controller for my 16 inch bike motor

Posted by on June 16, 2020 Comments Off on controller for my 16 inch bike motor

I need to know what voltage is used by the bike motor. When it was running on a trike that I no longer have, I think it was a 24v bike motor.

Can you confirm that it is a 24v bike motor or is there someway to determine what the voltage and wattage is?

If so, would you be able to sell me the appropriate controller for that hub motor?

MY SECOND MESSAGE slightly expanded:
I need to know what voltage is used by my 16 inch bike motor.
Is there someway to determine what the voltage and wattage is? Also, is that motor brushless and gearless?
Given that it is a Leafbike.com/Leafmotor.com hub motor, would you be able to sell me the appropriate controller for that bike motor?

On your

page you show a controller for the 16 inch bike motor. What would be the cost of the controller – the controller only? I do not want or need the
other parts.

looking an electric bike controller for 48V 1000W hub motor

Posted by on June 14, 2020 Comments Off on looking an electric bike controller for 48V 1000W hub motor

I am using a brushless and gearless DC hub motor that is 48V 1000W. I am looking for a suitable bike motor controller for my project.

I want to implement regen braking, cruise, reverse, setting a speed limit etc.
Will this 48V 500W controller works for this 1000W motor?

I am quite hesitant to choose the 48V 1000W brushless motor controller displayed in the web here as I am afraid that the high power may drain too much power from the battery.

I am using a 48V 10Ah battery. It should be sufficient to power the 1000W BLDC hub motor but to power both the motor and controller, it may overstrain the battery.

Can you confirm that your brushless motor controller can set max speed limit, regen brake, reverse and cruise control?
Basically, I just need to buy the three button switch and every of the button can be used to perform on/off operation such as horn, lights, cruise, regen brake etc right?
What is the default max speed limit in the brushless motor controller? Do you change and set the max speed from the LCD display, controller or both? After I set the max speed and I do not want the max speed to be change, is it possible?
The hub motor can still work with the brushless motor controller, even with or without the LCD screen right?

Do you have a similar brushless and gearless hub motor like the one that is:

1) 14″ inch – 16″ inch (including solid rubber tyre)
2) Power is at least 750 W to 1000W max
3) Can implement regen brake, cruise, reverse, set max speed limit

If you have, can I have some details for these hub motors? I need them work with LCD brushless motor controller.

Extra wiring connector after install completion

Posted by on June 14, 2020 Comments Off on Extra wiring connector after install completion

My wife & I purchased an electric 700c front wheel – bike motor kit from you earlier this year.
In my 37+ years working on bicycles the “road bike” brake levers included with our wheel are the first I’ve seen with mountain bike cable connectors.

I’ve completed the installation of the new 700c motorized wheel shipped to us in perfect condition.

I was pleased that the pedal assist bracket and cable were included in the package even though I had to epoxy the pickup to the front bottom bracket housing for it to “see” the magnetized ring portion of the assembly. I use a “five minute” epoxy I’ve been happy with several years now!

I had to purchase and install a new mountain bike fork on our pre-2000 Cannondale tandem to adequately support the electric wheel. I had also to install a rim tape over the spoke head access holes on the wheel where the inner tube fills the space inside the tire. Only the threaded portion of the inner tube valve protrudes from the inner accessible area of the exterior wheel rim opposite the wheel hub. I chose a puncture-resistant slime filled tube to use with the road bike tire on the wheel. Servicing the tire “on the road” with that wheel isn’t a pleasant prospect. I praise God that I have the health, experience and knowledge to maintain and service assemblies of this type!

Question: After completion of the e-bike wheel install and the wiring connections (less the two leads to the yet-to-arrive battery), I still have a white plastic electric connector with 3 prongs within. What might this remaining connector be for?

How-to-build-a-hub-electric-bike-motor

Posted by on June 14, 2020 Comments Off on How-to-build-a-hub-electric-bike-motor

These days hub electric bike motor wheels are used for e-bikes widely. Nearly all of hub bike motor are brushless gearless. Because of low noise, high efficiency, long life are popular with riders.
Order 1 set 12″ 14″ 16″ 18″ 20″ 24″ 26″ 700c 27.5″ 650b 27″ 28″ and 29 inch hub motor kit, convert your common bike to e-bike is so easy. Directly front or rear drive your bike.
The important part is an engine -hub motor. How to build this electric bike motor?

Step 1: winding
Calculate motor power, speed RPM and confirm what type of copper wire would you use. Next is fix a rotor on the steel shelf, wind copper wires by handwork or machine. It takes about 1 hour to done it by handwork. And should use rubberized fabric to wrap your fingers. Nipping copper wires will break your fingers. If you need steel parts for your building process, then make sure you use the.

Step 2:soak paint
After winding should soak paint in order to be insulated. Use brush to put the insulated paint on the winding and make sure be soaked everywhere. It takes about 24 hours.

