Extra wiring connector after install completion

Posted by on March 13, 2025 No comments

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?

Check your hub motor wheel – electric bike kit

Posted by on March 13, 2025 No comments

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.

BLDC hub motor bike conversion kit works

Posted by on March 13, 2025 No comments

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…

These days 250w hub motor wheels are popular with European. Nearly all of hub bike motor are brushless geared. Because there are several gears inside hub. It has more powerful than 250w brushless geared motor.
Order 1 set 12″ 14″ 16″ 18″ 20″ 24″ 26″ 700c 27.5(650) 27″ 28″ 29 inch hub motor electric bike conversion 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? There are some differences with brushless freewheel hub motor.

Step 1: winding
Calculate motor power, speed RPM and confirm what type of copper wire would you use, wind copper wires by handwork or machine, each notch should be separated by insulating paper so that not shot circuit between the coil. 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.

Step 2: fix axis into motor
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 3: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 4:press gear into hub
Use presser to press steel 90-gear into hub. This hub with one side cover.

Step 5:fix three gears
Use retainer ring and key to fix three white nylon gears on one steel 21-gear.

Step 6:fix magnet
Fix magnet inside the hoops.

Step 7:install rotor winding into this magnet hoops.

Step 8:install there gears on the axis of this rotor winding and put inside of hub with 90-gears.

Step 9:install the other cover.
Use screw driver to tight screw nuts. Done it.

Power on battery and use bldc motor controller to drive this hub motor. If no any strange noise. It’s okay.Then according as the size of your bike to fit this geared spoke hub motor to 20″ 24″ 26″ 27.5″ 700c 27″ 28″ and 29 inch bike kit wheel.

Leaf hub motor bike kit is working

Posted by on March 11, 2025 No comments

Q: The bike conversion kit system is now working.
Still have some questions. It is about the brakes.
If we take the red and black wires from the scooter brakes and connect in parallel to the connection of the new hub motor controller, will this have a negative effect on the controllers? My friend thinks that this should not be a problem since this only brakes a circuit.

A: About that brake has two types.ONE is high voltage to brake.The other is low voltage to brake.
Ours is low voltage to brake,you should check your old hub motor controller whether that is low voltage to brake.
If you have volt-meter,you could get about 5V from red and black wires from your old hub motor controller.If it’s 5V. That’s no problem.

Q: We finally got the chance to try the new bike conversion kit wheel after doing all the modifications except for the front brake which we still have to modify.

We have a new problem and I need your expertise. I tested the bike conversion kit wheel up the hill and on its own (without using the rear wheel motor). It went up the hill at about 17 km/hr……..which I think it is satisfactory.

However when I took it up a steeper but very short incline which is on my way home, the fuse connected to the batteries got blown and lost power (no electricity).

The fuse is gauged at 10A. What should I do to avoid blowing out the fuse? If I change the fuse to a different amperage, will this have negative consequences for the rear motor? Do you suggest anything different?

As always, appreciate your assistance.

A: When up the hill,the current will reach about 15A.If too steep hill,it will reach more than 20A.
20A-30A current is easy to break controller.
Sometimes 15A continuous current for about half an hour also can break controller that’s because of too hot will break hub motor controller’s MOSFET.

We suggest:
* Cool controller is important.
* When you up hill,use two hub motors.On the flat road,use one motor.

Our hub motor bike conversion kit can’t get any problem when your up any hill.But should cool controller.

Use 15A-20A fuse.Had better to use 15A.But if use 20A fuse,climb hill has more power.But we worry controller.

E-bike with electric bike kit almost done, but..

Posted by on March 11, 2025 No comments

E-bike with electric bike kit almost done, please help with final issue: Throttle

Q:I am almost done with electric bike kit, everything is okay except the throttle is not working. I connected the old throttle from my old e-bike, it’s connections fits the lcc-001 controller.But as I connect it, the motor doesn’t run at all.
What kind of throttle is to be connected to this controller to achieve speed control from 0 to full speed: meter type or Hall Effect type?
My current throttle is 3 wired connected to a very small chip, which is moving along a magnet.

