I've been watching literally hundreds of ebike vids for weeks trying to decide what to make and I must say that this is definitely by far the most efficient and best design in my opinion. So amazing

i love this build, it is so difficult to find YT videos with this kind of build. i plan to build something very similar to that Mid motor build. i have some of the stuff already.

May I know how can a freewheel sprocket fit into brushless motor with 6mm shaft? With a shaft adapter? Thanks

didn't get a freewheel adapter with my cyclone 3000 watt kit... couldn't figure how that thing worked. thanks for clearing it up! kit should of came with the part...

Nice build. Thanks for the info. I like your front sprocket set up, very clean. One item item I would consider adding is a chain guard for the front sprocket as your setup is little wider so your leg or pant legs are a little closer to the front sprocket. My E-bike conversion uses a 48v 1000 watt front hub set up and full suspension bike as hitting bumps at 25+ MPH can be rough on the frame. Problem for me is that my cargo bike weighs 80 lbs. when loaded with 8 6 cell lipos. Do you know what your top speed is ?

Excellent job

You should make some of the motor mounts and sell them online. I have one of those motors on a rear drive set up, would love to convert it to mid drive but just don't have the resources to make the mount.

That's nice work that you've done there. What is the wattage on that motor that you have on your bike and volts, amps ratings?

nice job. Much better than the previous one with a lot of wind noise. Do you have specs on any of your other videos with info on top speed, running time, pedal assist speed, etc?

I want do do this with the big my1020 1500w chinese motor but it's too wide so I'd need a 90 degree gearbox on the motor shaft. It would be alot of work but would be so fast on a carbon bike.

really good work !

Impressive standard of work you've produced there. Did you say what the motor's wattage is? Or the capacity of those LiPo cells? Something that's kept me away from things like this is the cost of replacing the battery - in the UK when I was looking at possibilities I was seeing prices like about £300 for an average battery. Anyway, nice work and moreover - sound explanation. Thankyou!

Thanks for the great video. Might learn how to use manual focus or see what the focal range is, then zoom in. Can you tell us about the costs for the different pieces and the total so far? Thanks again. Good job.

What kind of batterys do you use

@hutchtransfer What is the freewheel you bought with the set screw? Its not the same one you used in the setup that wobbled is it, the SickBickParts Freewheel HD for $80. I cant find no freehweels with set screws at SBP or Staton Inc OK The term is Keyway Freewheel Adapter Can you please explain how the keyway engages the BB Cartrridge Spindle, you didnt modify the spindle to accept the set screw did you?

am looking to put a mid drive on a kmx cobra trike with a nuvinci n360 on the rear tire but dont know what kit to get because i want to run the drive chain on the left side of the bike.

nice, I really like your work... This is exactly how I am making my bicycle, nice to see we are thinking the same way. even bought the same bicycle computer you have :P btw, how is the motor brushes holding up?

Hi! How's the pedal cadence at full throttle? Can your legs keep up to add power?

2:33 wide Q-factor there ! Could you use instead this one :Bottom Bracket Cartridge 153 mm from Sick bike part ? Don't know if the 153mm BB version get the keyed shaft ? Q-factor is the distance between the 2 pedals , narrower is better for the knee of any performance cyclist . Not probably a concern here for E-bike but I'm looking for an independent drive for my tandem bicycle . I want something that gonna turn round with no run out , so I reject their freewheel crank set with the thread for freewheel . What is the part number for the freewheel adaptor . 3:39 : the run-out so bad ?? Thanks in advance for info .

Hi, I've watched all your ebike videos, cool stuff. You did it the RIGHT way! I'm in the process of building an electric bike for myself. My goal is an electric tandem bicycle that has a range of at least 30 miles, and can maintain 15mph with a full load (two people and some gear). The tandem is an easy choice, its a two-for-one, since it only requires one rider but is very comfortable for two riders and there's plenty of space for motors, batteries and storage. I made prototype with my single mountain bike and the motor I bought (450 watt), it sort of worked but I needed a chain tensioner and more accurate alignment. Plus it was only driving inline with the pedals so I had to hold my feet out as they spun. Are you interested in building my idea? I can ship you the tandem I have, or if you can think of a model that may yield easier to build on I could look into buying a different bike. Obviously I'll compensate for your time, and directly pay for all the parts you need or any special tools required for the job. I'd like to be into it for less than one thousand. I'm a mechanic, have access to welders, any kind of hand/power tool. I feel it would be more efficient for you do do the driveling work as you seem to have a wealth of knowledge and experience with this stuff, it would take me months just to research and order the right parts. Tuning and fixing it is no problem however. My vision of the final bike is: a tandem where you can use motor, pedals, or any combination of the two. The two sets of pedals could stay fixed together as they already are, but should freewheel when the motor is running. Likewise the motor should freewheel if it dies and the rider needs to pedal home. Of course the pedals will need to be geared, and I'd think the motor should have at least 3 gears inorder to get the most out of it. Then above all I want it too be stealth, I want the average Joe on the street to not tell it's a motorized bike unless he looks at it up close. That's the whole point of going electric vs the much cheaper and easier gasoline route. Gas makes too much noise and people get annoyed by them.

whats your duty cycle on that motor, cause your gear reduction on the motor its self is a power reduction. for one crank revolution that motor is spinning 28 times you could reduce that crank gear by a ton and increase battery longevity, where your using small cells and speed as well i would think.

Now that is what I call an exiting q-factor :D.

this type of set ups seems to require a chaing gard... in general a device used to cover the chain and the gears at the front... if not it just seems to be a set up to loose your pants, the legs and yes, hand fingers...

Do you think this would be water proof? I know its a dumb question but I'm just wondering how it would hold up in the rain.

You were mostly filming from the right side of the bike, but in a couple of the shots it appears as if the left pedal crank is a good 2 inches out from the BB. With the pedal being so far away from the frame, doesn't that put your knee in a very uncomfortable position? It looks like your legs have to be pretty far apart to ride this and would be very uncomfortable to pedal (assuming you are pedaling the bike and using the motor as an assist) and might even cause knee problems. Do you know how far exactly the pedal arm is from the edge of the BB?

wait so there a separate chain connecting from the freewheel sprocket motor and the freewheel adapter sprocket.

So you took out the thread cranks right, may i ask you what crank you're using now?

Awesome video. I'm a complete noob trying to figure out how all of this works. So, if you pedal, does it assist the motor, or bind it up? What if the motor isnt running? I think you said there is a freewheel on the motor shaft... does it turn the same way as the other freewheel, or do they have to turn opposite? Sorry... I'm trying! Lol

Awesome! Do you have a parts list we could use?

good

Parts links please 😊

what is the weight of your awesome bike?

Great Electric Bicycle. Can I have the parts that we can use to build this one up? Thank you :)

Hutch, how can I email you? I want to do a similar set up for my two 9 year olds

super😉👍

Where is the follow up video you promised us? It's been five years!

Dude move the camera AWAY from the bike so it will focus!!
