Will Chris be along on the comments to give us the links to all the parts? :-)

You need to take neighbor Chris on more outings. He is so backyard it's hilarious!

[@SamReynolds26]

For sure!

[@alexitoe30]

@@SamReynolds26 Any more of Chris for your videos Sam?

[@miguelmatos4320]

Tou could place the controller in the frame, either over the down tube or under, and use packing material to eliminate noise

[@ericm8811]

Hey Sam Reynolds! Neighbor Chris has been up to some diy fun for sure! That Polygon fat ebike is rad! I ride the Monster E FS full suspension fat ebike from Bulls! Thanks for uploading! Ride ride ride!

[@nosreuter]

Wish I had both you crazy guys for neighbours, cheers!

[@SouthWestSouljah]

I think, if I were Chris, I’d build a super-strength mudguard/shelf for that speed controller and get it well out of the way. Still, it’s a mad contraption and it looks like fun. Props to Chris, legend. 🤘

[@meteormedia7021]

Sam you're actually getting really good at the youtube thing!

[@Wo9i7sj5l2a]

So, this is life when you don’t have to worry about your next meal 😮

[@Cheapsh0t247]

i would love to see this setup on an old Raleigh Chopper, may be use a mk3 for the better breaks but with with an older style seat. there would be plenty of space on the frame under the seat for the battery etc. i only worry about the speed wobble with the tiny front wheel

[@willblundell2250]

You could always make the front wheel really heavy so that it’d be more stable?

[@harris7772]

Loved the DIY ebike from nature Chris! And I have to say Sam you have the best intro music of any youtuber!!! 👍🤘

[@chargeriderepeat7024]

Nice set up, I went for a geared 1KW hub on a DH bike, they will climb anything, my mates have the direct drive, its great on flat ground but the geared hub kills it on big climbs.

[@joncrabb5926]

There’s a hill near where I live that you can just go into your highest year pedal like crazy then tuck into your bike and yesterday I went 40.5 mph on it

[@AwkwardHandshaking]

Quick question, where can I buy this kit!?!?!? that's wicked

[@seektruth1215]

I have a demo 8 2010 monster edition and converted it with a 1000watt 20ah and I love it il have to do a video on it soon. Great mate and great bike👍

[@alcatraz9704]

Sam to make your polygon faster unclip the cable down by your crank that goes along the chainstay with a sensor on it..and direct it the other way with the sensor reading the crank arm cadence instead of the wheel,fooling it.you can just clip it the other way again the way it was if you wanted afterwards.

[@SamReynolds26]

Genius!

[@alexmatthew9399]

You should get your drone following chris on the homemade eeb on the pit bike track

[@paulcorrales7845]

Omg that bike is insane, what a cool proyect

[@karlish8799]

That's wicked mate. I have an old spesh sx trail 2 i was thinking of doing something like this with. Might have to put aome serious thought into it haha

Super cool project

What a legend! Get olly to design a tshirt with Chris jumping this beast. Complete with battery backpack and full face.

[@mojaverc1585]

[@jeffxphillips]

Bravo to Chris! I can’t imagine being a regular rider try to keep pace with Sam Reynolds on my ass.. talk about pressure! 🤪 Awesome ebike build 👍

[@faizallutvihidayat7441]

As always great video man. It was sooooo much fun, greetings from Indonesia. I’m a Polygon rider too.

[@stokes58]

Battery in the backpack is a good idea. You may as well put the inverter thingy in there too.

[@kollak01]

chris needs to centralize the mass. put the controller within the 'Y'" of the frame. might be able to buy an actual bracket there for it as well. looks like fun. did the battery come with the e bike kit?

[@dnbjunky]

Heck yeah! Drum & Bass in the intro!

[@georgehliston]

That battery is a bomb! When soft shell lipo batteries get dropped or banged they tend to blow up...

[@j0nnybrd]

It's a bank of 18650s probably, not lipo

[@jonmh1390]

I want a neighbor like him😂😂😂😂😂NICE VIDEO!!!

[@Psyrecx]

Drill and tap a couple holes in the underside of the downtube. Then mount the controller, there.

[@tomsanger6249]

Chris is such a bloke

[@DigBipper188]

That's even more badass than my 500w conversion... Wouldn't mind getting a stealthbomber frame and doing one that could be MSVA approved like Vortecks did with an 11kW kit. only I think I'd give it a little more oomph.

good vid guys :D ive done the same with my bike, but i do not like my batt in backpack. ive had 2 crashes cuz wrong CG ! i was also very sloppy and unsafe with this setup, now ive mounted the batt onto my frame and its soo much better control ! and u can mount your ESC under the frame on the part wheres the bottle holder usually

Does your hub need Turing aka spoke tightening when you go offload, I have the same Mtx 33 And every time I go offload when I get home it needs to be trued it's now collecting dust got tired of getting it tighten hahaha. I have a 750w mid-drive that's an absolute beast been through a lot and still holding strong, and I have been in water floods snow ice freezing rain stairs etc. hahahaha Pretty cool video man Stay safe brother 👊‍

This must be the heaviest bike in existence

Chris the boss

[@Nellosphere]

They should make a carbon frame that you can buy with that kit to fit the battery, inverter, and controller. That way you could take most bikes and just do a parts swap.

[@erikperik1000]

Cant, you put the controller in the backpack also?

[@DroppingInTV]

Sick 🤟🏾

[@sidewaysPT]

Change that Dean's connector for an XT90. Dean's aren't meant for that much current and it will go faster with a better connector 👍
