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.

48V 52 V 2000W motor kit

Posted by on August 29, 2023 Comments Off on 48V 52 V 2000W motor kit

Q: The 2000w bike conversion kit arrived safe and sound. I wonder if you would explain to me some of the wire connectors are for. What I should set
-U02 Power Watt Max  1000W default or 2000W hub motor
-U03 What is power gear? Saved, Gear 1,2…
-P07 Speed magnet number?24 ,36,48?
-P14 Current Limit? 30A-40A?
After I install the brake Cut off sensor I have E2 error what wrong
What are 2 blue wire connector for? 2  5 Pin connector  at motor I use either one They work fine So what is the extra 5 pin connector for?
Please help me to make it work right.
The speed I got 86 kmh on 48V 15ah battery

A: U02 – You can set it as your hub motor power  (Don’t set)
U03 – Don’t set
P07 — 46
P14 — You can set 30A or 40A.  (Less current is bigger for controller) You can set 30A first, then ride or uphill, if good. That’s good. If not good for uphill, set it to 40A.
 
E2 – Your brake lever or sensor is braking. (Cut off motor power, at this time, motor can’t work)
 
Two blue wires are used for:  look for phase wire, look for correct working way.  If can’t work. Connect these blue wires together. Controller can look for right working way by itself.
 
5 pin extra — 2 sets of 5 pin extra are the same.  They are connected to 2 sets of hall sensors. If one hall is broken,motor can’t work. 
Just use the other 5 pin plug then can solve motor hall issue.

Q：Would you help me with the E7 error code after 2 blue wire connected
Is the hub motor failed? After connect 2 blue wire together I got E7 and motor stopped working. I worked fine I got 90kmh after I follow your instruction.
So what now?
The hub Motor and the speed controller work fine so far just a minor issue with the light wire (red+black)from the controller that does not work
when I connect it with my e bike rear light ,and there are 2 wires (red+white) from display What are they for?
Would you help me with bike conversion kit. If I succeed to upgrade my e bike I may do upgrade for my friends.
I will properly need you with more orders.
It worked now. THANKS

Q: I would like to purchase a 27.5″ electric hub motor kit that fits in 135mm dropouts and I have a 72v (20s) battery capable of 80A continuous that I would like to use.  Several questions please:
A. Can I buy a 27.5″, Freewheel, Rear, Wide Rim, kit that fits in 135mm dropouts with the “2000W ~ 5000W programmable controller” instead of the controller that normally comes with the hub motor kit and if yes, what would the total price of the hub motor kit be before shipping cost are added?
B. What is the internal width of the widest 27.5″ rim you have available?
C. Can I get the 5mm phase wires with the motor configuration I specified in “A.” above?  If yes, how much would it change the price?  If no, what are the largest diameter phase wires I could get?
D. Do all Direct Drive Leaf motors now use the .035″ thick laminations?  I would definitely want them. 

A: A. 135mm dropout – max make 48v 1500w rear bike motor,see below drawing. no room to make 2000w motor. (This 48v 1500w motor with 3mm phase wire can work with 48v or 52v or max 60v)
https://www.leafbike.com/u_file/2301/01/photo/1500w-rear-bike-motor-drawing_53f4287594.jpg 

     But, if no freewheel, not pedal, can make it to be 48v 2000w front bike motor(see below drawing) that fit for 135mm dropout and can use “2000w~5000w programmable controller”
This 48v 2000w motor with 6mm phase wire can work with 48v or 52v or 60 or 72v batteries.
https://www.leafbike.com/u_file/2301/07/photo/2000w-front-beach-snow-fat-bike-motor-drawing_bbdbc1e4ce.jpg 

We have three kinds of 27.5 inch rim, one is 23mm width, the other two is 25mm and 32mm width.   (Max 32mm width)

If 26 inch, we have 25mm, 32mm, 80mm width rims.

B. Our 27.5 inch 32mm width rim, internal width is 25mm

C. 48v 2000w can use 5mm or 6mm phase wires.  (But 48v 1500w max use 3mm phase wires.

D.  All of our motors use .035″ thick laminations

Q:
Two more question regarding the “48v 1500w rear bike motor” phase wires:

29 inch electric hub motor kit

Posted by on April 12, 2023 Comments Off on 29 inch electric hub motor kit

Q: If I buy 29 inch electric hub motor kit, for the real wheel, will the cassette of back wheel fit together with the our wheel? Cassette i mean the component, where the chain goes to change speeds. I am afraid the motor plus the cassette will not fit the bike. Our electric motor kit, fits 29inch x 1.95 but does it fit 29inch x 1.35?
I am interested in buying a new bike and adapt it because if will be have a better cost/performance/quality ratio, than buying strait electric bicycle. This what I am interested in,it is a carbon fiber frame 2k, their cheapest electric mountain bike was an allow frame, 400w motor and costs 2.7k, so plus 700 dollars, allow frame and only 400w compared with ours kit.

