Cheap DIY electric MTB vs Premium £7000 e-bike! I put two very different electric mountain bikes head to head to show you the difference when you spend the money on an epic Canyon ebike! Would you ride the cheap bike?

I ride Twisted Oaks bikepark on two very different ebikes and see if the cheap DIY ebike kit from Alibaba can keep up with the incredible build of the Canyon Torque ON. We start off straight away with a race between myself and Lewi Pilgrim who take the reins of the Canyon while I try to tame the cheap bike at full speed around berms and over jumps! After this it's all about wheelies as they truly never get old! We then head to some bigger jumps to make the unthinkable happen. This cheap bike really wasn't as bad as I thought. Would you ride it?

    Would like to see a mid range mtb (£1000-£1500) with a conversion kit Vs the Purple Beast!

    No dinner for Alison! That's harsh but the Canyon looks amazing. Great fun.

    No suspension. No brakes. No problem. You would think Sam would have a better MTB lying around to fully send?❤
  • @MotoGuy-ul6lp
    Would be good to see a £3000 emtb vs the £7000 one.

    That DIY kit looks like the very first kit that ever came to the market. Last 10 years we have seen much better DIY kits from Bafang, Tongsheng, Toseven and CYC...:face-purple-wide-eyes:

    i want an ebike so bad! This just makes me need one even more Great video sam!
  • I mean, when a bike is as much as a car, it should be unstoppable. Even better when sam gets all his expensive bikes free.
  • Got to be the ultimate bike you've flipped. Balls of steel, had visions of the chain coming off again and catching up.
  • @FuzzyStone01
    I want to see more head to head for sure! :D what a fun
  • @andyukh1625
    I gotta say, Alison has come on leaps & bounds, and rides them berms leaning into the turns… 👏🏽 keep it up, Sam you’re ok as well 😆🤣

    The hub motor conversion kits work SO MUCH better. None of that chain garbage to deal with and the torque is usually better. I've done several conversions with $300-$400 USD and they have worked VERY well. It's also nice to be able to have two wheel drive. One of the conversions was for a cargo bike with a 1kw front & 1.5kw rear motor.

    Love the purple paint job on the Canyon. Guessing that's custom.
