Still a 3k setup. Better than 5k, but you clearly don't have the braking ability of a real 50 mph ebike. Super cool upgrade, but not too safe either for daily commuting.
@@trasher2431if you don’t mind, why? I just looked, the bike is actually 2k. Not 1k. Definitely a false advertisement, and for an extra 1k more you can get the booflaria triple X, which is still a much better bike than this for only 1k more.
I ride an electric unicycle. I was going 35mph when one of those $350 costco ebikes zoomed past me. It has some wires and cables dangling off and what looked like a big battery pack. Now that's a sleeper bike for real 😂
Cops used to stop me all the time in Tennessee when I looked like that and it was even worse when I moved to Indianapolis. Until I got a cable bag everybody was paying attention to me because they said I looked like I had stolen the bike.
Would you be willing to do a video explaining how everything went together for those of us who don’t have a lot of experience modding e-bikes? I like this option a lot.
There's plenty of guides online. "mid drive motor conversion" or "hub motor conversion". As a 16yr old, I put mine together over the course of 3 days just looking at guides and doing it myself. Mine tops out at 31mph, is fully sidewalk legal because it's only 750w, and did it for just $800. The build that this guy did actually costs like $3200. Get yourself a well suspended fat tire bike and find a fat bike conversion, you can really set one up for less than $1500 brand new and capable of 35mph+ if you do it right. On top of that, if you learn enough, you can set up your own shop and mark up prices for a profit since your bikes would still be cheaper than whats on the market for the same specs
Couldn't have posted this video at a better time. Been looking to upgrade my Amazon bike. It's right at that lovely 28 mph and have found myself in numerous situations where a bit more power would have easily kept me well away from potential incidents. Already have the list of parts thanks very much surronster and la erides for the build
@@hologram3045 you even know what you’re talking about? Bc I don’t. Genuinely curious what you mean by “last long.” Are you talking range? Or are you talking the actual lifespan of the battery being usable? Cheers.
@@standeman32he means the lifespan of the battery. It probably uses low quality cells because it’s so cheap. A good quality battery should have name brand cells like Samsung and perferably should have a ul Certification which means it won’t spontaneously combust and burn ur house down lol.
@@standeman32 those batteries are the ones you see on the news randomly exploding and burning houses down, high quality batteries are 100% safe but those random drop shipped ones on amazon are insanely sketchy and have a random chance of lighting on fire.

$2,200 for this e-bike! That is insane. There are many builds out here on RUclips that are far cheaper. Just watched one that went this fast for $500. A TRUE DIY Build. Come on.... Sur Ronster.... make a true budget build for people on a budget! :)

As you get faster you'll have to be more alert and know your Stopping Distance. You'll also have to pay more attention to what the traffic is doing and chat with your pals when you stop. Wearing Motocross Body armour under your shirt might help keep your skin on if you crash. Looks great fun! Ride safe!
Seeing as the frame is the only part that matters, you can cut corners by purchasing a 750w moped style ebike for far cheaper, before taking it to the shop. You'll have to check if the battery needs supports, but basically any bike that can have that 20" motor and 72V battery will qualify for a stealth bomber using those parts with enough ingenuity. Using DIY, I'd say the floor is at least $2K for this build type. I wouldn't skip on the suspension though, if you ate it on a pothole without one it would be nasty so $3K seems reasonable compared to other bikes in its class.

You are right about competing with traffic. Keeping up is safer. But you all need licences and insurance so that everybody else will be safe also. Fast E-bikes should be regulated exactly in the same manner as motorcycles, despite their shortcomings out of town.
Yea, ive been browsing these vids for 3 hours now and I just kind of want to drop cash and walk away. everyone though talks about modding modding working and interchanging, which on my only afternoon off on Sunday, not looking forward to do. trying to my personal car fixed as it is.
I am hooked- so much amazing things on this channel. I was blown away by the comparison video of ebike ss pro to the already impressive surron... now I really want more budget videos because as interested as i am it's still expensive to my budget. I got to say this is truly astounding to see the budget model performing so well! I would like to understand the whole system better.
Hey Surronster, I've been watching your videos for about two years now, and this is the one I've watched the most! I was wondering if you could make more videos about converting a mountain bike into an electric one, like a 5kW setup or something similar. Love your content, bro!
Dude, im having a horrible night and got covid yesterday. Watching your amazing videos make my day so much better man. Keep going im waiting for 2M Subs!
Not exactly budget. The bike costs $2000 itself + the $1000 dollars worth of upgrades. I've been in the DIY ebike world for about a year now, there is some controversy with UPP batteries and this definitely could be done for cheaper. I built a 72v 45a (3700w full charge theoretically if it had full efficiency) electric bmx bike for $1300 for everything and it probably could keep up with this. If anyone is reading this I think the better move for 3k is to buy a Talaria XXX and just not comply. Pedals or not, if they see you mobbing at highspeed they would probably still impound this.
