Titanium E Bike – Lightning Rods powered E bike with overview and ride footage in Odessa
Welcome to the high voltage Light Electric Vehicle channel it’s a new year hopefully everyone is not too hung over and this is a great way to start with a look at an awesome lightning rods drive on a titanium frame Richard has been working on this beauty for the last year
Or so so I’ve been really looking forward to the chance to show you all lightning rods drives make some of the coolest ebikes you can build and this is one of the best I’ve seen the motor sounds fantastic really smooth and you can tell it’s operating well within
Its limits like a beast waiting to be Unleashed Richard is going to go over his bike in a bit and then take us on a bit of a tour around Odessa where he lives it’s a beautiful city and hopefully one day I’ll get to visit if you want to build a truly
Special eike Stand Out lightning rods is a great option it’s not actually that much more than building a bike with a bbshd or a cyc either anyway enjoy the video and see you in a bit of adessa Cheers this is uh a video of my titanium
Bike some overviews I promise to a few people the batter is a 306p I use the P 42s A’s in it so it’s got quite a bit of voltage no voltage sa hardly whatsoever my motor is a XL lightning rod move back to the back I’ve got a 223 rotor that’s uh
Is.3 me uh mm thick it’s got a single speed rear here which is a 65 and the Hub has been welded so I could use regen regen is not quite hooked up yet I’m still working on that but she’s got everything all the all the best parts I can find I just recently
Put the the motor kill on this for safety and she’s got a 36 shock front uh box front we go for a little ride by the way I live in Odessa Ukraine so it’s kind of been good I too not are very good days to be out riding but today seems like a
Good day it’s uh 8 8 Celsius but we’ll go for a ride Oh there’s Hotel Odessa they blew up This was closed for a long time they just reopened it about a month ago so he can get out and walk some more house go up there I’ll show you the opera house real quick beautiful beautiful place don’t take long look at that beautiful building I’m always wor they’re going to
Blow it up but I I think they love that more than they do in their own country The people here in Ukraine the best people you ever come across I hope the US will support them like they have in The Than He A the rules in Ukraine are a lot relaxed compared to there I think most other countries you can have up to 3,000 Watts on any kind of electric vehicle and don’t even need a license and the fact that I’ve got pedals on mine helps a lot more more
But sometimes you got to remember not to because you got certain things you can’t abuse up the Rules first other countries that can’t do this can’t do that can’t have a throttle I don’t think it’s any better than this this is the Polish Andy here this is our Boardwalk one of the starts of it make sure you slow down and get our residance otherwise I get pissed off
Course I Everywhere I Go There’s my skate park the kids m still Attack oh we have beautiful Parks here down below here like a SeaWorld on down there right on the se4 Beautiful Nemo what do they got a killer whales I guess I’m just some Dolphins I’ve never been in there life goes on this is a SE Port it’s beautiful here People still out having coffee the Ukrainian defensive pretty damn good here the Russians seem to always waste their money the other day they sent like 150 rockets at us and missil some got through unfortunately I can’t say enough about defense to the United States I love my home here in
Ukraine we get up on some pathway pretty soon we can CR it up a little Bit Let’s going back back catch the up I’m going catch the Upper Road speed bus here are Big here we go like that The battery’s not fully charged she’s only about I think about 60% right now which it’s pretty good I don’t like to charger all the way up all the time but that’s fast enough to me Ford walks I can’t say enough about this lightning rod motor I had to seeyc I got to say it was a really big disappointment take some all that extra gearing just to get the torque out of it and then you’re constantly shifting which I’m not a big
Fan of Shifting I don’t do a lot of off-roading and I’m sure it has its purpose but not as you see what I do I’m on Road I love not have to shift that’s is probably the best part of all and the torque this thing has is through the roof I don’t know what the speed is exactly but I’ve hit 60 M hour once and if I got some B with this gearing with the battery fully charged it’s actually a handful you can’t keep the front end down even Hardly but I got the I wanted torque I’m 265 lb on a good day most I’m a little over so it makes me want to hang on with all I got and having all these less m moving Parts no gears in the back no reduction gears on the
Front the motor doesn’t get hot which hand just Loop form even when I’m hitting it hard with 126 volts the aord uh maxed out about 400 I don’t know what I want to actually getting I have to put something on here to show me some uh
Figures right now I don’t get to ride it as much as I would like to with all the the winter time here and uh Rockets coming at us all the time this coming summer I’ve actually bought some extra gears to play with and from the Michael’s been helping
Me figure out a couple different gear racials going to take it to the TR back see what kind of speed we get out of this bad boy but I think for now we have to call this a this video R but thanks for Watching
This is Richards Lightning Rods powered titanium e bike. I have been watching this one get built over the last year and am really pleased that this can be the first High Voltage video of 2024. This is an amazing machine. Sleek and graceful but with plenty of power. The video has a bit of an overview of the bike and then a bit of a tour around the city of Odessa where Richard lives.
The bike uses a 120 volt battery which is 30s 6p of Molicell P42a. The ebike laws where Richard lives allow for 3000 watts.

If you want a unique ebike that stands out of the crowd then the lightning rods drives are a great option and are not that much more expensive than using a BBSHD or CYC. You can make contact with Lightning Rods via our discord community. https://highvoltagekits.com/discord
