I love that us, savvy seniors are getting healthier every day on these amazing machines. Have a 3000w hub coming in a few days. Woohoo! Btw, Horrible feeling when your e-bike stops running far from home. At least you can limp home. Lol. Been there, done that Good luck friend 🤞🏽

My latest powerful bike is literally a pocket rocket! In essence a cheap 20'' argos folding bike, but fitted with a bonkers 1500w/52v20amp rear wheel conversion kit it does 45 mph and hauls ass up hills! Cost just £800 for the complete kit

Police like e-bikes too. They’re not worried. They may stop you just to check it out but they’ll never impound it. Just show them the 250w sticker and that will suffice.

You get a Sympathy Like from me, mate. Most ebikers with "enhanced" systems have or will have problems at some point, it's part of the fun and for me at least, trial and error are a big part of the learning curve.

Looks great 😊

Same everywhere. Glue holding the magnets let's go when hot, run on stater. Fix fast. Or Alot more damage to bearings.

This is soooo dope man I hope you can figure it out because this is the best Engwe M20 I’ve seen yet😎Hope you can get it together dude and stay safe out there on your rides my guy🤟✌️

Looks awesome mate!!

It looks spot on. I’ve been wanting to build my own bike for a about 6 months but the only mid drive i can get my hands on is a BBSHD 1000W.

Troubles aside that is a fantastic looking bike. 🙂🙂

Mr. Butties, I installed a 210mm rear coil dnm shock and not only did it make the ride so much better it also raised the seat a little bit. Longer rear shocks are possible to install on this bike

Thats a shame about the CYC, please keep us updated on how CYC handles this.

This is exactly what I'm planning for my YYG Br100. Hopefully that battery fits ! I like the look

great video... wow 1k thats alot

I run the same set up on a Juiced City Scrambler. Stock 750w geared hub with separate controller,throttle,batteries,display. I also run a BBSHD with asi controller that pushes over 3000w with separate battery, display and throttle all running on 52V. BBSHD is whisper quiet and pulls like a son of a bitch.

It looks great

Just received my motor’ and was looking forward to fitting probably next week when my battery arrives’’ really hope mine doesn’t have any faults’’ hope you can fix your cyc without to many problems 🤞

I've got one of these (unmodded), It looks like The Fonz bike :) Bummer about the motor. I think you're right, "sounds like bearings" was the first thing I thought when I heard it. Good luck, hope they honor the warantee!

if I remember, their was a common issue with one of the gears within or just outside of the motor that was changed from the model 2 to this newer version which had a stronger gear to try and prevent this from happening.

i bought couple bike shengmilo mx21 500watt love the bike ride really nice, but my best bike which covers everything i need speed n power GUNAI X20 Electric Bike Off Road 48v 2000 Watt Fat Bike, she does 35,5 mph and range 40 to 60 miles which i love , love ya vid BaconButties be safe

Man that looks cool as balls I really like it nice one mate 🚵👍

Thanks for video! Hello from 🇱🇹 Lithuania!

Looks good bro

Looks cool...love the channel ❤👍🚲🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

That"s a shame butt hope you get it sorted keep up with the great content.

keep us posted on the motor good video 😁

That jst absolutely gutting when your bike build has issues, hope you get it sorted mete

LIKE from BROOKLYN NY

Love the build and the power/torque it gave you going up that hill was impressive...shame the CYC motor gave up but hopefully the warranty will cover that.🤞 When you factor in the price of the CYC motor with that bike it's still cheaper than most Super 73s. or similar bikes. Any update from CYC ?

Nice vid, good luck with the bike. what mount are you using for the camera facing you sticking up off the handlebars?

Keep us updated. I was about to order this motor before I found open firmware for my BBSHD. Now playing with 60v battery and 33 amps. Love your channel!

Please keep us updated. I was looking to get one of these because i believed they were built tough. From the looks of this video my assumtions were wrong

It's a good looking bike.