All of the e-Bikes on the yadea website are close to or over $2,000. So by the time you add this upgrade, you are around $3,000. No Thanks. Just get a mini bike or motorcycle. The research I did shows all of these e-bike companies are all getting their bikes from the same few manufacturers, and just seriously inflating the prices. They are ALL the same bikes with a few minor differences. If you want to stay electric, and still go fast, take a cheap walmart bike and add this to it. Make sure to change out the tires to be able to handle the speeds.
something ive started riding around my city ( on/near bike paths) is an upgraded rsf650 razor but the one time i got pulled over i just showed them it on amazon told them i upgraded the battery so i could put lights on it, get to work, and gave it a new paint job
Isn't the term "build" usually used and associated with upgrading. That's why there's a saying "built not bought" or something like that... At least from what I've heard in the car community. Basically saying you upgraded (built/build) your car instead of buying a car from factory that's already fast.
544 and 538 is over 1000 , plus the cost of shipping. Not a 1000 dollar build, this is over a thousand dollars. The way you were speaking, you make it sounds as if this was an under 1000 dollar build. Love your content , but that is a little misleading. Especially if you are doing research and haven't bought a bike yet.
Love the sleeper / lower end builds. I can't afford a damn thing due to my disability but these sorts of things might actually give me something in my range that I could eventually afford after a year or two. Please make more.

I love the videos of the new bikes but I found your channel off of and find myself rewatching your build videos like the razor videos and this one I done watched like 15 times itd be dope if you did more amazon bike budget builds, see how far you can push the price down while keeping the speed up, love ALL the content keep going I love your videos
I've been enthused by Electric Bikes like this as Affordability and Traversal should be pushed to the limits rather than limiting what is provided. I'd believe that in some cases you can ride a bicycle with electric Assisted mobility without a license and admittedly the only law that should be applied for these type of bikes that could go 50 MPH is you cannot ride on 2 or 4 lane Highways or Freeways. I also believe that these type of E-bikes could offer a different opportunity for people who cannot spend or cannot spend over $10,000 on a Motorcycle or something that you need a license for and I'm 100% All for it. The only thing I could say that the E-Bikes suffer on is "Ride-Length & Charging."
Some people don’t realize, sure it’s 2,000$ at first. Cool, you have an e-bike you didn’t have before. There are also 1,000 dollar e-bikes with similar frames. Well then you save for a while, and still have a bike. Then later you upgrade.
This isn’t a $1000 build. You didn’t include the price of the bike itself. The total price of the bike he bought + the upgrades is probably around $2500-3000.
Nice buld main.. I just started watching your channel. Thank you for the content. my regular hard tail mtb with a cyc x1 pro gen 3 looks more sleeper. Most people can't even tell its an ebike. 3000w 3800w peak. It's my first ebike. And I love it. I've crashed a few times. One was into the side of a van at 25mph by the time I slowed down. The guy blocked the bike path and just looked at me the hole time. With no one in the front of him. I put a huge body sided dent in his side doors. And broke 2 Windows. It was totally his fault.
I own ebikes and hyper scooters however watching vids like this make me understand why problems are arising ....lack of respect and crazy riding between vehicles .....have patients. I ride fast everywhere,pushing 73mph on my modded storm...including a radar detector and police scanner just incase ..but i always respect the road and others .
I would love to see a build like this that could tickle 65. Where I live, there are no bike lanes, and going under 62 in a 50 zone is considered "holding up traffic". Imo there's no reason for an ebike to be motorcycle money, so I like the budget build idea. So yeah, if this build tickled at 65, I'd be buying rn probably
More budget videos please for us who can’t drop $5K on an ebike. I’ll be ordering this exact setup. Thanks

would love to see an even more "sleeper" build on something foldable like a letcric xp 3.0 !
As he stated the bike needs to be built properly and have good construction and be robust enough to take the power
the fact that he switched the sport mode with the eco mode is such a genius move
This is the good part of the internet that one can order a bike. This is so badass !
Yea, ive been browsing these vids for 3 hours now and I just kind of want to drop cash and walk away. everyone though talks about modding modding working and interchanging, which on my only afternoon off on Sunday, not looking forward to do. trying to my personal car fixed as it is.
$2,299.99 is not budget! 😡😡😡
Yes it is.
It definitely is if you're doing deliveries.
2200 you can't even get a cheap 50cc scooter that won't break in 50 miles
I guess you can't read the title. of this video.
