Prepping Launch of New E-bike / E-Motorcycle Brand

[@alanbutterworth4219]

I've followed you and Margaret for years now.......since the first campervan. I'm an in awe of your talent, your dedication to keep learning and never giving up. You represent the antidote to what is so wrong in the world today. When bureaucracies like government want the state to control everything, people like you show them what an individual can aspire to. Sure, you need other people to help you achieve your dream, but there would be no dream without people like you. I wish you every success.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thanks. We hustle with EU bureaucracy daily and it’s very tough. I’m happy to read your message!

[@BLATSZ123]

​@@ladiandmargaret You should ask for sur ronster to review the ebike so he will give you a shout out and maybe his fans will buy your ebike

[@colinturner6628]

You are one clever guy, nothing ever beats you as you always find a way to overcome any problem. Your bikes look awesome as does your workshop. I wish you every success for the future.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thank you. Future is not set and that keeps us on our toes.

[@QluGymdad]

Great work! I was just fired from a company that started out like yours, but made the mistake of growing too big, got sold to a private equity and they had no clue how to pivot or innovate. They are gone now. Innovate, control manufacturing, listen to your customers and continue to be excited about what you do! Love your imagination and talent. Glad to see you guys back and sharing you work.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thank you. Maybe we should start another channel just covering the workshop problem solving 🤓

[@QluGymdad]

@@ladiandmargaret that’s not a bad idea. We made toys, so whenever someone came up with what we thought was a great idea the response was “ well it will cost $50,000 to find out if it is!”. Getting an idea through manufacturing is difficult when you have to rely on a third party supplier, especially in a different country with a different language and culture. Ladi is such a great problem solver with tooling. He see’s the final product and works backwards to understand how to create a final piece. All great inventors/designers/engineers start with a desired outcome, then figure out how to get there. The shop is also growing! Lots of content there. You started with a construction yard and are transforming it in to a small business incubator.

[@itigg]

On the structural components I’d recommend utilizing obround cuts for the corner relief on sheet metal bends otherwise you run higher risk of crack propagation from fatigue. For trimming the plastic mud guards instead of using the bandsaw, a metal or mdf trim router template will significantly speed up the process utilizing a flush trim bit.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thanks. I’ll look into it. MDF 3D templet like this would be tricky. Something to think about at night.

[@FSRain]

Missed you guys!! hope that Margaret is doing well too! Ladi looks tired but still very passionate for the bikes!! Please do take time off the crazy schedules of work to indulge in some relaxing time!!

[@FSK1138]

i love your channel. people don't understand the complexity of realizing ideas, i have been watching for 5 years 🥰

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thanks, it certainly takes some time and mental power.

[@queseyo61]

maybe its a little late to comment but here are my 2cents. If this is a commuting bike with off-road capabilities the other things that should be able to be customizable (besides the wheels and the battery) are both the sprockets and the size of the forward disc brake. For commuting if someone wants to go over 80mp/h on a long road and extend the range of the battery a small rear sprocket its very usefull and with that a bigger forward disc brake its good as well. On the other hand, for off road the existing configuration of prockets and disc break sizes are perfect (bigger disc actually can be a problem is someone its not a skilled ryder). So yeah, those 2 thing, and using the middle space as cargo space with a net or something would also be great. Thanks if you read me.

[@itigg]

If you aren’t using them already I would highly recommend utilizing hex body rivet nuts instead of round body. They aren’t as susceptible to hole tolerances and have much better torque performance before spin out. Especially since you have a tube laser you don’t have to depend on processes that produce round holes. Böllhoff has a great selection of hex body rivet nuts and even have sealed blind version if you need water tight compartments.

[@ladiandmargaret]

We started using them on this frame. I agree, they are amazing!

[@Luba_z_mesta]

Wait 🥺 the second floor is already this far into the process and there's no video?

[@ladiandmargaret]

[@courtneywhittaker_za]

Greetings from sunny South Africa. Just came across your detailed futuristic campervan video and could not stop watching. WOW nice to meet you Ladi and Margaret. You are an amazing couple and your energy on life and devotion is amazing. And now the superbike just wow wow wow. Amazing stuff.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thanks so much!

[@dg5433]

Love your work! All I could suggest is maybe look at the seat subframe. Length of seat to move body weight and narrow between the knees is a huge thing for off road ergonomics, ride ability and safety. Just a suggestion as the rest of the bike is cutting edge. Keep up the great work!

