How To Build a 52V 1500W Bafang Mid Drive Ebike

I built a 52v 1500w 20ah electric bike using a bafang bbshd mid drive motor and a polygon siskiu d6 dual suspension mountain bike. This is not a sponsored video, I bought all this with my own money. So you know I put my all into it. The battery box is completely custom, watch this video to see how I built it! I have taken this bike on a few rides now and it is by far the most fun I have ever had on an ebike. Stay tuned for the next video to see me ride it!

The battery box design was great

[@jeanmarclaperriere188]

*So far so good my **Latest.Bike** , 35 miles so far, been great. Changed seats, makes the ride a little better. Lot of power, happy with purchase.*

[@kchardisty]

i copied your first bike build and it’s been good but now i’m looking for an upgrade, so this video came at a perfect time 👌🏼

[@cwitham69]

tru dat friend, I only build mid-drive bikes single to three-speed 52v-1500watt. True, powerful fun that lasts a while!

[@Jimmymadd]

Never cease to amaze, dude. Good work!

[@cwitham69]

Little brother, if you will allow me; I'd like to let you know the reason they provide latex safety gloves. You may be a Neurosurgeon and still want to build your own bike. I believe this represents great customer service. Customers may live where no such gloves exist.

[@lbdrummer3]

Awesome build!

[@cafemeceebeet3229]

Don't forget your helmet haha. That looks insanely quick.

[@brianlittleforest631]

Beauty battery solution bud. 👍

[@ewanlaw6907]

yesss this is what ive been watin fore

[@dang223434]

Thanks Goldie!

[@MotoMango]

Nice work on the battery box!

[@stockey]

Handling sheet metal like this, you should wear glove, edges are very sharp.

[@beecoz121]

Amazing job dear brother 👏 ❤️

[@Jonny2Fingers]

Wow I didn’t know the motor hung so low. Hopefully you don’t smash it off some rocks with a couple inches of ground clearance. Turned awesome awesome though! Never seen a kit put on a full suspension.

[@slavojalois1639]

I like your channel and your skills, have you fixed the chain and derailer yet, I want to see more testing and thank you for sharing your passion.

[@doomslayermydad2859]

I knew this video would come

[@joyrebel8201]

Wow! awesome!

[@GwenSwan]

Shoot the inside of the box with silicone.Ohhh okok cool! the way you did it works.

[@Finnegan6674]

You can get a half twist throttle made for the right side for about $20 or less. I would do it since to me the throttle belongs on the right side like a motorcycle. You can do that later if it drives you as crazy as I think it will. My only question is with the battery box where you mounted it will you still have the rear suspension? It looks like there will not be enough room for movement now. I do love this build, great job!!

The Beast

[@AboutMysticismNGod]

fell off my ebike for the 1st time due to the peddle assist and a stick/bad brake lever that did not stop the motor as I braked. So just be careful especially if the motor is over 1000w i just fell on my knee but I had hit the brake as I was peddling thinking I would stop but the bike lunged forward. It makes me wonder if peddle assist is all its made to be or if it should be removed. Its dangerous is what it is. With higher wattage bikes. I got a 1500w motor with a 52v battery, but I replaced my brake levers so it should be ok. That little button inside of the levers can bind up and stick from what I just experienced. No good.

[@chillycheeze2207]

You should get a mic setup. Would be amazing to hear you better, thats a pretty sick bike though, been watching you since the beginning on the yzf450 that you rebuilt

[@SootyHunt]

Could you put the rear and front wheel conversions on and wire them to one unit/controller ??

[@kmtnbike1117]

Bike will still run if you have an issue with your brake cutoffs just unplug the Higo brake connectors from the main harness and your good to go!👍

[@journaloflouisfreycinet8454]

Nice custom battery case. Not many places on a dual suss to mount a battery

[@dontmakememad6759]

What size wheel did you use or does it not matter?

[@chikararexzpo]

With no welding it turned out pretty decent I might actually rivet a aluminum box for all my inside parts instead of using polycarbonate 🙂🖤

[@maddmaxx636]

You should try out one of the popular Amazon motorcycles...

