Craig holding back and not beat the crap out of sean every video is a testament to what a good man he is working with the special needs 👏

I love how so many one star Amazon reviews have nothing to do with the product itself, like almost getting hit by cars lol.

When I was in fourth / fifth grade in Portland I delivered 30 afternoon papers and a big Sunday morning paper and bought me a large skinny wheel 3-speed cruiser bicycle. I could stand on the pedals and coasting down the hill in the middle of the road swinging the bike left and right with my arms in the air until one day I ended up in the ditch. My family also delivered the morning paper until we made enough to buy our first color TV for the living room. That route was done in a station wagon as it was a cold snowy winter.

6:23 by God, that desktop management is something to behold.

Craigs bike was still doing pretty good considering hes probably around 250 lbs. That motor was moving him pretty quick.

On Amazon, I just ignore the 5 stars and 1 stars. 2-4 star reviews seem more honest/truthful.

Craig's bike also has settings for top speed that weren't modified. You can do that by pressing the two arrow keys and pressing the m key until you hit p14 and set it to about 30-35 amps.

DIY kits is the way to go. I took a pink razor pocket mod scooter and put a eBay 1800w motor kit and a 48v 20ah battery in it. Does 30mph, wheelies, 40 miles of range, and cost me about $600. And it looks completely stock

Craig whiskey throttled that bike on the couch.🤣🤣🤣🤣 damn that was hilarious.

Sean your fork is facing in the wrong direction 🤣 Edit: I see you found it out by yourself Craig you need a torquearm!

As an ebike mechanic I found this very entertaining!!! For what it's worth most ebikes use bofeng motors with different branding on them. Awesome vid guys!!!

Well THAT was fun! Cyrusher bikes usually turn out ok, but apparently support is not the best. The kit bike ran pretty well, but direct drive will be slower off the line than a 5x gear reduction motor if power levels are similar. A friend of mine has a 3T direct drive motor from an Onyx on his custom bike, and it will pull the front wheel off the ground at 30mph! Craig's battery is a Unit Pack Power, which is a good company. Three of my seven batteries are from them, and they all perform well. You can 3D print battery brackets that are surprisingly strong. Thanks for the video!

this one just struck me as really funny. I was laughing out loud . Craig is such a goos sport 🙂

Love these Amazon buy vids!! Thass some awesome "Tour Duh Perrnnsylvania" action!! Craig squawnched way down to get aerodynamic on the downhill run like he was goin' for the downhill speed record, down that volcano shown on ESPN8 "The Ocho". AWESOME!! 👍

Craig has a great sense of humor, and superior mechanical ability. He may have lost but not by much. :)

Yeah I used the same kit for my first emtb and it was pretty great. I was able to go 30mph basically all the time. Only complaint I had was the weak connectors and the lack of torque. But overall it was a great entrance to e-bikes and in all costed me about $600 to build the bike (I used a cheap $98 steel Walmart bike)

I love these cheapest and most expensive on Amazon videos that you guys make, Keep it up brother and God bless you!

As always, love your videos!! Especially the comparison ones!

(07:45) By design, the "suspension" is supposed to be mostly left up to the fat tires. Think what it would be like with street tires! (note: fat tires also don't fit in most city bus bike racks so mixed-mode trips (bikes + buses/trains) are out)

Craig is such a great sport with these videos. Well done once again.

Craig is such a great addition to the channel!

Sean teaches Craig about electricity. Never thought I would have seen that. 😁

4:51 This is why I don't buy those e-bike kits anymore lol. "It's always something." I bought 3 kits they all died within 1 week or 6 months. I bought a RadPower RadRover and it lasted 2 years before the LCD panel died, preventing the bike from turning on. Which might have been an easy fix if I could have figured out how to isolate the problem. Instead it took a total of 2 MONTHS to fix the issue, because every new part takes about 2 weeks to ship. Really bad. It's over a week for them to even get to your order because they just sit in queue with nobody working on it, or they only process and ship in batches once a week rather than individual orders.

That was a great video lots of fun and a good review. I bought my bike on Amazon in February 2022. I tell you is very disappointing at first I had to upgrade just about everything except for the motor controller and battery. The brakes would not stop you they were dangerously weak. I got no support at all from the manufacturer.I did this to save money but you know the saying you get what you pay for. It is now a good bike but it’s because I was willing to upgrade it customize it to my specifications. I’m also a mechanic so it was no problem installing gutter and proper equipment. If I had to do it all over again I would go to a bike shop, where I would get support if needed.

