Andy Kirby performs a pedal-assist range test, using moderate power levels and encountering occasional hills. He documents various checkpoints and the corresponding battery voltage. At 6.1 miles, the battery voltage drops by three volts. Andy continues the test, reaching 10 miles and then turning around. The battery voltage remains stable at 37 volts for a significant portion of the test. He faces challenging terrain, discusses puncture prevention, and experiences changing weather conditions. Despite the obstacles, the e-bike covers a total distance of 18.6 miles with a battery voltage of 33 volts, showcasing an impressive range for this setup. The video concludes by highlighting the bike's performance and suggesting that 15-20 miles can be achieved depending on factors such as weight.

good idea for a basic conversion, but I would suggest that you fit a adjustable hinge on the display so that you can easily see the display all the times when riding will be a great improvement on the one your are promoting you will out do the swytch bike system totally

Thinking of getting one of these kits for my homemade ebike so it could be AWD looks a great little conversion kit ✌👍

I’ve got an old Electra Rat Rod cruiser that I’d love to put one of these on, it’s very heavy but it rolls like a train, when you get it up to speed it just rolls with very little effort at all and just keeps going. I reckon this would be ideal.

I'm impressed Andy

That was a cracking ride, they go so far on that charge

Well done and good luck Andy - new subscriber... Havent really ridden a bike for 20 years or more.. This really got me excited.. Now I want to move to a country that doesn't rain all the time but hey ho, cant be too choosy :) _ I agree with comments on the other video, a screen you can see would be awesome and the ability for additional batteries would make it pretty cool... solar panel t-shirts next ?

That track playing, is that Hellen on the vocals? It might be a good idea to do a teardown of the hub motor, I've had a Swytch motor and the outer ring gear is plastic, I've had to 3d print a new one, even at that, I'm looking to cast one out of metal. Just interested to see the build quality on the gears?

Thats very good for such a small battery hauling 200lb rider. I was expecting 15 on the flat only.

Excellent music choice!

Would be cool to have a parallel Daisey chain range extender pack that could hook up to the triangle or backpack idk 😂

Feature request for gen2, would it be possible to charge with usb c power delivery? You could then use any modern laptop charger at the office to top it up while you're there which would reduce range fears for commuters without need to carry a charger which would be nice 😊 I'm a 100kg+ rider and it's hilly around here.

Being an e-bike rider, i value range the most. This looks like a good piece of kit.

I do the low gear thing commuting home from work. This is a great looking bit of kit. I've always wondered why their aren't more of these kits about. Particularly batteries with in built controllers. I'd love to see a similar kit to this but mid drive. With under saddle mounted battery.

15-20 miles is about the max commuting distance on a bike I'd reckon(anything more will just take too much time) Slap some saddle bags on the back, bring ur charger to work and you're good to return home.

I think my question about stability of front wheel drive on a bike is answered , seems to be extremely stable

Seems to be on a par, range-wise, with the Swytch gen 3, but not as good as my gen 2 which I can get a least 30 miles from. Will be interesting to see if delivery times and customer service are any better than Swytch.

Who is singing on your music tracks there Andy? I love your music you now? The best from LB1NH 🙂

You know what be good on that design is a pop up display you can see well riding the bike and see how much range you have lefted without having to lean over the handlebars to see the display or get off the bike

Be good to have a second kit with a rear wheel keeping the red light for the rear or carrier and the white light for the front kit so you always have a back up

Gonna be a game changer mate without all the faff and wires hanging everywhere! 👌 simple installation choose ya wheel size bobs ya uncle! Thanks Andy, you better order loads! 🤣🤣👍

i 100% love and hate Ebikes , im 40 and when i was in my 30s i could pedal a mile 90% uphill in just 5 mins flat ,now i dont think i ever could , my cardio gone downhill so fast over 4 years going electric , but i LOVE the power of it ,got to find that balance in life :)

I really need one of these, after having a seizure and ending up in a canal in my land rover am now on 2 wheels only ( and just 1 when I can on my Unicycle, honest) but this is something I can afford and use daily. I also live on a boat so was embarrassing but have towpaths to go down like you.

Is the motor as quiet as the bafang g311? Cheers great entertainment.

Perfect! How often do you cycle more than 30 km? Especially for commuting.

Is it necessary for the battery pack to be pointing downwards? It looks odd, like it should be facing straight forward…

Great piece of kit, would you be able to deliver to Australia?

It’s got me in 2 minds whether to convert my giant talon back from my Bafang and throw this kit on it

Does the front light do much or why not angle the box higher so you can see the panel?

I have a fiido bike that is similar spec , im a bit lighter and battery is 350wh iirc, i get msybe 25 or so miles. These are good enough for commuting but gor oroper fun i like 1000w and 20ah 48v minimum.

I have a 26'' wheel folding Dahon Jack. I fold it for the train everyday but take the handlebars off the stem using an Allan key. Could I still do this with your unit? (battery off, of course). Thanks.

