Great video guys! Andy has been a big inspiration to me when building my Ultra bike. I'm currently designing a true plug and play kit using the bac855 that supports the factory hall, torque and temp sensors if either of you are interested!

Yeah 1st in the world as far as I am aware. Will look forward to showing people the kit once it's ready. There 100% are Hall sensors in the motor it just requires them to be properly connected to. It needs wiring work and multi meters but it can be done.

Great content guys she's alive alright with some of Andy's software tweaks. She goes up the hill no problem and if anybody tries to pinch her they will get a shock if they come off. Stay safe Guys I'm looking forward to a head to head if you do one with the Mid motor v the Hub would be interesting especially now.

Should have just bought the Ludicrous controller from LunaCycles. It is a direct swap from the factory one, except it ups the output to 3000w. Been running mine for more than a year with no issues. No muss no fuss. No wire mess, fits where the factory one is. No programming guessing. Dont need to upgrade to 72v, you keep your 52v pack. It just allows for up to 50A instead of the factory 25A. I tried the phaserunner AND the Ludicrous. I sold the phaserunner, so........................you can guess which one I prefer. You also get to keep all your features. And since the motor is stamped for power rating, there is almost no way to know the bike is over powered.

This was a great video Steve - a lot of people just want some over the counter thing that just works out of the box, but if you want to push the envelope and build your own bespoke bike you have to experiment! At the end of the day it's your own personal build and it's great when you get it right!!!! Informative - and a good laugh!

Hi Andy. Bought a 1000w y-20 on AliExpress that in fact is just a jumble of miss matched parts. 18 ah battery. To add insult to injury if it has a 1000w some one is dreaming. Then coast at any speed and display says your stopped. I usually cycle with a friend and can keep pace on my 750w and hills are fairly ok for me. But on this so called 1000w even on level I can’t keep up. So AliExpress suggested I get 100 euro refund and keep bike. Or full refund but I have to ship bike back to them at my expense. To Singapore at over half the cost of bike. Now I’m in a quandary. Replace controller and display. Open up motor to check internals and repair the bike. PayPal has been little help. Even though I purchased the bike from Belgium they also say I have to ship to Singapore at my expense to get a refund. We’re in fact I did not like bike that request holds some water but but but Bike is not as described and faulty and I’m to suffer financially. Hope in time you can recommend some reliable suppliers. Rant over Cheers

I believe the controller has heat rejection problems, when you had the screen record on phaserunner it showed fast thermal increase. You need an active heat sink on the controller.

You put throttle on the front brake side ....reason been is you want your fingers over back break at all times .....The front brake is secondary brake ...use that once speed low enough ... If you have throttle on back brake side you can not hover fingers on the brake and use power .....it even more evident harder with twist ...why that matters is your reaction time to stop is much slower
