      Thanks dad, I'm really happy with the way my first hub motor build turned out. I tried to get as much information as I could, so anyone who wants to do a DIY ebike build knows how to put one together. Thank you for watching and commenting, as you know how much it means and is truly appreciated 😎👍

    Hey mate, the police have started seizing self built ebikes in Manchester now, watched them take a deliveroos bike the other day because it was "modified" and had a throttle. Mines been off the road for a couple of months, not sure I want to risk it now.

    • @electrocycle1977

      I've never had any trouble, and I've driven past tones of old bill. I appreciate the fact that they could potentially take away your bike, especially if its modded up to the nines with wires handing out all over the place, drawing attention to it. I've even spoken to a riot van full up and asked for directions, and not one of them said anything about the bike I was on. I think they have to be seen doing something, and unfortunately, delivery riders are an easy target as they all hang around fast food places. It's rare to see someone getting pulled up unless you're riding like a nutter blasting through red lights and acting silly on the bike. When I see them, I just peddle and take it easy. Please don't be discouraged as there are 1000s of ebike riding around everywhere. Always appreciated the heads up. This also may be of interest to you, but they may be upping the legal limit to 500 watts, but we'll see how that pans out. Thanks for watching and commenting 😎👍

      Thanks for the heads up, mate. I will switch that around tomorrow. Loads of fun putting it together and was surprised at how fast it was. Will definitely sort out a couple of things on it as I dont really want to keep the controller in a bag, but it will do for now. Thanks for the watch and comment 😎👍.

    Great vid. I'm assuming it's a direct drive kit due to the thinness of the motor. I'm glad you wore the safety crocs. Safety first! If needed you could theoretically drill just another hole into the frame for a third screw if the battery plate seems to be a bit floppy in the future. I'm sure it's an aluminum frame which is easy to drill through.

    • @electrocycle1977
      @electrocycle1977  Месяц назад +1

      Thank you, you are absolutely right, of course. It's not a bad little motor to honest. The first test ride went well, but I will do a range test to see if there are any issues that may need to be looked at.
      I've been watching your videos, and your sense of humour still had me laughing away. Your Jansno X50 V2 ebike is really good. How are you finding it after a bit of ride time on it?

      @@electrocycle1977 I'm going to do a 2000km(I'm at 1873km) review. Just popped the CST Big Boat street tires on it and it's like night and day as far as smoothness, I've also seem to accelerate a little faster and picked up a km or two per hour with the less rolling resistance and holds more speed as the battery goes down. I may do a video tomorrow it's been really crappy weather lately here. What is mind boggling is that the Big Boats are the same price as the BFT knobbies. So why the f$ck would they put the knobbies on a street bike? With the street bike tires it feels like a $1500 bike, not a $1000 bike.

    • @electrocycle1977
      @electrocycle1977  Месяц назад +1

      @chrissinclair8705 Good luck on the 2000km. I'm sure you will make it. And you're right about the tires as it makes no sense at all. At least you've changed them and are now starting to reap the benefits of having decent street tries on the bike. Look forward to seeing the video and watching your accomplish your goal. Good luck from your fellow ebiker, and may you get some good weather on your ride😎👍

      @chrissinclair8705 150km oh boy, at least your daily transport is there whenever you need it, which is always a plus. You're a trooper on an ebike, lol. I tried to commute to work, but where I live near arterial roads, which are basically (A) roads, and they start at 50mph up to 70mph and being in a cycle lane when they zoom past is not a nice feeling. It's always a pleasure talking with Chris. Have a good day, sir 😎👍

    Nice and pretty quick build. How does the hub motor feel compared to the mid drives? Is it louder or quieter and does it have the power to get up hills? Can it be cycled with the motor off?

    • @electrocycle1977
      @electrocycle1977  Месяц назад +1

      Thank you. It's really good straight out of the box, and taking it for a quick ride, I found it to be quieter than the middrive. If I had to compare the mid drive to hub, I would say the mid drive has the pull away power over hub, but overall, I would say they are very similar at the top end from stock with no mods on a flat surface. Going up hills remains to be seen as I've not tried that yet, as for off-road. I have yet to try out the hub motor to see what it can do going up hills, but I'm sure I'll do a video on that. It can be cycled with the motor off, but I would only do that if I had no choice, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting, as it's very much appreciated 😎👍

    I bought a 60v off aliexpress and it's garbage, but i changed my controller and it's like the handbrake has been taken off, if you want a 45amp 2000 watt controller i have 1 cheap, that's the only difference on a 1500 or 2000 as they are the same hub

    • @electrocycle1977
      @electrocycle1977  18 дней назад

      @tzrrsdave I've seen the prices for a 60v and 72v battery on aliexpress and think you just can't trust what's inside them things (cell wise). Thanks for the info on the controller being the only difference on the 1500w and the 2000w hub motors. I gonna shunt mid the controller I have and see what happens. Thanks for watching and commenting as it's appreciated 😎👍

    I run the 1500 watt on a mullet setup and now run the mtx 2000 29 rear and seems slower on pick up, I've ordered a 60v battery to sort it out.

    • @electrocycle1977
      @electrocycle1977  Месяц назад

      That's exactly what I would have done. More voltage is always a good thing 😂
      I'm looking to upgrade my battery, too, hopefully soon, but as you know, they cost a pretty penny. I was looking at Cell supply for some 21700 Samsung 50S cells. I'm looking to make my own 72v battery. If possible, the quality of the cells makes such a difference in performance. Let me know how you get on with the 60v battery, please.

    @chrissinclair8705 12 дней назад +1

    How's it working out for you so far? 1500w is a decent amount of power. Is it smooth? Are you able to mount it ok with those aluminum drop outs? First quality video.

    • @electrocycle1977
      @electrocycle1977  12 дней назад +1

      @chrissinclair8705 The 1500w is great, and it's really smooth too. It fits well in the dropouts with a little persuasion if you catch my my drift. I've yet to still take it on a range test because i had to lend the battery to a friend of mine who was in desperate need of the battery. I'm in the process of making another 52v battery as we speak, so hopefully, it won't be too long. Thank you as always my fellow ebiker. Take care out there. All the best 😎👍

      @@electrocycle1977 Yeah I hear you brother. I kind of screwed up on the last video I did. Camera malfunction, but I have to blame myself for not checking it properly. My bad. But no that it's great and you were able to jam it into the dropouts. I know, sometimes it can be a real b^tch. I'm glad it worked out, when you get the time I'd love to see a video. I'm working on a another one but I'm going to see if whatever the hell I did can be salvaged. It was my fault. I should have checked it. Might have to redo the entire footage again. I would like to support your channel if possible, but I need to ask permission from you. I consider you an expert rider(whatever the hell that means. nowadays. Lol) but I definitely like you style and you're newbie friendly which is sort of my style as well to help people step by step so they can achieve whatever they are doing properly. But obviously I need to ask permission. I think a lot of the viewers would get great value in your videos. I think sort of a baseline knowledge base would be good for all our audiences.

Maybe some torque arms on both sides of the rear wheel may give you a little more confidence. Can't post them here, but steel vs aluminum...Yeah may always not work out.
