Thanks for the positive comments everyone, I’m the one who built the bike. I highly recommend joining the High Voltage Discord server if you’re interested in LEVs, the knowledge base is incredible and help and advice are freely given. I couldn’t have built this cool little bike without them.
Sorry I am a member of the discord but I find it too confusing to be on. Quick question. I know where ya got the battery from and has it lived up to expectation?
@@sparkiekosten5902 Hey bro, it’s only been through 5 cycles at most but it’s been flawless so far. Delivers the amps that are asked of it, no problem.
Inspirational...love a clean build like this, the tyres look great, much better than big knobblys would. Very sleek, I'm impressed...top job Mr Monty👍🏻
Also, love the way those smaller tires handle the twists and turns. I did not realize almost everyone prior had commented on how "clean" it was, before my comment😅😁
Extremely clean build. I have had my eye on that exact same battery from UPP. I guess I will pull the trigger and buy one. So hard to find a reliable battery builder for 72v triangle batteries. Thank you for showcasing this superb custom ebike. Cheers.
I use the upp 72v 19.2ah triangle, got it from them on Amazon. Works good with my g62 hub. I’ve always used UPP triangles and never had an issue, I’m not exactly taking it easy on them either. I’ve had the case start to break where the Velcro straps through but that was my own fault. The Velcro that ships with them can be noisy. I’ve had chargers fail and they sent me a new one
@@EBikeBuilder_ Good to know. They are a good deal. The only other options in triangle that I can find are over twice the price, but come with Molicel and are capable of 300 amp all day, but I only need 60 amps max at 72v for my BBSHD with aftermarket controller. I am going to buy that exact same battery and push it at around 3500 watts and see what happens. Cheers.
Hi there.. making the last efforts to finish my build wich is pretty similar to Monti's Ride. My Mario Bike also will Sport the bbshd with 37.5 ah 52V , a Battery blender , Magura mt5 Brakes and a Sturmey Archer sx rk3 for Fatbikes wich i hope will hold up... Also i got an Eggrider to Deal with... I think in a week or two if everything works out i will cruise again 😃 I really wanna make a small Video to so i can share with you Guys! Awesome Ride there Monti crafted with Love i can see clearly👍💪🙋🏼♂️ Have s good one yall , Greetings from Switzerland ✌️🙋🏼♂️🥳
Greetings. The bike sounds great. We have a few Swiss guys on Discord. I used to visit in Kandersteg and Zurich at Christmas. You are welcome to post pics and video. I'm sure Monty will chat. Very interested in how the igh works!
@@HighVoltageKits sx rk3 sturmey archer, was a pain to get one, also lacing was very difficult, i pray to the almighty that it will work fine and hold up for years to come 😆Ill check that discord out today.. cheers Mate🙋🏼♂️
@@user-ms8xp4dx2k yeah mate.. My ride still in tha basement😢 Had a few set backs. But no matter what! All the Joy a ride can bring may be with you on your journeys😃 Greetings from Switzerland Bro 🙋🏼♂️🍀🥳
Such a clean build, but I guess it's a lot easier with that kind of seat to hide it under. Pretty hard to hide a controller and excess wiring on a normal bike frame and seat tho, I've been thinking about 3D printing something like a bentobox that triathletes use to clean up my build. Would be really cool to know if anyone had done something similar and maybe see pictures of how it ended up looking!
For sure. You could try one of those mini frame bags. You can pretty much 3d print anything though. Another option is to modify a plastic lock case like you get at outdoor stores.
Very clean build. Tastefully done. Thank you for your presentation. Is that battery really 95 amp-hr?? Wow!! I am visualizing Qty 5 x 19 amp-hr shark batteries. Doesn't look like that triangle is big enough for 95 amp-hrs...or perhaps I misunderstood. PS. Only thing somewhat insurmountable and I understand completely why a single gear ratio of .75 to 1 or so was chosen with field weakening such that the BBSHD can achieve very high RPM...I like everything about this build other than for anything over 15 mph or so, pedaling is pretty irrelevant. I suppose that is the point of a moto style e-bike such this...not really a pedaling style of ebike. It does beg the question however, if pedals are even really desirable like with a Sur-Ron as only and example...but perhaps a good decision for compliance with local laws...for riding on MUP's etc.
Battery is 19.5, the range is because of how and where it's ridden. Mostly it's used way below what it can do. On the beachfront at 20-30kph it does not use much power. With the ratio it's a smaller wheel on this albeit still a fat tire. Could have been closer to 1:1. Might be a bit aggressive on acceleration for the desired feel. The pedals are a valid point. With this he could set the bike to 750 watts and be totally legal on loads of infrastructure. We have to work with the laws as they exist. You could also have footpegs and forget about peddles. But as you say the legislation has to be considered.
Hi Monty: Thank you for your videos. That's a great build! In a lot of countries only 25 km/h are allowed. Would it work with the standard Bafang BBSHD? And: What's the gear ratio? 46 to 34 teeth?
Hi Monty I’m from Adelaide and have a standard bbshd. I want to upgrade the battery, possibly go to 72v and maybe an ASi 800 or 855 or similar. This is where the problem lie’s. Can not seem to find a supplier for these components and from what i can gather, if i could purchase a new controller they want over $1000 alone. Is this the case. Are you able to advise me in the right direction and tell me roughly what i should expect to be paying please
Hi mate, I used a controller kit from High Voltage. You can purchase them by getting in touch with them on the High Voltage Discord server. The kits are $650US.
Our upgrade kit works fine with the bbso2. You can't run it at the same power as the bbshd but you would still benefit from the improved throttle control and speed boost.
These moped / scooter / dirt bike / motorcycle builds are pretty and stuff, but draw unwanted attention. You don't want to be jumping on curbs or going down 1-way streets with something that looks like a "legit" motorized vehicle. 😝
Monty reckons about 70km averaging about 30km hr. Less if you full throttle power everywhere you go. So mixed riding about 50km and that is my experience with a similar sized battery.
Hi mate, finding a hub with all the right specs was a bit difficult but I found this NOS Novatec hub on eBay. 150 x 12 , 36h, 6 bolt disc and quiet pawls. Not sure of the model but it works great.I had the hub motor removed and this hub laced in.

