electric bike motor rear vs front wheel confusion

Posted by on March 31, 2025 No comments

Your E-bike company may just be what I’ve been looking for a while now, though I have a least another set of questions before I attempt to make a purchase to ship over.
I’m still having some troubles deciding on your website exactly the difference between which hub motors are for the front vs the back wheels.
I only want to get the front bike motor wheel set up at the moment, though ultimately the rear hub motor . I’m guessing should have a little more power than the front wheel,
or should it be eventually an equally balanced between the front and the back wheel ? (maybe I should go for a 24 to 36 volt in the front and a 36 to 48 reserved for the back.

You’re right when you point out that I should have the necessary kit set-up to go with the front hub motor, such as a battery which I hope to mount somewhere
in between the bike’s triangle bars, which I will also need a mount bracket for the battery I assume., along with a speed controller and If my existing gears won’t do the trick,
then maybe special gear shifts added to the package. I don’t know if I want get the entire front and back conversion kit at this time, unless it would be a bit cheaper and easier
to buy the front and the back as a whole set with the parts, as I can always leave the back wheel mechanism in my closet for a time and just install the front hub motor.

You say most of your hub motors are fairly rain proof but not exactly mud puddle proof ? Same I guess would go for the Battery cases.

I will check things over again on your site along with the shipping arrangements, but I may still have to call you to confirm my slight back vs front wheel confusion.

Interested In Buy This Hub Motor

Posted by on March 31, 2025 No comments

Q: I am very happy in viewing your electric bike rear direct drive with
26 inch hub motor wheel item ID # LBM26481500RN. My e-bike setup is 60 volts. Do you
manufacture 26×2.0 inch wheel with 60 volts 1500W rear direct drive
hub motors?
Secondly, also can you fit the bike motor in a fully BLACK rim without any
silver around the rim so it can match with my front wheel because I
use hydraulic disc brakes?
If there is anything that you need to ask me that I am missing, please
feel free to ask, that the purchase moves smoothly and correctly.

A: This 26 inch 48V 1500W rear hub motor wheel can work at 60V.Also,we can spoke this hub motor with all black color rim.

Q: Just a few more questions before I buy, because everything needs to be correct.
Can this bike motor fit any size frame bike?
Is it suitable for regenerative braking?
Does it have three phase hall sensors?
Can it fit 8 gear cogs? Which I am using at the moment with my old motor.
Please tell me the total length of the motor axle from end to end
because I’m using a rear rack ?

A: This 26 inch bike motor is fit for 135mm rear dropout. If your motor controller with regenerative braking function, will have it. It’s three phase with three hall sensors. One cable with 9 wires: heavy yellow, heavy blue, heavy green wires are motor phase wires. Thin red +5V, thin black / GND. Thin yellow, blue & green three wires are connected to three hall sensor.
It can fit for max 7 speed for 135mm dropout. If your frame can be larger, about 140mm,install 8 speed on this rear hub motor is no problem.
Total length of this shaft is 210mm.

question about one of your front hub motor for my electric bike

Posted by on March 31, 2025 No comments

Q: I am interested in the 20 inch 48V 1000W hub motor electric bike kit – front wheel but I need to know what the front dropout size this hub motor wheel will fit. I have a small folding bike that has a front dropout of 74mm and need a 20 inch hub motorized wheel that can fit it. Any help you can give me would be great.

A: One of our 20 inch 48v 1000w hub motor (all black color bike motor) is fit for the spacing of 100mm front dropout.
The other 20 inch electric bike motor 48v 1000w (black color with silver motor) is fit for the spacing of 90mm front dropout.

Q: Do you have anything that can fit a 74-80mm dropout? It does not have to be 1000w. I am now looking for a 36v 250w electric hub motor kit?

A: Generally nearly all standard front fork is 100mm dropout. So all of our front electric hub motors are fit for 90-100mm.

Does your front fork is 80mm dropout?
Sometimes,when your wheel is on the bike,if you measure it the dropout may 80mm, because of two side screw nuts are be tighten.If you remove this front wheel from front fork,the dropout may be bigger,actual it also standard 100mm dropout.

