I love the fact that your truck is still working so well that you're just using it as a truck without mentioning it in the video.
Thank you for your cool calm videos, very easy to follow. Grew up working on cars, built a few, since I got injured I have revisited my electric dreams. Thank you sir.
"Anything you like".Thanks for the quick tutorial.I saw the clip with the 'external rear wheel mount/frame adapter kit'clip and need to watch it.Thank you for all your videos and hard works teaching us how to do all these things.
I have one of the yose kits a 350w version and it's good, I never install the throttle always use a Pas, you normally have to use the supplied rotor bolts as the ones on the existing bike are usually too long as I found out, they catch on something inside and make a noise.
I have done over 500 miles so far and I am very happy with it, main reason I chose this kit was the controller was inside the battery making it a neater install.
Wowee, you make it look so easy!
It seems like an excellent conversion kit. Thank you, we'll see if it will be easy to convert.
I bought a 350watt rear wheel ebike kit from Yose about 3 years ago surprisingly powerful motor overall good value for money .
How is it holding up, 3 years later?
And is still working after that time?
Thanks for this great video!
You sure made mounting the tires on the new rim look easy. As a first timer converting my 20in folding bike with a Swytch kit, I got stuck at the tire part. Got tire lever tools. But, damn tire just wouldn't get on the 20in wheel. After shredding up my fingers and cuticles for an hour, I finally took it to the local bike workshop. 😅
I hope you can do a comparison video between the Swytch bike kit and these conventional conversion kits. I have the new Swytch Bike kit on pre-order for my MTB. The lower price and higher power of these kits made me re-think my purchase. Plus, Swytch kit doesn't come with a throttle, only PAS.
That looked easy. I think you know what you are doing for sure! I am going to check out your books.
I enjoy learning from your projects. This one in particular seemed fun!!
Thank you very much, I always enjoy, appreciate your reviews! Looks pretty easy, cool 😎
I like YOSE Power kits, I have a front-wheel motor on my trike, and I especially like the easy to fit cables with the waterproof plugs & sockets
I found ebikeschool while looking for DIY lithium battery tutorials. Next thing I know I am building my first ebike. Motors have arrived, lithium cells have arrived, found a bike to convert, bought the spot welder, and have a fun month or two ahead of me while I put it all together - which would have never happened without all of the awesome ebikeschool videos. Keep up the good work!
What are you spot welding?
@@Gonefishing185 The nickel strips to the lithium battery terminals.
Congrats! Good luck building your ebike man. Don't forget to wear an nta helmet like xnito or bern hudson while riding, cpsc helmets don't really protect you
How did it go?
I am currently converting my terratrikes and have been binge watching your channel. Keep it up!
Converting is the way to go with recumbents, their prices for buying the electric versions should be illegal :)
Just bought a freewheel version of this kit and installed it on my friends ancient Fuji hard tail bike. It works really well and is a far better value than my previous kits.
I'm going to get the cassette version for a front wheel drive recumbent cargo bike that I'm now building.
Thank you very much for your support of YOSEPOWER.
Well you certainly made that look easy. Definitely a nice add-on for any bike.
Great video! Thanks for sharing so good information about E-bikes.
Your videos are so great ! So inspired !
Brake levers and shifters can be loosened (via single hex bolt on the bottom of either), and slid on the handlebars to make room for the grips to slide completely on. Also, while loosened, shifters and brake levers can be tipped up or down to whatever position is most comfortable for you.
Love that you tell it like it is. Keep them coming...
That was very informative and would love to have one of your books! Thanks great video: )
Great job Micah. Made that look easy.
Amazing transformation.
I found you by chance and I really find your channel very interesting. These are really useful videos.
Congratulations 🤓
Man you make that look so easy, now I feel comfortable getting this bad boy and trying it out!! Love your hat btw.
Got this kit and did the conversion, This kit is awesome.