Answer 1:Please check three-pin throttle connector.

Answer 2:Disconnect and re-connect these two connectors.Check male-female connector and pins.
If still not work,buy a new throttle or use a meter to replace.

Answer 3:Make your electric bike kit wheel in the air,short red and green wires(3-pin throttle connector on controller).
Power on battery,motor will run as the fastest speed at once.
If not,it’s not throttle issue.

Answer 4:Yeah,jump red and green wires.If your system is no problem,e-bike can run at once.
Make sure your electric bike kit wheel in the air.

Answer 5:You had better to cut off three-pin throttle connector.Then connect wires as below:
Throttle —– Controller
red —– red
black —– black
white —– green

If you have volt-meter,pls power on,then test voltage from controller throttle connector.
1.red and black is about 4.5V
2.green and black is about 2.3V

Make a jumper between red and green,the electric bike kit wheel will run at once.

Done following above,if no any voltage and still no work.Please replace controller.

Q:Thanks all,I dis-connected throttle connector and found green and white wires didn’t touch well.Re-made a new throttle connector,supply power,electric bike works without any noise.Prefer leafmotor’s electric bike kit.

20 inch 36V 250W front hub motor – electric bike conversion kit

Posted by on March 11, 2025 No comments

Q: We are interested in leaf 20 inch 36v 250w front hub motor – electric bike kit. Item ID #LBCK2036250F
When I buy this electric bike conversion kit . I saw picture full Twist (Twist throttle No battery gauge), please can you change to half Twist? I want this Half Twist. My DAHAN will work match washer + front hub the 100mm fork and disk? See link info the DAHAN how look Hope help.

A: This bike conversion kit doesn’t need battery gauge, because LCD can display battery gauge, we can ship you a half twist throttle to replace this full twist.
If the spacing of your fork is 100mm (picture enclosed),this #LBCK2036250F can work with disk brake.

Q: We will buy this bike conversion kit later. LCD display have MPH? I see this youtube for full max speed 21.7mph which is 36V 10Ah Rack lithium ion OR 36V 8Ah bottle lithium battery?
I think will buy any online for 36V 10Ah Li-ion Water bottle Battery, will super up hall and super run road full 21.7mph?

A: This LCD display KMH, can’t display MPH now. One week later, we will have new LCD controller. This hub motor controller has more function:
 Cruise
 Reverse
 Regen brake
 Mph / kmh
 Pedal assist ( 1 – 5 )
 …

This old hub motor controller work with this 20 inch 36v 250 front hub motor wheel. Max speed:21.7mph (We test use 36v lead acid battery)
36V 10ah Rack lithium or 36V 8ah bottle lithium ion battery both can reach max 21.7mph.

We have 36V 11ah lithium-ion water bottle battery in stock, but we haven’t updated it to leaf site. The difference between them is the bottle size of 36V 11ah higher than 36V 8Ah bottle.

When you use 36V 10ah lithium-ion water bottle battery and ride it, full speed is about 18mph.(21.7mph is no load)

Sure if I would buy the 36V 8ah bottle lithium ion battery can work with 20 inch 36V 250W front hub motor max full 21.7mph and or 24 inch 36V 250W front hub motor max full 26mph? (LBCK2436250F)

My DAHAN Typhoon twin Brake right please find attach see picture, if this e-bike right brake cable can off one, or get right twin brake e-bike?

issue about electric bike kit battery

Posted by on March 10, 2025 No comments

We purchased an electric bike kit including motor controller, hub motor wheel, throttle, brake lever and with 36V 10AH bottle style Lithium Ion electric bike battery that used for testing 36V solar charger from one supplier, not from leaf motor. After charging this electric bike battery for 10 hours by better solar power, full charged, we rode the bike, but hub motor wheel only run about 8km.

