Custom E-bike Build: Salsa Mukluk 52v 17ah BBSHD Bafang Mid Drive

[@petervigna3579]

Lol going up the hill from stop was nuthing for that lol you built a freakin beast

[@vnmmmuscobra]

That motor hangs pretty low with the horizontal down tube at the bottom bracket, no?

[@NegativeSpacesPositiveEntropy]

I just ordered a 2022 Mukluk 11 Deore, I’m an amputee and needed a bike that I can ride through/over anything I encounter. I wanted to go electric but it’s just out of my range. Who knows maybe some day.

[@chaleowin7732]

I'll be converting my Framed Alaskan before the winter. BBSHD all the way. I'll be bookmarking this video for the product links.

[@davidjernigan8161]

Surprised with the gearing and fat tires it hit 32 mph. Impressive

[@cs-xd9gy]

What do you think about the quality of the UPP battery?

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

SWEET!!! Perhaps my favorite among your many awesome builds. Just needs a rack.

[@Alkaline7.62]

Very cool what do you think that statement would be like with one of the cyc systems, such as the stealth for the photon seems like one of those might give a little better fitment. What your thoughts

[@johnnylong2049]

Can I fit a 50t chainring for the mukluk?

[@RyanJones-v9s]

Great video. Have you done an e-bike conversion on the Kona Wo, which seems similar to the Mukluk?

[@Busa0069]

I’m building this exact bike at the moment. How was the chain line in low gear, with all the spacers was there enough thread for the crank lock ring cover to fit ? Thanks

[@k1ngk0ba94]

Hey man, I just came across your channel and you're the first person I've seen who hasn't been paid off by every brand that they review. If you haven't already, could you do a video of the best ebikes that someone on a budget could get?

[@thatpatguy74]

this would be a fantastic video!

[@claytonmishak6931]

Do you pay attention to Johnny's videos at all? lol.... The best ebike is converting a hard tail mountain bike into a mid drive electric bike... preach!!!

[@k1ngk0ba94]

@@claytonmishak6931 I mean a pre-made ebike for those of us who aren't so mechanically inclined.

[@tallcool1jeff]

@@k1ngk0ba94 pay someone to build you a bike. Do your research.. You're better off building a bike then buying the pre-made stuff. If you can't build it yourself someone can.

[@k.brookhart6052]

Is there any conversions for the original fat tire single speed Mongoose bike?

[@jeanettemercer9586]

Where do you buy your motors from?

[@TheGamingChad.]

hey are you not doing hub conversions?

[@ChrisBFerguson]

Interesting gear shift sensor on this bike. Looks like there is derailleur cable housing caps on both ends of it. Unit Pack Battery too.

[@tenzinyeshe7060]

Hey, my ebike takes 46v 10ah battery. Can i use a second battery thats 48v if the sizing is the same? Is it safe?

[@mkarns7]

Dude I'm thinking of putting a full tringle bag inside the frame on my build, then attaching a 16 AH shark battery to my frame from inside the bag. Is it ok to enclose an ebike battery inside a bag or does it need more air to keep from getting hot? love your videos. I'm a cnc machinist really thinking of building these after watching your videos.

[@KurtVogel88]

Are there any issues with doing conversions on carbon MTB or road bikes?

[@blakeabraham4050]

Hey Johnny I'm getting my bbshd today! I'm excited to start my conversion on my old rockhopper!

[@dennisyoung4631]

My first build was a Rockhopper.

[@blakeabraham4050]

@@dennisyoung4631 That's good to know takes away some of my anxiety of putting it all together. Thank you!

[@timothymadaras1613]

Love the look on that bike but what motor did you use?

[@StumpCatcher]

1000wat$

[@cs-xd9gy]

Did u watch the video? He says what motor he used....

[@vulcan6036]

How hard is it to convert for a novice.

[@disappointedcustomer6857]

Question why the 120mm over the 100mm kit? I’m trying to order a kit for pro install in Washington DC and they said to order the 100 contrary to yours.

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

I can’t remember off the top of my head. It could’ve been chainring preferences of the customer that didn’t jive with the 100mm. It’s very tight tolerances on fat bikes sometimes

[@disappointedcustomer6857]

Awesome thanks for answering

[@scottreimer6513]

Awesome videos Johnny! I need your help on a build but can’t get through on your site.

[@TeddysVentures]

Another great video brother! Love the fat tire build!

[@dougrich1970]

Bigup Johnny loving you video's man but you know what they say behind every good man there's an even better Woman making and editing his content and that's the way it should be so keep up the brilliant work guy's and girls bravo 👏

[@JohnnyNerdOut]

Absolutely, I won’t deny that for a second!

[@daddio1491]

That bike looks great. Is it for sale?/.

[@petervigna3579]

I love the name of this it like mexico meets alaska

[@markkus1134]

About right and not hard to build your own I did and it is awesome

[@torynichols2413]

I'm just getting into this and when you said top end I figured I should stop watching because I was expecting , 6-7 thousand dollar price range. I'm glad I found your channel because I was about to spend way too much money on something from Amazon probably.

[@bwiser5206]

Johnny I know you hate hub motors, but Ariels Kleper has a 1000 watt rear hub motor, that will put out 1800 watts, takes the bike to 34MPH, and has a 20 ah 52 volt battery for $1800.

[@AmericanWSBK]

Johnnnny NERD..OHHH...!! YO... I got a mongoose fat tire just like that with a bafang 3000watt... 52V 13ah... I gotta share it with you man...!!! I'm also in the Redwoods east of Santa Cruz and it snowmobiles all year long. Bombing UP HILLS...!!! note: always peddle assist or say bye bye to drive train. I love my beast. Red with black tires... Mmmm sexy... Shhhh... We taking over the world. Ha ha haaa
