I just came across this video and found it extremely helpful. I have just recently become aware of the presence and popularity of e-bikes and have become hooked. I look forward to learning more about building these amazing machines.

Thanks for the detail video & I like how you slowing explain everything without music & fake acting. I’m actually gonna try this with a trike bike for the front wheel setup work best. Good Luck with your career & I’m a subscriber now.

The whole video was very detailed and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.I think you are very clever with all the electronic gear that you assemble. Just carry on doing what you do best. Glad you got rid of the Pneumonia. There's a lot of it about these days!

A little tip for the grips that I got from GCN is: lift the end of the handlebar (one close to shifters) with a little screwdriver and squirt some water with dish soap. Then try twisting. Repeat underneath if needed. I can't stress enough how well this works, even on the very old bikes I was restoring where grips were truly stuck.

I've been watching your channel over a year, finally bought 2 of your books and think the Swytch kit might be a good starter kit while building a 750 mid drive. Glad you're back on it.

I am in the process of watching your video here, and I wanted to tell you thank you for your video. Honestly, you are very good at offering a low stress learning video. I definitely rate you at a 10. You should do this for a living! lol..
Just wanted to give you a "attaboy!" Thx again,

Thanks for using an unusual/odd bike . I'd read about fit issues on the Swytch 1.0, but you seem to have overcome these issues on your non-standard bike quite easily. very helpful! mazel tov on the move!

Glad to hear that you are on the mend! Thanks for the switch video as I’m thinking of upgrading an old but beautiful mt bike to an ebike.

Glad to hear you're coming with Part 3 of that DIY Electric Motorcycle. Been waiting for that!

[samgutz]

That was one of the best explanations on making an Ebike I have seen, Great Job and Thank you!

I'm glad your back and feeling well. I was wondering what happened since I havent seen any new videos.

Thank you for posting all the great videos on your channel

I have located the website of the SWYTCH company. I believe you mentioned that the kit you used was a 250w. Do you know if they come in higher wattage, like 1000w or even higher. I really like what I see with this conversion company. If you continue your affiliation with them I hope you will show more conversions in the future.

😯 A lot of people got “pneumonia” at the end of 2019 in my city, too.

Question -- I'm 6ft and weighing about 230 lbs. I'm thinking of getting into e-biking. I work in a hospital and I commute daily almost about 7-8 miles each way. What power motor do you think would suit me the best?

[abba]

I look forward to your next video. This kit is pretty interesting.

Ain Australia, if customs opens something they have a clear sticker which advises of that.

Love your videos, and thanks for the review of Swytch. Happy to see the improvements to simplify to the DIY ebike conversions.
