I haven't been able to squat like that since I was 5. That was amazing.

Rode this bike! Love it! Nice work, Johnny!

You are the only bike guy I see on youtube that mounts the chain tensioner properly! everyone mounts them in the chain stretch position. Cheers for knowing what you are doing. Love it!

Just learned of this mid drive kit. I'd like to put it on a full suspension bike. I just finished a BBSHD on a GT Aggressor Pro. This Cyclone will definitely be my next!

Yeah man I'm ready Ready Freddy I can't wait to get started on my Killer B with your help Johnny!

Great channel, bike & video, you're the Johnny Bravo of ebikes..

when I start my business I will send 7% of what I make I think you have inspired me more thank you

you are doing what I had envisioned about 10 years but to also convert r city and maybe Amazon tours

Good stuff man! Thank you for that Cyclone motor test 🤙

My bbshd with a 48v 500 is plenty power and speed. I put it on a full suspension. Santa Cruz blur, Recently added a boxxer fork 200 mils travel. Added a dropper post. Absolutely brilliant. Charge it from my solar on my truck camper. 26" Wheels. Looking into adding a 27.5 front make it into a mullet.

Wow!! That looks awesome dude🙌🏾

I’d say that’s a FAAAST top speed. Being single perhaps loosing 8-10pm off the overall top I favor of low end gearing. If that were my set up I’d build a trailer utilize those front fork bosses and salute you for a ride to camp bike. So awesome

Jeeze Johnny I might have to buy one of these from you someday soon! This thing is amazing.

Great e-bike build love the presentation.

I never wanted an e-bike until I saw this video. what a ripper! new subscriber down under mate!

Hey Johnny. Just found your channel and know nothing about ebikes. Really appreciate your honesty in another video about them and your approach. Most of the vids I've seen so far seem to be just promoting and selling you on high dollar models I would probably never need or could justify buying.. Digging this one and I'd like to talk with you if possible about ebikes and possibly builds for my wife and I. Jim

Hey had a 34 in rear tyer same set up but with boxxer shox so fun my gear were different just a set closer to 50/50 n single speed could climb really well and wasn't over kill high speed all n all I thought for the time hard to replace but now doing a transfer n watching some clips to see what's good 👍 😀

Thanks for your videos, I have learned a lot

You and others have inspired me. I have a brand new envoy cargo bike, then bought a mongoose dolomite alx, then three of the malus bikes, I was going to put the bbs02 in the cargo bike and keep that for a kid hauler, the alx is an awesome bike that I may keep as is ( i live on a snowmobile trail) one of the Malus bikes has showed up and they are kind of crappy no real low gears. I was hoping to build a rental fleet but the insurance is nuts. So i guess I will be building a couple bikes for fun an maybe to sell. I thought I could rent the malus bikes with out a motor but they will not work to heavy and no low gears, more of a tar beach boardwalk bike. No beaches in the mountains.

Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing this information with us! Ride On Man :-)

my god, the top speed!

I never heard of cyclone, until I went to your store, nice to know there's options other than bebang

Great build, I would add some fenders and a rear rack. Thanks from Woodinville WA

Well done 100+ 👏

Thanks!

The quietness is really what sold me on ebikes. The animals i come in contact with really dont react. I dont think they realize im a person

great vid awesome and valuable informative topicz

Looks fun!

Loved it

Saw this bike in the wild! Video coming soon. :)

sick bike

Ok I got the fever! Lol just ordered from ya! Didn't see chain tensioner? Thanks brother 💪💪👊👊

Stealth is what makes it , can go almost anywhere ... I run bbshd Ludacris program

what I want to see added to that Johnny bike is me that bike is sweet

Seriously I am in the market for an e-bike I am new to ebikes but I have lots of motorcycle experience. So now I am trying to learn as much as I can about building your own ebike I guess I will either end up building my own or hiring someone to build it for me but I definitely want to be riding by this time next year possibly sooner

Nice. My friend has bafang and put a new controller and it does 120 kph but he had to change out nylon gear to a metal one and the motor can handle 72 volt battery but for price wise right bow the cyclone is cheap 529 cad

Thanks for inspiration! Love your videos. What about a belt dive for thus build?

