Great video, but as an avid cyclist, your lack of helmets is scary! 30+ mph...a crash would hurt you. Plus the pointy part of the battery sticking up towards your manhood? Yikes.

[@OfficialMonk69]

I broke my wrist going 17 on a turn and my bike goes like 32

[@Nuggets-mw5bc]

Yeah do you wanna have kids or not

[@henri-fillipbauer6579]

Yeah at 30mph helmet is important if noodling around at a slower speed imsipose it up took you

[@seandennis7611]

This is pretty decent overall. I did a similar build but with a mid drive kit so I can go up hills (a mountain) without eventually burning up the hub motor and ride with even less parasitic drag. A hardtail so there would be space for a battery pack in the middle. Think that if you fall forward the family jewels could take a pretty rough hit maybe put a cushion on there if you actually are going to use it. Secondly depending on battery and where you are charging it can be nice to be able to detach the battery I charge mine in my fireplace because im a bit paranoid.

This man is one of the most underrated youtubers on here. He does insane builds, has fun doing it, and in the past has done crazy challenges. I hope he hits 1,000,000 soon.

[@BroganStephens]

I agree with you

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

One thing I'd recommend on that is to put at least one torque arm on the front fork. That fork's kind of weak for that power of motor and that axle is likely to spin out of the dropouts. Also that fork wasn't designed to have a disk brake caliper attached to it so there's a good possibility that repeated use of the front brake will eventually bend or break the fork. There's at least 20+ e-bikes that can compete against the Hyper Scrambler.

[@ChayDenne]

thats a really good idea!

[@aaron092000]

​@@ChayDenne sick video! You should do a collab with e-bike guy and get that 100mph ebike built! 🎉🎉 I'd your stuck on what parts let me know!

[@johngavina1]

I was just about to say the same. Without a torque arm the very torque of the motor can actually loosen your wheel nuts. I have two on my trike build.

I just scored a freebie Marin east peak FRS full suspension mountain bike with a really rusty chain, flat tires and bent drop off (derailluer), but Marin bikes have a special feature to protect the frame from bending when you wack the drop off-a kind of breakaway part or something. . . might just need to tighten a bolt. It's Ninties bike which seems like it has low miles. Unfortunately this model year does not have disc brakes. I am going to be watching a lot of these build videos, meanwhile I am going to buy a new chain, clean it up and ride it as a regular bike for a while. ***you need to primer metal with special bare metal primer before painting.

[@mrkeopele]

I'd say NO WAY to 50 miles, but, I love that you still have all your gears when your e part quits, that's essential, and most new ebikes can't be ridden home when they stop eeeeeeeing! great bike! now that i watched to the end you found out what i predicted, no miracle today, but, THEY DO HAPPEN IF WE KEEP FIELD ENGINEERING!!!

[@vincenguyen4578]

The HS2 motor is only 1000w with 1800peak probably. I have the Hyperscorpion since 2020. Very similar in power but I recently ordered a Ristretto 512 A20, paid $2800 but it going for $3,395.75 with a 15% discount code. It goes 40mph. Mid-drive motor peaks at 4500w peak with 250N.m of torque. I've test ridden it once at their HQ in Austin, TX and recently at Electrify Expo in Austin the bike is a beast. I can't wait for them to start shipping which should be in end of December/early January.

[@Automobilewhisperer-j4n]

the motor will 100% break those forks, also that brake calliper mount looks like it will either snap or bend. i would recommend getting a cheap mtb fork with proper brake adapters for a safe ride

You should have told people if they install front motor you need to have steel forks and torque arms otherwise the forks will snap and throw you off as it happened to me at 30mph luckily i was ok not hurt anything but learnt my lesson quickly was my 1st ebike but now i ALWAYS use back motor stay safe guys 👍👍

And, it gifts a lot of fun to build your own e bike and the battery is the most expensive part.

[@SamuelsCustomBuilds]

Great job! i'm trying to make one as well just be careful with the front suspension because I used one exactly like that bike that u used and it basically fell apart as i was bombing it down a hill at full throttle (the one u used looked like it was designed for a kid / tennager) if that breaks just upgrade to a hardtail designed for adults. 😁

[@FtanmoOfEtheirys]

Be very careful with using a front motor because the forks are not designed to have that extra stress on them. Next time, I recommend a rear-drive hub motor, or preferably, a mid drive motor so you can take advantage of your gearing as well. But overall, great job and welcome to the world of ebikes!

[@ManOfSteelePV]

Just so people are aware, ebikes are supposed to be speed capped so that may be why the homemade one was able to win.

[@eaztharyze3784]

Kinda sucks that they put a limiter in them :( but it's also understandable, because the range would probably suck if the speed was uncapped

​@@AnandaDaCosta the kits at the time 36v 26 inch just over $200 ebay/Amazon. The batteries are second life (from rental scooters) $100ish "shorty r5" with charger from jeg35. Mounted them on rear racks. They have rim brakes and bought the best pads I could find.

[@chb2live]

Editing 10/10 Bike opinion, you put the battery on the top so it will handle terrible. you put a great case around the battery and then put the controller on the bottom of the Bike in a random spot. You actually even had to weld to put a brake caliper on the bike. 10amp hours isn't 50 miles lol😂

So if you did this again with a carbon fiber frame from a road bike would you get up to 50mph? 🤔 I wonder if it would even be sturdy enough to support the added weight of the batteries. Especially if someone lighter, aka shorter, was riding the bike, you’d think you could get a higher top speed out of it. At what speed do we need to start classifying these things as mopeds or some new classification and require helmets and licenses-especially if anyone can just create this at home? So many questions this video has opened up.
