5,000w DIY eBike! Mid Drive CYC X1 Pro Gen 2 

"the overheating is part of any motor"... Er, no, it means it's not getting cooled enough for the power getting pumped in there.

I like your build but next time try with 29er wheel as it will be a Meg of the bike. Love your builds

I build trek marlin 5 with bafang 1000 midrange, battery 52v 20 amp hour. I would like to fit a better speed controller! Any ideas?

Nice build!

Yes I like too see the 750w built.

Its so funny how advertisers talk its almost we live in a perfect world full of wonders using key words like top quality fast speed easy access etc etc i could go all day about it. (1 POUND FISH)

Did you ever post the e-bike build you showed at the beginning of your video, and asked viewers to comment if they wanted to see it?

my hub motor doesn't make any sound. If I wasn't going 30 mph up hill it can be mistaken for a regular bike.

That kit should really make a road bike absolutely rip!

2:40 I need one of those mounts to mount my rectangular battery

Do you think that the surron has the speed limiter on still.

6:22 That Ruroc helmet sick asf

I’d like to see your first build too

@TechWeWant: which type of rear cassette do you use?? I keep breaking cassette pinion teeth every 70 miles or so with a simple Bafang BBSHD stock (1500w), even going easy on the throttle...So I can't imagine with a 5000w mid drive😮

4kWt on bicycle chain and chainwheels?

50mph on a hardtail?! Couldn't do it around here roads are like the surface of the moon in some spots.

Do you think that a multi-speed drivetrain can last at short periods of 5000w full blast without major consequences and hurting the drivetrain's lifespan?

This is a good comparison. Thank you! This seems a lot better than the sur Ron. The sur Ron seems like a money pit.

I have a very similar bike. I might have to do the same after watching this lol

i dotn think cyc middrive have trotle no pedal mode? i thohth mid drives dont have cruis mode

the question is, can this mount and work for the TANDEM bike? the tandem have a LEFT side crank ring, unlike conventional bike that's on the right side.

Do you need torque arms on rear if it’s a mid drive?

6:00 for overheating, use Grintech's Statorade ferroliquid, its a game changer.

I have a 2008 Santa Cruz super 8 with a og cyc 3000 watt mid drive motor and 60 v battery. I’m constantly getting flats at the valve stem from the high torque.. I can’t find rim locks like they have on dirt bikes.. what do you guys suggest I do to eliminate this issue?

What size chain ring was used on this? I can’t seem to find the follow up build details video.

PARADOX KINETICS kit how would you compare that to this

50 mph on stock 14 gauge 28 spoke aluminum wheels & 6061 aluminum hard tail frame with a bunch of extra weight added to the bike. What could possibly go wrong? I like e-bikes & this build for the most part but they're much too expensive for what you actually get. I'm gonna have to wait for solid state batteries. How long are those wheels & frame gonna last with extra e-bike weight & a 200 lb rider? My $350 2 stroke bike build hits 45 mph now gets 90 mpg's & could hit 50 with another $50 more in engine upgrade parts. The frame is a cheap 6061 aluminum 29in mongoose but is actually very similar in quality to the more expensive 6061 hard tail frames. The forks are sadly generic, I added $12 worth of oval spoke nipple washers to the 48 spoke double wall rear wheel for some more strength.The bike has a common generic 3 gear crank, derailleur, twist shifters,etc.. but they work fine & I rarely need to use them since it's motorized. I have some 203m floating brake discs on the way pushing the build to around $380. For a fraction of the cost, I have a fast 45 mph 2 stroke motorized bike, stronger 48 spoke 14G double wall wheels, steel hubs with thicker bolt on axles, not the skinny quick release skewers never meant for 50 mph speeds & heavier weight capacity. My hub are steel & add a tiny bit more weight but are stronger than aluminum hubs. Once you add the weight of engine or e-bike parts, you're better off with stronger steel- slightly heavier hubs than weaker, lighter aluminum ones. The downside to my build is, I don't have all the gears & high torque for steep hill climbing (but won't have constant chain breaking issues either) for less than 1/4 the cost of this e-bike build, I'm happy with what I have & will get the same if not more miles before new engine parts are needed.

WOOOOAHHH AWSOME 😎.👍 THANK'S COOOOL VID 😉💙!

Did the price come down this year 2022

That drive train will get decimated, hub drive makes much more sense at these powers or a propper spec drive train.

You guy should try using Samsung 35E, 52V 23.8Ah 1200Wh Or Panasonic GA 52V 23.8Ah 1200Wh batterys.

What battery did you use and wear did you purchase from

the bafang is cheaper.. but this looks way better!

Sounds like my gng mid drive ebike like an angry electric chainsaw 😏

Anyone know the song playing in the background?

I like it very much.

The Battery Mount looks sick , can you get something like that shipped to Europe?

I would like to see the DIY ebike build using the Trek Marlin.

10 miles on 12ah is normal with no peddling, 21ah is optimal

Why not add a rear rack and put a couple 30 amp batteries on a heavy duty bike? Battery blender should do the trick. 🤔 Doesn't need to be a light Trek mountain bike.

If Deff be putting a bigger battery on it, but I need tbis kit

In some places, you built a motorcycle with pedals, most e-bikes are limited to 20mph (32kmph) on road

For anyone... Chain ring size, please, I'm planning to do diy ebike conversion, I picked up Trek Marlin 6 yesterday, I ordered cyc x1 pro G3 (38 chain ring) from Golden motor 72v display break sensor for $1,215 Free shipping to USA, I'm not sure if this 38 chain ring will fit or not, any help please.