Step 3:press axis into rotor
Put axis into rotor winding and use a key to fix axis. Use A-B glue to paste three hall sensors on hub motor rotor, put 9-pin (three pin/each hall) into PCB and use insulated wire to fix it. Put 8-pin cable inside the axis and heavy yellow, blue, green wires to connect the three copper wires(Phase A,B,C) separately. Thin red, black wires are be weld to PCB + and – .

Step 4:paste magnet
Paste magnet inside hub, one N pole, next S pole ..one by one. More magnet, higher torque, more power. The height of our magnet is 30mm,6mm higher than other hub motor. In market,24mm high magnet only build max 500w electric bike motor. So our bike motor works at 36V can reach 750w.

Step 5:install rotor winding
Put the rotor winding inside the magnet hub, be careful hand. It has powerful magnetism.

Step 6:install two covers
Before installing both covers, we should press bearing into cover. Use hexagon wrench to tight screw nuts. When you hear “poop” from electric bike motor. That means install correctly. Done it.

Power on battery and use bike motor controller to drive this hub motor. If no any strange noise. It’s okay. You also need to make sure you have a controller that fits with the model you are working with, or else the whole thing might just fall apart.

Check your hub motor wheel – electric bike kit

Posted by on June 11, 2020 Comments Off on Check your hub motor wheel – electric bike kit

Order 1 set of electric bike kit from manufacturer-leaf motor and convert your bike to e-bike is a fun. But sometimes when we receive packages and don’t know how to handle it. Follow us:

Before install electric bike kit, we should test it first.
Step 1: Deliver your package
Spent some days on Internet, at last found leaf motor ‘s electric bike kit is the best. Ordered it and paid by paypal. Waiting for… About 3 days later, post officer knocked my door (EMS) and sign in it.
Check packing box first ,if it’s okay. Pls disconnect electric bike kit box.

Step 2: Check all goods in package
Take out 26″ hub motor rear wheel, bldc motor controller, lcd, throttle, brake lever, three button switches, speed signal wire and some connectors from packing box. Check each goods and make sure everything doesn’t have fault.

Step 3: hold on 26″ hub motor wheel
Put the hub motor wheel on your frame fork and tight both screw nuts.

Step 4: install magnet detector

Step 5: connect wires
1.Plug male 6-pin hall wires from hub motor cable to female connector from bldc motor controller;
2.Connect heavy yellow, green, blue from hub motor cable to heavy yellow, green, blue from bldc motor controller, color to color;
3.Two grey wires: connect these two wires/half speed; disconnect them/full speed;
4.Throttle connector is 3-pin that is easy to identify. Red: +4.5V, black: GND, green: Signal
5.Brake lever connector is white 2-pin.When hub motor is working, press brake lever is to cut off power;
6.Signal wire is black three pin plug that should be connected to white three pin female connector.
7.The other three pin connector from bldc motor controller is used for PAS;
8.Connect four pin lcd plug.

Make sure each wire is connected correctly. Power on battery.(Heavy red wire: +, black wire: – )Be careful,36V controller must work at 36V battery, if supply 48V DC, it will break the bldc motor controller at once.

Power on battery and press ON/OFF button on LCD one time, the LCD will light. Twist your throttle,hub motor starts to run. No strange noise…Press brake lever, electric bike kit system stops, loose it,the hub motor runs.

Please watch video .

By test electric bike kit system, we found hub motor wheel, bldc motor controller, throttle.. everything is good. Next step is that we start to convert them on bike.

if your lithium battery with BMS or not

Posted by on June 8, 2020 Comments Off on if your lithium battery with BMS or not

Does your electric bike battery has BMS function, if with BMS function,had better to always make this red button to be “down”(Don’t be up)… (After testing, LCD-008HU is no problem for working with the battery without BMS function.)

This red button be “up”, when ride, press brake lever,it will reverse charging battery.

It is necessary to confirm whether the lithium battery has BMS function. If the electric bike battery has BMS function, if the battery is full, use the reverse charging function of the controller, and the battery protection will not absorb. Then the reverse current of 70V, 80V and 110V will be reverse charged to LCD and controller.

The controller has a large capacitance, which can absorb the counter current. But LCD does not have a large capacitance, it will act on the LCD switching power supply and burn the switching power supply.

Other LCD-003 use resistance step-down power supply, reverse charging, resistance can step-down, will not damage the switch.
But for the LCD with USB port, the USB module will be burnt if the counter charging exceeds 70V
Because there are a lot of things that need to be lit for this color screen instrument. It uses the switching power supply. If the reverse charging exceeds 70V, the switching power supply will be burnt out

If your lithium battery has BMS, can’t make that red button to be “up”(three button switch). (red button should as “down” as below picture)
Had better Not use this red button. Thanks.

BLDC hub motor bike conversion kit works

Posted by on June 6, 2020 Comments Off on BLDC hub motor bike conversion kit works

We test this bike conversion kit before shipment. If three led lights on throttle can’t work, please connect green wire to the positive of electric bike battery.

About anti-theft, you should disconnect two power wires (one red thin wire and one red thick wire).

Another red thin wire should be connected to a lock or a switch in series.

