Watching Jason Statham do a 4 part e-bike build video was entertaining. Good job mate 😂👍

Steve,one big advantage with hub drive is if the chain breaks (and they do) you can still get home provided you have the battery capacity 👍

Watched all four of the 2000 Watts videos it's so refreshing someone of your knowledge given a step by step video without shoving a paid sponsorship in your face or asking for a coffee or to become a patreon . Thanks for sharing and helping people find a cheaper alternative e bike 👍 .

I’ve been watching your vids for flipping long! How I missed this vid is crazy! First thing in the morning is straight cruise control!!! 🙏🏾👊🏾🏆

Wow! This looks so awesome to ride! Thanks for posting the videos.

I was just thinking how good that bike would have been when I was commuting into work from Rayleigh High Street to the First Depot in Hadleigh. Then you only bloody rode it hahah. What a pleasant coincidence.

Burnouts at the traffic lights 😂👍🏼

You had my heart in my mouth few times Steve excellent video

Thank you for a nuther video...the video explaining about spacers needed on the fitting of hub ..and I had no idea aboute touq arm..stuff like that ..mate your a good guy THANK YOU

Steve great video and that Rockhopper build is Awesome!!!

Just got my 48v 1000w up and running today and I'm loving it the only compromise I made was to remove the stickers from the rim lol

Great video brother. Thanks. Keep em coming

I run an ebike,but watching the speed run I nearly had a brown trouser moment when you ride in traffic! ps.....I am an old duffer (71).

Love your channel. I’m building one in Aus for deep bush Ganja grows🤟🏼🍄💪and mushroom forages!

Nice one Steve 👍 great looking bike and I must say the barbers shop looks cool 😎

Thats a really nice looking bike and rides like a dream by the looks of it.

That's a cool bike and the coolest barbers ever.

finally a guy thats not a bell end and actually does his videos how they meant to be good work my dude reason i said finally not a bell end bcuz this guy makes videos instead of jus a dude sitting in a chair talking about will a bike ride lol

In U.S. there's a limit on watts, a 2,000W e-bike is a Class 3, in same category as motorcycles.

Cant wait to try/build my own , recently had shot of vitus e sommet vrs first time on emtb then a blast on mates talaria sting it was awesome lol love aw the videos keeping it real cool from the start fan from glasgow 👍😎

Another great video 📹

Brilliant….. overtaking cars on a bicycle 😂 love your stuff bud but I do wish u would wear a helmet at the very least. Looks like a cracking bike. 👍

Hi loving the vids I’m half way through doing my chopper,can you do a few vids on the yellow chopper pretty please

Built this kit last year, it's more than sufficient for most needs, hasn't let me down once. Battery drains fast at highest power assist levels,but I rarely use them. I manage to reach about 30-33mph on the 3rd level with some peddling along. I only use higher power assist with hills / bridges, as my cadence gets uncomfortably fast above 35-36mph. Perhaps I should replace my front sprocket for a bigger one. Consider it a speed pedelec kit, it behaves in a similar way, with similar speeds & acceleration, only with the option of a thumb throttle (and cruise control apparently). Best lockdown project I've done!

Watching the video has me in the hunt for a specialized bike, handling looks sweet. I wanna compliment you on the clean look of your build.

that looks like to much fun

Awesome feature

Awesome bike 👍

Throttle is illigal in the Netherlands but they never said anything about cruise control,so now i only use the KT controller.😂😂😂😂

Uau! Show de bola. Parabéns.

Make shore when you're testing any ebike don't pedal just use the throttle accelerator.( No pedaling)

Yeah I ran into that cruise control issue on my first couple of bills she was terrifying couldn't figure out how to turn it off I don't use those break either

I use the befang mid drive and have thought about buying the 1000watt mid drive with frame in battery and motor closed on frame, but it’s still gonna do the same thing so I’m not wasting me money it’s pointless imo.

You should be on the road man!

Hub drives have about half the torque for the same power as mid drives which is why people say they can't get up hills, however the 55nm my 1000w 48v kit makes gets me up any hill no effort, maybe sometimes a little pedalling to take some strain off the motor

got my head checked By a jumbo jet It wasn't easy But nothing is No … When I feel heavy metal (Woo-hoo) And I'm pins and I'm needles (Woo-hoo) Well, I lie and I'm easy All of the time but I'm never sure why I need you Pleased to meet you………😂😂😂😂😂 look how much you have improved……….. this vlog is still getting views pal.