[@Bri-tg6xr]

I see the kit online but where did you find a 1500w battery? I'm only seeing 750 or 1k.

[@malvinacarabas5768]

Hi , what place did you buy this motor and battery from ? Thanks.

[@mattcopiak5220]

does you battery box prevent the rear suspension from actuating? With it filling the space between the seat post tube and the neck it essentially braces the two not allowing the rear forks to move as designed eliminating the suspension travel??? Other than that this bike looks like its going to rip up whatever trail you put it on, will be heaps of fun I'm sure. Cheers

[@Louis-lu5wh]

His suspension doesn’t move in a way which is impeded by the battery

[@petermclaughlin3292]

Wish you could give us A list of tools to have before we order these kits. Also if you can break it down A little more I'm A musician not A mechanic. Thank you l subscribed l will give you my thumbs up .

[@MotoMango]

Everyone's doing E-bikes these days. I guess I gotta try one lol

[@Michael-uk7wi]

What is the range at full power?

[@StraightLineCycles]

Grommets are your friend

[@scottrocks1993]

You could have put motor where the bottle mount is. It looks like will fit perfectly in the centre. The suspension shouldn't hit.

[@GoldGuyRides]

It didn't fit there, I tried. That was actually my original plan but the frame down tube interfered with the motor.

[@yogeshnaik9276]

Pls lubricate the bearing n internal gears with moly

[@GwenSwan]

You should wrap your battery to protect it from rain, consensation, water ...humidity.

[@codydavidson8315]

Don't know where you got the 1500 w bafang kit but I can only find 1000 w where did you get it?

[@GoldGuyRides]

I got it on eBay. I don't think you can get them anymore though because they are technically to powerful to be legal.

[@codydavidson8315]

@@GoldGuyRides I think I'm going to go with the hub driving build an all-wheel-drive bike to 500 w hubs at 48 v and I have 5 batteries that are 60 v and 12 amp hours I was going to put what do you think of this setup, I think you should build an all-wheel drive Bike😎

[@ferguson8143]

The 1000 watt mid drive motor with the 52v battery will peak the motor at 1500 watts but if you have it with the 42v battery you will not be able to get the 1500 peak watts

[@mynameisjundertag3568]

Did you use sound effects for the metal wobbling? 14:10

[@GoldGuyRides]

Nope that's the real sound 😂

[@mynameisjundertag3568]

Lol, that's amazing 😂

[@Modjammit]

NEVER cut power and ground simultaneously. 😮 😅

[@Jon95McC]

Looks awesome but the throttle on the left is just wrong lol

[@sukhsangha1478]

How much bro this cycling

[@bucketlist5460]

you loke like the guy on rclifecon KZbin

[@GwenSwan]

Look up the full throttle from QS Motors

[@toddwynn1968]

Girl with all your comments you know what you're talking about I guess just thinking about building my first

[@Tattedeuc]

Okk

[@GwenSwan]

Get motorcycle tires to handle the speed, road, and better adherence to the road.

[@francoisdumaine8179]

Vous avez oubliez les GROMMETS.

[@bandito350]

Cool build, but designing it with the throttle on the wrong side is something only the chinese would do.

[@slavojalois1639]

It's on the left side to make gear changing easier, it's hard to change gears and hold the throttle at the same time. You can also get a gear sensor to help save the drivetrain or you can flick the brake lever as you change gears to cut power momentarily if you don't have the GS.

[@GwenSwan]

Have a Bafang as your pedal assist only, and have a 8000W rear hub motor as your main motor with full throttle. You will need a second battery to run the hub motor and a controller. Get a ASI BAC4000, which is a 400 amps controller from Accelerated Systems. But then if you do this, you will need a much more solid frame. This bike you have won't resist the torque of the hub motor and will come apart. Also, this bike is too light, you would hit a speed bump and it will have you flying.

[@bigd3266]

Bafang don't make a 1500w

[@GoldGuyRides]

They used to make one, I don't think you can get it anymore.

[@republicfryslan]

Bro said lemme spend 2.5 3k on an ebike but skip on the 20 dollar solderingtool
