In this video, Rob and a fellow bike enthusiast meticulously document the assembly of an affordable, lightweight electric mountain bike using a Lightcarbon LC930 carbon frame and a Bafang M820 motor. The build focuses on creating a high-performance eBike at a budget-friendly price point, with the frame costing just $800. They carefully examine the carbon frame’s quality, noting its impressive construction and minimal imperfections, which they compare favorably to more expensive brands. The bike features a 75 Newton-meter motor, a 410 Wh battery, and components like Sram wireless transmission, Fox 38 fork, and Race Face components. Throughout the build, they discuss various technical aspects such as cable routing, motor integration, and weight considerations. The final build weighs an impressive 18.9 kilograms, demonstrating that a high-quality, lightweight eBike can be achieved without breaking the bank.