I find the problem and it’s was the thumb throttle who is not working… I changed the thumb throttle and replace it with the twist throttle and it work fine,,, but I am not satisfied because I prefer the thumb throttle so if I return you the thumb throttle would you send me a replacement one.
 
I got also another problem in the installation manual online you describe a procedure for anti-theft and I am not able to use it… What is a Cut off power to supply (called soft-switch is turning the key)
 
So please tell me if I mist something because the bike conversion kit system is not working.
 
Text for installation guide need clarification
6. Anti-theft alarm setting:
Cut off power supply to hub motor (called soft-switch, but hub bike motor controller is still powered
on) and take out the electric bike battery key, within 10 seconds press and hold the cruise
control button until you hear a beep sound, then release the cruise control button.
The bike conversion kit system is now protected from theft and the hub motor is electronically locked.
Any movement or vibration of bike conversion kit system will trigger the siren for 30 seconds, and the bike motor wheel will resist any pedaling movement.
 
Was this thin power wire connected well? If did no problem, are you sure that five hall wires from hub motor weren’t be connected well.

Could you try it as below :
Use your hand to turn your hub motor wheel, then turn your twist throttle, maybe do like that, it can turn.
 
It’s not working. Tell you what I done
 
Check all the connection three times also check with the diagram all wires and they are OK
 
Only thing I got: the horn is working and the gauge show full (3 lights) when I turn on the electric bike battery, also when I push two times the cruise button I get a loud beep from the horn and that’s all.
 
After a road test nothing at all it’s like having nothing at all… 

The basic principles of the permanent magnet hub motor

Posted by on June 5, 2020 Comments Off on The basic principles of the permanent magnet hub motor

We talk about one type of permanent magnet hub motor for electric bike. It’s a hub electric bike motor, sometimes we also call it brushless dc hub motor .

The permanent magnet hub motor and the hub motor driver is a typical product for e-bike recently.

Generally the electric bike motor ’s rotor winding is made of a three phase star connection, with the three-phase asynchronous AC hub motor is very similar. The hub motor rotor has been magnetized permanent magnet, in order to detect the polarity of the hub motor, there are three halls sensors on the rotor.

The hub motor driver is made by the power electronic devices and integrated circuits, its function is to receive electric bike motor ’s start, stop and brake signal so that control the hub motor to start, stop and brake; receive the position sensor signals and reversing signal, used to control the inverse power tube change the bridge off to produce a continuous torque; receive the speed command and speed feedback signal used to control and adjust the speed; provide protection and display

The main circuit is a typical voltage-type AC – DC – AC circuit, other pieces of alternating square wave frequency of 5-26KHZ modulation wave symmetry.

Permanent magnet NS alternating exchange, the position sensor phase difference of 120 ° U, V, W, square wave, combined with the six-state encoding signal forward / reverse signal generator: 101,100,110,010,011,001, through processing logic components to produce conduction of T1-T4, T1-T6 turns on, the T3-T6 conduction, T3-T2 turn-on, turn-T5-T2, T5,-T4 conduction, which means that the DC bus voltage is incremented A + B-, A + C-, B + C-, B + A-, C + A-, C + B-, so that the rotor turned a pair of NS pole, T1-T6 power tube fixed into six states followed by conduction. Each state, only two phase winding are energized in order to change a state, the axis of the magnetic field generated by the rotor winding 60 ° electrical angle of rotation in space, the rotor follows the rotor magnetic field rotation is equivalent to the space of 60 ° electrical angle position, the rotor in a new location so the position sensor U, V, W to produce a new set of coding according to the agreement, the new coding and changed the power tube combination of conduction, the magnetic field generated by the rotor winding shaft forward 60 ° electrical angle, and so on, permanent magnet electric bike motor produces continuous torque, drag the load for a continuous rotation. Permanent magnet DC motor commutation is itself, rather than forced by the commutation, also known as controlled synchronous hub motor.

Posted by on June 5, 2020 Comments Off on bldc motor interaction principle

Based on the principle of rotation of the motor for the Fleming left hand rule, when a wire placed in a magnetic field, if the current through the wire, the wire will cut the wires generate the magnetic field lines move. Current into the coil creates a magnetic field using the current magnetic effect, the solenoid magnet at a fixed continuously rotating device that can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. And a permanent magnet or by another group of the magnetic field generated by the coil to generate power bldc motor interaction principle is the stator does not move, the force generated by interaction of the rotor according to the direction of movement. bldc motor controller is on the alternating current through the stator windings, a rotating magnetic field, rotating magnetic field attracts the rotor rotates bldc motor with the basic structure include “armature”, “field magnet,” “slip ring”, “brush” . Armature: You can rotate around the axis of the soft iron core wound multi-turn coil. Field magnet: the strong magnetic field of permanent magnet or an electromagnet. Collector ring: coil about two to two semi-circular termination of slip ring, with the coil rotation for changing the current direction of the change to the device. Each half-circle rotation (180 degrees), the coil current to change direction once. Brushes: carbon usually made of slip ring brush contact with a fixed location to be connected to power.
