🙌 How to pronounce my name: Chay ➡ Ch(aye)

This is pretty decent overall. I did a similar build but with a mid drive kit so I can go up hills (a mountain) without eventually burning up the hub motor and ride with even less parasitic drag. A hardtail so there would be space for a battery pack in the middle. Think that if you fall forward the family jewels could take a pretty rough hit maybe put a cushion on there if you actually are going to use it. Secondly depending on battery and where you are charging it can be nice to be able to detach the battery I charge mine in my fireplace because im a bit paranoid.

You guys are so creative. I love watching you building things.

One thing I'd recommend on that is to put at least one torque arm on the front fork. That fork's kind of weak for that power of motor and that axle is likely to spin out of the dropouts. Also that fork wasn't designed to have a disk brake caliper attached to it so there's a good possibility that repeated use of the front brake will eventually bend or break the fork. There's at least 20+ e-bikes that can compete against the Hyper Scrambler.

FYI, Pexmore, the brand of the motor they bought, makes a $500 e-bike on Amazon. They even make a 1500W bike for $620.

Great video, but as an avid cyclist, your lack of helmets is scary! 30+ mph...a crash would hurt you. Plus the pointy part of the battery sticking up towards your manhood? Yikes.

Great to see you are doing so well. I have been a subscriber since your second video, and i always knew you would become successful. You absolutely deserve it, you have been so dedicated to the channel, and have a great attitude. Keep up the good work!!

Some of the older videos seem to have been deleted, but the new ones are even better!!

This man is one of the most underrated youtubers on here. He does insane builds, has fun doing it, and in the past has done crazy challenges. I hope he hits 1, 000, 000 soon.

Why did you fully rivet the battery compartment? How will you access the battery when you need to do maintenance?

I just scored a freebie Marin east peak FRS full suspension mountain bike with a really rusty chain, flat tires and bent drop off (derailluer), but Marin bikes have a special feature to protect the frame from bending when you wack the drop off-a kind of breakaway part or something. . . might just need to tighten a bolt. It's Ninties bike which seems like it has low miles. Unfortunately this model year does not have disc brakes. I am going to be watching a lot of these build videos, meanwhile I am going to buy a new chain, clean it up and ride it as a regular bike for a while.

***you need to primer metal with special bare metal primer before painting.

Super glad I found your video. I’m building a super cheap front motor e-bike and have received a lot of negative feedback online for doing a front wheel motor. You just proved very one wrong!!!!

[KeithPendleton-omsu]

I like how they make their builds look so easy to put together.

[Stxy_Gaming]

20 bucks for that bike 😱 gotta love goodwill man

[JakeJakeSteve]

You are the YouTuber who deserves 1M+ subs

[steeletarleton]

Just so people are aware, ebikes are supposed to be speed capped so that may be why the homemade one was able to win.

[pravitkeyo]

If Chay actually sold this bike i would buy in a heartbeat

Editing 10/10
Bike opinion,
you put the battery on the top so it will handle terrible.
you put a great case around the battery and then put the controller on the bottom of the Bike in a random spot.
You actually even had to weld to put a brake caliper on the bike.
10amp hours isn't 50 miles lol😂

[kadenickel]