A: Not comes with cassette. It’s standard size. ONLY 7 speed cassette fit for our hub motor. Our 29 inch motor wheel is fit for 29 x 1.95″ tire and 135mm dropout.

Q: I can buy the front wheel kit instead, few months from, still need to buy the bike first.

A: Front wheel kit is also good.

Q: https://www.leafbike.com/products/diy-bike-conversion-kit/29-inch-48v-52v-1500w-rear-wheel-electric-hub-motor-kit-1065.html
Does this kit come with battery? Also ” Freewheel / Cassette: space for single speed..6 speed or max 7 speed”
I want the version sprocket with cassette not freewheel.
Can you tell me the size off the sprocket?
The cassette from the bike i want is 40.9mm and 12speed, just 8 or 9 mm more than the standard 7 speed cassette.

A: Not come with battery. Cassette is standard size. As we knows,only one. Ours is fit for 7 speed. Not fit for other 6 speed.

Q: If I know the exact size of the sprocket i know if the cassette will fit, in the kit, if not i can put the motor on the front wheel, which fits the sizes?

A: But it’s not fit for 135mm dropout，install 7 speed on this motor. Your dropout should be 137mm.If 12 speed.Your dropout should be more than 145mm.Mount bike,max 7 speed. 7 speed is fit for your rear fork. This rear motor isn’t fit for front.

BMX 20 inch 1500W rear hub motor kit

Posted by on October 17, 2022 Comments Off on BMX 20 inch 1500W rear hub motor kit

Q: I will be purchasing the your BMX 1500W rear hub motor kit. Before I go ahead could you please help with the following information.

1. What is the expected delivery time to the UK with the current covid 19 pandemic in the UK in terms courier entry to the UK?

2. What amp battery would I require?

3. Would my Saracen amplitude (steel frame) need re-enforcing to handle the power? ……In your opinion as I understand this is a difficult question to answer. 

A: 1. about 10 days now. (It’s faster than last month)
2. 40amp or 50amp battery
3. if install hub motor on frame very strong,very well..No looseness — No problem (We will make wheel works in the line. Shake is less than 0.5mm from left & right.. shake is less than 1mm from up to down)

Q: Okay well my best option is to purchase a customized battery from you, as you best know the requirements for the kit you sold me…..

1. For clarity the following battery is the product I need to order? – 
52V 12ah lithium battery –
Item ID #LBB521B
£335.75?
& You will customize as per your knowledge of my requirements?

1b. This battery is designed to attach to the Bottle holder screws I believe? As it’s being attached to the Top Bar of the BMX (under the riders knees) laying from back to front of bike,  A BMX does not have these bottle holder screws.
 
Do you sell a bracket that I can use to attach the battery without using Bottle holder screws? 

Or know if possible to add those type of screws to the frame of my BMX?

2. Also my precious kit purchase added around £150 for important fees…..
Will this battery have added import fees? —as not added until final till checkout on site. 

3. Do you sell a Torque arm that is compatible with my BMX hub because I want to further secure the wheel hub to the frame? 

4. Could you offer my any additional discount? on battery and (Torque arm + battery bracket if you can supply) as offering repeat business associated with Hub purchase. 

Thank you for excellent customer service I will be sure to leave an amazing Review on your website. 

20 inch 48v 52v front hub motor diy bike conversion kits question

Posted by on October 16, 2022 Comments Off on 20 inch 48v 52v front hub motor diy bike conversion kits question

Q: Hello! I have been viewing your various 20″ 48v/52v front hub motor diy bike conversion kits and I have a couple of questions.

1) Is there a way to install a disc brake rotor somehow next to the hub motor and still function properly? If so, can you tell me maximum rotor size allowed for these kits?

2) What type of battery would you recommend for a 48v/52v front hub motor kit like this?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance regarding this matter. 

A: 1.) Can install a disk on this 20 inch 1000w or 1500w front hub motor… but the front dropout should be 105mm or 110mm..
    Standard front dropout is about 100mm..

So if the dropout can’t be larger, can’t use disk on front motor.

2.) We recommend 52v 20ah lithium battery.
https://www.leafbike.com/products/lithium-battery/52v-20ah-1500w-electric-bike-battery-triangle-battery-1225.html

Q: Thank you very much for your quick response. Do you know what the maximum disc brake rotor size I would be allowed to install next to motor? Thank you again.

A: We installed max 160mm

Below picture. 
The dia. of two holes for disk is 44m…
If your 180mm 203mm,  aslo 44mm… You can install 180mm, 203mm disk

Q:
I forgot to ask you one last thing before making a final decision on a front hub motor kit. I know you said you are not able to ship the recommended 52v 20ah battery to Japan, but can you recommend a charger to go with this type of battery? Thank you again for all of your help and assistance. 

I just noticed the charger that comes with the 52v 20ah li battery, so I can look for battery/charger here in Japan. But, do you have in stock just the frame bag for holding this type of battery?
