I TEST a Chinese EBIKE

This cheap chinese carbon ebike gets a megatest! The carbon frame, Bafang 95Nm motor and huge 840Wh battery get ridden hundreds of kilometers in the UK winter and tested to the max. Will it crack? Will it survive the UK winter trails?!

Follow Matt here: Thanks to THE BIKE PILOT for capturing some awesome video content. Always getting the bangers! Follow him here: Thanks to MOSHON-E who supported with build advice. They actually now can get this exact KIT frame to support you. Go follow them here: Thanks to Rockshox, DT Swiss and Shimano for supporting the build with parts! Doing a DIY build like this also has negatives. It takes a fairly long time to build, shop for parts etc, especially in the current situation with delayed / restricted stock! You need tools etc, time to build. And not the best support when you need help. Warranty etc will also take time if I need it. BUT its very rewarding building your own! And you can choose the parts that you really like. For many folks, a direct / shop bought bike is by far the best option, all things considered. Yes, you spend more, but the support is (usually) much better. But great to see this DIY build as a feasible option for those who would like to give it a go.