Please come do a challenge in the UK. I don't know what but just do it I guess? 🤷

Awesome episode today.. Hope you'll make more adventure oriented episodes soon coz we all love adventure. Nice time ™️

I have the same Voilamart motor. Literally can not live without it. I have the 48V 1000W model that gets me a tops of 32MPH on flat road. I have never peddled it. It has never failed to get me where I need to go and back. I'd say it's the best thing I ever bought. I can weigh my bike down with easily an extra 50 or 60 pounds and it does not struggle hauling me, the cheap heavy battery I got for it and the extra weight. I spent about $450 on it, the battery and a cheap bike to put it on. The only advantage the other bike had was with the fat tires.

10:19 From my experience, the readout on the battery level is always inaccurate. My old battery for 2 years still reads 1 red bar but the LCD control panel on the bike shows it's fully charged, and I can get to work and back home no problem, so the LCD is not wrong either.

Craig is amazing , and such a good sport !

1 minute into the challenge Sean is talking to the camera about NINJAS & Craig is quietly inventorying his parts.

lol, Craig looked so natural slinking that blue number. Always smiling.

Stoked on this video, a lot of us have crossed over to Mountain bikes from motorcycles for our "health" and the new e-bikes are amazing!

This challenge is a challenging challenge that challenges these challengers

Voilamart kits are great! I made a 1000 watt system that went almost 30 mph, and I logged in at 1000 miles of use with no problems. You do need to be a bicycle mechanic to adapt this set

Craig finally gets to wear the weekend clothes to work!!! Good for you buddy👍 Seriously great video.

I bought that cheap electric bike kit off of eBay in 2020, under 500 bucks for the kit and a battery and I was going 40mph without pedaling. I later put it onto a downhill mountain bike frame and now I have a sweet little off-road bike

Make those look like actual motorcycles and go to one of motorcycle fans meetings. Amount of laugh should be huge :D

I love how Sean has the dedicated monitor just for all his desktop files 😄

actually own the kit craig got lol (if its the 48v 1000w version) the power modes are only for the pedal assist and would get up to 35mph when pedaling hard, got it like two years ago for $300 controller+hub and $250 for the battery on amazon

You guys are nuts and a ton of fun to watch. Keep up the goofy work.

As a bicycle tech it is so funny to watch these guys put their bicycles together

The look that girl face Craig was priceless! She looked down and probably thought you were an insane homeless guy lol

The newspaper delivery part of the video was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh guys

Love all your Videos. I never even thought about having an electric bike before watching your Zero Video. I bought a Zero SR/S Premium and love it. I'm always looking for a reason to ride it. I ride it to and from work every day now. Fast! Fast! Fast! It Boogies.

This is some class quality content

I'm a semi daily Ebike commuter and i got a radrover 5. It's a good daily rider and unless it's snowing i dont mind the weather either. I can take dirt trails to and from work so I avoid traffic and when i do interact with it i can filter through the shoulder of the road. All in all if you have the ability to try it you should. Even if its just a few weeks of the year it's saved me 100s on gas while still getting me to work just as fast as a car when you count traffic For what he paid for the 1700 bike off Amazon he could have spent 300 more and got a radpower bike or an aventon or any good brand of bike. I like all E bikes just a point to hand out that a little more would've given you alot more

I bought a Voilamart ebike kit just before the Pandemic, 2.5 years later and thousands of miles later it's still going strong. I did splash out on a decent battery with Samsung cells, for the money they're pretty good tbh.

Hmm, an episode full of chuckles, who knew!?! Lol! Thanx, I was truly entertained...!

I really like the idea of a fat tyre bike as ONE of my bikes, but not if it is my only option. Around my area they would be fantastic for the mixed conditions. I am so envious of the options you get in America. Here the power and type limitations make most of this impossible. We need more up to date regulations for E-bikes.

Fun video! Sean, have you tried the battery check button when the battery switch is on? Mine will only read that way. Interesting to see you both take the opposite approach to riding electric bikes.

I like AWinternational, bought 3 kits from them and love each one. Voilamart i didn't like the wire choices, sent it back. As for the review on voilamarts brakes, 6 bolts hold them down. Just switch the sides. The reading on the battery only works when the battery is powered on. This is a great video to show cyrusher guy doesn't know what hes doing at all. But we all start somewhere.