Could you take a picture with your bike?

missing thread of hub motor shaft

Posted by on March 31, 2025 No comments

It took a little work since spacing was tight, but I get the hub motor wheel inside of my forks. When I went to put the nuts on the axle, I saw that the bolt on the wired side is cracked. It is missing almost all of its thread which means I cannot but the nut on to hold the wheel in place. Essentially, I cannot use it at all. Please see the picture of the cracked bolt.

I was wondering if you know how I am able to repair this hub motor ‘s shaft or if I can somehow get some help on this? I spent a lot to get it all here and it is a little upsetting that a small chip is preventing me from using it at all. I’m not asking for a whole new electric hub motor wheel to be sent, just hoping I can get this bike conversion kit up and hub motor running. Please advise.

If possible, add some washers,then can solve it.

Do it as below:
Disconnect that white big plug,then can take off screw nut and add some washers into.
*. Look for a pin
*. There are five wires in this white big plug
*. Press each wire’ s pin, then the pin will out of white big plug.

I had thought I got bike conversion kit to work but there just is not enough room to to secure the nut properly. Please let me know what will be the best way to have this resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience on this.

Add washer or torque arm or lock washer.

electric hub motor power cut out and nothing powers up

Posted by on March 31, 2025 No comments

Did you ride it or never ride your electric bike?
1. If never ride,please check if has “-O-“ on the top/middle of LCD screen.. if have, just make brake levers be back or disconnect brake lever’s plug.. then “-O-“ will off, throttle will work.
2. If have ridden 1-2 times,suddenly hub motor Not work.. please smell electric bike motor controller,if has smell from electric bike motor controller.

3. Also, disconnect throttle,brake lever’s plugs from electric motor controller, always press “down” button from LCD, if LCD screen display a “walk person”, aslo hub motor works as walk speed.

This may have helped a little since the hub motor wheel is spinning smooth again, but the unit will still not turn on. Twisting the throttle still does not spin the wheel and the LCD screen still does not power on.

I saw that you left a post on your website about using a volt meter to test the electric bike battery, hub motor, and bike motor controller. I can use mine to test these to help see where the issue might be.

I have not rode it, but the LCD and hub motor only ever turned on once. As soon as I spun the throttle, everything shut off. The LCD does not turn on at all.

I think I sent this video before which shows the wheel slightly spinning, then it just stops. It has not turned.

But right before I did this, the hub motor wheel did spin for a longer time, but the bike motor wheel did not spin smoothly. Then when I tried to show you what was happening in the video, all of the power cut out and nothing powers up.

I used the voltmeter and connected it to the black and red wire from the battery, it says 53V as expected.

Question about 26 inch 36v 750w rear hub motor – bike conversion kit

Posted by on March 31, 2025 No comments

Question about 26 inch 36v 750w rear hub motor bike conversion kit
1. Is the 750 watt hub motor good bike conversion kit for hill climbing? If not what would you recommend?
2. Is the electric bike motor controller current limit set to keep from burning out the hub motor when loaded?
3. I see the hub motor spec sheet is quite old 2013. Is there an up to date one?
4. What is the full old current of the motor at rated N-M load or torque?
5. Any service places for your parts in the US?
6. What size electric bike battery is recommended for your motor and controller? 36v 15ah?

1.We can make hub motor with low speed,will good for hill up.
2.Hub motor controller max 26A,so that electric bike motor max 26A
3,4.Only tell us max speed,we can customize motor…lower speed,stronger torque
5.no service place now
6.recommend 36v 15ah or more ah

Yes, I would like a lower rpm hub motor for hill up if the cost of the bike conversion kit does not change. Maybe 25 mile hour max speed flat ground or about 311 RPM. What would you recommend? What do you have that is close to that?
I need to order shortly to not miss the special on shipping that is coming to an end on Dec 28th.

Yes.We have.
When you order,only leave message: 25mph or about 311 RPM.
Then we can make this hub motor as your message.

Would it be possible to get the hub motor data for this different motor like you have on your other motors? I really like that data as I can see what the electric bike motor is capable of.

I don’t understand this phrase “Mechanical brake: Default Disk or V (If need to install drum brake,please tell us in advance)

I have not heard of drum brakes on a bicycle. I don’t have disk brakes right now but would prefer the motor be capable of adding that even though I have V brakes on the bike right now. So what should I ask for?

I forgot to add that I don’t want a geared 26 inch electric bike motor wheel. the gears are plastic and won’t last long on the hills. I hope that does not cause a problem.