Wow. I have the gen 3 with the same battery combo on my mountain bike. Mounting the battery was definitely interesting. There are only 2 holes that align with the triple bob mount, and I completely sheared the first pair of screws I had in there. I ordered some grade 5 titanium screws and added some extra padding around the battery, and that seems to have fixed it. I've taken it close to 200 miles so far without issue, but it definitely seems like yours is toast. I wonder what the motor temp was when it failed. I've gotten mine in the mid 140's (f) but I try not to push it too far. Fastest I've gotten the bike is 49mph so far, running with a 52v 30a/hr battery and 52 tooth inner chain ring. Really hope CYC fixes yours, but I also cringe knowing how long I had to wait just to get 1

It looks awesome mate if i had the money id get the frame and build it to my spec's

Nice setup and a good video. But I thought you should change the rear motor and controller to something like 2-3kW. It would look original and be more quiet. This setup is in my opinion to much stuff that can cause problems

I have a ristretto 303fs with a cyc motor x1 pro gen 2 and never had any issues with it. It might be the extra weight of the hub motor. Hope you get it fixed. I'm thinking on a mid drive on my cargo bike. Not sure on which one still thinking on the cyc motor but with a quick release axle wheel.

was that the first ride?? that's crazy, I can't believe it failed like that, same day of the install. It's the new Gen3 too! WTF! In any case mate thank you for the video and please keep us updated with the warranty claim process. I am interested to hear how CYC handles this!

Hope you get it fixed buddy hopefully it’s nothing to bad

I was looking at buying one of these instead of a Bafang mid drive, but after seeing how unreliable they are, there’s no chance I’ll be buying one, I’ll stick with the befang bbs02, or bbs hd, at least there’s plenty of repair videos on you tube if it goes wrong, and spares are easy to get. Thanks for saving me wasting my money

The Massive Akku looks like a Petroltank.😄 Looks super good, but the Screws are tiny🧐

If I personally ever switch to a throttle, it's all over for me fitness wise! Pedelecs have their place for sure!

I’m new to e bikes just wondering if I wanted to add an additional motor what would be a good option.

Would love an M20 but worried about getting stopped by plod,at the moment i have a fido d2s with 250 watt motor,they need to up the limit of watts & top speed,15mph is a joke.

Please wear some protective gear, Your travelling as fast as a motorcycle. Great video 💪

I wanted to ask if and when you're going to change the rear shock absorber, because this bike is giving me severe back pain and I haven't used it for almost 3 weeks. I have a bad feeling I'll have to resell it or take all the electronics out and get myself a custom bike.

I can't say that i particularly enjoy the look of that battery on top, but it certsinly isn't bad. In fact, it looks like it could come stock on the bike! Too bad about the motor. I hope they cam sort you out.

Hi mr buttie, where did you get the 250w stickers?

Love the vids. Liking the look of it. Defo looks a bit motorbikey... Hopefully doesn't grab the attention of any bored popo

How would the Engwe M20 hold up in the rain etc.... UK weather? I know it says it's IP rated but if it's outside locked up and it rains, would the display, button etc... be ok?

have you managed to get another CYC x1 pro gen 3, or fix it? ive got the same bike same colour , but it bogs down oh even slight hills, this looks ideal, thanks.

Have you links for the 72 v kit please

Greetings from Tucson Arizona ,USA. Turns out to be a expensive paper weight, but is what you experienced unique or common, if the latter the company must be keeping that information from the public.

Hi you make good videos last time I watched a video you didn't have this bike it was a mountain bike with kit on I think it was. Looking at the bike it looks really complacated and compact. I'm 64 yrs old my bike is 2000wat 45amp controller battery 52v19.5amp on stand 52mph of stand 43mph and gas five pas So is that middrive and rear motor so why have two on you would be better up grading motor and controller and battery then you will be set. Yes it's a nice bike what's the model good video as always hope you get sorted

I don’t understand why he would put two electric motors two batteries and two headlights on one bike ? I don’t know why he doesn’t just go for it and put a jet engine on it, I could picture it now Rolf Harris brother going 150mph down the road. But don’t worry he won’t get stopped because he’s got he’s 250watt sticker 😂

That does sound rather bad - What a shame - You've done basically no mileage on that motor so they should sort it out for you. I have the x1 stealth and have put around 600km on it but that took over 2 years due to all sorts of issues - I hope mine doesn't give up the ghost to quickly. I'm procrastinating over the Photon motor High Voltage put out a great review and I'm ready to make the jump to it. So that will be ebike build no.3 which means purchasing yet another new hard tail... glad the prices have started to drop due to overstocking of them in Australia... Anyway I love your video's keep them coming and hope we see and hear you laughing on that ebike soon.