Maybe not your budget 😂
I am hooked- so much amazing things on this channel. I was blown away by the comparison video of ebike ss pro to the already impressive surron... now I really want more budget videos because as interested as i am it's still expensive to my budget. I got to say this is truly astounding to see the budget model performing so well!
I would like to understand the whole system better.
Lacing the rim is the hardest part. but you can find kits with the rim included.
Hey Surronster, I've been watching your videos for about two years now, and this is the one I've watched the most! I was wondering if you could make more videos about converting a mountain bike into an electric one, like a 5kW setup or something similar. Love your content, bro!
Bro this bike isn't 1k but it is 2k
Plus the kit making it as much as a talaria
Dude, im having a horrible night and got covid yesterday. Watching your amazing videos make my day so much better man. Keep going im waiting for 2M Subs!
Not exactly budget. The bike costs $2000 itself + the $1000 dollars worth of upgrades. I've been in the DIY ebike world for about a year now, there is some controversy with UPP batteries and this definitely could be done for cheaper. I built a 72v 45a (3700w full charge theoretically if it had full efficiency) electric bmx bike for $1300 for everything and it probably could keep up with this. If anyone is reading this I think the better move for 3k is to buy a Talaria XXX and just not comply. Pedals or not, if they see you mobbing at highspeed they would probably still impound this.
^^^^^
Don't forget he relaced the rims.. And did other work to the bike for free😂😂😂 .. He never gave you the amazon link because it's all lies😂😂
I like how sometimes the GoPro makes it look like you got baby hands like at 4:46
Keep making videos about stuff people can afford!
bro i would do anything you need me to and i would help/learn with you, Surronster. you’re changing the EV scene man. God bless.
All of the e-Bikes on the yadea website are close to or over $2,000. So by the time you add this upgrade, you are around $3,000. No Thanks. Just get a mini bike or motorcycle. The research I did shows all of these e-bike companies are all getting their bikes from the same few manufacturers, and just seriously inflating the prices. They are ALL the same bikes with a few minor differences. If you want to stay electric, and still go fast, take a cheap walmart bike and add this to it. Make sure to change out the tires to be able to handle the speeds.
something ive started riding around my city ( on/near bike paths) is an upgraded rsf650 razor but the one time i got pulled over i just showed them it on amazon told them i upgraded the battery so i could put lights on it, get to work, and gave it a new paint job
I wonder how this kit would rock on the Razor Rambler 20.
Saying he feels law abiding while ignoring every traffic law is wild work
7:59 That fistbump💀💀
^^^^^
$2000 ebike with a $1000+ upgrade kit added, bit of a misleading title for a $3000 "sleeper" bike.
You’re living my dream I have the same two addictions just couldn’t get traction to survive you’re blessed never forget it
Amazon sells it for $2,199
He worded the title funny, so it was confusing for many people.
@@dariuslavy3913no he lied
@dariuslavy3913 Everything about this video as a lie dude.. Don't be stupid
Isn't the term "build" usually used and associated with upgrading. That's why there's a saying "built not bought" or something like that...
At least from what I've heard in the car community.
Basically saying you upgraded (built/build) your car instead of buying a car from factory that's already fast.
0:14 I loved it when Mr. Sur Ronster said I need a P-51 in my garage and a few months later he has its
544 and 538 is over 1000 , plus the cost of shipping. Not a 1000 dollar build, this is over a thousand dollars. The way you were speaking, you make it sounds as if this was an under 1000 dollar build. Love your content , but that is a little misleading. Especially if you are doing research and haven't bought a bike yet.
That style RLine in the background still looks great. Mine is white. Love it.
Went straight to the site because I'm looking for a $1000 Ebike like this, and it's over $2000 😞
In my country that exact ebike cost $900
@@mr_cheeselol31what xountry
Keep it up with these budget build videos bro, you got a new member to your community
Did you keep track of range? Just curious!
This guy has the best videos.
$1000 build? The bike is $2200 off of amazon. If you added 1k in mods then its a $3000 build. Don't lie to the fans bro.
i think he means the upgrade is 1K
Are you mental? He said build. He didnt build the bike, he built the upgrade, dumsht. He's refering to the upgrade.
There's always Alibaba
I literally custom build one and it cost more
There’s a new upgraded version of this bike that you can buy, and just do the same thing. It’s only 900 bucks.
Recently saw a video some guys here in Florida made of the 3000 Watt custom DIY build doing 103 mph
its not a $1000 setup when the bike alone is 2k
No fucking way what a scam
Love the sleeper / lower end builds. I can't afford a damn thing due to my disability but these sorts of things might actually give me something in my range that I could eventually afford after a year or two. Please make more.
