1500W Fat Tire Bike E-Bike! Monster Truck of Bikes!

[@TexasNEV]

Hey Youtbuers! I just released my latest build.. It is the most radical, extreme alter-ego scratch built project.. The TERMINATOR CHOPPER... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGG6dIKLZdJ4rqM

[@prophetnozza4150]

Nice conversion and coverage! I changed my brakes to hydraulic and it made a massive difference with stopping power.

[@TexasNEV]

Thx! Things have gotten bigger and faster since then. Be sure to check out my later videos. :)

[@Zomby_Woof]

I bought the same kit for my Mongoose Malus. Rode it a block and back. Realized the way I had mounted the battery over the rear wheel was a non starter - weight distribution was hideous. Also bought hydraulic disks. The throttle on the voilamart is rubbish - I twisted it right off. Bought some ferro fluid for the hub motor - I'm going to upgrade the controller soon. I did end up having to upgrade my rear derailleur. I was on my way out the door with it, lost my balance and bounced it on the ground and smashed the derailleur. I found it still peddlable even with the motor off, though I probably wouldn't want to charge a hill that way.

[@TexasNEV]

Yikes! Yep the battery on the back is no-bueno.. It is do-able if it is a small entry level 24v system but other than that, yeah the CG / weight distribution is horrible. Glad you're ok!

[@ianmangham4570]

You kind of need the motor cut offs on the breakes on technical trail riding for the pedal assist, both my ebikes keep pushing for a full three seconds after you stop pedaling,

[@TexasNEV]

Agreed, but that particular motor doesn't seem to do that. Moot though, as even if I wanted to use the ebrake handles, I couldn't because the brake handles and shifter are integrated together as one unit.. Not impossible, would have required significant rework. As you can see in later videos, I moved on to much more powerful kits that I have built to my specifications now.