[@karppadiem7014]

Missing your vids! Good to see your bike making adventures. 👍 - western NY Aimee

[@MaacAbra]

Awesome! I keep my fingers crossed for you! 👍

[@urbancommando6357]

Hi Ladi. I'm an (admittedly inexperienced) Electrical Engineer and motorcycle lover in California, U.S.A. Please, PLEASE ensure the Havoc is not just USA legal, but California legal. Us Californians usually have the strictest standards on things and that results in some products being legal in 49 out of 50 states. Please don't let the Havoc be one of those products! You guys have created something special with the Havoc. It's still in pre-production and it's probably still the best electric motorcycle out there. I love your mindset of "Electric motorcycles don't need to look like traditional motorcycles" and "if we do not need it, we should not add it." The Havoc is going to be THE BEST electric motorcycle in the world very soon. I'm no businessman, but please stay (or become) a private company. Quality and attention to detail always goes out the window when public companies prioritize shareholders over the product or service. It's also amazing that this motorcycle is more affordable than other companies that have a major head start on you! I'm definitely going to follow your progress and look forward to riding a Havoc of my own one day! ALSO: Would it be possible to get them unpainted or pay extra to get a different or custom color from whoever you contract out to paint them? I'm personally not a fan of the matte black look. Something like the Havoc should stand out with bright colors and metallic flakes!

[@vova4585]

You can make a more road-ready version of the bike on road tires, install a belt with pulleys instead of a chain and sprockets, make a faster winding for greater speed, or turn on field weakening.

[@womacko]

Even the colors of the crane fit your color-schema almost rightaway! Sooo happy to get an update what you're currently up to, Ladi! 😊Keep it up!

[@ladiandmargaret]

I painted over right away but the yellow is original 😎

[@andresmiranda3197]

If I had any advice. Make sure packing of the bikes for delivery is very protective. It seems to be one of the biggest issues on KZbin , is bike damage. Which causes more issues for everyone. Love the bikes!!

[@janrhebergen5783]

You remind me of my dad who started his own company many years ago in sheet metal manufacturing for the electronics industry. your entrepreneurial engineering attitude is very similar. Keep on rocking and stay awesome Ladi!

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thank you. It’s a good time to be alive with so many skill resources online

[@ernstheimlich7257]

Kudos on the mudguard. I have tried making one with an ABS sheet and heat gun, which held up well but was not entirely smoothened out. And the second attempt -- printing with cf-nylon and epoxy treating -- is indeed not stiff enough.

[@ladiandmargaret]

It’s all about the right mold :)

New to the channel. And loving it. So subcribed. Having sold laser welding machines I have to mention that you really should wear at least some appropriate laser safety glasses when the cutter is in use. Even a ray that is deflected of the metal can damage your eye permanently! Welding gear is not suited for this purpose.

[@tobyz.3452]

You have a great product and I wish you all the problems are little ones that have easy solution (grin). Best of luck and happy to see your post.

[@GapRecordingsNamibia]

Well done, very very well done, but we have all known about your engeneering skills for some time it seems you just needed a challenge for them to come forward, @12:53 you show some fotos of the mud guards. If I may, you may need to extend you front mud guard some as @ speed eg: 60kmh+, there is a lot of spray back from water in wet conditions, ask me how I know this? You will either have to extend or let the wrap over on the side increase some, or maybe both... You are marketing this as a motor bike so I am thinking in that line of thought. Again very well done.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thanks. I trimmed this mudguard too short for looks. Second one was longer for function.

[@BasedOcra-extended]

Very interesting behind the scenes. But what about the aging battery cells? The battery box seems fully enclosed making it damn near impossible to service the battery in the future.

The seals can be cut and the whole pack is serviceable.

[@BasedOcra-extended]

@@ladiandmargaret but only to people with welding skills and equipment.. For a consumer I'm sure they would prefer to at least have the option of servicing it themselves.

Can someone explain to me the logic in buying any e-bike over $5K? I also can’t understand why anyone would put so much effort into upgrading a brand new e-bike when motorbikes with anything above 500cc will literally shit all over them and won’t need a few hours to recharge after less than 100 miles. Not to mention the added benefit of being able to be out all day or go on proper long road trips. I really don’t understand it at all. If they were $1000.00 new it might make a bit more sense, but you would get a motorbike with up to 10 times the power for $5k or less? The only argument I’ve seen so far is that they are quieter, but anyone that drives bikes wants them to be loud. Not only cos it sounds better but as most bikers already know - Loud pipes save lives!