To increasr the range you could cary an extra Battery in a saddlebag

Kirby, are you going to have pre-orders available, and which size wheels will you carry? Thanks!

Iv'e always thought that if wheels are turning you should be able to recharge the battery while in motion. Bikes, cars, whatever. There might be a way to use the pedals somehow? If I could figure something out to do this, I would donate it to the public so it would be free energy.

That’s Impressive

Is this a Lifepo 4 battery Andy?

Are/ do they have a piggy backup battery available ?

That's all well and good, but you only really need the assist uphill. Where I live in Sheffield its down hill in every direction going out but steep uphill all the way back when you need it. So I'd need 7 miles of uphill power. It's steep and I'm 98kg, would it do it??

I am looking for a kit, and what makes this better than the Swytch?

How much are the kits pls . I have a Raleigh Evo 7 SP folding shopper

How much does the battery weigh and where can you buy the kit. l had a swytch kit and it was crap. the battery died in less than a year.

We are allowed 750 watts here in U S probably because of so many high speed roads and heavy traffic

Top channel

Very good piece of kit give it a few years we be able to do 100 mile on a battery no bigger than a power bank!

Hi andy are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall keep it up you

can the mk2 version have an external battery socket so we can plug in for extra range... I live in mountains and i find it a worry that someone obese won´t be able to pedal up the mountain without a spare

hi , I have a sabvocon controller SVMC72150 . WHEN POWER ON . BLEW FUSE , WHAT SIZE FUSE FOR 72V 8,000 WATT BIKE . AND HOW TO TEST CONTROLLER FOR FAULTS . THE GREEN LIGHT ON SABVOCON NEVER CAME ON, PLEASE ANYONE HELP , DOUG

Who/ what is the Make of the kit ?

Andy for prime minister 😅💯🤠🙏🇬🇧

Have you tried Tongsheng mid drive.

Hi. Andy how much will T’Hsu kit cost, as I knew quite a few people who could be very interested in converting their existing bikes. ?

I have one of your proper kits on the same bike you are riding in this vid and it has never dropped a bar after 60 miles...however my girlfriends Swytch kit Gen 2 pro struggles to do 30 miles in lowest power so really looking for a solution!!!

Decent range for the money, sadly i'm a fat git so would probably only manage ten miles maximum 😂

Cant seem to see this kit on the site . Can you point me in the right direction to find this please

i use puncture resistant tyres.

Are these going to be available for a twenty inch wheel bike

where can i get this kit...cant see it on site

Andy im making a bike 🚲 can I put 4 × 12v motorcycle = 48v batteries in a row please ? Would this work ? If not why please ?

pretty impressive really. simple kit to fit. 20mile range. Pull small box/battery off to charge . intresesring everything in the 1 box on front. be nice stronger batteries if possible for more range. intrested see it throttle only ride! the range ? as some of us are lazy .

Hiya what is the weight of the pack only?

its a nice kit but the density of the battery makes me paranoid ( i would have to charge and store it outside )

⚡⚡

i got 4 tyres on my rear hub 1.75 a 1.95 a 2.10 and a 2.3 never get punctures on the bk and i got 2 tyres on front wheel😂

why are your forks the wrong way round is there any particular reason ??

Would love to see you put this front wheel motor on an e-bike with a rear hub motor and see how powerful it feels just for a laugh

In reality you wouldn't be using assist along a tow path thats flat, so distance can be much more if you only use it when needed😊

Yup. If ulez expansion happens I'll need about a 40 mile range

Can it be unlocked?

👀👌

I live in Canada, anything less than 150Km is a non starter

I think you need to expand your range to 48volts

Im 67 in a few months but dont see the point in e bike assisted pedalling unless you're a lot older and dont have the energy to do say a 10 mile ride. Neitherdo Iseethe pointat riding between 15 and 20mph along a cycle path. It isnt going to get you fit \ fitter and Ibet the guy 'who finally' caught him is generally fitter.

Rainman Tester

No good in Yorkshire either. 😂

Batteries don't work well when cold, but neither do they work well when hot. Warmer isn't always better.

Looks like Holland

Your ez rider is dearer than a new ebike; aldi ebikes are $850 au, why go to the hassle?

yep, one small step for an e bike, one giant leap for cyclist kind.

I don't think the BMS in my bike will allow you to flatten the cells down to 3.3 volts per cell....🤔🤔😳🇬🇧 I wouldn't like to push them that low TBH Chinese cells and BMS suicide is a well known phenomenon...🤔😳🇬🇧

So this is advertising?

18mile range for £500

this battery is way to small 7ah at 36v is never going to be great

Close to 19 miles isn't that bad considering it's such a small battery but it also ruins the point of getting an Ebike in the first place when you only get like 20 miles of range. That is just absolutely useless in my eyes.