I have used dozens of the Voila Mart conversion kits and was surprised the see him lose at the drag race I got a top speed between 30 to 40 mph with most builds depending on the battery used, and I was wondering did you disconnect the 750w blue wire ? doing so makes the kit run at 1000w and much faster. I found for the money you can build a great Ebike for less than $800 using their kit and a bike you have already But the heart of the build is your battery if he had used a Hailong 48v 20ah 1600w Panasonic triangle battery, the other fellow would had been in the dress.

I have put around 4000 miles on my volimart 1000w kit. Pretty reliable apart from the freewheel

No, you bought an expensive Ebike COMPLETE and a cheap Ebike KIT. Your title is wrong.

I have a £5k Frey ex ( bang ultra mud drive) and £300 kit on a old dual suspension mtb. The 5k bike is better especially proper off road But the cheap conversion is really good on light trails and normal riding. Gotta just buy what you can afford and makes you happy. Having used both extensively I like the 5k one better but I still enjoy cheap one ( it's actually faster on a longer ride because no messing changing gears so smoothly and quickly get up to speed ). I could sell second bike but it cost so little anyway that I keep it and let mates use it to come for a ride with me if they want. But I would not keep an extra 5k bike to lend out ..

Sean: I don't think this helmet can protect me. Also Sean: let's see how fast I can go

Saying that you don't need a license for an e-bike is not always correct. To not need a license for one you have to make sure it fits in the legal guidelines for a class 2 e-bike, then within local laws. Like where I am its 750w and 20mph max to be legal without one. Were also allowed a throttle here, but a lot of places won't allow this.

This video showed up on recommended and I watched it, enjoyed it, freaked out when I saw you on granite run drive, then watched you ride past my house LOL!

I like it when you do this cheap versus expensive stuff.

Since I am a local to these guys, the videos crack me up. Knowing exactly where that Chic Fil a is, I'd laugh if I saw Craig drive up in a bike wearing that. I would never ride my bike on Fruitville Pike!

Craig, you should put some gears on the back wheel with the rear derailleur it will save your back wheel in the long run most of those rear end motorized come with a set of gears on them so you can still change like the bicycle and still have the back wheel

4:51 the way he said what up Craig was like. I was watching Friday after the next Craig and day-day . Good movie.

Thanks for the smiles. I seriously needed that

Nobody noticed that kp mini 150 racing bike in the background lol 😂 I have the blue one I’ll have this bike forever that’s all i can say lol 😂

With the battery you have to have the key turned on the lock like you would on the bike to see the amount of charge.

I have Schwinn connection that is just killer. Put a conversion kit on it and it really made up for these unbelievable steep hills here in Jefferson ga

Here in Singapore we’re stuck with 250w motors and a top speed of 25km/h. Not allowed to modify anything at all without getting a stern warning or a US$225 fine per category of modification.

Overall performance was pretty similar between the two. Try the most expensive pre-built vs the most expensive DIY/individual components. A 72v DIY e-bike will smoke anything off the shelf.

*Everything you said about being a paperboy is wrong, and it’s the worst job ever. You do have a boss. You can’t work whenever you want, papers must be delivered by 6am. There’s no bikes all car. You must work every day, you can’t call out. You have to pick up papers by 3-4 am. You make anywhere from 130-250 a week depending on how many papers you have( literally like $7 an hour). You do get tips added onto that but only like 15% of people do that. And unless you are in a rich neighborhood your only getting $1-$4 a month per house that tips. If someone calls in and says their paper was late or not delivered you get docked $1-$2.50. And worst part is they take out no taxes because your an independent contractor. So come tax time you have to pay $1500-2000 per route. And some papers (like the one I worked at) you have to deliver to their doorstep. So every house you have to get out and run (walking will make you late) up to the house and back. So your spending 1-2 hours running every night, plus however long your driving. There is only one reason you should ever take this job. And that’s Christmas tips. You can get $800->$2000 in tips. Pick up a route in November (there are literally always routes open) around thanksgiving you put bulk Christmas postcards in with the paper with printed out little thank you messages and your name and address on it. Then checks just start pouring in. But don’t do it unless you get a rich town. Otherwise tips included your making 13 an hour.)*

I've had to get more stitches from my paper route, than any other job I've had. Including 4 years of landscaping. I jumped every ditch and curb I saw, while carrying 30 pounds of newspapers.

