18 inch gearless brushless hub motor for electric bike

Posted by on April 2, 2025 No comments

I am interested in the 18 inch rear gearless bldc hub motor provided by leaf bike company and I had a few questions about the hub motor.

1) What is the rated torque?
2) What is the maximum torque?
3) How many poles are there in this hub motor?
4) Does it contain any brakes? If so, what type? (Disc/Drum/V-brake)
5) Does it contain hall sensors? If so, How many and what is their description?
6) Most importantly, is this motor a brushless dc motor (BLDC) or a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)? This greatly affects my choice, as both types are sometimes very close to each other, so I needed verification on what type it was.
7) Does it have a waterproof gradient?
8) Dimensions: I had an issue with the dimensions listed in the description compared to dimensions in the drawing for the motor on Leaf Motor site. I am actually looking for a motor that is around 16 inches, however, I chose the 18 inches because the image for the 18 inches shows the diameter being 372 mm which is equal to around 14.6 inches, which isn’t 16 inches but is very close. The diameter of the electric bike motor is crucial for my wheel choices and so clarifying what the actual diameter of this motor would be very helpful, I can’t risk not being sure of the dimensions as I am currently designing the vehicle and need to be very accurate, and that’s why a professional mechanic is needed specialized in this kind of vehicle, because sometimes people think a person who’s good with cars will be good at bikes too.
9)Does this motor support regenerative braking?
10) What is the back EMF of this motor?
Finally, I would like to apologize if these are too many questions but I am in need of the maximum clarifications I can get to be as precise, so any information you can provide will help me on my quest to find the best. I will be forever grateful for your help.

I want to purchase one of leaf hub motor kits

Posted by on April 2, 2025 No comments

I have done a lot of research and leaf motor and services keep coming up as a fine choice.

My original choice was the 3000 watt hub motor but I have already spent a lot of money on the electric bike and so that will have to come later but from what I have read this one may do just fine.

I currently run a 6T hub motor with a 48V 20A battery pack in a GT bike frame I build a few years ago and really like the way the hub motor runs but would like more speed so I ordered a new Raptor 76r frame and plan on using leaf motor in that setup so my questions are as follows:

The frame has 150mm dropouts in the rear.
From the previous build I already have a premium 48V 20A rated up to 50A output lithium battery pack that I paid 900.00 to have built so I will have to base the new hub motor and brushless controller around this for now.

AT first I was just going to get the 26 inch 1500 watt 4T leaf hub motor kit but then read it was better to have these in the 17” or 19” motor rim for this frame

Do you offer the hub motor with the 150mm axle?

I want this to run at close 40mph / 60kph the 4T should do that but I also would like the upgraded controller over the standard. What is the best motor controller you offer with the 1500 watt motor?

I also noticed you had a 2000 watt motor in the motorcycle section. Is this hub motor available for the bicycle kit and what are the specs on it?

What controller does the 2000 watt motor use?

I am going to buy at least 2 of these. One in the next week +a bare spare and another in a month or so and then probably 2 or 3 after that. I have several friends that want a bike like mine so after I get mine done will be building theirs as well.

At the least I will order the standard 1500 watt hub motor kit in either the 26 or 24 or 20 rim and then I will just pick up a spare bare hub motor and lace the rim myself.

48V 1000W 1500W rear hub motor for 20 inch or 24 26 27.5 700c 28 29 inch

Do you have a more detailed drawing for dimensions of the 48V 1000W,1500W rear hub motor? I am particularly interested in the dimension I marked “A” so I can be sure the brake rotor disc will fit correctly.

The drawing from your web site shows the left side of the hub motor on the right side of the drawing. Also, in the video the hub motor is installed backwards and the rear derailleur is just hanging off the bike on the cable. Very confusing, but eventually I understood that the person who installed your hub motor on the bike put the motor in backwards, with the wire coming out the right side even though your specifications say the wire comes out the left side.

I suggest that you make all of your drawings, pictures, and video consistent left to right, because they are presently mixed up.

Here is an example of a drawing that is correct left versus right and has all the dimensions a bicycle builder needs to be confident the motor will fit the bicycle.

If I order with a free hub to use a cassette is the free hub body replaceable?

Does it look something like this?

Do you have a part number or a link for the replacement free hub and cassette for that motor?

Thank you very much for all the information, I really like this hub motor but I need to make sure it will fit and work well for my bike.

48V 1000W-1500W-2000W, 36V 250W-500W-750W, 24V 250W Motor controllers with LCD-003 from Leaf Bike are used to drive 8-9-10-12-13-14-16-17-18-20-22-24-26-27.5-700C-28-29er inch hub motor bike wheels.