Throw some good suspension on the front !

Awesome

I would like to see a spray video of tools named and manufacturers pally get you some $$ for showcasing

Love your vlog J. That needed to be said before I pick on your bike. First I would gear it lower 39mph is too fast for rough trails and it looked like it struggled to climb that mild grass hill, lower gearing would help a lot. Using a zip tie to hold the drive chain tensioner spring, kinda sketch. What is the large hose clamp around your motor about?

Good video and nice bike! I m dont understand very well english, so probably my question Will be inthe video. Did you built It in single speed because a bad chainline or was your choice? Now I have a steel enduro hardtail with bbs02, and ever think about fatbikes or 27,5+ built, and cyclone its interesting

Really digging your content lately brother. I really want to get into doing vids like this myself and open my own shop. Any advice on how to get started?! All thanks for the hours you put in to this and the hard work to motivate me. I have now built an 5000W Enduro E-Bike and three mountain bikes (one fat tire hub 500W and two mid-drive 750W & 1000W). Cheers!

Hey Johnny , can you suggest a beach cruiser bike with 6 gears and disc brakes that would be ideal for a conversion. I have back issues and need a bike I can sit comfortably upright. I have an Electra cruiser but brakes are the old fashioned rubber friction and adding a motor ect wouldn’t work to well . Thanks . Love your videos.

5000+ miles on my xdurorx29r (HaiBike). Would be a blast to put 5000 miles on that beast...

awesome bike !!! you can hold your battery in that case ? Is it better then the onw mounted on your frame ?

How much does it weigh overall with the battery and motor?? Thanks for the awesome content! I’m looking to possibly build a lighter bike with a lot of power and range that handles all terrain kind of like this👍🙏 thanks again!!

What's the amp rating for the controller and what's the discharge amp rating for the battery bank? I feel like it is slower then most 3000 watt ebikes. Most get a top speed around 50 mph with a 3kw motor

I have an unrelated question about an unorthadox battery. I have a Specialized stumpjumper fsr 2007 and Ive added a bafang bs02. Unfortunately I cant fit a downtube battery unless i go underneath. If the forks went through 70% it would get hit. I dont want to add pne tp the top of crossbar. My question is could I use a 48v frog battery on the seatpost as a mtb trail riding alternative? I can forsee problems i.e. security of attachment and also being able to drop the seat for steep downhill drops. Have you any experience of frog batteries?

This build is one of your best what I would like to see added to this bike is my butt to that seat, I love it 😀 🤣

Johnny have you tried the CYC 5000w motor? How much more of a boost would you get on flat, and maybe more so on incline from a dead start as we are not working with a derailleur?

Advise me a strong long travel rear suspension mod or a longer swing arm for rear if you've ever had to do a conversation. I m almost looking for a dirt bike like rear and front suspension.

so are the tires enough shock absorption? seems like you'd want front suspension if you were riding it like a dirt bike

I'm going to put a cyclone on my Gravity Bullseye Monster. Love the build! Have you seen the new sturmey Archer 3 gear hub for fatbikes? Gives some options besides single speed that can hopefully take some punishment.

I'd like to see an IGH on that bike! If that could work....

39 MPH? Gonna start calling you Johnny SoyOut

I just discovered your channel. I’m interested in a step through bike that folds, has fat tires and has good power for streets, easy trails and the beach. Any suggestions? Do you build anything that fits that profile ? Keep up the good work.

i have a question! :) Have you installed any cyc-motor products, like the X1 Pro or the newer X1 Stealth? Sort of the same sphere as this motor i'd assume... :) And i'm wondering what occasions you receommend to use a 'gear sensor' so that when you're shifting gears the power cuts for just a moment to not completely murder your drivetrain!! 😅 what gear sensors would you recommend also?