How did you manage to get hold of a cyc x1 pro gen 3. When i contacted them they told me that they don’t ship to the Uk. Thanks

Hi like your video. I've got a problem we'll it's not a problem it's a question my controller is 45amp I'm making a triangle box just a bit bigger. I've cut hall wires so I'm using choc box connection what amps should I use I mean the wires aren't to thick would it be 15amp or 30amp 60amp are to big I've used them in the past for battery live wires to controlleri don't like bullet connectors it's going the proper ones on Amazon so I thought choc box connector the connection are different on hall wires

do you know what happened exactly? i want to order same motor in august and i hope i didn't get any problem at my motor

Hi I've already give comments I'm wondering I've seen 2000wat motor with cooling fan blades stuck on to keep motor cool I've put the equations to Google and some other Web sites came up nothing but I've seen them do you no where to buy thanks

If you got a standard 20 inch rim, without a hub motor weighing it down with that mid drive, I bet it would be a lot more reliable.

I'm surprised you didn't snap the chain. The hub motor or the controller has a speed limiter. So when you reached a certain speed it's like riding with the brakes on. I was thinking that would have happened before I even watched the video. Sorry dude. Hope this don't discourage you. We all learn from are mistakes. Love your videos.

Qs90 is a motor good similar to cyc and can go up to 10kw peak on my system tbqh 3700w @ 48 and 52 volt on the cyc and theres likely to be problems. Dont get their advert

Were you using your high gears when starting from stationary?

Run it again sending you lucky 🍀 charms!

How much does it cost to insure when on the road ?

Great video mate - I've been watching a few recently......... only sort of negative observation is that you're highlighting these 'stickers' - which people will want to use, but if the wrong people are watching - you're pretty much showing them for what they are.............. maybe it's best not to draw attention to these things ? Other than that, great informative videos.

Buy a Bafang BBHSD Ive done 6000 miles on mine trouble free,.

that noise would do my head in. my stock bbshd is silent (though nowhere near as fast!)

It looks like a Moped and is quite possibly very close to being capable of being registered as one.

You ever get it fixed? What was it?

Yikes I have 120 miles on my gen3 x1 pro, I'll be checking in to see how they handle this failure.

wow that was unexpected , may be you got a bad motor ? is this covered by warranty?

It looks like a motorcycle with that big battery.

Hey the bike looks like an ebike even with the extr battery. Maybe order a ebike battery sign for it. Defo washer I not tight somewhere. If visiting Arran hit me up we can go for a ride.

Damnn there expensive ill be pissed thinking to just order a bbshd now

There are few bikes I think look like a motorcycle. Basically ones that are like Sur Ron or onesthe manufacturer make look like a sport bike but let's face those are unlikely to be worth buying.

So whsrbwascwrong regarding that noise and what is top speed. Were you using two motors. I thought this bike came with 750 watch I think you dais 250wat hope you hot that midrive sorted I still think rear hub is better than midrive plus midrive have a reputation of going berzerk good video and the bike looks meaty not sausages more like steak

can you let me know you P setting 1-8 my bike will only get up to 20 mph

This funny Noise is a Nightmare. Suport, Sub and👍

You should be aware of the max load weight of the bike witch includes your body and the extra weight you carry with the extra cells in the pack.

It buy a frame that was ment to say

Hey I have an m20 with an nb power hub motor

Harris does ebikes

U just burned the motor... It was 52v max, so if you drew 35A from this 72v battery, you basically sent 2500W continuous instead of peak. you just had to use a temp sensor to make sure the motor was not overheating.

Hi guys. I bought a Stealth gen1 in 2021 and I can only say that this a piece of crap. I had a lot of problems with bac controller, torque sensor system in bottom bracket failed because of the bad water resistance, glued neodym magnets got loose and caused a crash between rotor and stator a. s. o. When I bought gen1 system, I got just 1year warranty. When now buy gen3, you get 2 years warranty. Sorry, but I feel betrayed. DON'T BUY GEN 3 SYSTEMS (X1 Pro and stealth) BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE YET. Best regards!

Is it allowed in Germany?

