Q: I don’t see a way to put my disk brake rotor on the front hub motor. Is it possible to do this?

A:There are six screws on hub motor cover for disc.

Q: Thanks for your help but my e-trike disc hub is on the left side or the opposite of your picture. Do I have to install on my right side to work.

A: This hub motor default: disc on the left side.   (Disc cover on the left side of frame)
If you need to install disc on the right side. We also can make this motor ‘s cover on the right side of frame.

Q: Can you build something like this? I need it to be able to handle more torque than speed. I am about 340 lbs .

Q: Thank you for your response. I have a question for you. What is the sprocket type? I am looking for a freewheel sprocket. 

A: Default: freewheel

Q: Before I begin to purchase a new hub motor I want to mention something. 4 years ago I ordered a 48v 1000w 700c rear wheel bike motor e bike kit from leaf bike,  and I still have it till this day….I enjoy using it and I am having a lot of fun with it and I want to keep it….I recently ordered a brand new bike and I really want to exchange my original e bike kit into my new bike, however my new bike is on a different size rim (27.5” x 2.4”). 
I have begun this project of mine and I am facing a problem with my spoke install. I ordered 36 x 170mm spokes from a bike store, installed the 1st and 2nd set of spokes easily, however, to do the 3rd and 4th set is impossible as I can not reach the rim hole. I noticed on your website that size 170mm spokes are the correct size length, they are 12 gauge, I followed the exact same spoke  pattern as the 700c wheel, yet I have no success. What am I doing wrong? 

A: 700c rim is about larger than 27.5 inch
27.5 inch is a little than 26 inch

48V 52 V 2000W motor kit

Q: The 2000w bike conversion kit arrived safe and sound. I wonder if you would explain to me some of the wire connectors are for. What I should set
-U02 Power Watt Max  1000W default or 2000W hub motor
-U03 What is power gear? Saved, Gear 1,2…
-P07 Speed magnet number?24 ,36,48?
-P14 Current Limit? 30A-40A?
After I install the brake Cut off sensor I have E2 error what wrong
What are 2 blue wire connector for? 2  5 Pin connector  at motor I use either one They work fine So what is the extra 5 pin connector for?
Please help me to make it work right.
The speed I got 86 kmh on 48V 15ah battery

A: U02 – You can set it as your hub motor power  (Don’t set)
U03 – Don’t set
P07 — 46
P14 — You can set 30A or 40A.  (Less current is bigger for controller) You can set 30A first, then ride or uphill, if good. That’s good. If not good for uphill, set it to 40A.
 
E2 – Your brake lever or sensor is braking. (Cut off motor power, at this time, motor can’t work)
 
Two blue wires are used for:  look for phase wire, look for correct working way.  If can’t work. Connect these blue wires together. Controller can look for right working way by itself.
 
5 pin extra — 2 sets of 5 pin extra are the same.  They are connected to 2 sets of hall sensors. If one hall is broken,motor can’t work. 
Just use the other 5 pin plug then can solve motor hall issue.

Q:Would you help me with the E7 error code after 2 blue wire connected
Is the hub motor failed? After connect 2 blue wire together I got E7 and motor stopped working. I worked fine I got 90kmh after I follow your instruction.
So what now?
The hub Motor and the speed controller work fine so far just a minor issue with the light wire (red+black)from the controller that does not work
when I connect it with my e bike rear light ,and there are 2 wires (red+white) from display What are they for?
Would you help me with bike conversion kit. If I succeed to upgrade my e bike I may do upgrade for my friends.
I will properly need you with more orders.
It worked now. THANKS

48V system fit to hub motor

A: Thanks for you are interested in our products.

Please below link. These 17 inch bike conversion kits are fit for you.
https://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-motorcycle-kit/17-inch-electric-motorcycle-wheel/

Q: Can you please send me data sheets to the strongest hub motor and a mechanical drawings.
 A:If need to stronger, replace this stronger controller. We can make this kind of 17 inch, just replace a rim.
https://www.leafbike.com/products/beach-snow-fat-bike-kit/26-inch-2000w-5000w-high-power-rear-hub-motor-bike-conversion-kit-992.html
 
But this 2000w hub motor is fit for 170mm or 190mm dropout.

