I BUILT the CHEAPEST 1000 watt D.I.Y E-Bike on AMAZON

You cant really go wrong for the price. Great budget build certainly get about quicker than a standard push bike.

Disk brakes is a must though. In a year you'll wear down the rims and will need to buy a new wheel

[@AutisticMan78]

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 😁👍

A 33mph bike for 500 quid brand new is mental. Faster than a (legal) moped.

[@thirdeyesurvivor3886]

If you want to go even cheaper you can get a gas engine kit for $100-$150 and that will make your bike go 30-35mph. I had a bicycle I bought for $20 at a garage same and I put a kit that was about $120 from eBay on it and it went 32mph and that’s $140.

$633 is still quite a lot of money for a e-bike that might break down in a year. You could instead purchase a $500 motorized bike that performs exactly the same as a $25,000 electric bike.

Which bike brand is that

I want to know too. I’ve seen way too many disaster reviews of Chinese off brand bikes, but I keep hoping for a decent brand.

Anything with an internal combustion engine equals a world of pain in the UK - MOT test, expensive insurance, expensive fuel, road tax, speed cameras everywhere, congestion charges, ultra low emission zone if you're on London. ebikes are the future.

[@diarmaidok]

That's class, next time I'd love to see you use it to work for deliveroo for a night and see if you can poach jobs from experienced deliveroo regulars on more expensive ebikes and scooters. That ebike would probably be grand as long as you charge it in the shed. If you're riding it and the battery starts smoking, point it away from people and jump off! Have you seen an ebike fire in real life?

[@MickyBee73]

@@jaykavcher7472 I'll bet it is, I wish (really do!!) 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 👍

[@Dave64track]

That is a pretty good bike for the price it could certainly shift.

[@Paul_Gale]

Not bad , I wanted to buld an e-bike but a gas 2-cycle engine kit was CAD $160 for everything, so I went that route. also at the time of purchase, a lot of bikes were catching on fire while riding or charging. 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.

Well done! Great video!! Finally some budget builds.. This is excatly what I've been waiting for!! I want a ebike so bad but just not prepared to pay the huge amount that they go for.. The only thing would of been nice is to see what roughly the distance on a full battery would of been.

[@bentp4891]

The wheel that came with my cheap ebike kit was the weakest part. I'm constantly tightening and adjusting the spokes. The paint is all peeling off too. The actual motor and controller have been good. (I did spend a bit more on a branded battery though)

[@e.3-0_m3]

See it is limited to 32 mph same on my one you can feel it limit have any idea how to full unlimit it great video 👍

[@Streetpreaching7]

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.

[@MarvinWestmaas]

There is no way I would build that for the simple reason I wouldn't want a fully rigid bike going 30mph+ with bad possibly a bad road deck or conditions, and v-brakes. I think the built is excellent, but for double the amount you spend on the bike you should be able to get a 'real' bike with some budget hydraulic brakes ( Zoom or Tektro or something ), a Suntour coil fork and a frame built to a standard it can cope with some impacts reliably. Cyclesuk has an Orbea Onna 50 for ~500 quid, wouldn't be my first choice but UK prices seem to be quite harsh and amazoncouk's selection was meager to say the least ( or was that because it only showed shipping to continental Europe not sure ). Even for a budget build, I would put a large part of the budget towards the things I rely on for safety; frame, suspension, brakes, tires. I know it's a big gap from 150 to 500, but you can always go for a proper second hand bike with some hours on it but with decent reliable components. Saving on a budget motor, battery and controller within reason as I don't want another 'to cheap to be true 48v 20Ah battery from Ali like I got once before, makes a lot more sense. I would probably have looked into using that battery bag anyway, even if you ziptied and duct taped it onto the frame with bag and all. Just because I think it will add some more weather protection ( against moisture ingress, I don't know how well your ducttape job is ). Maybe throw in some of those crystal moisture eaters bags you often get for free with random items you buy , especially if you don't plan on taking it off anytime soon it probably does add some more protection by absorbing moisture which leaks into the battery 'encasement', Ow I know btw that even those packs should have weatherproofing with foil layers, I just never trust them. Better safe then sorry, maybe I'm getting old. It's an excellent bike / build for the absolute minimum, and if you ever get stopped by the coppers you can always say you had really no idea you were going anything over 15... you never know Now for this pricepoint, I do wonder if the price difference between a '1000W' kit and a 500W kit from a 'known brand' would compare. I have zero trust in Ali wattage ratings, unless known product and known seller with good reputation. I mean if you go absolute budget for the bike, how would it do with a real budget motor ( but still not a Karen approved one ).

[@MarvinWestmaas]

I think that Orbea I mentioned above would be considered a really good base for a 'higher budget / mid level build', depending what you pair it with. The frame has mounting options and the triangle doesn't look to restrictive, comes standard with a 1x drivetrain, budget Suntour 100mm coil fork with lockout, budget Shimano mt200 hydraulic brakes and decent kenda tires. More budget -> cheap rear hub drive, can't go wrong. More 'interesting' -> mid level mid drive, preferably with ( additional ) torque sensor Also more interesting -> moar powah rear hub and as much battery and controller you can cram in the triangle ( + maybe controller behind the seat stay or under the downtube for more airflow ). Also maybe even interesting due to personal preference-> Orbea with BBSHD fully decked 52v battery capable of delivering the 30A the controller can be set to. Preferably with a 15s pack undercharged each cell to 4.1 so 61.5v. That's 0.5V below the controller's 62v HVC, and will give you a much more stable voltage curve through your ride compared with a 14s charged to max capacity. That's a little over 30x60~1800W with a fully topped battery. I would probably upgrade those mt200's at that point though, they are fine for me but I've only got 750w.
