Cafe Racer E bike build

A stepwise build of an electric bike fashioned in the style of a classic Cafe Racer including a full 12 volt motorcycle electrical system

[@salmanlohiya8755]

You turned a crappy looking old bike into a work of art, I couldn't believe those 2 were the same. Very underated what you did

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching!

[@garylee7774]

I've come for your seat!! Thanks for the ideas!!

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching!

[@RayHenry100]

.That’s a wonderful ebike build. I’ve gone the ebike Cafe racer route too and am inspired by your use of stepdown converter and 12v m/cycle switches 👍

[@stupid-clever]

Glad you liked it! I’ve been riding this daily since it was posted. One of my favorite builds. Thanks for watching!

[@bobbyclose9458]

Dude This is awesome!! I have been looking to do my own ebike conversion, but wanted something with more of a motorcycle feel, and this ticks all the boxes. Great job on the build and great job taking us through your thought process and executions along the way. That is a badass bike and I cannot wait to make my own.

[@stupid-clever]

Totally worth it! I ride it every day to work good luck!

[@Teggykid]

Definitely Genius!!!! Currently working on mine. Lots of fixes, lots of thinking and headaches!! Love it! ✌️💯

[@stupid-clever]

Have fun! Thanks for watching

[@whitebeardadventures9208]

it came together nicely...great looking electric bike...Dave

[@krazyhartin]

Great job! I've been thinking about electric bicycles and in the style of cafe racer motorbikes, with the headlights, tank and seat. I was looking on youtube to see if anyone has built one and I stumble across your vid. Thank you. 🙂👍

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching! I hope you build one!!

[@jdear97]

Another really nice build, very sharp!

[@Benmarkk2009]

I want to do the same idea with my ebike. Specially with the seat, that's how I came across your video!

[@stupid-clever]

Go for it!

Nice seat. Great video, thank you.

i guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch new series online?

[@kairamon8810]

@Lewis Kamryn Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

[@dannyroyal7766]

@Kai Ramon yup, I've been using Flixzone for since march myself :D

[@lewiskamryn6813]

@Kai Ramon Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!

[@JM-bg2ts]

You should do some pipe wraps on the battery, nice work!

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching

[@Matt-og5kd]

This is dope, ive got a fat bike and a 1500w motor and I want to emulate a modern cafe racer / electric dirt bike for my first build, now I know how to affix a motorcycle seat to a bike. Have you ever considered adding pedals and an electric drive train to an old motorcycle frame? Check out the super73, something along the lines of that. Great video! Got me excited about my own build

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching! I ride this thing daily to work. It is fun as hell! I think a motorcycle frame would be way too heavy for the cheapo components I used. Good luck on your build!

[@tomeasley3538]

Very cool , you must be an engineer

[@mikeyrova92]

nice bike, thinking of doing this myself. Derserve more views!

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching

[@sudhirseansista655]

I like it its beautiful

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching!

[@jojogonjalves4137]

You could also add fat tyres of bicycle, and it will look more like bike.

[@stupid-clever]

I agree The width of the tire is limited by the frame, but bigger looks cooler. Thanks for Watching

[@jojogonjalves4137]

@@stupid-clever No but bigger tyre would have given more bike like vibes. But anyway if you are happy with your build, we are happy. I was just commenting, don't take seriously.

[@ulsdigital]

AMAZING BRO! Subscribed and liked video! thanks! if you could put the list of items and the specs of each would be wonderfull cause some items are specific to the traction and the horn and lights

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching. The horn, lights, brake levers are just cheap motorcycle parts off of Amazon and eBay. You can literally mix and match any 12 volt system parts you want

[@thelonercoder5816]

you're putting alot of trust in those small wheels lol

[@stupid-clever]

I’m only doing 20 mph and its held up for a full year. So far so good. Thanks for watching!

[@dsymechetanpadulkar5952]

Genius idea But i you would try on Fat tire bike it would look more better sir ✌️

[@stupid-clever]

I agree, but I didn’t have a fat tire bike lying around! Thanks for watching

[@paullee3981]

Yes is good fun. ..as I doing the some to my ebike

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching!

[@NightKidBrandon]

Do you think you can fit two on that seat?

[@stupid-clever]

It is certainly long enough but I don’t think the seat is strong enough to support a passenger. Thanks for watching!

[@ripp3rjak934]

Yo please tell me where you got those turning lights!

[@stupid-clever]

All of the lights were easily sourced off of Amazon or EBay. They are 12 volt motorcycle replacements. Just search motorcycle led strip light. Thanks for watching!

[@tradlessjk2128]

Any chance you’d give a build list or make another?

[@stupid-clever]

sorry for the late reply. I think this is a one off. Just gotta use the bike you have and find the parts you need!

[@jhomarsalcedo6755]

awesome

[@stupid-clever]

Thanks for watching!

[@salmanlohiya8755]

What was your motivation for making this bike by the way? What is your profession? I'd assume carpenter or some kind of tradesman? Or is all this stuff just a hobby you learnt

[@stupid-clever]

I’m just a fan of the old cafe racer style but I’m too chicken to ride a real motorcycle! I ride it everyday to work about a half mile away. A real motorcycle would just be overkill! Thanks for watching!

[@oliver-ce6zg]

Hi i am going to build one like this and was wondering how wide your seat was.

[@stupid-clever]

Its about 7 inches wide. I "trimmed" the seat to match the size of the gas tank. If you are thinking about doing it, I would start by finding a gas tank and then assuming your going to need to modify the seat to match. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@oliver-ce6zg]

@@stupid-clever thanks for the answer, i live in the netherlands and i am having a really difficult time finding a frame like yours , and i think a hardtail wouldn't look as realistic and Nice. Do you think a hardtail could do the job?

[@nathanchalcraft6919]

Wish there where links to where you could buy all the parts

[@stupid-clever]

I think I got darn near everything off of EBay except for the gas tank. Thanks for watching

[@The_Man734]

Good video but I felt like the back ground music was a bit distracting

[@stupid-clever]

Is it 26 inch

Yes, 26 inch wheels

I would of too if I had one! The simple caliper breaks work well with the aftermarket motorcycle levers that incorporate the switches for the brakes. I seem to stop ok! thanks for watching

I agree, but I would need a new frame as well. Thanks for watching
