pull 70. At 1000w you should be over a hundred.
Blame the people selling them as that. 350w motors are garbage and go slow. A "1500w" motor we have on a bike gets really really hot when using it, I wouldn't want to imagine what it would do if it was truly getting 1500w.
Companies mark these Hub motors as 1500w or what ever wattage because they are "capable" of reaching that threshhold. But the question is always, for how long? 5-10 seconds at max? and then they need to cool down.
I mean, I doubt people are going full throttle to the wall every second they drive but still...@@porkercon
"72v at 24ah could produce 1728w"
Nope this means the battery has a capacity of 1728 Wh. It has to do with range not power.
The amperage of that FAT battery is much more than 24 amps (probably at least 80 amps).
I think the battery and this motor are a good match.
@@speedsterh If we are assuming this is a real 3000w motor, then it would need 42a to reach its potential energy.
Looking at the bike, wiring, even from the motor to the controller, its way too thin guaged to handle that power. It would over heat, short, melt in moments....
My theory is that yes, the motor "could" be 3000w, but that controller is severely limiting its power to the motor.
This is also assuming that battery is capable of discharging 42a without over heating or having some sort of thermal disaster. There would need to be a BMS system to deal with these issues. But this bike has a "dumb" battery.
Therefore, my grief is when companies put inferior parts on a bike, but then say "oh its 3000w because the motor is 3000w" but then battery, wiring, controller are only capable of lets say 1000w...
It's a scam. super scummy.
84v hot off the charger x 60 amps = 5,040 watts. That's your peak; it won't run quite that strong for sustained pulls. I imagine this setup easily holds 3-4 kilowatts at full throttle. If it didn't there's no way he'd hit 84 kmh/52 mph @@JohnDoe-ht5vq
Hey man, decent build and good tutorial, i was considering something like this but also was worried about the frame handling the torque, so my theory has been to downgrade to a 1500w 48/52v and just be happy with that for some fun around town and off road weekend rides, do you think i can get away without using a torque arm, or would you say to at least use the original 🤷🏽♂️👍🏽
yep, 1500w is great, 3000w is overkill. My friend has about 6 eBikes right now and he uses the 1500w the most
@@porkerconthan you for your quick response 🙏🏽👍🏽with or without torque arm, I also know of the trick to remove the plastic spacer on the disc brake side from factory, but I'm having slight issues, so the rim fits my frame with all the nuts and spacers but the spacers only fit outside of the frame if I put 1 behind and the other outside with the nut it won't fit between my drop out but it is the correct hub for my drop out,,, any suggestions please.
I'm not sure @@DarkTriad6
I have a 1500W/52V kit (does about 1750W fully charged), you're gonna need at least 1 torque arm, or it might spin out of the fork at full power...perhaps not directly, but certainly over the months. I haven't removed my wheel in 2 years since I built it
If you're gonna use regen braking, you might even need two torque arms, as the force applied reverses when braking.
@@porkerconwhy would you say the 3000w is overkill?
Sounds like a lot i might as well just get a acutel motorcycle, for as much money as this will cost right?
No, its not that expensive. But for many other reasons a motorcycle is a much better idea.
What would be advantage or disadvantage to having battery on rear rack?
Advantage, leaves space on frame, disadvantage, puts all the weight on the rear tire, front end would be very light.
Nice ebike build. I do like your take on the torque arms.
Have you modified the current shunt on the controller for more output?
It is modified to have less output.
thank you for this video, I am going to be building my own ebike from scratch, so I will make my own frame, do you know how far the brake disk mount is from the centre of the wheel, and what is the width of the tyres? thanks
I don't and 2.35
i just got this same kit and putting it together. can you just not connect the pedal assist if you dont wanna use it? and same for that alarm system with the key fob stuff? not sure if some wires need to be shorted together or no... mines got a 48V 1000W on front and this 3000W on rear.. lol😂

Yes friendly advice you can't stick pieces of metal on top of weak metal and claim that is strengthened it because it won't what you've done without sounding rude is you bogged it what you should really do is cut the whole part out and put in stronger metal you're basically Dublin the speed of the bike but you're not doubling the strength of the frame to carry that and you will pay the consequences because you'll start cracking Worlds stability at high speeds my device is cut the whole back part out and easy peasy to world of fresh bit in you can weld it wider to fit the wheel in and you can weld it stronger which will last and will be a solid piece of metal always always uses less metal as possible because that's where your strength comes not by putting one piece on top of another piece unless it runs down the whole length of the frame good luck don't gamble your life on I'm sure that'll be alright
You're wrong, I'm right. Buy us an aluminum welder and training and I might do what you said.
@porkecon is right because these hub motors are not powerful enough to rip apart whole rear triangle of aluminum mtb frame. These torque arms ar mainly to strengthen dropouts because without toque arms you will break original dropout slots when accelerating and motor will rip off it's own wires😂 cool project btw
You might wanna protect those hosethingys from the chain
whats the diffrence between a freewheel and not?
Freewheel has the ratcheting built into the cog cluster, cassette has the ratcheting built into the hub.

Why do people use disc brakes on bikes?? Doesnt the v-brake have way more stopping force because it is farthest from the center of the rotation? This is just basic physics. Or do people get discs for vanity?
Rim brakes are good yes, discs allow you to have a more predictable braking surface, better modulation, better pad material that you can't use on rim brakes. Way to many reasons to go disc when the only reason to go with rim is the distance from centre of rotation.
Biggest advantage would be if he installed hydraulic brakes. Mech disk brakes are about the same stopping power as good v-brakes, but the disks do work a little better under certain conditions, like if the rim gets wet.
@@miket.220 ruclips.net/video/NCdobNDttMM/видео.html
V brakes are fine for pedal bikes. Leverage isn't the only factor to consider. Pad surface area and cooling play as much if not more of a role in terms of stopping power. That's why you don't see v brakes on motorcycles. You won't even see them on manufactured e-bikes unless they're cheap or underpowered. That little thin strip of rubber operated by cables is not sufficient enough when you add a 30lb+ motor serving as an unsprung flywheel outputting 10 times as much power as your legs can do. V brakes are designed for leg power, pedal bike weight and speed. Disc brakes are designed for high speed performance on a motorcycle or downhill racing mtb. A good set of hydraulic disc brakes vs v brakes is like the difference between night and day on an e-bike this size.
Hey mate I got the same kit and when I tighten to wheel it becomes really really tight and I am wondering how to fix it
Is it rubbing on the frame somewhere?
What is the reng?
I just got this same ebike kit from NB power. Unfortunately, when I turn on the throttle it makes a long beeping sound. Any chance would you guys know what that means? The rear wheel doesnt spin. Feels like its locked
Disconnect phase wires and see if wheel spins
@porkercon thank you that worked. However, the wheel spins backwards? Lol, any idea how to fix that?
Quick question, based off quick digging I see you have the same controller that came stock with my kit. Have you figured out how to fix the overvoltage issue? Anytime my battery charges to more than 84v the system stops working

Awesome!
get a better controller.. 50amps max output you have,,, get a 120 amp controller.
It's rated for the motor. 120A = >8500 watts. That motor might handle it in very short bursts, but otherwise pointless for a pedal assist e-bike, if not stupid. His legs would never keep up. Nor would his tires. Mtb tires and rims aren't built for that kind of power and speed. I twisted the sidewalls out of my Maxxis with a 3kW hub motor in less than 100km. They're not DOT certified for motorcycle power/speed for a reason.