How to set max speed?
If you feel 20 inch or 24 inch,26 inch, 700c, 28 inch, 29 inch hub motor kit is too fast,please set it to be low speed.
* Press “sw/middle button” from LCD more than 2 seconds,then LCD will display.
* Press “up & down button” together more than 2 sconds until 72 is flashing ( 72 is kmh, if you hope works 20mph / 32kmh, press “down” to be 32)
* Press “sw/middle” button one time to save,then 24 is flashing.. (24 is hub motor wheel size. Don’t set)
* Press “sw/middle” button one time to save,then kmh or mph is flashing..
* Press “sw/middle” button one time to save,then press “sw/middle” button more than 2 seconds until be back.

Turn throttle,motor will work max speed as your setting.

—————
There is a “ 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 or 0” on the Left side of LCD.
* Be “0” – throttle & pedal assist NOT work.
* Be “1” – throttle works (If install pedal assist, pedal about 3 circels,then can drive motor to work)
* Be “2” – throttle works (If install pedal assist, pedal about 2.5 circels,then can drive motor to work)
* Be “3” – throttle works (If install pedal assist, pedal about 2 circels,then can drive motor to work)
* Be “4” – throttle works (If install pedal assist, pedal about 1.5 circels,then can drive motor to work)
* Be “5” – throttle works (If install pedal assist, pedal about 1 circels,then can drive motor to work)

If NOT install that pedal assist,ONLY use throttle to drive motor. But Should be 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5.(Be 0,turn off throttle)

——————————–
How to use three button switch?
1.We cut off that blue wire.It’s for reverse. If reconnect this blue wire.
This yellow button be left / middle,29 inch bike motor kit works forward. Be right side,hub motor works bacwkard / reverse…

2.Green button is used to control cruise, while electric bike motor is running,also over some speed,example: over 1/3 max speed,at this time,press green button one time,then loose throttle,LCD display “C”,motor will works the same speed. Re-press this green button one time or press brake lever or turn throttle to max, electric bike motor will stop.

3.Red button be up,regen on. Be down,regen off. This regen is not strong.Only while braking with a little regen.

Questions regarding your DIY conversion kits

Posted by on April 2, 2025 No comments

Q:I assume your electric hub motor bike conversion kits are speed limited, consider for example your 250W 36V hub motor bike conversion kits. Usually it seems the speed limit it set to something like 25 kmph, or so.

I building a custom bicycle and I am interested in knowing if this speed limit can be configured to be higher. I guess I am thinking this possibly is the case if one can simply enter a lower wheel size when configuring the controller. Could this be there case, or is there may be some other way to do this using your kit?

Also, are you by any chance the same company as leaf bike? And if so, does this answer also apply to the e-bike conversion kits sold under that name, e.g. their 250 W 24 V conversion kits?

A: Yes, our controller has speed limit.
There is max speed display on our leafbike.com site.
We set LCD as wheel size.For 12inch,14inch,16inch,18inch,20inch,24inch,26inch,27inch,27.5inch,700c,28inch and 29 inch..
For example: our site write: max 70kmh ( You can limit max speed under 70kmh,from min 6kmh to max 70kmh)
our site write: max 24kmh ( You can limit max speed under 24kmh,from min 6kmh to max 24kmh)

Q: Thanks for the info. Just so that I understand correctly, let me ask these questions:

For example, considering your DIY e-bike kit 700c hub motor kit front wheel, Item ID #LBCK700C24250FM”. Our your web-site, says that it is speed limited to 36.1 kmh (actually used to say something like 25 kmh, you increased it?). Though this speed seems sufficient (now) I still wonder if I can modify this speed limit in some way. Say, if I configure the controller to a wheel size smaller than 700c. If that it possible I am thinking the max speed would be increased. Is that something that is user configurable, or it is hard coded into the controller that it is for a 700c wheel?

Is it also maybe the case that the controller that one get if one buys, say , this kit also works with some more powerful motors? But maybe it is limited to the operating voltage of 24 V?

Do you have recommendations as to if one should go with, say, a 24V or a 36V system?

Finally, I note on the web-site I list above, seems that you are showing the motor performance table for a 36V motor. Could it be that it should show the performance of the attached motor data for a 24V motor?

Just another question here.

For your 36V 250W front wheel DIY kit, the max speed is listed as 26.3 kmh or 16.4 mph. This seems that it can be a bit limiting for some jurisdictions. Is it maybe the case that you have increased this max speed also to 36.1 kmh as listed for the 24V version? And, also, here, can I configure it for a lower bike speed to make it go faster or is there some other way to increase this speed limit?

By the way, I see the advantage with the 36 V systems. You get more watt-hours in your battery. Seems like better choice for my use case.