Great video, I've always built my own Ebike's currently using a golden motors mp5 hub motor works ok for me, got more options with this kit than you'd get from a manufactured Ebike that'll cost you thousands to buy from a shop.
more of these videos please! But try to zoom in your shot on the technical fittings n stuff. Would love to see more mid drive builds from amazon as well. Also would like to hear more on Why you chose that bike :)
Cool video! Love the mini truck man
I've fitted four yose power kits to various style bikes, there great. I've done just over 12000 miles commuting on mine which is fitted to a boardman roadbike👍
How fast does it go? And what kind of range?
Will they fit on a bike with skinny tires? I have a trek multi trak with fairly narrow tires. It's a bummer because it would make the ideal electric bike since it's light and quick on the road. Do they sell these kits with different size rims?
@@paperman9708 I was actually thinking of doing the same thing; but ended up using my Moutain bike instead.
I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that a bike shop might be able to let you know. I'm pretty sure it would be possible tho.
The bike shop would just need to change the rims and spokes out. But I would just ask a bike shop first. I'm not an exper...
Excellent tutorial 👍 thank you !
You have some very interesting looking books. The solar power especially. Here in Florida, USA we have to be ready for hurricanes 4 months out of the year
Nice little kit!
Thanks for yet another great video! 👍
Great video! You made it look real easy. I bought a similar kit from Yose Power though mine is only 350w because I'm in the UK and they are wimps when it comes to bike power. I used a smaller bag for the controls and cables and did the opposite to you and left out the throttle so mine is pedal assist only. I've been using it for nearly 2 years now and it is great. I can cruise at 18mph with very little effort.
Anything over 250w output is illegal so I don't get why you went for 350w? May as well have gone 1000w if it's not going to be road legal anyway and have some fun.
@@RandomShart OI! YOU GOT A LOISCENSE FOR THAT MOTER!?!?
@@RandomShart don't be so power grabby. Lower power means less battery consumption, more efficient, depending on the power required and duty cycle. I can see how quickly one can ramp up speed with 1kw and crash, UK roads are dangerous..
Not always depending on terrain. If it's under powered it becomes more in efficient as it gets hotter. Plus most bike displays you can adjust speed which limits the power to the motor. So you can go up if you want with a more powerful motor.
Nice video. Much appreciated. You made it seem easier for me. I might get one.
Great video. I think I will add this kit to my wife’s bike. Great video as always.
Nice kit. Interesting that the battery and controller are combined.
Love that little truck. Hope you're doing well.
Great video I'll be ordering this kit!
Good job. Everytime when we see these type of kit we have doubt whether they work or not as expected and Now you showed us. Thanks!
I learned to build my first liion battery from your video so thanks for that. It was for a homemade electric ridable cooler
That surprisingly easy. Good work
great vid! love watching! so what if the controller has different leads than the old controller(upgrading) is there a video for that? thanks!
Your videos inspired me to start converting my mountain bike to an electric!
Micah, could you do a mid-motor conversion at some point in the future? That would be the more likely route I would take.
Another great video!
Looks great and I have recommended this kit to a few people as a starter kit
Thank you very much for your support of YOSEPOWER.
Thanks. I was hesitating to buy because I was unsure if I can install it, but it seems to be easy enough.
Looking forward to building my first ebike using a vruzend battery kit, and a Tongsheng TSDZ2 mid-drive kit! Haven't found the perfect hybrid 7 speed yet...
So I just found you! and I have been upgrading and repairing E bikes for 1 month now, Most bike shops do not want to fix a broken E bike (Motor/electrical) any way I'm looking to retire soon and thought this would be a great part time gig or even full time for anyone who needs help. great Vids and I will be watching looking for more info!
As someone who already made a DIY E-bike, I really appreciate this video. I like that extra part you added for the downtube mount, I had to drill and grind new holes into the bike.
You can just remove the bottom part of the battery holder and drill through it. Should be 4 screws.
@@The_Upgrader That's what I did too. You can make them fit with a bit of imagination.
Looks like a good kit.
