You should NEVER use that plastic spacer with a disk, its only to be used when no disk is installed (rim brakes) it is to prevent damage to the coating on the hub from the bolts, and to stop the bolts from going too deep in to the hub

What I love about you and Andy Kirby is he's showing from a professionals point of view and your showing from a diy'ers perspective best combo

Hey Steve I never heard of Kirby build kits so far what I seen are the best conversion kits that I've seen so far I'd sure like to try one out one day you're doing a great job Steve keep it on

Nice to see someone fitting the torque washers correctly on the inside, just file a little off the front side of the dropout then it'll fit in without a hammer 🔨 😉 , it needs to come out easily at the side of the road incase you get a puncture .

is this right now the best choise to buy?i found it on their homepage the kit for my 29 costs 992 euro.
I have zero knowledge are there other better alternatives?Money is not an issue but maybe getting a new e-bike from a known brand would be better?your idea thanks

Fantastic video, simple explanation. Andys conversion kits are fantastic. I was looking for a kit for my Mate bike, on Aliexpress or Ebay but, Kirby kits are the best with the warranty, great customer service, emails answered straight away by Jason Wang, thanks a lot.
Going to buy fat tire 20 inch kit next month pay day. Can't wait. All the best to all of you.

13:41 great to see an mt60 connector being used for the phase wires. I would for sure advertise that as a feature over the standard connector block used on cheaper direct drive motor kits, which tends to not be great long term. plus you have a quick and easy quick disconnect.

Looking to make my own ebike. This helps a lot. Got a factory ebike at the moment for food deliveries. Thanks for the video mate.

I have a trek marlin 5 gen 3 29in and my frame does not have that’s big place to put the wheel it’s just a circle can anyone help? Would it still work?

[timhigton]

What a perfectionist, I would love to have a bike like this it's so nice... what a cool guy as well.

A generally good guide. I did a Yose Power 350w conversion on a Scott Sportster hybrid bike. That has an integrated controller in the battery mount which looks a lot cleaner. I’m guessing it’s not possible to do that with higher wattage conversions because the controller needs to be bigger to cope with the extra load? I did fit the triangular bag anyway. Excellent for a puncture repair kit, a few tools and a mini air compressor for roadside puncture fixes. I personally fitted the cadence sensor to get some exercise and extend the range. Probably less likely to attract attention from the plod if you’re pedalling a bit. I didn’t do the brake cut outs though for similar reasons and because my gear shift and brake levers are integrated. Thumb throttle is useful for getting away if you stop in too high a gear and ….15mph looks like warp speed😂

[JSStuart]

Thanks man pretty cool of you to put that together. Good video. Thanks from Destin Florida.

[igortodorovic]

Dude this video is awesome !!! Thank you I needed this exactly ! Wish I won the bike as well haha. Cheers

[dinislam]

What display is that? The one that comes with the current kit is not just a color LCD and not a full-color TFT like the one you have there. BTW thanks for the discount code 🙂

[pieceworkstudios]

Great info. I did a DIY conversation to an old junk bike and love it. I'm with you on the PAS and at first I disconnected it but later I wired a couple of micro switches so I can switch on the speed limiter and turn on the PAS and it's just right when I want to get more exercise and pedal at a comfortable speed of about 12mph, or I can turn off the limiter and the PAS for just tooling around town on it doing errands. Mine is a front wheel hub so a little nose heavy 🙄. Next time I'll use a back wheel hub with a cassette like you do 👍. 10ah batt gets me about 16-20 miles if I'm conservative so I have a 20ah coming in the mail to be the main battery, and an A/B switch so I can throw this current one on the back rack and have it as a secondary to run longer trips. Thanks for all your tips though man 😎👍
