Whoa !!!!.....It's the Car Wizard 🧙♂️ making a magical appearance 👍 Really like your channel and your straightforward, no BS, no click bait, no flip flopping, approach to making videos....For some reason that, Rev Up Your Engines....guy. Turned his channel into BS, click bait, flip flopping. One month the new C8 Corvettes are endless money pits, don't buy one.. A few months later it's the greatest sports car ever built.
WWWWWWWHAT? Did I just hear you say “ The rear brakes are ‘Knackered’?? 😆😆😆😆 I think that’s the first time I’ve ever heard an American use that British term in such a matter of fact way. That’s funny.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh, and for the love of God, try and make some kind of chain guard for your right leg. I can see tears!
There are pretty awesome conversation kits for hardtail bikes available already. Tongsheng TSDZ 2 with 750 Watts for example. One can easily convert basically any old hardtail to an ebike with that. And it's even torque sensing. What I am trying to say: Jakes build is an interesting proof of concept but there are much better options available already.
The MY1020 kits are pretty uniquely cheap for the amount of power they can provide, as well as allowing for controller upgrades later and being able to be used in a pedal-less situation like this. This is definitely a horrible solution compared to the myriad of e-bike specific kits out there but it is almost half as cheap as many of them, as well as more powerful.
You’re missing the point. With various parts and common tools, Jake has proven that you can retrofit a standard bike into an electric bike for less money. And that in itself is a win.
I wanted an ebike but had to go with a 2 stroke motorized bicycle kit $120+$80 parts upgrades, engine port work & add-ons =$200 40mph top speed, 80mpgs, long engine life if properly ran & maintained. Can leave outside in hot/cold no $500 battery damage to worry about from heat/cold, crash....I just lack the low end hill climbing torque & have engine noise.
How long did the battery last on the Razor bike? Nevermind, I can tell from your video timeline it only lasted a few months. Which is another reason why I went with a motorized bicycle kit instead of ebike kit.
@@100PercentJake I was digging the off road Festiva.....I used to detest cars like Dodge Omni, Ford Festiva, Honda crx, years ago. But now for some reason I wouldn't mind having one to turn into a little pocket rocket.
Ah... not sure I get what you mean. I'm a motor mechanic by trade for 5 years now. Simple 3 phase motors have "slip" - that is rotor speed cannot match the spees of the rotating magnetic feild (as the field pushes the rotor) a 2 pole for example is rates 3600 rpm at 60 hz, 4 pole is 1800, 6 is 1200 etc... Is that what you mean?
Don’t know if you’ve ever been to the Harley Davidson museum in Milwaukee, but you have basically made a 21st century version of their first motorcycle (their version retained the ability to pedal, but close enough). Nice work!
That struck me as the most dangerous thing I've ever seen on youtube. Even the dude kissing the alligator. I thought when the first go round hucked the chain 50' you'd imagine how it might be if it flew of just right whilst between your legs doing 30 mph. Ouch. Children?
i would almost be looking at a better bike for the conversion, one with hydraulic disc brakes and non quil stem. my guess is those wheels are not true and wobble like a sob. i would also repack hubs or replace with sealed cartridge bearing. that old road master probably has square taper bottom bracket with cage bearings.
I built one of those 2 stroke kits I got cheap on a walgoose. those are not assembled well. I worked in bike shop for a bit and man I had to basically rebuild the whole thing. even still that turd went 35+ mph with wheels wobbling until i trued them. scarry af. wear a helmet. not worth your life.
Literally one of my fav channels. Only a handful of them I can tolerate. This one is fun. Down to earth garage goodness.
Love the bike. Its quick!

You know Jake is a true car guy…. Even his E-bike needs to shift gears!
Manual one 😅
I like that this video was preceded by a Peloton commercial.
And on the next episode we visit Jake in hospital after his leg gets caught in the motor of a home made electric bike!!! 😂😂😂
Sketchiest one yet. Excellent.
WWWWWWWHAT?

You are a multi talented youtuber for sure. Great job on the bike.
Rather watch one of Jake's frankenbuilds than Tavarish pretend to be surprised at finding water or sand in his $2 million McLaren P1 submarine.
... which Freddie will never finish.
@@grantaldous For some reason I get....Fast Freddie's Used Cars, Great Deals On Wheels, kinda vibes from that guy.

Before my life fell apart and I had to give up my project bicycles (most of em anyways) I was going to do an e-bike conversion. Looks fun as hell.
Looks fantasticly Heath Robinson! Well done, Jake
Great work on the bike. Looking forward toward your next vlog.
Holy cr@p that looks extreme sketchy (and fun) Nice!
Oh boy, the battery Louis Rossman had 😬
How long did the battery last on the Razor bike?

Still have it! Still chugging along, but two days ago we rebuilt the powertrain from this into something different.

Not bad!
Didnt know Buick built bicycle
All DC motors are speed limited by voltage while 3 phase AC motors have a set speed per frequency...
But frequency cant exceed the stator velocity, which is voltage limited as near as i can tell.

The chain and sprocket looks like a hospital visit waiting to happen.
You are a mad genius. I want you on my team after the breakdown of society
A chain cover?
Get a chain guard, that looks dangerous
100percentjake might become 95percentjake after he catches some meat-based parts in that mechanism
Your going to catch your nuts in that chain

Oh yeah, the bike is super cheap. I considered buying a walmart mongoose for this. This is more or less a proof of concept.

Chain guard or rip balls.
Would be curious to know what voltage that battery is at when you’re at 30 mph ;)
Oh Dude! A wheel kit with a 1k watt hub motor would have been much easier!🙄
Looks fun but, mad uncomfortable.
100% Jake has disappeared
Here's another one.
Dude this is awesome
Nice work jake
Mr. Wizard 😀
Was it really necessary to cut the pedals off? Wouldn't they stay because of the free spin?
rear hub free spins not the crank
@fredbryant8165 ok thanks makes sense
Jake is one of the few RUclipsrs that actually finishes a project 🎉
that is extremely impressive. And a bit on the danger side. well done!
You have a good start, you just need to do a little refining. 👍