That bike is 2000$ tho not 1000$
That's super cheap 🙄
i got a standard mountain bike doing 63mph lol 72v UPP battery and a 1500w hub motor with an 80 amp controller cost me like 900 GBP
Bike is now $2k. No longer worth it.
I would love to see a budget build on a higher class ebike, like the Revv 1. Maybe make it 72v and see what you can make with it and how you like it
You are so lucky to get all these free bikes I am only 14 but I am saving up for a crappy 500$ e Bike one day
Not really a $1,000 build when the base bike costs $2,300 plus tax.
That part
I think if u get the cheapest ebike and then spend $1000 on amazon this maybe worth it than a motorcycle

The build is $1000 he never said the whole bike and build was $1000
I can't believe it, I just bought a used Super73 Aventura, and now I feel like I've been ripped off!
It’s 2k for the bike it’s self it’s not under 1k
It's a "build" aka upgrading, the term is associated with upgrading... That's why there's a saying "built not bought, at least in the car community. Basically saying you upgraded (built/build) your car instead of buying a car from factory that's already fast. Which in this case fits perfectly with that definition.
$2,200 is a decent price for the specs. Not sure why everyone is freaking out over the price, considering the value the bike brings.
welp, not 1,000, but $2,000
Surronster i can never be mad at you your so chill and nice bro
This bike is 2k
My dad taking me a loan out to do this build W
the bike is $2300+ and the parts he used were $1200, not $1k. thats over $3500 for this chinese junker.
I might have to try and build me one of these
I love the videos of the new bikes but I found your channel off of and find myself rewatching your build videos like the razor videos and this one I done watched like 15 times itd be dope if you did more amazon bike budget builds, see how far you can push the price down while keeping the speed up, love ALL the content keep going I love your videos
Thanks for answering the mid mount vs hub motor argument
I've been enthused by Electric Bikes like this as Affordability and Traversal should be pushed to the limits rather than limiting what is provided. I'd believe that in some cases you can ride a bicycle with electric Assisted mobility without a license and admittedly the only law that should be applied for these type of bikes that could go 50 MPH is you cannot ride on 2 or 4 lane Highways or Freeways. I also believe that these type of E-bikes could offer a different opportunity for people who cannot spend or cannot spend over $10,000 on a Motorcycle or something that you need a license for and I'm 100% All for it. The only thing I could say that the E-Bikes suffer on is "Ride-Length & Charging."
Some people don’t realize, sure it’s 2,000$ at first. Cool, you have an e-bike you didn’t have before. There are also 1,000 dollar e-bikes with similar frames. Well then you save for a while, and still have a bike. Then later you upgrade.
Stealth bomber k5 a sick monster bike fully customable you will love it 120 KM AN HOUR
This isn’t a $1000 build. You didn’t include the price of the bike itself. The total price of the bike he bought + the upgrades is probably around $2500-3000.
by far best ebike youtuber ive ever seen
can you please make a review video about one of the razor ramblers? That would be so sick!!!
Nice buld main.. I just started watching your channel. Thank you for the content. my regular hard tail mtb with a cyc x1 pro gen 3 looks more sleeper. Most people can't even tell its an ebike. 3000w 3800w peak. It's my first ebike. And I love it. I've crashed a few times. One was into the side of a van at 25mph by the time I slowed down. The guy blocked the bike path and just looked at me the hole time. With no one in the front of him. I put a huge body sided dent in his side doors. And broke 2 Windows. It was totally his fault.
To match that speed increase I'd want chunkier brakes to match
I’m gonna get one to get to school and this one seems perfect
Honestly I was gonna hate, but that looks fun as hell!
I think in your next video you should build a motorized bike they are budget friendly and it would be a great video
I own ebikes and hyper scooters however watching vids like this make me understand why problems are arising ....lack of respect and crazy riding between vehicles .....have patients. I ride fast everywhere,pushing 73mph on my modded storm...including a radar detector and police scanner just incase ..but i always respect the road and others .
7:14 bro your lucky you are living your life one a surron and Im here and dreaming to ride on. Love your content❤
You should do a budget sleeper folding ebike build.
I would love to see a build like this that could tickle 65. Where I live, there are no bike lanes, and going under 62 in a 50 zone is considered "holding up traffic". Imo there's no reason for an ebike to be motorcycle money, so I like the budget build idea. So yeah, if this build tickled at 65, I'd be buying rn probably
Got one the same apart from 5000w back wheel. Mine is sleeper bike all day long massive rear panniers hide most of the huge hub motor!
the Basket makes it tactical xD
Yo do more of these budget stuff. You got me interested into all these electric bicycles, thinking of ditching cars for bicycles like these.
