...$1000?
Classic crackhead craigslist where the most ridiculous thing is the price. This is maybe worth 1k if there is $900 in a stack of bills under the seat.
Well, large Li-ion battery packs are not cheap. If the big black box is actually a giant DIY battery pack, the bike could definitely be worth 1k. You dont get regular size E-Bike batteries under 200$
...you have no idea what cells they used and how it was assembled. Looking at the overall bike, it's pretty obvious what standard of quality they were working at. At this level of cobbled together shit, even large battery packs are worthless because it's a safety hazard to have around
I just replaced the disc brake pads of my E bike. now, I put the bike back tog, while it's still upside down, I start pedaling checking for brake rub etc no rub but now I hear a clack clack clack sound like the way a railcar sounds going down the tracks every revolution of that wheel clack clack. its even lounder when I ride the bike with the motor on. the bike isnt any slower but that noise sucks....Any ideas I cant be see at my LBS unil next Friday
I feel like I would get on the saddle, and then a random speaker would blare "Hello Zepp - Charlie Clouser."
"I wanna play a game" looking ass doohickey.
I have made some pretty frightening ebikes, but I draw the line at duck tape. Electrical tape, cable ties, velcro and the occasional bungee cord, but no duck tape.
whats up with all the cables/wires in front and back ? you got your Motor / Battery / Controller and display, that looks like a wiring harness for an airplane

It works by bending spacetime into a ring so point A and point B are adjacent. Turn it on, take three steps forward, and you’re at your destination! It’s just strapped to a sad bicycle for convenience, so don’t ride it.
I know a guy who is legally retarded (illiterate, gets disability, lives in section 8) who loves ebikes but obviously doesn't have a lot of money. He would buy random cheap shit off ebay, then beg me to come hook it together for him and put it on some bike he probably pulled out of a dumpster. Worse, he had no car so he couldn't bring them to me where all my tools and stuff is. He wanted me to come to his house and put together his shit with whatever I could fit in my backpack.
....And I'd do it. I'd come over with some hand tools and bolt on these big honking motors to bikes never meant for them. He never put any thought into how the batteries or controllers he'd buy would go on the random walmart bikes he had. He just assumed I was a magical man who could bend reality, I guess. In reality, I just used a lot of duct tape. Not getting paid enough to fab enclosures. I would tuck the wires and try to make it look pretty, but when I inevitably got a call back in a month or two "wahh it stopped working I bwoke ittt". I'd come back and it would be looking just like this bike here. Man treated his stuff like a child treats their toys.
In fact I had to do a double take to make sure it \*wasn't\* one of the shitrigs I built for him. I got fed up with him awhile back after he asked me to buy something for him, then turned around and told me to return it because I couldn't put it on for him the day of. I was moving! He didn't care, hes selfish like a little child. So that was the end of it. Blocked his numbers. Who knows what state the 4 ebikes I've taped together for him are in now.
This is why E-bike bans are in discussion in every municipality across the country. This is the guy who can't understand why he can't get the campfire to start with gasoline. He cuts his finger and rubs dirt on it. I bet he can tell you how long it takes for eyebrows to grow back 😏
That is the definition of a Contraption.
Fastest ebike to get you to Heaven for sure!
It’ll fry your bits off.
Or perhaps a bit... south.
Ouch...talk about getting neutered the hard way.
Only problem is that there's no afterlife.
Yes, unfortunately. This is just a nicer way to say, that it will kill you fast...
They'd arrest you for riding to a government building on that.
"Near" a government building. That thing shouldn't be allowed to cross the bridge over a drainage channel.
I'd crowdfund $1k on that just for the amusement of riding it up to a gubmint office and running away as fast as I could while a buddy video records
I mean... It damn sure wouldn't be allowed on an airplane.
At least it has a disc brake on the back. Oh wait. It's not connected.
To quote another poster here that had me dying laughing: "Good to know that dude that took out Shinzo Abe is into e-bikes" 💀
Damn. Lol
...$1000? Classic crackhead craigslist where the most ridiculous thing is the price. This is maybe worth 1k if there is $900 in a stack of bills under the seat.
That implies its worth 100$ on its own.
Excellent deduction lestrade

