Ive put 45 amps into that geared fathub, you just have to take out the connector, it will melt. Seriously improves the climbing ability.

Totally agree with you, using Pedal assist makes E-Biking a more fulfilling & enjoyable ride. A sense of accomplishment on a longer/harder journey. You built yourself a "True Ebike" in my opinion. Note - A minimum of 1,000w motor I think is required for serious off-road. I'm working on a 20S/1P 31Ah (Around 66V) LifePo4 A123 pouch cell build on version 2 of my EEB (BBSHD) build with new ASI BAC 855 controller. Will post an upload once built & tested. Awesome build & upload. 😊👍👌Cheers 🍻

That looked great fun, I've got a voilamart rear wheel with the controller build in the wheel 48v 1500w with the sw900 display. Could do with a bigger voltage battery but I don't think it would take it.(new to ebikes & haven't got a clue) wish I'd got 1 of your kits but we all learn by our mistakes. Keep up the amazing content

Those Inbuilt controllers are really not good, they fail rather easily so bare that in mind. I Had 3 of those hub motors from Voilamart and each one failed with the same exact issue which was a communication problem between the controller and motor. As for voltage yes they will allow you to run a higher voltage. I successfully tested a 72V pack and it handled the power fine not so sure about the long term judging by the gauging of the wires.

Good watch Andy, can you do your favourite ebike or top three

Thank you. Which one is superior the Cobra or the Ranger, please?

Give it the full andy kirby and put a grin phaserunner controller and crank it up to 4kw

I've got a fat tire cafe racer style bike with 52v and a 21amp battery a bafang 1000w bbshd mid-drive and it's as stock I don't think it needs a fase runner it gets up most hills without much effort Andy but when you add more power you have to get a bigger battery 🔋 😀

Great content and narration, have subscribed to get more

It took me 2-3 rewind to actually see what might happened. First i thought you broken thorough the fence.... the "head down" was a hit that I must re watch this.

I am 165 cm (5'5") and this bike would be too tall for me, but I really like it. Do you think that by sawing off the saddle tube and replacing the handlebar stem with a shorter one, I could use it comfortably? With the saddle at a minimum, how many centimeters are there between the seat of the tube in the bike frame and the point where the saddle would rest if the tube was shorter? I need it to figure out how many centimeters I can make up by sawing the tube. Thank you very much.

here's a really cheap mod, raise your saddle to where your legs are just off straight.

Really fancy one of these

Can you tell me what the name of the adapter you used on this upgrade? I want to make sure that I have the right one. Much appreciated. From over the Pond in Montana.

How difficult would it be to power a bike with an LG direct drive brushless motor,if possible? Love your shows but I've not came across anythink on the lines and would like to start a project. Thanks fran

Biggest thing I hate about that ebike Andy is the proprietary battery, motor and controller. Mostly the battery is the problem with unknown cell quality and how long it will last and then pay twice as much for the same Amp-hr as in the aftermarket. You know your way around that stuff but even a challenge for a man of your technical capability and why I never would buy an ebike like that. Always prefer a large generic battery with BBSHD on an XL frame like you have built in the past. That bike looks nice while it lasts tho and then you have to overpay to replace parts because they aren't generic and ubiquitous. Honorable mention for that Mustang 5.0 you show in the background of your video. Didn't think that existed in the UK. Btw, I grew up not too far from Dearborn, MI, the home of Henry Ford and worked as an automotive engineer. My friends and I grew up modifying Mustangs and Camaros and other muscle cars. I am older than you and grew up when the first examples of these came into being. You no doubt know who Carrol Shelby is. Cheers from America.

great vid as usual. What did you mean by putting slime in the tyres? I have not heard of that before.

That wood is probably used by bikes....dirt bikes. I watch a lot of these videos where bikers are making jumps and rides through woods and forests. All good fun.

Hello Andy. I also bought the Curusher Ranger. I have a little back pain problem with the bike due to my size (6ft4). Do you think i could change the handlebar height to ride more straight. If yes, which handle bar raiser would you recommend?

Wonderful work 👍👍

Completly agree feeling of synergy is much better than spinning. I think it makes you ride better too you can feel what's going on with the bike. Set your bike to 90% of your top end speed without the motor, tweak the amps and kickin to get rid of the boring stuff which is basically getting up to your top end.

Looks tempting..

Wish you could get your hands on a Soul beach cruiser from the U.S, they now have a new euro importer in Spain and they send anywhere in Europe, they look great and have. A KZread channel, they look like massive Grifters, proper bling and more comfy if you prefer higher wider bars and comfy seats, have a look Andy.

Are you going to put throttle on it? If so will you try to get past the newer 20MPH on throttle most new bikes are coming with. My ebike is a later 2019 early 2020 Himiway All Terrain that has none of those limits. It has full throttle at any PAS from 1-9 and no speed limit at full throttle does 30-31 MPH on flat ground. Thats the way they all should be IMHO.

What erks me with that bike is that they've gone full downhill style on the bike with the 201mm forks but put sand tires on it. xD But in reality if you did take it down the downhill trails it would be really crap, i mean technical trails it could possibly do, but anything flow you'd be in that dangerous position to come off and whack your nuts against a tree. I mean i've seen E-bikes at the bike parks, but none with stupidly fat tires.

Why have you put modifications. It's just one mod. Singular 🤷

Not really modified it just replace the breaks rotor

Wow.. Next you will upgrade the sticker. . . .Lame

you should have put the bigger brake disc to the rear primarily or both !
