The issue about 250W hub motor electric bike kit

Posted by on March 8, 2025 No comments

Bought 1 set of electric bike kit from one supplier in China two months ago. Sent more than 10 emails, haven’t gotten any reply. I met below issue, hope solve it.

When I was riding my electric bike three weeks ago, the 250w mini front hub motor suddenly started to make a strange and strong noise. If I try to turn the twist throttle on when the e-bike doesn’t have any load, I keep the hub motor wheel in the air. The electric bike motor works fine and electric bike kit does not make any noise.

However, if I try riding my electric bike and turning the throttle on, the electric bike motor starts making a strong and continuous noise. I tried to riding my bike keeping the brakes continuously pressed and any noise appears so it seems to be some electric problem. It is very strange and I am so much worried.

I took off electric bike kit wheel and used screwdriver to disconnect six screw nuts, took apart hub motor cover and found there was a rotor-winding, two bearings, three sets of 42-gear, 1 set of 21-gear on the axis, 1 set of 81-gear on the hub. There wasn’t any impurity inside the hub motor. Re-install and test electric bike motor wheel, still have the same problem. Don’t know what’s the problem.

Contact my supplier many times and can’t get any reply. I looked for answers by google, yahoo and bike forums, still can’t find the correct answer. Yesterday I got a message from my US friend about there was a company, leaf motor can help me. So I sent an email to leaf motor.

Surprisingly just half an hour past, leafmotor replied me and asked me to check the bearings. How to check hub motor bearing? Take off two bearings from axis, and use little finger to hold inside of bearing, the other hand to turn bearing, faster, better. If you can hear some noise from bearing that can confirm the problem comes from electric bike motor ‘s bearing. At last, I found there was a bearing was broken. According as the bearing model, I bought two new ones in market and replaced them.

Test electric bike kit wheel in the air, no noise. Brake hub motor wheel, still no noise. Nice, Have solved it.

I should thank leaf motor that help me and I found fun through repairing electric bike motor. Now I decide to buy leaf ‘s electric bike kit if I have need and will recommend my friends to order leafmotor’s electric bike motor, bike kit…

Though I haven’t ordered any goods from leafmotor by now. But they are very professional, has best service and believe they have high quality products.

The issue about electric bike battery for bike kit

Posted by on March 8, 2025 No comments

We purchased an electric bike kit including motor controller, hub motor wheel, throttle, brake lever and with 36V 12AH 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. Then we use 110-230Ac charger to charge this electric bike battery and full charged it. After test, we found this hub motor wheel is still lasted for around 8km.

We use a amp meter in series to electric bike kit system, powered on and rode it. We got the current is about 5A. The RPM is 257RM. We use 26 inch 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 12Ah battery, per hour lost 8ah.We can use 1.5 hours.
See below formula:
12Ah ÷ 8ah/per hour= 1.5hours

We think full charge this electric bike battery per time, the hub motor wheel can run about max 48 km. 32km/per hour × 1.5 hours = 48 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 lithium 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.

We are angry with our supplier, sent them many emails and no any reply.
Thank you, leaf motor. Help us found the electric bike battery ‘s problem. We are going to order leaf’s products in near future.

electric bike kit doesn’t work…
Q:Help me! my electric bike kit doesn’t work. Then I turn on the key on the battery the 3 lights on the thumb throttle starts to light. then I press the thumb throttle the motor make a small noise 1 second and doesn’t work. The 3 lights doesn’t light anymore until about 30 seconds later.
I haven’t installed the PAS. Do I have to do that before the bike will be able to spin?
A:Don’t worry.
Could you take a photo with your wires how to connect about your electric bike kit?
1.Non’t connect eight wires(5 hall+3 motor) of motor,turn the motor with your hand.If it runs freely means the motor is good.
2.Then try electric bike kit again
1).disconnect the cruise green connector(green and blue wires)
2).check the throttle connector,make three wires are connected well.(red -red,black-black,green-white) or you could use another twist throttle to replace this.
3).make sure the connector of the battery positive is good.
Q:I disconnect the wires to the motor and the wheel run freely. I connect again.

I disconnect cruise control (green and blue)
I check throttle wires, okay
I check battery wires
I turn on the battery with the key and press the throttle but there is no difference. (It doesn’t work)
I remove the thumb throttle and replace it with the twist throttle , but it still doesn’t work.
I connect the cruise control but its still doesn’t work.
A:Is your thin red battery wire(power switch) connected okay,this wire means a lock,if you connect this wire to battery +,it will make the motor run.
If this isn’t connected well,electric bike kit can’t work.
Q:I took a look at the thin red wire (power switch) that is connected to the bigger red wire labeled +. It look good and has no loose ends.

36V 500W / 36V 750W brushless motor controller

Posted by on March 8, 2025 No comments

DC motor controller has two types:brushed & brushless controller.
The principle of brushed motor controller is much simple.But brushless motor controller should control brushless motor phase,limit starting current,control speed,PWM control etc.
MOSFET is an important part of controller.More MOSFET,controller is more expensive.
Generally 6-MOSFET brushless controller is used to control 36V 250W bldc hub motor.
36V 750W brushless motor should be controlled by 12-MOSFET controller.
Now we use 15-MOSFET to control 48V 1000W brushless motor.

battery level

Posted by on March 8, 2025 No comments

Q:small detail. lights of the twist is on but i run motor until battery come dead then the lights all together come off there is no color change when battery get lower

Answer 1:
yeah,seems it can’t display correct.
My 26″ rear wheel 48V 1000W electric bike kit,48V twist throttle with gauge
Power on 48V li battery,three leds(green,yellow,red) be on.
I ride for a long distance last time.Three leds still be on together.I thought it still could run more.After ten minutes later,green led was off.Only yellow and red leds be on and climb a steep hill,the bldc motor stopped.Turn off,then turn on,still can run.But it would stop at once.