Just found you guys love the videos! Did I hear you right in Lancaster county?! I'm local!!!! Crazy!!!!

I love how he just put on the shocks completely backwards

Craig bike would be faster you have to go into sw900 parameters and adjust top speed , you can change many things there the kph to mph, Look up sw900 settings on KZfaq

I had a voilamart 500w setup a few years ago setup to a 72v200amp sabvoton controller running it at like 4kw for about a year. Finally fried the halls at 450a phasem, motor was borderline on fire you coulda cooked a steak on it.. Was actually a halfway decent motor. Now I have a 2kw qsmotor that I regularly pull 8kw through and it never even gets hot.

Fun vid, and I love the paperboy clip from John Cusack's Better Off Dead. Great 80's flick. BTW Sean... I WANT MY 2 DOLLARS!!!!

Bicycle helmets are rated at max 20mph, if I recall correctly.

For a person who is seriously overweight an electric bike can be their best option to start exercising. Rider still gets about 60% of the exercise of a regular bike. You can buy a Radrover for the same $. They are located in Seattle, have thousands of bike sales and honor their warranty. Also, Craigs motor is only On/off. No gearing whatsoever. The other is a Geared Hub. Way more torque.

I assume that charger is a standard 2 Ampere charger so that battery need at least 6 hours to charge up from zero to 100!

The littering at the end was hilarious 😂

What was unfair was one guy's bike came in box, while the other guy's was just parts he had to put on a bike. It would have been more fair for both to have either full bikes or just kits.

As a bike mechanic, you two are lucky to be alive after riding those piles!!! 😆 ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

Never witnessed someone wage war against a bike before while chillaxin on a couch.. tough to watch Great video 👍🏻

This was such a fun video to watch after searching for e-bikes! And by chance they live in Lancaster as well! Fun video guys! You should have down a downtown challenge as well!

So let’s get this straight.. expensive means your have to cut zip ties and cheap means you have to clip zip ties 😮😂

"aww....... G dang it" I love that I'm totally using that 😂

Great video guys, keep 'em coming!

Another great video! Thanks Sean and Craig

I love you guys. You all sriously bring such a smile and positive boost to my day EVERY morning you post a video for us all. Thanks. P.S. Craig was killin it in the Chick Fillet drive thru line with those curves he was rockin in that sexy dress! LOL

The motor on Craig's bike can do more with a more powerful controller. I pushed almost 5kw out of a 1500w motor. It would wheelie out the hole everytime. Didn't burn it, the coils inside were brand new, but spokes broke all the time.

Y'all are hilarious! You've earned my subscription 🤟

The level or pedal assist 1-5 only applies to peddling. The throttle will always give you full power on any e-bike I’ve ridden.

I have the cheapest one, i use it to commute to work all the time its great

I've had my bike since 2014/5, when i started watching this video i went and just checked the milage on the clock, i have done 4448 miles on it.. its on its second battery, 4th set of tires, 3rd set of brake pads, i've changed some cables over time but it's still going good. my brother has the voilamart kit and a bafang as well. mine only does about 25mph max.

I could not stop laughing during the paper route. Great content guys!

I love Craig's voice in the drive through!!

Just a little bit of "trivia" here: The latest Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that was passed, which included tax rebates for electric vehicles, did not include the E-BIKE Act. 😞 Which would have given people a 30% tax rebate on an e-bike purchase. That means you would actually be given $600 for a $2000 e-bike purchase. It was a missed opportunity to significantly advance the "Green agenda" by tapping into the poor and lower class demographic in trading in their cars for an e-bike. Not to mention it would have strengthened our aluminum industry, which is now firing tons of people due to recession...

For their next challenge, Sean and Craig have a hunting challenge. Sean will be using the newest shotgun from Browning and to even things up, Craig gets 3 time tested weapons; a rock, a string, and a stick.

I'm not motorcycle guy...but you are entertaining 👍. Thanks for the great videos

The Voltamart kit is a good kit ive use in a few build, people that complane dont know how to install correctly or dont read what is bought. And creigs got a sw900 display and yes you can change mph to kmph

love how they didnt notice craigs bike went 52kmh which is 32mph
