Came out good, thanks 😊

Choose 250w, 500w or 1500w first. Select your wheel size and upgrades of needed! Easy 😉

@@DudeStuff thank you, I’ll take another look, appreciate the reply

@@DudeStuff when the kit comes is it easy to fit? I am also an e bike noob 😔

Thanks yeah I don't mind doing another drone video soon 😊

Drone video uploading it's gonna be controversial as always 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

I think too!

Nope. But it will be faster.

did same thing burnt out the clutch inside the hub. dont do it. lol.

I highly doubt anytime needs to do 45 on a mountain bike 🤷🏼‍♂️, the 2000w Andy Kirby kits will do around 37 on the flat throttle only

@@DudeStuff cheers will take a look now, I love speed lol

@@grahamgeorge1130 you'll need 60v to get 45mph but I really would not recommend that on a mountain bike conversion, because the stresses on cornering alone at that speed are beyond what mtb's are built for. I had a carerra that I converted to 52v @ 30amps and nearly killed myself leaning on a turn. If you want to go over 40 get full suspension, strong disc brakes and tyres that can handle the extra lean you'll use on corners. Hope your build goes well and you get what you want. ll the best.

New to all this, but from my understanding a MTB conversion shouldn't really go that fast due to strain on the bike, anymore than that you should be looking at full suspension ebike, something like a Talaria, Sur-Ron, or build/buy an Enduro frame or stealth bomber ebike.

Check my video for top speed 2000w on my channel

Upto around 37mph top speed on flat ground. Range anything from 25-50 miles depending on the weather, if a lot of hills, your weight and if you use the battery heavily or not

Check my channel dude

Thanks man

Standard controller mate kit from kirbebike.com

Dont put the speed-limit wire in

Or change the wheel size in the sttings.

He always does that when riding on the roads as it's not technically legal on UK public roads over 15.5mph. But this kit will get upto 37-38mph on flat ground

kirbebike.com/diy-conversion-kits/kirbebike-1500w-2000w-ebike-kit-inc-ion-plus-58v-17ah-battery-detail.html

With the mtx wheel upgrade

@@DudeStuff So is 17Ah the maximum capacity of the battery?

Check your spokes mate if you haven't already 7 months on, all that torque is bound to have affected stress on the balance of your wheel

Keep spokes Tight

@@rogereheadbyrne4790 need at least a 2.3 tyre to protect wheel and soak up torque /twist motion

Hadleigh Essex

Definitely DD motor. There aren't many geared 2000w hubs. They'd burn out under load.

So many factors, depends on your weight, how fast you go, wind, hills, if you peddle, what assist level, if it's cold etc

Approx 1 mile per amp hour

@@DudeStuff A good guide is approx 1 mile per amp hour range, that's not doing slow, on a hot day, in England these ebikes hate cold, best warming battery in house if going out in winter, then wrap battery in thick wool scarf 🧣

Fear is justified when the chain snaps under 160nm of torque. Mid drive is all well and good, but it has a single point of failure. Hub has redundancy. And with 2000w it about matches the bbsh2 mostly (does drain more power, true). I've got both hub and mid ebikes now. I use mid for casual riding, but for day-to-day delivery job when I have to ride for 8 hours all over the city, I need something simple and reliable. Hub drive is it. I don't want to think about the chain and gears, while having a 100 other things on my mind.

Nope, never had any issues with rain yet, works better I've seen probably 30+ controllers melt and overheat in bags when people don't keep an eye on temperatures

Do you keep the battery on to charge then?

@@dmfman123 I do yeah I keep bikes indoors to charge but you could just replace the adhesive tape with adhesive velcro if you needed to take it off

@@DudeStuff ok cheers for info

@@DudeStuff nice one👍🏻

Post link to your kit mate

@@crf250rider9 kirkebike 1500w, Andy kirby on KZfaq, its on a trek bike. Thats the kit I bought £850 with the battery.

@@MrX-kc4bj ive just received my kit motor arrived last week battery arrived today and yes its all completed now i will do the test tonight 😂🤨

Hi how heavy is the kit

i was wondering same thing about battery. i swear my 2kw motor at 52v lifepo4 fat tire. does better at hills than this.

Got to factor in this guy is pretty big and muscly, he wouldn't be light... Maybe different for average weight guy. I just order the same kit and im 105kg so i am not expecting peak performance up hills HAHA @@devlin2011

Volts gives speed, you want Amps for torque....

