I've been building my own ebikes for a few years now. I've used the BBS02 and the TSDZ2B, I prefer the torque sensing of the Z2B mainly because I like to pedal instead of using a throttle. Both motors have been solid and have been on some nice bikes.

I decided to get a shop bought ebike (Specialized Vado) for running errands and commuting. I never had a single problem with the Bafang or Tongsheng setups but this Specialized has been to the bike shop twice for warranty repairs within 3 months of ownership.

At least if something goes south with a Bafang or Tongsheng there are replacement parts available at a reasonable price but with shop bought you basically have to go to a bike shop to get it fixed, if you're out of warranty you're going to be hit with a big bill, if you're in warranty you won't see your bike for weeks.
Replacement batteries for shop bought ebikes are also extortionate. The only reason I opted for a shop bought was because it had a carbon belt drive, which in my opinion is the best for commuting in British weather and it was on the cyclescheme so it gets heavily discounted. Otherwise I would've just stuck to the Bafang or Tongsheng motors.

Thanks for your video!! I also did a build and some tests of this TSDZ16 motor on my WattTheBike channel. The motor is great!! There are a few reliability issues at the moment, but they are currently testing gears made of PEEK material.

Lovely build again man 👍
For off-roading a 15mph limiter but instant power is way more useful than a serious delay then loads of power. Hope there's a tweak soon as it's a road bike only motor currently.

EM3EV has nice Triangle battery's and its 52v better then any 48v battery.
But that bike with the kit looks GORGEOUS.

I have a Specialized Fat Boy, wonder if this would work on it

I've said this before in previous videos, I'll say it again. Dude stuff builds some of the cleanest looking ebikes I've seen 🤌🏿

Stunning bike. Well done on working around that bottom tube shape. Reminds me of a Kona frame. As soon as I saw it i thought, no way it will fit, but it did.

good channel...i learn something and soo relaxing...thank you mate

I will say that display is crispy and beautifully done

Great build. But nothing beats the BBSHD for long term reliability and rebuildability / available, inexpensive parts.
The BBSHD is a brick sh_thouse with gobs of power.  The only motor I consider.
With aftermarket controller they can take 72V and big amps for 50mph +.
PS. many frames take some metal shaping when mounting motors. You could of course face the non-drive side of the frame for more BB space 3-4mm, a common practice.   Love your builds. Being from America, the 15mph limit is a joke. My BBSHD bikes I power with 52v battery, both do 40mph and I know you have built faster bikes including CYC. Problem with CYC is poor reliability, high cost and shrill, screechy sound signature, but yes they are fast and loud while they last .

Really like this build

Nice mate 👍🏻

It’s massive.

Nice touch on battery too😊

Do a review on the ECCRIDE kit

that bike dose look really really nice! looks amazing! super clean looking! I don't like it when you have to modify the frames and drill holes! I love your videos you can really see well what works with what and how it works! you are the #1 YouTube DIY E-Bike builder! the rivet nut is cool i guess.... I really think we can engineer better mounting rigs for the batteries! you know something you don't have to drill holes for! I swear I can imagen something that works in my dreams for battery mounting! I cant physically manifest this battery mount hardware out of my dreams tho!

one of the best looking builds to date love the stealthy black loooks sick man :)

Nice build

Great build mate

The only thing I see is the motor sits below the chainring and is going to be first thing to strike logs and rocks.