Another great video.
Enjoyed your blog
Great video. You know what you're doing. Although I would have put the power cut off brakes on there and would have installed PAS as well. Inline brake cuts would have worked. Wouldn't put that bag on there just because I would want to be able to remove the battery with the key.
So …….. make a video then brainiac 😵💫
Good job on the ebike
Yose Power looks like a good deal love the channel.
Nice quick review Micah! Thank you. How are you doing with your little electric truck?
I Love your videos and how you use your mini e-truck to haul your bikes for other videos. That first e-truck video brought me here. I want to check out your solar power book... or... maybe I could "win" it. Wink, wink. Lol
Looks like a lot of fun
Cool bike kit
I cant find any kits under 500 that include a battery like this anymore, does anyone have a recommendation for a suitable alternative? Thanks!
Hi LOve your electric stuff, I had to laugh I was thinking about you dropping things as you said it LOL. I am always dropping bits an spend most of my time looking for things I have dopped
. I struggle with mobility so I now have a magnetic picker upper
Great work with plenty of information.8-)
Nice job mate
Holy cow that’s is so awesome!!!
A nice guide
Amazing video I will need to get one myself
Great vid!
Nice video Mike.
super insightful!
Great video.
I am still rocking my YOSE 250w front @ 48v 10,000 miles and counting - mine is all custom KT. I believe they ship with Lushi controllers and LCD now.
Thank you very much for your support of YOSEPOWER.
Good video! That was a good idea and investment to get a second ebike that I don’t have to retrofit security and gives my himiway a break.
the video was helpfull thankyou I had completed two ebike kits . the troble with the first one was vibrashion and still can't fix any help would be great thank you and your videos
Great video
Thanks for the long description with links!
Great explanation. Is there any way to strip down the wire lengths?
Nice one!
I love the "YosePower" kits i run tree of them. one on a bike, one on my vintage Dutch "Alligt" two wheel recumbent. and one on my selfmade reverse recumbent trike (looks like an ICE trike) but the made myself with donor bikeparts.
Thanks for this comment. Because of it, I now trust buying this kit for my wife’s bike. For the price, you can’t go wrong. Thanks.
My wife and I have a Schwinn tandem, but because of years gone by we can't self power it like we use to. I wonder if this unit would bring back the joy we once had riding our bike together? Thanks Dale Sr
A 'Front Wheel' conversion kit will probably suit it better.I though the same,but I don't think the wires will do a 'rear wheel' kit.They both come with the same accessories.(Most I've seen don't come with a battery,but his kit at $500 covers the battery too and they're $200 and up).
I can't speak to what kit you should get, but definitely get one. It will put the fun back in riding for those not strong enough anymore.
Looks like that mini truck is actually serving you well!
Thank you! Nice video! 👍😉
Nice choice
Awesome info thank you
Nice kit
Can you (or someone!) post a link to the bottle mount adapter?
Great video!
Hi great video I was wondering if you could a review on Urbanbiker Dakota model
Great video, what’s your take on mid drives?
Nice editing work during the ride montage.
I have a newer Miami Sun trike I would like to get a similar kit for. What FWD kit would you suggest? What Torque arm kit? Thanks! Love the channel!
Hi Micah, I'm wondering i have a 80a controller but my bms of my battery is only 60. Is that alright?
lol good to see the lil truck still going strong
Great fun!
Thanks for sharing.
Question: how hot is it normal for an ebike controller to get? I have the same design where the controller is integrated into the battery cradle.
When I run my ebike to produce anywhere between 500 and 900 watts for more than a few minutes, it gets not so hot that if you touch it you instantly recoil, but hot enough that to leave your hand on it for more than 5 seconds will hurt. Is that normal or am I going to destroy my controller?
Looks good
Great video, glad you came across my feed. New subscriber!
This video is what I've been looking for. Imagine, driving your own ebike you just worked on.
Is this kit able to have the wires modified to cut down on the extra or is it not something you could do easily?