Answer 2:
My 26″ 36V 250W bike kit with LCD display.
Though my throttle also has this battery level,I never notice it.
That LCD is really good,can display the voltage of battery,speed,mileage etc correctly.

Answer 3:
This battery level on throttle was designed as the voltage of lead acid.
1.More than 48V,green,yellow,red three leds all ON.
2.From 47V~48V,green OFF,yellow and red ON.
3.Below 47V,only red ON.

48V Battery Full charged G/OFF discharging R/ON discharged
Lead-acid 54V>48V(G,R,Y ON) 47V~48V(G/OFF) <47V(Only red on) LiMn2O4 54V>48V(G,R,Y ON) 47V~48V(G/OFF) <47V(Only red on) LiFePO4 60V>48V(G,R,Y ON) 47V~48V(G/OFF) <47V(Only red ON) When the voltage drops at 47V. 1.Lead acid still can work normal. 2.LiMn2O4 and LiFeO4 are hard to work,it can't supply large current,BMS will stop cells working.For example:the voltage of li battery is 48V,still climb the steep hill,green led will be off at once,after about 10s,yellow led will be off,only red led ON. Answer 4:
Never see this battery level.I will charge battery after running 30miles when it’s new.
Now I should charger it earlier.

Answer 5:
My bike kit works with 48V lead-acid battery,no problem.I will charge it when the green led is off.

Answer 6:
It’s a pity,this lcd can’t work with 36V 750W brushless controller.

Answer 7:
I found good led light,it can display battery gauge.

Answer 8:
My 250w electric bike kit working with lcd.

Answer 9:
Nice lcd and lights,but can’t find these lights shown on leafmotor’s website.

Answer 10:
I found a li battery on leafmotor’s website.It has gauge on battery shell.

Answer 11:
These green,yellow,red three leds on throttle only display approximately,if need to know exact battery gauge,I think had better to order LCD.

26 inch 36V 250W rear hub motor electric bike kit

Posted by on February 22, 2025 Comments Off on 26 inch 36V 250W rear hub motor electric bike kit

Q:Does Item Number:LBCK263250R hub motor kit have throttle only option? Also does it have motor cutoff brake sensors?

A:This Item hub motor kit works with throttle or pedal assist or both of them.
Come with brake lever with cut off function. But not come with cut off brake sensors.
We have brake sensors on our site.
https://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-bike-parts/hydraulic-mechanical-brake-cut-off-sensor-switch-cable-1213.html

Q:What’s the difference with brake levers with cut off function verse brake cut off sensor?

A:The same.
If you don’t use our brake lever, prefer yourself brake lever, can install this cut off sensor.
If use our brake lever, don’t use this cut off sensor.

Q:Okay.I understood thank you
I’m thinking about the rear 250w hub motor or the rear 350w hub motor.
I like the smaller display that the 250 has. If I get the 350 watt bike motor kit can I ask for the smaller display that comes with the 250?
Also I have a 7 speed cassette will both these motors work?

A:Yes. We have smaller LCD that can work this 250w or 350w controller.For example: LCD-07U, LCD-005 or LCD-004
Can make cassette version motor. But, should tell us after paid. (Default: fit for 7 speed freewheel sprocket)

Q:Can you help me further?
I have a Electra townie bike.
The tires are 26 inch with cruiser size tires(not fat tire) but they are the 2.125 size. My bike also has linear pull brakes, not disc brakes.
The 350 and 250 watt hub motors all sit tires sizes too small and I don’t see any that accept rim brakes
I want to add a 250 or 350 watt rear hub motor to this bike.

A:When you order, leave message: 26 x 2.125 tire.
Then we use the other 26 inch rim
https://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-bike-parts/26-inch-e-bike-rim-1094.html
All of our rims can accept rim brakes.

Q:What I am clear on is that you have bike motor kits for rim brakes. You have kits for my tire size. Thank you for answering those. I do have free wheel and its shifted with a 7 speed cassette

My remaining questions are:
1. I need a freewheel with a seven speed or a freewheel that can accept my cogs.from my existing wheel. Do I just state this in the comments?
2. I am trying to decide between the 350w and 250w rear bike motor kit. LBCK2636350RG and LBCK2636250R.
3. Does the 250w hub motor kit also have pedal assist?
4. Does the 250w hub motor kit also have the cruise control feature?
5. Do they use the same controller?
6. I like the display on the 250w bike motor kit. If I get that with the 350w bike motor kit will i lose any features?
7. Can i have a thumb throttle instead of the twist throttle?

A:1. This hub motor kit can work with standard size 7 speed freewheel or 1 speed cog.
3. both have pedal assist function
4. both have cruise control
5. Different controller
6. 350w also have that display. (Just tell us what kind of LCD)
7. Yes, can use thumb throttle. We can ship thumb throttle.