@@HighVoltageKits Modifying a plastic lock case is a great idea. Sometimes good and simple solutions elude me. Will look into it, thanks!
looks gooooooooooood
Thank you good Sir
Nice clean ebike it only needs some good front suspension.
Thanks. I'll pass it on. Would be a decent upgrade. He built another for more offroad stuff.
Not normally a fan of Super 73 (hubs, meh) but this build is beautiful.
Cheers Michael, hope you are well.
All that vacant space needs more battery hehehe
There is ample room for more!
I can barely lift it onto my car rack as it is. But a bigger battery would be cool. 👍

Hi man, I don't exactly know. I'm not game to go over 65kmh. 🤣
Yeah! That's plenty.
@@HighVoltageKits Indeed! With the right gearing I’m guessing 75-80?
Hi Monty: Thank you for your videos. That's a great build! In a lot of countries only 25 km/h are allowed. Would it work with the standard Bafang BBSHD? And: What's the gear ratio? 46 to 34 teeth?
You can set restrictions on the standard BBSHD. Something like the Eggrider will let you do this. I think you are correct on the gear ratio.
What are those black woven wire sleeves called?
Its called braided wire sleeving.

@@monty7252 ok I’m assuming that doesn’t include a battery.
@@darrendesimoni6795 No battery.
I converted to SS with BBS02 with the chainring of 36T and 23T cog. Is there controller available for BBS02?
Our upgrade kit works fine with the bbso2. You can't run it at the same power as the bbshd but you would still benefit from the improved throttle control and speed boost.
What's the standard size of the super 73 bottom bracket? To match that BBSHD? Been wondering that myself. Thanks!
"It’s a 100mm bb. The 100mm BBSHD fits perfectly with no spacers or washers." direct from Monty!
The Z1 has a 100mm bb, the S2 & RX are 120mm.
These moped / scooter / dirt bike / motorcycle builds are pretty and stuff, but draw unwanted attention. You don't want to be jumping on curbs or going down 1-way streets with something that looks like a "legit" motorized vehicle. 😝
They have that shape and wheel size combination for sure.
How did you change the rear wheel? Where can i buy it?
You want to join our Discord and chat to Monty for specifics with this build.
How long can you expect the 72v battery to last on this bike?
Monty reckons about 70km averaging about 30km hr. Less if you full throttle power everywhere you go. So mixed riding about 50km and that is my experience with a similar sized battery.
@High Voltage could you recommend anywhere for battery's?
Where did he get the rear hub at for 4x20 wheel?
Good question I'll get him to list it on the build sheet
@@HighVoltageKits thank you!
Hi mate, finding a hub with all the right specs was a bit difficult but I found this NOS Novatec hub on eBay. 150 x 12 , 36h, 6 bolt disc and quiet pawls. Not sure of the model but it works great.I had the hub motor removed and this hub laced in.
Novatec hubs are getting hard to find for some reason.
@@HighVoltageKits My Onyx hub for the Eleek build shipped today. 👍
How many amps is the 72v battery
Its 19.5 amp hour
