High powered folding E-bike (72v) Lectric E-bike! Vee Tire Speedsters. Performance and top speed.

Awesome upgrade. In our throw away society, good to know we got DIYers like yourself to inspire the less mechanically-inclined to make what what was seemingly old to something new. Keep up the great work.

Where can I get the plug-in play kid and do you have any videos on how you modded your bike. I just bought one a week ago and I want to do exactly what you've done.

[@oldmanwithebike]

Hey Grizzly - its 2024 now and I still revisit this video every once in a while. The simplicity of design on those folding bikes just pleases the eye. It's a modern classic. I especially enjoy seeing that you've rebuilt it in all those different configurations. Cheers from Canada.

[@johnmorris3776]

I did this to my Radwagon with the kit from Bolton Ebikes then swapped the controller that came with the kit with the Grintech Phase Runner and got a 60v lifepo4 battery from BTR Battery on Amazon. Yes, lifepo4s are heavier but they are less prone to blow up like the li-ion batteries. Now I have a Fastwagon!

[@iv3051]

Sick build! Had been eyeing these folders for a minute but hadn’t considered modding one… you just opened up a new world of possibilities for one of your latest subscribers!

Sleeper 4 sure man. Super clean. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@perrymickle]

one more thing, if you anyone thinks im crazy for adding the 350 hub to the front when i have a 3000 rear hub, im not because once the 3k overpowers the front 350, it starts free wheeling and doesnt slow the bike a bit, it comes in for hill climbs and tht kinda shit. Im despereate to get my bike called BURN OUT, soon because i also have bad heart disease ad i hear god knocking on more door. I HAVE to finish this build before i answer that knock. Building this thing is keeping me alive. =) peace out god bless you all!!

J52024 and i’m just trying to get it to 25 miles an hour that’s it at least for now safely reaching those speeds not doing any shunt mods or anything like that my Jetson is coming to the grave with me just like people upgrade their Harley Davidson I’m treating mine as a Harley Davidson.

"let me go fast here..." Holy S*** - wow. That thing is a monster. Your hit 45 haha. That's crazy fast on a bicycle. "big fun" - that is for damn sure. Nice mods - really good job man. I am looking for my first ebike and have been looking at the lectric xp 2. Re the XP Premium - meh - I'm not sold on it - I like the idea of getting my own extra battery for an xp 2 - kind of what Sunny Whitehurst did with a 20ah battery. And about the step over - I def see what you are saying. But I'm an old fart and the ST would be easier for sure. I like the step over look - it kind of reminds me of an old school rigid frame harley - very cool look.

First time here ...Lemme start by saying ...Wow ...The piece is nice and it is def a sleeper . I just ventured into the ebike world like 2 months ago and I picked up the xp 2.0 and was not really looking into moddin it to the max but i wanted to squeeze a lil bit more out of it. Where I live its cold and i cannot really ride it alot so there is alot of time i got to to add a lil bit of stuff here and there. Like i just picked up a 11 x 28 freewheel i gotta put on yet and there are a few things i am looking into doing so i can make it a lil bit quicker . I am not looking to jump right into the 72 volt stage just yet ...but dont say Never ...lol There are a few things ima hit u up about but like i said i just got here and i dont wanna hit ya with all the questions just yet. I will check out ur channel and see what vids you got up and then I will hit ya up. I am subbed and i will check the links on the way out to see the links you got up .. One i am interested in is the tires but i only got the 3 inch rims ...I am looking to quiet this puppy down like urs . Lastly nice piece ... ride safe, smooth and quiet and they will never see ya coming ...or leavin !

[@buffalomind6838]

It’s definitely better to not only become a “mechanic” for your own bike, but to also upgrade your current bike as you’ll not only again become a better mechanic for your things’ you’ll also get 3X the performance for a fraction of the cost a new ebike working on technology that is 10 yrs. in the past.

So my question is can any ebike be upgraded? I have a wing fatty and just order the new 3.0 lectric ebike . I want to get more power out my wing because it has the 750w rear hub many of the higher end bikes have. Wouldn’t it simply just need an new controller?

Awesome bike mate. I have not seen many people upgrading to 72v. What is your range with this battery?

idk if id want to go 40 on a folder often or have all that weight in the back, but looks fun. would be nice to be able to get it in the trunk of my car though. I could maybe get a 29er in but id def have to remove the front wheel and maybe go in through the door. the only step throughs i like are the ones with a console filling in the step through like the radrunner. extra storage in the center of bike for weight distribution and helps make it look like a motorcycle if done right. one could do a lot to hit extra batts etc on a bike like that.

[@BoardwalkBullies]

Alright Grizz! Finally someone who made want to copy their work. I'm probably going to get another Biria S2 and do this, being that you have to remove and replace all the electronics anyway (it's a 36v and it's the flagship bike here). Nice job and 👍 thanks