Nice looking bike , I’m 6.2 so might need a larger frame , I currently ride a NCM Moscow plus 29er XL frame (it’s a 48v 250w hub) pedal assist only , I do have a throttle but it’s 🇬🇧 spec so software locked or something as it only goes walking speed at full throttle 🙄.

Love it I definitely want one...my original barbers "Winstons" is still there (his son runs it) 57 years on. I'm bald so dont use him much lol😂

Looks good

I had a 500 Watt fat bike stolen back in May. I have just baught a 1000 watt MTX off ebay for a Carrera Hellcat 29r. This series has really helped out. I still need to get the battery I was planning on getting a 48v 19AH. This will now be my third Ebike and first self build. Thanks for all the information, although I would of liked to of seen you install the pedal assist.

Nice one - although I don't agree 100% with all that you present - hub drives work just fine - I picked up a cheap 2nd hand bike with an inframe / inbuilt battery 36v - and 250w rear hub motor and no throttle only PAS. That extra assistance got me powering through mud puddles and boggy terrain with ease - I have been mountain biking for many years and have never had so much fun and ease plowing through normally tough and long mud bogs even with mixed 50/50 dirt/road tyres. Hill wise very useful but I did have some issues in icy conditions on mid hill starts because the backend kept slipping out as I needed to spin the cranks before the motor kicked in - I am sure with a thumb throttle it would have been no problem as I could have kept the power on , even with the wheels spinning and gained enough momentum and balance to get to the top.

You really like those 2k motors.. and with all your experience. I tend to listen..

guna try the cruise control out today on the marin i bought off of you she is still flying out of itnearly done 2000 miles on her now with no dramasi did cover up and move the controller as i,m out in the wet all the time other that that its beeen spot on thanks bro :)

Do you wanna build me one I have a Haibike 2020 model. Brilliant wee video been watching the build would love it myself buddy keep up the great work and good content videos. Fair play 👏🏼

I need a ebike 🚲 just like this

Thanks! How many miles do you get on throttle? Also how big is the battery. I appreciate all the hard work man!

Ever been pulled up to check your hub out put !!

I've got a 500w hub drive pushing 30amp@48v (1440 watts) for the last 1200 miles lol😅 It pulls me up a nice 20* hill at 20mph And when i go off-road with it, it doesn't seem to care whatsoever that I've left the pavement 😅 Granted i only weigh 130lbs and the bike weighs 58lbs.

i would like the option for the display to come with an E-ink option, since they show better in daylight than backlit LCD ,also theyre more battery efficient , only downside is at night (can add a backlight to it ) and the refresh times

Does your bin store block your front window from opening? You could probably fix that.

That's Hadleigh shit surprised I ain't seen you about??

why do people say hub drive is no good for trails ? surely if anything its better ? no chain whipping or chance of chain or teeth breaking off due to torque etc, the ONLY reason i can think of is easier wheel remove

I waiting to buy full bike

Nice bike

thanks...

Better than a moped

I managed two build my own e-bike with 52v battery at 45amps. And I ran it on a 48v 1500w rear hub motor plus a 48v controller and it’s glorious. Zip around town and backroads with it. Can sort of keep up with slower traffic in order to keep it smooth.

Yeah those Bafang mid-drive elitists are really annoying. Hub drives are perfectly fine.

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzfaq.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!

I got an 52volt 20 ah to a 1000 watt hub motor and im about to shunt the controller my mates just done it to his and it pulls away from mine of the line for a good bit then mine slowly catches up and hes a good few stone more then me and hes running a 48volt to a 1000 watt motor and it wheel spins up the dirt with a chunky nobbly tyre just with a little bit of soldering

Jeez be careful on them test rides

Hi mate love your stuff how much for a bike with 2000 watts at and bk so u have 2x 2000w all together 4.000 w just a though anyway how to build a 2000w bike for me plz

E - bike weight ?

Need a e bike now

I have a electric bi-cross,with 2000w planetary mid drive motor.