I thought Rolf Harris was dead......

you can get cheaper hub motors, just seen the price of that one, well over priced

come on bbttt whats up with motor

It’s motor bike like. But police can’t do anything unless your caught riding dangerously apart from the fact they’re speaking of number plates. But that’ll fail i reckon. Aha

This mod makes no sense to me... Why didn't you just go with a 3kw rear hub motor instead ? Those mid motors are noisy and weak

Great video! I hope you get that CYC motor working, nicely, again! God Bless! 👑 *Remember:* Jesus loved us so much that he died on the cross for all of our sins, He was buried and He rose again, on the third day. If we just *Believe* in His finished work and not our own works (good or bad), we will be saved. His imputed righteousness is bestowed upon the believer. God Bless. ✝️ John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever *Believeth* in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” ✝️Philippians 3:9-12 - and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the *Faith* ✝️1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have *Believed* in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures

You no I've passed comment I find your video interesting and you seem to no alit of knowledge on ebikes. I went the easy way for my age and bought the kit my battery is om back. Didn't like in frame. I no in frame it balance up bike mine on back but its more to the seat. How can I send photos of my bike people always come to me and ask about the bike it's because I've made it different all the lights motor bike mirror. I don't like the the display sw900 that came with 45amp controller can't keep an eye on battery temperature motor temp if anything happens it would be a number would show. I've suscribed to your channel I find you very interesting and also you get on with anything you might think it will work definitely different from other bike videos. You remix f me of Tony from vortech

Wait people build these? It's like the Homermobile of bikes... I am surprised it even worked at all. Maybe try a rear IGH if you want more speed AND torque WITH less weight. If you're worried about chains, spend a few hundred on belt transmission from Gates or Veer. If you're going to spend that cash, why would you chase brute force numbers with a kludge guaranteed to fail instead of performance and elegance? This is exactly like putting two motors in a car with two uncoordinated controllers that don't know what each other's sensors or motors are doing and then stepping on the accelerator and expecting it to perform with the sum of powers on paper when it will do as yours did, eat itself when it encounters the right confluence of events in both controllers that have them conflicting instead of synergizing. I would 100% tell a customer, no matter the subs on YT, to get lost on a warranty claim. A top reason small businesses die is cultivating customers that cost them money instead of make it for them. If I was Engwie and someone tried to warranty claim me when I can watch the video of them clobbering their warranty, I'd just ignore it because I'm in China and that's a terrible customer (we want them to go away). I have talked to Cycmotor a bunch about several projects and they're really agreeable people - I hope their liberal warranty polices don't eventually kill the company. They'll work with pretty much anyone on custom projects, you can get bare motors and integration help from them. Once I finish up some "interface" prototypes (cycloidal gearing, magnetic gearing to allow regen/braking to work properly with a freewheel, expanded drivetrains, etc) they're on the short list of vendors. Grin Tech can probably help you (not an affiliate, they just make open controllers and other hardware for PEV) and they have a LOT of educational videos about PEV tech, builds, custom mods, etc available and are constantly updating with new stuff. They are exclusively hub motor designers/developers at this time, though - but everything of theirs is Canadian designed/built in house. They know what they're doing and they share knowledge freely. I have also talked to them a bunch about several projects (controllers, charging, mag-lock type braking, etc) and they will give you loads of advice on integration with your own builds. But man, this is why I unsubbed before and the algo thought to give you another shot - keep doing you but know that there is guidance out there should you wish to seek it, then your projects will be things people want to build instead of choosing between a mortgage payment and buying another one of what you just destroyed. Please ask Cycmotor for help with integration - they will help you, I am sure, and that's likely why they're even giving you warranty consideration. It's an interesting project, albeit disastrously integrated and configured, and as a disabled person who uses a tadpole to get around instead of wheelchair I am myself working on adding braking and reverse in a couple small front hub motors even though my primary drive system is mid drive(TSDZ2B)/belt transmission/enviolo CVT IGH and super strong it can't do reverse or braking on its own. After a while I got tired of arts and crafts projects and wanted to start building things that Just Work(TM) when I want to use them; the process of driving towards designs that work are what's going to bring in the long-term subs instead of people just wanting some temporary entertainment in the "fails" category (which has already been dominated by several other brands).

this is why e bikes will be banned soon in the UK cos of stupid bikes like this

Hope you can get it replaced, simply not good enough for how much the motor costs. This is why I love direct drive hub motors there isn't really anything that can go wrong with them as no moving parts.

15:05 ouch