Hey Johnny, just found your channel, instant sub. I’ve been building ebikes for a couple of years now, a few of them were dirt jump bikes which I built as single speeds with different bafang mid-drives. I often get some flack online for not pairing my mid-drive with with a cassette or IGH. Obviously, the bike in your video is a single speed as well, curious to know your thoughts on ss + mid drive. Clearly there is a bit more usable power when using gears but I honnestly don’t find the ss to be that much of a detriment. Love your channel buddy!

Johnny how will this build run with a 52v 13ah battery? Asking because I already have one. Thanks!

Stoked to see a fatbike build. I recently got obsessed with the world of E, yet haven't made a purchase...onewheel, scooter, e bike??? I JUsT DONT KNOW! anyway I have a badass surly lowside on 650b x 2.8 single speed...I wanted more than 20mph out of a conversion,, i now I see that I can get that.... I couldn't decide wether or not to invest in a drivetrain also...haven't decided but thank for the vid!!!!!...soooo, are you happy with the single speed or do you wish for more gears? Should I convert this bad mammajamma!?

How did you attach everything on the aluminum frame?

hi! i like your content! I was wondering this motor would fit a mongoose malus. it's the only bike i own and i'm hesitant between cyclone and bafang can you help me?

But isn't there any place for a muscle-car kind of street ebike? My 2 street motorcycles are a Ducati Monster 900 and Harley 1200 Street Tracker. I want a Cyclone motor in my first ebike.

Can you put LCD screen on the cyclone 3kw and if you know does the cyclone website deliver to the UK ?

"Boing" sound 😆🍆

👊👊👍👍

shifting on this bike? Different gears in motor to shift?

Nice dude!! I have a mongoose malus I was thinking of going the cyclone route I ended up getting a 750watt geared rear hub kit 26amp controller 52v battery its a blast! Tons of torque not at much as yours but will do 29mph with out peddling and eats hills like cake. Yours looks great kick ass build!!

Dear JohnnyNerdOut: I LOVE what you've done--take a reg. fat-bike pedaler and add a GREAT motor. & HD-amp battery. I'd like to add rear{?} rack{s} to carry two bags of groceries, and 4 battery packs, so I could travel 140miles @ 40mph on 2nd-ary roads, having a front suspension that if I run off the road, I can safely stop without jumping off/crashing. I want SPEED, plus RANGE, & Range & Range on pavement, now. --Maybe I'd learn dirt-riding later. I'm alarmed @ the chain coming off, why not then add a few more pounds and use belts, which can be MUCH harder to throw, because there are deep grooves on some of the belt sprockets, plus belts don't "stretch" as much as a chain, so they might be more efficient than chains, also lasting longer. Are there ANY 90cc 4-stroke gas motors that would continuously "charge" via car alternator, the motor/batteries, so 70mph and REAL "cross-country" riding would be possible, kind of like the Fisker Electric Auto that uses a gas engine to keep the electrics "charged" after its 30 miles of range poops out. I'm thinking of the Tucson - Phoenix run, which while listed as 120 miles, is more like 160 because I live 40 more miles from where they start Counting. This trip takes fully two+ hours, so would take 4 + hours on a 40mph bike, with NONE able to take the RANGE without multiple batteries {4-5?} if done completely Electric. Also, why not "drive the front fat tire with a center-hub motor" mounted to turn with the front wheel? {like the TWIBIKE, only powered }

Do want. That. Me. Want.

I'm saving up right now I'm going do the cyc pro and get that 100 amp up grade pice for it too I'm going go battery backpack I have a 2020 stumpjumper aluminum frame but yeah I'm saving up now going have you do it so I'll b sending my bike to you

hey Johnny. My IGH Nexus 4 just arrived (meaning i need another Swing Arm but that's another story) and i couldn't see how to attach the Disc Brake, so i looked on here. First one you put on a Cargo Bike but then stuck a Pannier over it so i couldn't see but then you mentioned a Fat Bike build with one, so i checked this out and you squatted in front of it like a mildly attractive Sadu. Can i buy an attachment or shall i just Bin it like 50% of the other parts i've bought for this stupid ebike build.....thanks John

Would have to add a Rohloff speed hub. Big bucks I know but pedaling at high speeds and keeping the chain on are a must!!