Only problem with my ebike is punctures never had so many, the weight of these bikes is the cause

Looks like tremendous fun but I'm wondering about the legality and also the battery is pretty ugly.

Does this kit have regen braking as well?

This is exactly what I want to do in PA but we have some weird laws around it so I was wondering if the Andy Kirby kits have power selection modes¿?

That's a nice street legal ebike 😂

Power should not be an issue for E Bikes! Cars aren't power limited but speed limited! Bikes should be speed limited as cars are but leave the power limit out of it!

I've scooter hub drive and special with mid drive what's best motor to get in mid drive

I built a 1000w hub kit , with a 48v 20ah battery , I live in Canada and rode through the last 2 winters , I had a top speed of 50 mph which I rarely hit unless on open bike paths . Fantastic product , over 2000 km on the battery and regular use at one point was biking 200 km a week . Total cost was around 900$ cdn eith the battety and my only regret is not getting a rear hub , but for snow , the front hub with gravel tires took me through harsh winters with zero issues . Year 2 and my battery is slowly giving and I lost alot of acceleration but still commuting to work in half of the time public transit takes . Was really interested in seeing a 2000w kit and this video answered alot of my questions thank you . I do wonder, what is your average distance per charge ? I was getting around 20 miles with mid use . I won't be buying a pre-made ebike, I agree the hub motors have a bad wrap online but in reality , I wouldn't use anything else , glad to hear someone saying that as well. Cheers , great videos. Lots of info , cheers!

what setting you have it on in program 14 ? its about 1-50a, but what does it do, if i put in 15 or 40 what is the difference ? nobody knows or can explain it to me, can you plz ?

Just wondering, when you did the top speed test and you said it was 39, is that in mph or kph?

Direct drive hubs struggle up hill that why people think all hubs struggle

Test the Gunia MX25 ?

Did the 500w hub conversion on my bike and it can make it most places with ease. Would recommend doing it and the only thing is that the website said free shipping and had to pay like £70 to UPS for delivery.

Is this hadleigh

sick build. He ships to united states Right?

Steve I've watched this DIY series and have noticed you don't use brakes assist or all parts in AK kits why is that ? Please

Display looks to be misting up

"Don`t pull out!!!....You c*nt, you absolute c*nt!!" Lol.

I think hub drives can do most things & apart from massive downhill style jumps they good to go. I choose a mid drive just because it suits my needs and at 750watts peak 1000watts it’s more than enough, I don’t go over 25mph anyway as on a mountain bike that’s as fast as I want which is why I made front ring bit smaller and crank arms to have hill torque upped over top speed.

What kind of range would you get on such a big motor? I currently ride a Bosch 250W motor, but would not deny upgrading at some point...

Bro why dont you use 3000watts or 5000watts hub

14:52 exactly

Q: Do you drive on the left or the right? A: Yes.

what type of throttle do you prefer for your throttle only ebike builds ?

Dude Stuff... I NEVER TAKE OFF THE PROTECTIVE FILM (for as long as possible), to keep the screen looking fresh and new! 😂👍

whats the top speed?

You can go uphill but you have to pedal bro...

Super A jaka jest prędkość maksymalna tego roweru?

Steve question I have one of these kits with one of these kt controllers which come with the kit do you know if I was to get a programmable controller is it possible to make the bike give me a constant 2000 watts or even push the Hub motor even passed 2000 watts cos I have seen in some of your future videos that you push 2800 Watts Max out of one of these 2000 watt kits

Can you remove this kit off and on early to use the bike as a regauler bike..?

Hi mate please could you give me a link so I can buy a kit from your pal iv just broken mine and really want to replace it

Are you not wearing a helmet, bit risky innit

Is there any cheap mods to make my 1000w 48v abit faster

I've just recently finished an almost identical build (2000W Andy Kirby kit on a Claud Butler 29er MTB). Mine doesn't want to go past 30mph throttle only on the flat in power mode 5. I'm about 90kg and have checked brake's aren't rubbing, tyres fully inflated etc. Any ideas what else I should be checking? Have emailed support but they said 30mph is normal top speed. Cheers

is this 48 volt 2000 w kit ?