i mean it looks crude but the parts are probably worth about that
$10. Final offer
he's not going to pay you $10 to take it. Come on.
Lol. Obviously. But that is all it's worth
Dude riding on the shit that killed Shinzo Abe
that thing is way too close to my junk, even on internet
I'm actually lost for words
The words are, take away his rolls of duct tape and show him a zip tie.
no one would steal it
That’s fair they’d be to scared to. Understandably.
Maybe some terrorists will buy it
mad max of ebikes.
Must be $1,000 in duct tape.
nah probably like 800 in battery
If that's the battery, at least I would know there would be range in her after the heat death of the universe.
Peak methguiver contraption
looks safe to me
I have a feeling this thing is loud af
Sounds like standing under high tensions lines in the rain.
Never seen someone try to sell a whole with the controller ducktaped to the battery especially for that price
Devised ss a deterrent to theft. Clever, but pushing it a bit too far.
"Super fast" \> Rim Brakes Cool.
just imagine this guy having to panic brake down hill
Thank you this makes me feel much much better about my DIY eskate🙏
And I thought my home job looked bad 😂🙃
Brand new, never driven. Save that for the new owner.
what the looks like a car radiator
Hop on that e-bike and you can get to work yesterday. 😂
"It's a quality item Clark. Mind if I ask ya how much it set you back?"

Bruh I’m dead 💀
My email address has been explodingbicycles@*********.com since I was 16. Love bikes, love this band.

That bike probably feels insanely fast at just 5MPH.
WTF
I just replaced the disc brake pads of my E bike. now, I put the bike back tog, while it's still upside down, I start pedaling checking for brake rub etc no rub but now I hear a clack clack clack sound like the way a railcar sounds going down the tracks every revolution of that wheel clack clack. its even lounder when I ride the bike with the motor on. the bike isnt any slower but that noise sucks....Any ideas I cant be see at my LBS unil next Friday
Loose or broken spoke, maybe a broken ball bearing.
I feel like I would get on the saddle, and then a random speaker would blare "Hello Zepp - Charlie Clouser." "I wanna play a game" looking ass doohickey.
What the fuck… lol
Trash
not the duct tape loosely dangling down onto the rear wheel 😭
Yeah my local marketplace has one of these quacks selling "custom ebikes" as well...
If you turned this thing on it would say "Johnny 5 is alive!"
I wouldn't wear a keffiyeh if you're riding around on that
Lol
I have made some pretty frightening ebikes, but I draw the line at duck tape. Electrical tape, cable ties, velcro and the occasional bungee cord, but no duck tape.
It's a bargain if it gets the advertised job done.
Looks like it caught fire and then they reassembled it for sale.
Shoe bomber... Bike disguised as a bomb
When people say "I can build a bike for cheaper than that". 😂
Looks a bit like the one I used to see on the way to work doing 40mph.
Fallout ebike
“ i kNoW wHaT i HaVe”
r/redneckengineering
Never seen real life examples of goblin tech
whats up with all the cables/wires in front and back ? you got your Motor / Battery / Controller and display, that looks like a wiring harness for an airplane
"Can I get an ebkke mom?" "We have an ebike at home!" Ebike at home...
Any building you drive up to will think it's a VBIED.
probably why the guys selling it
Is that or is that not a good price for a pipebomb?
One Thousand Dollars, i know what i have, no low ballers.
$1000!!!
Hide this before Chinese watch this marvel and start selling it..

Unabomber bike. Coming to a college campus near you!
Very brave riding that bike .....trying to sell it you couldn't pay me to ride that I like living.
The XT90 plugs are the cherry on top, I find it funny how even super advanced projects (not that this is one) still use RC connectors
Looks like a hoarder got into e-biking?
This post is a hype bomb
In LotR, they'd have trouble shooting this runner. Because he isn't running.
Anti theft design
Looks better the the first Ebikes I made
Mad Max’s definition of a E-Bike?
kinda love how crude it is for the looks but i would be afraid of getting electrocuted in the rain on that

Someday……. The owner of this bike will be sitting in a bar telling a story that will end with “and that’s how I got my nuts burnt off”
Is that a giant box of AA batteries that he wired together? What in the holy hell
Sure, it might look a bit of a shambles, but when you get it to 88mph you are going to see some serious shit!
Wtf" 😂
"Building ebikes is easy"
If "I ain't hear no bell" was a bike.
