I live in Taiwan and have been thinking of converting my bike to an ebike as I'm getting older now and can't handle the hills. Can I say how helpful and well done your piece was, even though you think you are not good at doing this kind of informational video. It was excellent and you deserve a bigger audience. All the very best to you from a Brit in Taiwan..
Great speed for 250watts. I have a powerful ebike and on that I like to keep the speed around 20-22mph, which feels safe, so really your bike is nearly fast enough.
Average rider on average terrain usually always gets 1 mile per Amp hour, this is what I've observed in over 10 year's of messing with kits and battery's.
@@ianmangham4570 so 20ah battery will get me 20 miles?!? I don't think so. More like 40 miles throttle only everything average. My weight 75kg, bike 25kg, mostly flat, some off road, some sleight hills.
My motor assisted bicycle is petrol 2 bhp 66cc i get 300 miles to one gallon of petrol and one full tank is 40 miles at a speed of 15/ 40 mph max ok keep safe all 🤪👍
Yeah, that's what I did with my 250W bike(s) and used a 60V 16s Lipo battery. Really good for commuting, as you can generally keep up with traffic in a 30. Then I built one with a 1500W 48V motor and put a 16s battery on it, which does something like 45mph. Got to behave yourself with that one to avoid drawing attention. But even with a 250w 36v setup, you can commute faster because you don't have to use muscle power to accelerate from lights/junctions.
@@montyclemons4059 55v battery ,controller is for 36v-48v it has 8 large mosfets and capacitors are 9volt ,low cut off is approximately 42volts using my 55v 13ah battery
Hi Ian, I'm about to build a 250w kit and I was thinking about that, I am intended to put a 40v battery on the 36v kit but was thinking about testing 60v on it. how your controller handled it? everything's okay?
SOOOO, has anyone heard of 'Spoke Failure?' my son and I were riding yesterday afternoon on our local bike trail, when I was riding behind him, he has a regular mountain bike, I have my e bike. He was going slow, about 7-8 miles/hr (12 km/hr) when he stood up to get more power to get up a hill when his front tire just gave out. It looks like he hit a truck at full speed, that's how bent the tire was. We called a cab and it's a good thing I had my tools, we needed to remove the tire to fit it into the taxi. We took it straight back to the store we bought it from, it's still under the 90 days return, so we are going to exchange it for a single speed 250 watt e bike they have there. They should allow the exchange considering they will get more money after the exchange, they have the bike in the store already, the manager wasn't there yesterday, so we have an appointment this morning to discuss the front tire and the exchange.
Morning, Mr D. It’s blooming hot. ☄️☄️☄️I didn’t get any sleep last night, but just woke up from a kip. The bike looks grand, but I haven’t got any spare cash, unfortunately. I hope someone snaps it up.🌞🌻🚴♀️🚵♀️🏆🥇🌞
I just watched this from down in Kent as I've been debating about a power assis ted bike and I'm sold 🙂 On top of that your calm demeanour, no matter what is awesome, I like it. It's nice to come across a chilled out channel regarding tech. Usually its featuring effing and blinding... but hah... love it 🙂 One thing that would be cool to se eif when the battery runs flat, can you pedal normallt? like it was a ormal mtn bike or whatever?
That wouldnt get up my hills i have in my area . My ebike is a 1500w rear hub with a 2000w controller and a 60v 30ah battery . On the flat with a fully charged battery it will do 60kph and up my hills about 35 to 40kph . You dont have to go fast but its good to travel along with the traffic as to not be a hinderance to them . I built my own bike and it has 203mm hydraulic brakes on it for safety . I also have a 3,200w mid drive bbshd motor on a bike . Both my bikes look alot safer than that bike your riding .
