I MADE A CRAZY POWERFUL DIY DOWNHILL ELECTRIC BIKE! 

4200*

MORE than ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!! they basically modified a bafang conversion kit, it shows me 3.7 k euros, and over 4k euro the long range . absolutely RIDICULOUS and you even need to join a wait list LOL

Can buy a full e bike or suron for that

@@horicosma definitely better quality and over-engineered than bafang but yea that price is mental

I remember when it was 2000 euros or 20 Benjamin's and tougth that's way too much i was thinking if they are not going bankrupt and they get them mass produced it will be cheaper more fair price.. I guess they are aiming at people who already have a good emtb and a good Enduro bike etc that has way too much money and wants their emtb to perform like a electric motorcycle which it will in combo with a bimotal

Awesome mate I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

I only got an e bike after a serious heart condition from an injection back in 2021. But not having 10k to drop on a name brand, I opted for a chinese frame / motor combo. Dengfu e22 / Bafang ultra

Haha I didn’t know he had one actually

Yea and he’s made it better 🤙🏼 go to matts compound with the air big and get jonno his brother too lol 😂😅

Nothing can beat the Marinsult!

And the stink -E

Sam, yes do this if you can. You’ll have carefully thought through your influence on trends in the sport. When you make that vid, then, maybe make sure you both let us know how you’d feel if our trails and bmx tracks became more popular with high powered electric bikes. And of course, there’s the isdue of safety in some of those environments taking priority over damaging the track. For example, adequately strong helmets.

Yeah probably why they went out of business. But this is also peak 1800 and 1500 continuous

Yes it was!

They don't need to, maintaining a 1000w conversion is hard enough

Bafang ultra destroys drivetrains as it is. Doubling that would only double the drivetrain destruction. When first set my e22 up, I got about 150kms out of the first cassette. The teeth literally began peeling away

Hadn't considered drive wear, would heavier less exotic chains and cassette add life do you reckon....

@Ricardofromage In my case I went from a 12 spd e13 Helix cassete. Which lasted 150km. It is super light weight aluminium, so in hindsight, it was never a good choice for a hi power eMTB. The thinner 12spd, and soft aluminium just peels away under load. I then put a box prime 9 spd steel groupset on. And that lasted longer. I got approx 250-300km out of that. Again the cassete wore out the gears I used the most, and they began to slip under load. The cassette was steel, and with 9spd, had thicker gears. But the steel quality was low. Just junk steel, if they had of used a hi quality steel it probably would have been fine. I then bit the bullet and got a Kindernay VII internal gear hub. And that had alot of problems with the hydraulic sequnential shifting system initially. The kindernay chain tensioner also self destructed in no time aswell. So I put a reverse components tensioner on and it is reliable so far. The kindernay gear box itself is so far pretty reliable. Ive got over 500kms of hard eMTB on it now. The oil won't stay inside though. So you need to top it up every time you change tyres or even have the back wheel off. I do get some occasional skipping gears now in the kindernay, but only in the low gears. That was because I didn't realise all the oil leaked out before the first 500km service interval. So it got mashed up from that. I've snapped a few chain quick links aswell. But never snapped a chain itself. It's only the quick link joiners that blow. So keep a few of these in your riding kit. This might sound like very low KMs for e bike. But eMTB is alot harder on gear than commuter e bike. Commuter ebike is just accelerate on smooth ground and once at speed you cruising. EMTB is so much harder on gear. And I like to ride the bike hard too. Full power all day. Over 60 emtb strava koms on it aswell.

I've got exactly same setup as you with a 42t chainring and top speed is 35mph on throttle only, there is no way you are getting 48mph with that setup unless your wheel setting on the display is not right.

Figures aside, this I exactly what I've been mulling over with an old Blur lt or Nomad, but i was thinking hub drive, having read this about gearing........ Nice one guys!!

Just what I was thinking! Take it anywhere rough or rocky and thT motor will be pierced or ripped off the frame!

Not only that, it was "2021 or 2022...I can't remember"...if you're struggling to remember a couple of years ago at your age just wait til you get older.

So much fun!

Even if you don't land on it, if you land on your wrists, its still and extra 4kg pushing your bones into the ground. Higher chance for injuries.