Q:  I cant use this hub motor as the dropout is too big. 
Looking for a hub motor with max 138mm dropout. Whats the strongest you can offer? 

Please send me data sheet, test curves and mechanical drawing of the hub motor

A: If need to install sprocket / Chain, max use 1500w motor.If don’t need to install sprocket / Chain, max 2000w motor.

Q: Please send me datasheet, test curves and mechanical drawing of the 1500w hub motor.

60V 30AH electric bike triangle battery Custom

Q: I’m interested in this 60v 30ah lithium battery but I have 2 questions. My controller has a max BMS of 45 and I see that this battery is rated for 30. Would that be an issue? If yes, can you guys increase it? The second question is that I like the size of this electric bike battery because it fits my frame. I was wondering if you can increased to amp hours from 30 to 35-40, without changing the battery size? I’d like to increase my range as much as possible. I don’t know if this is possible but I thought I’d ask.

A: 1. Your controller Max 45. — It’s fit for.  We can make battery’s BMS to max 40A or 50A
2. Yes, we can increased the Amp hours from 30ah to 35-40. If without changing the battery size. (Also, can supply your frame size to us. We can customize as battery as your frame.)

Q: I’m not quite sure which measurement is for the frame size, so I’ll just send 2 different ones, followed by a picture so you can see where I got them from. From the middle of the crank to the top of the seat it’s 17 inches, and from the middle of the crank to the horizontal top bar, it is 14.25 inches. However, I made a cardboard cut-out based on the dimensions provided on your website found out it’ll fit well. What’s the maximum amp hours that you can fit in a battery that size? 

A: We can make 60v 30ah fit for this frame.  (maybe 60v 35ah, 40ah)
If we can get actual size of this frame,then we can ask our factory to estimate max amp fit for this. 

Q: Going in a clockwise direction, the measurements are listed below:
444.5mm (across the top) X 571.5mm (bottom bar) X 279.4mm (vertical seat tube).

Leaf Ebike Kit Questions

Q: I would like to purchase a 27.5″ electric hub motor kit that fits in 135mm dropouts and I have a 72v (20s) battery capable of 80A continuous that I would like to use.  Several questions please:
A. Can I buy a 27.5″, Freewheel, Rear, Wide Rim, kit that fits in 135mm dropouts with the “2000W ~ 5000W programmable controller” instead of the controller that normally comes with the hub motor kit and if yes, what would the total price of the hub motor kit be before shipping cost are added?
B. What is the internal width of the widest 27.5″ rim you have available?
C. Can I get the 5mm phase wires with the motor configuration I specified in “A.” above?  If yes, how much would it change the price?  If no, what are the largest diameter phase wires I could get?
D. Do all Direct Drive Leaf motors now use the .035″ thick laminations?  I would definitely want them. 

A: A. 135mm dropout – max make 48v 1500w rear bike motor,see below drawing. no room to make 2000w motor. (This 48v 1500w motor with 3mm phase wire can work with 48v or 52v or max 60v)
https://www.leafbike.com/u_file/2301/01/photo/1500w-rear-bike-motor-drawing_53f4287594.jpg 

     But, if no freewheel, not pedal, can make it to be 48v 2000w front bike motor(see below drawing) that fit for 135mm dropout and can use “2000w~5000w programmable controller”
This 48v 2000w motor with 6mm phase wire can work with 48v or 52v or 60 or 72v batteries.
https://www.leafbike.com/u_file/2301/07/photo/2000w-front-beach-snow-fat-bike-motor-drawing_bbdbc1e4ce.jpg 

We have three kinds of 27.5 inch rim, one is 23mm width, the other two is 25mm and 32mm width.   (Max 32mm width)

If 26 inch, we have 25mm, 32mm, 80mm width rims.

B. Our 27.5 inch 32mm width rim, internal width is 25mm

C. 48v 2000w can use 5mm or 6mm phase wires.  (But 48v 1500w max use 3mm phase wires.

D.  All of our motors use .035″ thick laminations

Q:
Two more question regarding the “48v 1500w rear bike motor” phase wires: 

A. Are the phase wires 3mm in diameter or 3mm in cross sectional area? 

B. Is the 3mm dimension for the actual copper wire or the overall including the insulation?
