The best answer:the second answer

battery level

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

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.

Other parameters in the display menu, USB outlet behind the display

Greetings, I have received hub motor kit with everything, and am happy with it so far, although I haven’t assembled everything. I have a couple of questions:
In the owner’s manual after the editable functions of “LIM” (speed limit), “DIM” (tire dimensions), “UNIT” (metric or English units), there are 22 other parameters, named P1, P2, etc., C1, C2, etc, L1, L2, etc. What are those for, and can a user edit/change those, or should I leave those alone? I’m curious if one of them is regenerative braking strength in particular.

Also, I see a controller for lights, horn, and maybe turn signals. Is that for a device that you also sell, that does all of those functions, and is powered by the USB outlet I see behind the display on the side? Or is that just a phone charger, or is it just a plug for any light/horn device? Pics attached below if that helps. Thanks for any info, and for what I’m sure will be another great product!

going to order leaf bike conversion kit with lithium battery

Q:Going to order your 20 inch 72v 2500w bike conversion kit and will need a 72v lithium battery. Any recommendations? Like to have one built to these specs: 72v 40a BMS 1000AH

Here’s my Cargo Ebike: Eunorau G30 Orange Cargo Bike to check out the shape of the battery casing.

A: Yes,we can make 72V 18ah lithium battery.
Would you need 1000Ah?

Q: Also, on the 20″ 72v 2500w bike conversion kit, does it have Juliet connectors on all major components? Yes. I want a 1000ah pack.

A: 1000ah? It’s equal to 50 sets of 72v 20ah lithium battery. Your bike can’t carry these lithium batteries.
Your bike max use 72v 50ah.

Q: Ok. I’ll take the 72v 50ah lithium battery and it will lock in same position on the bike correct? 
And have a 40A BMS correct?(the controller in that kit is 40A max)
50ah I can ride for awhile between charges.
How many N.M. of torque does that motor produce?
On the 72v 2500w 20 inch bike conversion kit I also need a 7-speed freewheel. Will you install that as well? Eunorau G30 Orange Cargo Ebike

A: Yes.Can make 72v 50ah.But 3A charger charge battery is too slow.Also,too many cells.
We recommended 2 or 3 sets of 72v 18ah 40A lithium battery.That’s better than 1 set of 72v 50ah 40A

Q: What about 2 sets of 72v 30ah lithium battery?
I know even better 1) 72v 40ah 40a less cells and you can make it to fit in the housing of the frame .

A: Supply you frame size, let me check max can how ah.
We can customize lithium battery size as your frame.

Order 20 inch 48V 2000W front fat hub motor electric bike conversion kit

Order 20 inch 48V 2000W front fat hub motor electric bike conversion kit
Q: I need to order this item Item ID #LBCK20482000FS 20 inch 48V 2000W front fat hub motor electric bike conversion kit and all have to do is install it and it should be ready to go using my 60V 20A lithium battery ? Is it very difficult set up? Will there be instructions on how to set up the LB08HU? Is there an app to connect to the LCD display? Approx time if I order to get it shipped?

Will this this kind of hub motor melt if a heavy biker rides it on a 20% grade steep hills and electric hub motors are a challenge and require a properly sized and adjusted system to avoid overheating. The torque a hub motor can make is related to the physical magnet strength, width, air gap and diameter. The winding arrangement determines the voltage and current to make this torque. I also would like to add a part for better cooling.

Did you get my update info,Please advise if the one you recommend will meet these requirements.

A: This 20 inch 48V 2000W front fat hub motor electric bike conversion kit can work with 60V 20Ah lithium battery.