I didnt watch it all beforehand lol

😂

And CYC

It wasn't fast enough!

They do

They don't.

No 😂 instant write off

@@SamReynolds26 Design is fail, like that voiceover.

Yeah don’t really know actually! Probably won’t go on the roads with it

Haha ya both need to watch the last video matt jones done with his Marin E BIKE diy build. Think it hits near 40 mph. He has ben next to him. in the car!

@@SamReynolds26 BUT you can get reg an moped

Yep, not legal anywhere on public land/road in the UK. And only on private land with express consent of the owner. Whether we like it or not that's just the way it is.

That bike looks discrete, so long as you aren't going stupid fast on the road without pedalling it wont attract attention. I would put the battery in a bag on a rack on the back

Haha it would actually be great wouldn’t it! So many laps!

now try going up the loam tracks...

It will be so awesome if you could make a loam track with your bike and it might beat the world record for having fun

I’ll try it on all the bikes eventually!

1500w for eMTB is like double or tripple what the name brands shit out. Eg Bosch, Shitmano etc. But for me, I would consider a nice entry level power figure. My first eMTB had the bafang ultra which is like 1000w nominal 1500peak. And at first I thought it was alot, but you soon get used to it and quickly want more. I think around 2.5/3k nominal would be a happy medium where it's still a bike you can ride on MTB type terrain. Enough power to get up and boogy on. But not so much that the weight of the motor and battery you need to run it push it more into motor bike territory. But that's just my opinion.

Ok! Thats a good idea

@@SamReynolds26 yea pretty sure matt is on bike no 2 of DIY. builds sure he has a stinky E and a marin e bike try some hits to the air bag!!

Ah really! How easy was the Suron throttle to fit?

​@@SamReynolds26the sur ron and cyc throttle has 3 wires and it's color matched two colors are the same the third wire just connect to the unmatched color and that it oh and wire gauge are the same. I don't know about the paradox kinetic wiring and gauge but you need to check wiring diagram and voltage or contact the manufacturer and see if they have a throttle. Oh if attempting to upgrade to a throttle some country it's illegal to add a twist throttle. Hope this helps 🍻

@@jondonut1810 you need to split the wires to use the original cyc connector

@@SamReynolds26 it's easy because it's just 3 wires power , ground , and signal that's it took me 2 hrs total Your kit is the paradox kinetic I looked up for wiring diagram couldn't find any you could try contacting them for recommendation to throttle conversion

I got 150 km out of a e13 Helix cassete on a bafang ultra powered dengfu. The teeth literally started peeling off. Next cassete/group was a box prime 9. Got about 250km put of that before the ultra munched it up. Then I went with an internal gear hub.

Haha that would be awesome

You can get a full suspension emtb for 3400 from cube haibike giant and rock climber ,the rock climber got wp suspension same brand as KTM mc and has 150 mm and Shimano ep 8 ..i saved up half in gift card's for that rock climber I just need to sell my old levo from 2019 first because I want a bike with warranty because I had to use the warranty on my levo,,which is kinda good because now it has new motor battery display and better rear hub..which might be a good selling point ..but the paradox is really cool 😎 I would like one on my trail bike it's just like you said not worth the price when you can get a emtb with warranty for approximately the same price

@@HeathenRides SCOTT also

Shut up Julian allen

Shut up bro😂 you have a brain yourself and so have other people its up to them to use it😂

​@@bigounce3524 si

Move along Karen. Absolute loser.

What is the issue? Still a downhill bike.

Don’t they make formula 1 cars, moto gp bikes and pretty much every bike racing World Cup cross country, enduro and downhill with carbon?

@@SamReynolds26 Yup, great for one or two races, then it's done. Turbo charger is great for extra power but shortening the life of the engine is the trade off. It's a trade off. I prefer things I can repair or maintain for decades. PS: our industrial revolution was made of steel, glass and other non toxic materials. We've been sold out and sold a bill of goods with a short expiration date. Plastic vs Glass, I'll take glass hands down, at least I can recycle it cheaper and create over and over again.

@Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe, best netname ever, let's go Brandon!!!🤙✌️😎

Awesome I just don’t know which ones are comparable! Definitely need to get one
