Add-E 600W Ebike Kit Video Review
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
https://electricbikereview.com/add-e/600w-kit/ The Add-E 600W Kit is exceedingly compact, light weight and easy to remove (for temporary unpowered use) though it does produce more noise than most of the ebike kits I've tested. The bottle style battery pack is beautiful, the cap twists to add power at 50 watt increments up to 250 making it legal internationally, limited top speed of 15.5 mph. Lots of optional accessories including a twist or trigger throttle, the included five magnet pedelec disc isn't super responsive but works well and qualifies as Class 1. Compatible with a wide range of bicycle types but may require extra work to install (completely removing the bottom bracket), solid six month battery warranty.

it would have been enough to take the BB bolt off and ride it a while and it would come off on it own...
-
600W... Yeah... Tell me more xD

To remove the pedals, hit the sides against a solid mass of iron. As if he applauded the shaft with two hammers.

Really useless time wasting video here, who cares who you fix you crank, it suppose to be a review..very boring as well
-
who's bike is this?
chris elliot's from the show " get a life" ? -
OMG ... vandal monkey...

Grinding without a guard. Ouch. I did a lot of that. I said DID.

The batteries are always far too overpriced. I would consider the conversion however the prices are far too high especially when your dealing with a max speed thats just enough to get you in trouble when you try and compete with traffic speed to overcome or be overcome.

Despite the fact that power-dimension ratio is very good in brushless motors, in which magnetic field is yield from strong magnets and there is no need of big magnetic core, the motor shaft needs a cross section adequate to the torque applied. (torque is equal to Power/angular speed , T=P/w). For that reason, observing the shaft diameter, there is no way to give 600W for that motor. Nevertheless, the system is very nice, and 100-150W are enough to assist your legs (a cyclist at medium rate gives 250-300W, a pro more or less 400W). If the system had a low cost I would buy it for sure.

that motor looks like a brushless dc motor simaler to what you might find in a large rc plane

Yah I think I;ll stick with my traditional Ebike. Wearing out my tyres and worrying about debris damaging the motor is a concern . Also 600W with friction like that is like a 500hp car pulling over 4tons of weight .

safety glasses and leave the guard on the grinder you fluffin hacks!!!
-
electric bikes are expensive and this add-e is a bit of an overpriced choice for what you get.
-
thanks for the review and some background on what one might encounter installing it on certain frames. I'm pleased to know enough now about this kit that I won't ever consider it. especially for the cost
-
No a bad idea, but sadly, still way to expensive for the minions
-
Dumb ass. You dont know what a hammer is!

If the kit was installed on a bike that had more smooth and slick street tires it would be more powerful and go faster. I was into e-bikes in 2009-2010 building bikes that would do 50mph. The performance difference between knobby mountain bike tires and street slicks was night and day. I bet the kit installed on a bike with slick tires pumped up to 90psi would show a lot more performance

did someone die? He is not a good mechanic!

Ok--Put a real tire on it... There are basic tires to fit that bike that have a full contact patch. There is connected ridge on the top of that tire but---a lot of your noise is coming from the tire motor interface and you are getting a ton of resistance. Why did you CHEAP OUT and not do a decent test?

Why do bicycling helmets have to look so goofy?
