I want to purchase one of leaf hub motor kits

Posted by on December 30, 2021 Comments Off on I want to purchase one of leaf hub motor kits

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, 29inch

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.

Posted by on December 29, 2021 Comments Off on Motor controller with LCD-003 from Leaf 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 December 29, 2021 Comments Off on Questions regarding your DIY conversion kits

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.

How to replace winding rotor of hub motor ?

Posted by on December 29, 2021 Comments Off on How to replace winding rotor of hub motor ?

If your hub motor has issue..How to replace winding rotor?
It takes about 10 minutes to replace. Very easy.
Tool: ONLY ONE M4 Inner hexagon spanner
Do it as below / uninstall Disconnect:
1. Disconnect 16 pcs of screw nut from your hub motor (two side) – It takes about 3 minutes to do it.
2. Knock the shaft end (NO cable side) on the ground,then the cover will off from hub – It takes 2 seconds to do it.
3. Two hands hold on hub(Not rim), still knock the shaft end (No cable side) on the ground,then the whole of winding rotor will out of hub.. – It takes 2 seconds to to it.

Do it as below / Install:
1. Put the cover on the hub and put 8 pcs of screw nut on..tight them. – It takes about 2 minutes to do it.
2. Check and make sure no other thing around magnet – It takes 10 seconds to check it.
3. Put the whole of winding rotor into hub – It takes 2 seconds to do it.
4. Put the other 8 pcs of screw nut on – It takes about 2 minutes to do it.

electric bike motor 48v 1000w leaf

Posted by on December 29, 2021 Comments Off on electric bike motor 48v 1000w leaf

Only the electric bike motor. I will not use tire. I will not use rim. I only use 48v 1000w motor.If it works for me I will purchase many of them. (But, yes, I also need the electric motor controller)

Small size is not the only criteria.I seek powerful motor.But the hub motor alone needs to fit in 152mm diameter tube. (no rim needed. It wastes space.)

I have many questions.

I am serious buyer. I don’t make bikes or scooters. I seek your hub motors for use in my equipment, and will buy many of them when I find what works for me.

I realize you don’t have all the information easily available now. But please invest more time in answering my questions more completely:

1. Dimensions of 1000w hub motor alone. (48v-1000watt electric motorcycle motor) Weight of hub motor alone.

2. Data showing torque, energy use, and efficiency of that motor when at 120 to 140 rpm. (projected, if need be)

3. Which electronic controller would be the best, and what is its cost. I can use any voltage. I use grid power, and not use electric bike batteries.

4. Please give me a cost when ordering in quantities of 5, 10, 50, 100, and 200. Also including the cost of controllers as an option would be helpful to me.

I assume they’d be boxed in groups of 5 or more, so please determine what shipping. It would be very good.

If this information is not available through you, please send me the contact information I would be able to use myself, and I will find someone here to translate language so it is easier to communicate. I think you have the hub motors I need, but I need to verify it will work for me.

hub motor selection and rim width.

Posted by on December 29, 2021 Comments Off on hub motor selection and rim width.

I am looking to build an e-bike, starting with the Mongoose Dolomite. 5000W is probably too much, I see you offer 1500W hub motor kits, but I did not see any information about 4inch wheels for the fat tire bikes.
Do you have a 26 inch bike motor kit for the 26 inch fat tire bikes, rear drive, 1500W or more?
With a 9 speed cassette is there enough room for the hub motor in a 135mm drop out ?
I see now that my Shimano 9 speed rear cassette should be the same width as a Shimano 7 speed. It is the spacing of each gear that is different. However, if I am to purchase your kit, I would need you to supply the 9 speed freewheel because I assume your hub motors use freewheels and not cassettes. Right now my bike is a cassette.

Unless it is possible to supply this bike motor in the kit instead:

I should be able to mount my cassette to this motor. Can we do that instead?

This is no longer for fat tire bike so please ignore the first email about the fat tire kit.