We use a ampere meter in series to electric bike kit system, powered on and rode it. We got the current is about 5A. The speed is 257RPM.We use 26” hub motor wheel.

We calculate the speed is about 32Km/per hour.
See below formula:
（3.14×26”×0.0254）× 257RPM × 60 minutes ÷ 1000 (m-Km)=32km

If this is 10Ah battery, per hour lost 8ah.We can use 1.25 hours.
See below formula:
10Ah ÷ 8ah/per hour= 1.25hours

We think full charge this electric bike battery per time, the hub motor wheel can run about max 40 km. 32km/per hour × 1.25 hours = 40 km

There is definitely a problem with this electric bike battery, I’m not sure whether electric bike kit is because of the solar charging or our testing, or if it has a fault. But I need a replacement electric bike battery asap, because we don’t have any more 36v electric bike battery, and we sold 1 set of electric bike kit with lithium battery last week. I think BMS inside this electric bike battery no problem. The problem comes from the li battery cells. Maybe this electric bike battery had stayed in warehouse for a long time and haven’t charged it. It will make the electric bike battery cut down the achieve distances and use life.

So if solve this problem and let my hub motor to work asap, only replace all cells or replace new electric bike battery.

How connect electric hub motor controller wires

Posted by on March 10, 2025 No comments

Q: Now that I understand the purpose of these wires, I need to know exactly how to connect bike conversion kit wires.
1. “you could use a switch(on/off)to short pink and black”
1.1 What kind of switch? Is it included this bike kit or I have to buy it?
1.2 If I have to buy a switch, what are the characteristics of it? How do I connect pink/black wires to the switch?
1.3 If so, do I need to buy additional wires to connect pink/black to the switch? If so – what are the characteristics of it, wire resistance/diameter?
1.4 These pink/black wires are connected to a plastic connector
Do I need to buy another connector to connect my new hub motor ?

2 “use yellow and brown wires coming from the throttle to control your bike kit cruise.”
2.1 Again-how would I do that? Do I need to connect yellow/brown wires somewhere on the hub motor controller, is so – how?
2.2 Please note that these wires don’t have any kind of connector attached – am I suppose to connect them ?

3 “put the green wire to “+” and the grey to “-“, your LED on your throttle will light”
3.1 Where are the “+” and “-” you are referring to? Is it on the battery itself, or controller, or elsewhere? (for example: battery itself doesn’t seem to have open +/- sockets – other than the one used by the supplied cable)
3.2 Can I connect green/grey permanently (so that LED always shows the battery status), if so – how would I connect? Where would I connect them to exactly – controller or battery?
3.3 Again please note that green/grey wires are not attached
to any connector, just “bare” wires, so I don’t understand how can I connect them?
If you have any additional photographs and/or drawings, please share them also. If I need to buy
additional parts – please let me know what they are.

A: Don’t mistake with the positive and cathode of your bike kit battery to hub motor controller.(red and black battery wires).It doesn’t matter about making a mistake with other wires.
Don’t worry. Short any thin wires, it doesn’t burn your controller.
1.Cruise: when your motor is running, connect the pink wire to black wire(use a wire to connect pink and black wire) or you could use your brake lever to test this function. When your brake, it will cruise, when your loose your brake level, it will cancel cruise function.
2.This switch just have on/off function, you could buy other switches in your market
3.You should use a wire to connect bike conversion kit, it doesn’t matter about wire resistance / diameter, is this wire, no current.
4.You could use spare connector: yellow connect pink wire, brown connect black wire (C&Z),when your motor is running, press this red switch, your motor will cruise as the same speed.
Put the green wire to battery “+”
Put the grey wire to battery “-”
The Led will light, try it as I said, it doesn’t burn anything.
In fact, it’s very easy to do it, for example, you could use your
handle brake (two wires) to make a female connector connect any connector (white & black, pink & black)from hub motor controller.
If possible, you could use a software “e-drawing” to open our 3D about this hub motor controller.