It's not actually 2kw its 1500w so 52v is fine

Depends which pedal assist setting you use or if you use throttle only. But expect 25 miles or so just using throttle.

37mph on flat ground no pedaling

@@DudeStuff thanks! 😊

Very true

Did he not have it in the right gear for hill climbing?

Watch my next video on my Channel will be up tomorrow

I have a 72v on my 2000w and I feel if your gonna do a video like this, you should be properly powered....YOUR 20O0W MOTOR IS UNDER POWERED

@@Abaddon3x7 it was a hub motor so it’s geared internally

Hi mate, no pc need you can change mph/kmh, wheel size in the settings and it's ready to go, good luck

Get one mate you will not regret it. You can change lots of settings on those screens to suit your needs. There are videos going into detail of how to do it and it's very easy. I've made a ebike one week ago and it's so good. Already done 80miles on it. Fell off once and smashed my eye up tho. Got three stitched in the wound lol. They can be dangerous so wear a helmet if you get one

With so many different riding conditions it’s good rule of thumb to routinely check and tighten your spokes. Very easy to do yourself. Tool is a couple of dollars. As far as the battery if unable to mount on frame like u say then have some type of secure cushiony mount. IMO batteries life might be shortened with all the shock from the bumps if mounted on rack. Welds can be broken. The perfect place is in the triangle but we work with what we have.

@@truckdedriver9193 Could you send a link to an example of "secure cushiony mount" :)

I think your controller hold this bike back

52v 17.5a bike, any ebike can perform better with an upgraded controller but you're adding £300+ to the build and this goes quick enough for most people. I have upgraded controllers on 2 other ebikes but they cost a lot extra

12v 2ah 6amp Slower then a 🐌.LOL

I have a 2000w 52v 20ah 50bms it goes 49, 52 mph

Watch my diy guide video will probably answer a lot of your questions about fitment

@@DudeStuff thanks mate ill check it out. Just wondered as the cassette side has weird bolt on drop outs. 👍🏻

Yes, I've fitted one on my cube Ltd sl 29er, Google kirbebike cube and you'll see my pics on the net.

@@jasonlocke367 hi mate. I found your post and replied/asked a few questions on there.

The kits fit on anything really. If you have some sort of knowledge on bikes you'll be able to figure it out. Recently made my own ebike. 35mph max so far. Voilmart 1500watt rear hub with controller built into the hub with a 19ah 52v Panasonic battery. Thing is dangerous but fun. Get a kit and you won't regret it mate.

Some yeah usually got 1 for sale

@@DudeStuff I've just lost my licence so I'm in process of selling my car and am going to be in desperate need for one that can take me as far reasonably fast for less than 2k 😅 what do you think the odds are

@@zulvalor7266 to have for sale check my latest videos

What? It clearly says 15.5 mph throughout the entire ride 🙃

@@matthew3774 oh yeah sorry I forgot to put my glasses on 😆

He said what it was in the video.

There's no scam Lauren I get most of my kits from them with exactly the same process people get dramatic on reviews

Where does he ship from then the uk?

Because in the UK we have too many snow flakes

@@DudeStuff um

I bet its fast in near 40 or 50

You wouldn't fly up these hills with no run up on 250w they are huge hills and long. Not without peddling hard, I wasn't hardly peddling

I don't have an email address for KZfaq, who did you email?

Agreed, people doing that shit on video only stands give all us safe riders more bull sht restrictions

Congratulations.

@@Pupenhausen thankyou

😂

uhh... okay.

What set up do you have? I want something that’s going to do about 40/45mph any recommendations

It's a direct-drive hub motor. What did you expect? And he didn't give the hill ANY run-up at all (if he had a running start, I guarantee you that thing would have shot up that hill). Frankly for a DD hub, it did well. Those things are NOT meant for hillclimbing from standstill, but high speeds on the flat. Mid-drive is for hillclimbing. For a DD hub to climb, you need to pedal a bit to get it going first.

@@necroticavalon5176 Wow, almost a year later to respond..what did I expect? Torque… I expect torque. Of course by now things may have improved slightly.

@@theunseen8054 Then your expectations were misplaced. You want torque, go mid-drive. I've ridden a Bosch CX ebike that puts this thing to shame on a hill, with only 250w, because it's mid drive and has hillclimb gearing. Or put a 72v battery on that hub. But as it is, it did pretty good, for what it is.