It is for a regular mountain bike so no need to worry about 3 or 4″ tires. I have regular mountain bike tires, 26 x 2″ right now. Once I do the electric bike conversion kit, I may switch to more narrow road tires like 1.5″ or 1.75″ so the regular double wall mountain bike rim is fine.

So I made a new order with the individual parts and I excluded the brakes because I do not need them. However, it came out to be a little more expensive than selecting the kit but, I would like a double walled 26″ rim added to the hub motor please.

Just wondering what type of connectors come on the motor controller? I am ordering my battery and need to know what kind of connectors it has. Do you have any pictures or description?

1500watt ebike hub motor question

Posted by on December 29, 2021 Comments Off on 1500watt ebike hub motor question

I am searching for electric hub motors that I might be able to use for my device, far different than a bike.
Your 1500 watt hub motor caught my eye, and I am wondering what the outside hub diameter is?If this might work for me, I’d modify it to work for my situation, so the measurement I am looking for is the outside of the drive hub itself (the hub holding the magnets, magnets located on the inside of the hub) I’d eliminate the shield stuff on each side, to help us get the heat shed better.

Do you manufacture these hub motors, or are they purchased? Are they made in the US?

Our equipment is currently powered with 3-Phase AC motors, but I can get more power for less weight with dc motors. Unfortunately, my target rpm is around 140, probably using near 1000 watts at that speed.BUT,if these motors could come close, I’d want to explore what we might do with them.A perfect diameter for us would be less than 6 inch, but this likely isn’t the case.So, getting one or two in hand will let me contemplate things.

I was able to see the charted details for the motor! I note it is max efficiency at 550 rpm, which is too fast for my equipment.I wish to find a direct drive hub motor with decent efficiency at 120 to 200 rpm.As pointed out, my equipment is for a good purpose, and we have potential for 20,000 units per year, and more, reaching that in 2 to 4 years.

Would they consider making a bike motor running at slow speed (adding more poles)? Or is it possible with a step style bike motor? Because these run 24-7, and are built to run for years at a time. I am seeking to have reasonable life expectancy of the motors to be around 8 to 12 years.This is why I am seeking to have direct drive.This bike motor gets installed in a water-tight container, and operates underwater. Cooling will be provided by direct contact to the underwater container.It is very allowable to have a longer length, but if they can hold the 150 mm diameter as a maximum, the length could be almost 310 mm if this would help. I can go up to a weight of 50 kg, if the controller doesn’t weigh very much.

Thank you for following up on this.I would really like to find a bike motor supplier for us so we can go to a direct drive unit and avoid the use of a gearbox.

electric bike motor rear vs front wheel confusion

Posted by on December 29, 2021 Comments Off on electric bike motor rear vs front wheel confusion

Your E-bike company may just be what I’ve been looking for a while now, though I have a least another set of questions before I attempt to make a purchase to ship over.
I’m still having some troubles deciding on your website exactly the difference between which hub motors are for the front vs the back wheels.
I only want to get the front bike motor wheel set up at the moment, though ultimately the rear hub motor . I’m guessing should have a little more power than the front wheel,
or should it be eventually an equally balanced between the front and the back wheel ? (maybe I should go for a 24 to 36 volt in the front and a 36 to 48 reserved for the back.

You’re right when you point out that I should have the necessary kit set-up to go with the front hub motor, such as a battery which I hope to mount somewhere
in between the bike’s triangle bars, which I will also need a mount bracket for the battery I assume., along with a speed controller and If my existing gears won’t do the trick,
then maybe special gear shifts added to the package. I don’t know if I want get the entire front and back conversion kit at this time, unless it would be a bit cheaper and easier
to buy the front and the back as a whole set with the parts, as I can always leave the back wheel mechanism in my closet for a time and just install the front hub motor.

You say most of your hub motors are fairly rain proof but not exactly mud puddle proof ? Same I guess would go for the Battery cases.

I will check things over again on your site along with the shipping arrangements, but I may still have to call you to confirm my slight back vs front wheel confusion.
