I’m still impressed my bafang 750w mid drive is still running flawless after 5 years without any maintenance. I also have a whyte e160 running bosh 250 watt to get exercise. I use the bafang more in summer to cruise around. I would love the defang frame with 1000w bafang at some point when funds allow it. Electric bikes are the best invention of today. Love watching your vids buddy don’t always comment but always watch 😁👍

I had the Dosh to build one, I've often wondered if I could eventually save up (hardly likely as I'm useless) 🤣 and maybe stick a 72v on mine with a bigger controller - although it would probably melt my 1500w Voilamart motor, unless I put heat-sinks and used that (is it?) ferro fluid stuff you put in the hub to draw out heat? But I guess I'd most likely have to up the wattage of the hub - I got a bleeding Sabvoton 7245m controller, bought a Bluetooth device and loaded the app to my phone but when I put it on my kit I couldn't get the app to work and when I turned the throttle the darn chain turned as it was locking the freewheel cassette, which really pissed me off as the controller was £180 and the Bluetooth dongle was £40 - waste of money it seemed...but damn it, it seemed a lot more powerful.. But the shunted 35a controller is actually quite fun really, I guess I'm doing ok for 1500w really 👍

What I wasn't expecting was that the cost of gas and oil is catching me up to e-bike prices in the long run. E-bikes can ride pretty much anywhere but the gas bike has a lot of restrictions.

This is cool to see but at 500 dollars I don’t know it would be worth it. Very quick!! It’s lighter than most e-bike frames, just for pure performance its value may be there. Another thing to consider in the states entry level e-bikes at Walmart are going for around 400$ and e-bikes on Amazon are around 450-500$ that’s for entry level smaller motors. Main concern I would have with this build is stopping power of brakes, and weather resistance. I enjoyed video 👍, good job. 😊 I would include maybe the watt hour of build as this is one of the most important things pertaining to enike specs.
