sickest ebike build on YT, hands down. i know, ive watched every one worth watching. im almost sad to see this series end, but i cant wait to see what you do next! 60 MPH is perfect. i have noticed that speed has somehow become the metric we judge ebikes by, but i find many faults in that. comfort, aesthetics, build quality, dependability, range, etc are equally as important.

Thanks so much, it means a lot! 🙏 I can't believe it's over (for now, I probably will do even more things later on though 😂) I think 60MPH is way more than I will ever need for just having fun, and I fully agree there are so many other things to like about bikes and they all come into play about what makes one great. I think ebikes are best in the range of 25-45MPH really, if you want to go faster there are cheaper and easier methods (solutions that make more sense) for doing so. Thank you!!

Amazing man! I have the same display. As some have suggested, the code 1801 works to allow a top speed change in the menu but it doesn't actually translate into more top speed on the road. It's sort of "ghost governing" a max top speed on us. I found a way around that. Go into your menu and change your wheel size to a much smaller one. It'll spin the wheel at a higher rpm to get the bike up to what it thinks is the same governed speed. I verified this with GPS tonight actually. In my case I have a GT Avalanche hardtail with 3000W, 72V (4500W peak) hub kit. 81lbs. It wasn't letting me go over 80KM/h. -Probably a good thing. I changed my wheel size to a much smaller one and using GPS, got it just over 90 before I chickened out. Obviously the main drawback is your display speedo isn't going to read accurately. Doing 90+ k on a MTB isn't a great time for quick math either. But for a top speed run or highway cruising, it's a workaround... stay safe!

@hightech-lowlife

Thanks so much man!! I appreciate the suggestions truly! I did try this though, my controller firmware actually goes up to 150kph (93mph) in the settings, so I don't believe this is limiting it.

A lot of people don't understand how fast that is on a bike, they just imagine what it's like in a car and think it's the same but it's completely different.

You could easily hit 80 mph by using a lower turn motor but this would reduce your low-end acceleration. The battery and controller are fine but the motor is what is holding you back. You could also use a much lighter motor such as the Qs205 with heat sinks and ferrofluid, i know you are running a lot of power but I have build bikes with twice the power and the Qs205 motor is still running strong. (Btw, I’m sure you already know all about this stuff because you clearly aren’t a newbie)

@hightech-lowlife

This motor is the 3.5T version, so it's already the lowest available which made me wonder why it seems to be limited to 60. Yes, 100% I think the 205 is probably all you need for a build like this, the 273 weighs more but gives you more thermal headroom for tons of power without the need for sinks and fluid 👍

I just had it in my head to have a 70-ish mph bike, so I'll find a way, even if it's only purpose is to understand more. If I don't sell this bike then I will be redoing the front and rear suspension, seat area, and making my own battery (I'll use this current beast of a battery for a different project) - I will bump up the voltage to a 96 or 120v (144v?) system, and try for even more amps, they do make an 1800A controller, but I don't know what kind of a battery I would need to make to utilize that. 👍200A is already way overkill, and admittedly all of this is largely pointless, but usually the best ideas are the dumbest ones.

Thanks so much!! Yes it is quite a relief honestly, but it just means I have another huge project to start on 😂 It's technically still a bicycle so no special laws for it - you just want to ride safely and keep your speed around 20mph if you want to not be hassled. I suspect more and more laws for ebikes coming, most likely they will want people registering them (so they can tax you).

Maybe a small wind screen would add to your top speed. Wind resistance (drag) is a big factor as speed increases.

Thanks man! I'm sure some aero would definitely help, but after a lot of consultation I have found the main issue is just voltage, if I want a higher top speed I will need to switch to 96V or higher. I already have plans and parts on the next build and it is going to blow this one out of the water, which is saying something because this bike is incredibly awesome to ride 👍

Dual controllers and batteries. 60volt batteries, and two Sabvoton SVMC7245 (m) Controllers. I'm not looking for insane speed but dependable reliability. Having two batteries, I will need two charge connectors. As for the display...I just want the option of a display if I decide to go with a display at all. Do you know where I can download the software for my laptop instead of the app for the controllers ? Another thing is how can I contribute financially to what you do.

The bike turned out absolutely amazing. Get us some shot of a night ride with all the LED's. Truthfully. 80mph on 72V? It wont happen. Those guys bare look at their incorrectly calibrated speedometers. Show mt 80MPH on a GPS. You need more voltage. You can go a little faster with a higher current controller and more field weakening. Mine goes 62mph on a 205 V3 with an asi bac 8000. After a certain point you just heading the motor because the windings are saturated. 60ish MPH is right where most of the builds are.

Thanks so much man!! I'll take some night ride shots for you guys 👍 I was hoping for 67mph, shouldn't be impossible to hit but also might not be worth it because 99.9% of the time I won't ever be going full speed. That's also what I don't trust - a lot of people will claim crazy speeds but without GPS proof it's impossible to really know. I may end up further improving this bike in the future, and in will go a 600A (or 800A) controller and obviously I'll need an even more powerful battery 👍 It's weird because I hit 54mph with my 205 (50A bms on the battery) and this is only 6mph faster, but it's a crazy amount of more power (200A) compared, that's why I felt like my 67 goal was not too far off, it's still possible there is a setting that is holding me back. I did experiment with field weakening, I tried 25A, 50A and even 150A and there was no difference in top speed, and that also leads me to believe that I'm not hitting the limit to where FW would come into play. I'm going to look into adjusting my throttle endpoints, it's possible my "full throttle" is only 95 or 90% of what is available. I'm completely happy with 60MPH don't get me wrong, it's more of just curiosity now that has me attempting to figure it out, it's totally possible that this is just the limit though.