Sweet

Something like this but for enduro ebike clone. May b thicker sprockets and chains for dirt bike style riding.

"We got tons of shit for free. We built this bike but don't show you how! Subscribe for no reason at all!"

Now we know where lemmings originated from...party on dudes!

we picked a Trek Roscoe 7, we choose this bike because it's a hardtail....... sounds like only hardtail bike can mount this motor...

When using tires, tubes, chains, pullies, bearings, grease and brakes made for 12 lbs bicycles traveling at 20 mph, how long does it take for the rider to kill a pedestrian or two and him/herself?

For how much can you make me one?

I have done exactly what is in this video, and not a thing changed in my amps or speed. ? It doesn't work

Why do than spend that will you can buy a expensive one for 13,000 or buy one for 5,000 in get the same power basically there's one right now for 4,700 something dollars

Hello, what chainring option did you purchase it with?

build video asap

Attach a heat sink to the motor.

As a guy who works at a bike shop let me say that you will wear through your chain and gears so quickly

Highly doubt the sur Ron was in sport mode haha but still cool bike

It's not a direct drive its carriage-drive or mid drive, a real direct drive is bigger and its mounting inside the wheel, and its soundless or more silent

i can only imagine how much that motor and controller cost, not to mention the battery. poor people cant afford a build like your diy

It's looking clean and have good specs, but for 2300$ (without the bike) It possible to build faster bike with longer range....

If I see one of these when I'm backpacking on a trail I might be tempted to put a shoulder into the guy as he passes. The ruts high torque wheels produce make hiking very difficult. This goes for pedal-only bikes as well but I see an increase in e-bikes on the trails soon. I will admit that this bike is really cool for the road though. I imagine you would need a road registration and a motorcycle license to drive one on the road. Great channel. Thumb up and subbed.

Anyone can be an expert when you have all these companies to help you and custom make components for you. YOU ARE NOT EXPERTS. And for Surron you will need a driving licence, if not yet , soon (maybe not in America). And your chain will skip a lot and also means that your components will brake down at high speeds or at least you will have to do a lot of maintenance so is not for beginners or medium raiders.

Riding a bike like that on a sidewalk like an idiot is one of the reasons regulation is getting worse

I remember when you could buy a used motorcycle for $500.but they figured out how to tame the sheep.with steep pricing to popularize crappy offerings.LOL

But whats up with that sick Honda CRF 👀

Cyc won't do a unexpected wheelie or one from a stand still. As far as the rear end kicking out. Not really unless you're really trying. Lacks alot of bottom end torque. I have done both gen1 and gen2 with syock controllers and both 855 and bac2000 controllers. My 72v bbshd with bac855 leaves the cyc in the dust even from a stand still. And my bbshd will do 50mph easy. As in the video you can see the rider putting in a lot of effort off the line where as the surron rider doesnt have to. Just shows you that it does lack the bottom end torque. Now maby next time compare apples to apples. Get a surron that has a bac2000 and 72v then put it back on the line and see who really wins.

This is not a direct drive motor it’s a mid drive the sur ron is a direct drive how did you mess this up it says it on their website 🤦

All i heard is that you magically called them and they magically give you everything for free... L A M E

This won't last long, bike drive trains are not built for 5kw and that much torque.

Ride a Surron, Ride a Flimsy MTB and see you cant compare both. Surron is Streetlegal. Ride your screaming CYC crap at 30mph on street and check out what penalty you get.

I can see that who wrote the text had no clue what he us writing about

nice but the surron xx is faster hitting 60 mph

Rear axle on the older than 2021 is shit rear dropout axle

Here's my beef with mid-drives: it puts all that torque through a drivetrain designed to only take the torque of legs.. I think it's dumb, but smart from a marketing stand point.. parts will just keep wearing out, failing and having to be replaced.. I'd rather run a separate chain from the motor to a large sprocket attached to the 6 bolt disc mounts of a disc wheel.. I have one on my Kona Ute.. it's 53 tooth and shoold keep the motor nice and happy at higher rpms, adding my leg power separately through the regular chain and saving it a lot of wear by reducing the strain on it.

Don’t go direct drive, your going to be snapping chains all the time because they typically have more torque than hub motors

Be glad not proud

this vid doesnt give me any idea of what it feels like to ride the bike hard.

Hahahahahahaha

So you just lied you said your bike does 50 mph your bike does 40 pedaling you can get 50 mph.

Revelation 14:12. King James Version. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

imagine mounting cables that are 10 inches in width on your phone your battery only pulls 30 amps that's the max power it'll be able to put out you guys have no experience building e bikes

Get off the sidewalk!

Way to much money

So no shocks in the back is better?

your just reselling a chinese stuff you can already buy , and its all crap anyways. your not going to get fit and healthy not peddling your bike its what there for.

Way too expensive and not alot of booom. I have converted my 1500w to 3000w added cooling veins to the outside of the hub motor, added a 72v battery and the bike easily hits 70mph range is about the same. But the power is mental.

Range is horrible.

cool but its ugly

lol, buying the Trek for $1,400 is just hilarious.... talk about rip off

How to build a short-distance gear-destroying ebike. Pretty much worthless.

10 miles on full throttle pmsl what a joke seen bikes that do 70mph for an hour with similar wattage batteries for less than half this price

299MPH To 310MPH By Pedal Assist
