Any old fool can build a great ebike
turns out the lock nuts are on wrong
and here is what it feels like for Ebike virgins
Oh well done Dylan. A great deal of thought and time went into the making of that video and it was well worth waiting for. Thanks. Oh yes, the bike………………an excellent project which you clearly enjoyed and now you have it up and running I hope it continues to bring you joy. Thanks again for all the laughs. P.
Superb looking bike. Good job. You’re looking trim as well!
Great film Dylan. The Italian narration was a stroke of comic genius. Not sure Signore Campagnolo would have approved, but it suits you to a tee. Congratulazione!
Bellissimo. Very droll, what was the total cost.
Thanks for posting that. Funny too. Now you need to make a film of you sitting bolt upright overtaking the racing lycra clad mob up a steep hill and an appropriate comment in Italian.
Superb, D. Laughed my [arse] off. An instant classic!
Watching you assemble the machine–head-bumping, relentless tool dropping, et al–was like watching a video of myself on any number of past projects. Made me feel a little less doltish. Thank you!
Bravissimo and a good laugh at the same time!
Excellent, all it lacked was a touch of
” fa ta ta fa ta ta schminky pinky boutros boutros ghali” and it would be perfect ..
Also good to see prodigious use of the 1/2″ wobble sprocket and back pedling mudguards.
By the way if you are looking for a new sponsor I have it on good authority that “Pneumatico Gizmo” are keen to invest.
Great video Dylan and well worth the wait, I’m inspired and very impressed with the production.
All the best.
Ps: all that fresh food , exercise and lack of beer is certainly paying off …….pity about the wind though !

I’m glad you mentioned the lighting. About a third to halfway through the film, I was suddenly struck by how… well, “different” the lighting seemed. Of course, you almost always film outdoors. But I’ve seen dozens of indoor YouTubes, and the lighting here was… different. (The word that actually popped into my head at the time was “professional.” As in, “Wow. That looks like a professional lighting job.”) Didn’t give it much thought after that. Too busy laughing while I watched someone else stagger through a parts assembly project just like I would. And farting all the way! Ha! One of a MOB’s hard-earned pleasures is guilt-free farting as he putters around the shed. Brilliant!
Hope the new video projects pay off handsomely. You’re off to a damn good start.
They can take your youth but they’ll never take your freedom with an E-vicar! Best of luck to you both with the “how to” films but somehow I don’t think you’ll need it — great stuff.
Brilliant – and funny. Wishing you many happy miles.
What a brilliant film, and a surprisingly interesting project. Something I should consider doing myself. I’d need a bike first, mine was taken from the shed last, practically new it was. How do you describe the lads who do that sort of thing? I just can’t remember the word you use. Anyhow, best of luck with it.
Sei un mito Dylan ! troppo spassosa , pronuncia perfetta !
Yes Dylan , it means that is funny , the sense is right but some of the mechanicals terms sound a little exotic…very good indeed