Can u still pedal with the motor mounted?

Any suggestions for a bike that can go 70+ miles with minimal pedaling for a guy that's 6'2" 265lbs. I don't want to have to shift gears either. I really need some help if anyone can.

curious to know what the weight gain is at the end. The bike not the rider.

Turing, fatbike? With bags and a soñar panel ??

4:29, I see what you did there 😏😏

great build but why does it have pedals?

Out of Seattle WA. I bought 2 conversion kits. When they arrived they did not send the extensions & the small part that connects to your frame & the back rack. The back rack carries the battery. Covid hit and I think they shut down. I still can't find anyone that will work on a conversion bike or make a part. You mentioned you could build a bike or parts. Please help so we can get back on our bikes. 😢

Jonny.i really want to built a. E bike...or try n built one can u sent me information on building

Just curious what a bike exactly like this cost to build? Thanks

was gonna call it ecotrexx

Hey Johnny... Awesome video's..!! I have 2 questions for you. I have a "TRUE" B-52 Stealth Bomber ebike (not a clone). I ran into a situation last year where I had a flat tire, I took the wheel off to repair the flat, now the bike will power on, but wont go. I took the tire off just to make sure I didn't cut anything, etc.. still no joy.. Do you have experience and work on Stealth Bombers...? Second question. I still have my first ebike, RadRover Fat Tire bike. I'm looking for something a little faster with better range such as the bike you feature above. Is there anything you would suggest with the rad bike, or should I just sell it and build out a bike. I may see if there is something you can build me as well, but I wanted to get your thoughts..? If its easier for you, I'm happy to contact you directly for a further discussion.. Thanks..!!

Johnny please help i have a 750w bafang fat bike. My problem is the controller overheat and has burnt out. How do I beef up the controller ? I need to upgrade it so it doesnt repeat. What do I have to do to upgrade?

Hey johnnynerdout I have 2 questions can I build an E-Bike that can handle a 350lb man I have a 2021 Schwinn 29er mountain bike 8 speed last question is I have Cerebral palsy on the right side of my body so I was wondering it they twist Throttle for the left side of the bike Please any advice would be great thank you

Are you in Utah or Portland? I need help, lol.

I thought you only need a controller when you have a hub motor, not a mid-drive motor...AND I thought you said you would prefer a hub motor on a single-speed bike. Explanation would be great..Thanks.

I would like to convert my bike to an ebike and said that you sell ebike kits can you send me a link to see what you offer for a complete kit with everything I would need for my bike I woukd like a bafan mid kit

I want one.will you build me up one

At around 3:51 you say "[...] I'm not saying this is more powerful than a 250 or something [...]". What do you mean by "250" in this context?

What rear hub?

How can i contact u to convert a BIG ED FAT TIRE TO ELECTRIC

Why not have a bike that sports both a geared hub drive and mid drive applications

why no hub gear in the back?

Can this easily wheelie ? Considering it’s fat bike

Hey is the bike still holding up?

Cool build but this bike deserves an 100A controller

In Australia we are limited to 200 watts power purely from the motor and 250 watts during pedal assist (or the other way around?🤔) which is quite a weak motor from an American perspective. I want a very reliable bike to use for ‘bike-packing’ with minimum 10-20kg/22lbs-44lbs and possibly up to 88-100lbs (if towing my dog in a dog trailer) And I want to be able to climb hills on unsealed dirt roads with those higher weights, but dirt walking tracks with the ‘lower’ weights of 22-44lbs. From what your saying, I should get a standard good quality fat tyre bike, and have a mid-drive motor installed at least for the 22-44lbs (excluding my own average weight) hiking trail bike-packing trips, but if I want to tow a trailer with a 88lbs dog in it or even that amount of ‘cargo’ is any e-bike with the 200-250watt legal limit practical at all? Or should I just accept I need a motorcycle license and a low geared reliable cargo motorcycle like a Honda CT125?
