My new DIY DH whip!

Take the World Cup winning DH bike and add a motor and 650wh battery what do you got?

An explosion first time you go near any rocky track? Like the idea but are you not running a high risk of the battery or motor getting hit with that positioning ?

Looks like a disaster waiting to happen on your next DH outing!

Such a nice bike but yeah that wouldn’t survive anything that bike was made for.
Cool commuter though.

For me, the saddle angle truely completes its beauty

I just noticed that. Just needs drop bars on it and he’s set!

Very cool .

Looks can be deceiving..the motor is 1/4" lower then the motor on my Kenevo. I suppose if you pedal slowly through huge rocks or 12" roots then yes, it's going to bonk. I mostly ride nice trails ir road up and bomb down at 20mph so I never touch anything.

The battery is fine there but it was temporary anyway as I moved it inside the triangle.

20mph isn’t bombing down

That exposed motor would survive about 1/4 of a ride on our local trails...but it's a cool way to session great enduro segments all day if you can keep it running!
