Question about 16 inch electric hub motor kit

Posted by on March 20, 2025 No comments

Q:I thank you very much for UPS tracking number. The parcel should be delivered to me these days. Perfect.

Anyhow – I have one question regarding capable Li-Ion-battery pack for “16 inch, 36 V, 250 W front hub motor – electric bike kit, Item No. LBCK1636250F” which you shipped to me.
I have already one Li Ion-Battery pack; 36 V, 504 W, 14 Ah. Is that Li-Ion-Battery pack suitable for using with E-Motor I ordered from you?

A: Just connect your battery to our controller, it works.

Q: You shipped to me in Oct. 2018 “16 inch, 36 V, 250 W front hub motor-electric bike kit, Item No. LBCK1636250F”.
Today first, after buy of kick bike scooter (not pedelec), I install complete kit on my kick bike scooter and it works not. Display works normally (battery indicator full) but it is no E-Motor Watt-indication and no E-Motor reaction after switch on gas-accelerator (speed adjustment not 0 but 1 till 5).
After check of all delivered Parts from your Company and received Datasheet, I discovered some discrepancies:

1. Which voltage has E-Hub Motor, 36 V or 24 V ? (See attachment Page 2/6 and Page 3/6 as well as Page 4/6 with Photo1)
Remark: Delivered E-Motor has no technical dates described on the motor alone.
2. “Cruise button (red/green as shown on the Page 4/6 its other one; See Photo 2)
3. Delivered controller has another dimension as shown on page 4/6; See Photo 3)
4. Which are correct installations codes to be installed for P1 till P5 and C1 till C14?

Awaiting your response asap of the above questions and your statement above delivered kit. Thanks in advance.

A: controller works with 36v battery (min 30v to max 42v)

Please check if there is “-O-“ on the middle/ top of screen.. If have, the system is braking… please disconnect brake lever’s plug or make brake lever’s ring be back. Then motor works.

Please check the blue wire of three button switch if cut off. If cut off blue wire, that’s okay.. If no blue wire cut off, must push the yellow button the other side, motor works. (The yellow button on your picture that works backward status. This motor Not support backward status. So not work)

What is the weight of the front wheel hub motor? 2. You can see my bike has the front wheel a much further distance from the handlebars.Can you supply this hub motor kit with longer wires - or extension wires with appropriate connectors - so the wires can be routed under the cargo area and up to handlebars? 3. Is the voltage programmable with your system? (My existing motor can be)(I have a big battery pack) 4. I have hydraulic disc brakes on my bike and want to be sure this is compatible with disc rotors A: 1. The net weight of this motor is 7.25kg 2. Yes. When you order on our site,just leave message: cable length, then we can make. 3. The voltage isn’t programmable. This 48v controller works with 48v or 52v battery. (from min 40v to max 60v) 4. There are six screw on left cover for install disk. The dia. is 44mm (between two screw holes)

29 inch electric hub motor kit have problems with the cassette

Posted by on March 13, 2025 No comments

I ordered the 48v 1500W electric bike kit, with cassette.
I have problems with the cassette, the cassette is wider than where the dropouts sit around the axle.
So the hub motor wheel with the cassette on is wider than 135mm.
My bike frame is 135mm, and the website said it would fit on a 135mm frame.
When the cassette is on the hub motor wheel and i put the electric bike motor wheel on the bike, the frame grinds against the cassette when I tighten the electric bike motor wheel.
I have made it work using spacers so it spins freely, but the wheel is offset to one side now and i think my frame is spread wider. It is an aluminium frame.
Also the website said max 7 speed gear, but the cassette is for a 9 speed gear, which is also mounted now, is it suppose to be able to take a 9 speed gear, or is that an accident?
Any advice on what to do?
Also, any advice on mounting the torque arms? My frame is aluminium.

Steel is okay.But Aluminium is not good to make it larger. We worry if make aluminium frame to larger will break frame.
We recommend use 7 speed or 6 speed or single speed..

You will receive below goods:
1x pcs of 29 inch 48v 1500w rear hub motor wheel (black spokes, cassette)
1x pcs of 48V bldc motor controller (New version LCD controller)
1x pcs of LCD (New version LCD-003)
1x set of twist throttle
1x set of brake levers
1x pcs of three button switches ( use to control cruise,reverse..)
1x set of pedal assit ( It’s fit for European,if you don’t use,ONLY use throttle is okay )
Some spare spokes with plugs

——————————————-
How to set max speed?
If you feel motor 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 29 is flashing.. (29 is wheel size. Don’t set)

Product Question of New 26 inch 48V 1000W electric bike kit – front wheel

Posted by on March 13, 2025 No comments

I’m interesting your product of New 26 inch 48V 1000W electric bike kit (Item ID #LBCK26481000FN), and having some question as below.

1. Does the kit already include regen function?
2. Is it possible to have a demonstration YouTube vedeo to show me the E-ABS regen feature?
3. Do you have magnet switch instead of Item ID #LBP002BL braking lever, because my current braking lever is an All in one type (braking lever and Shimano in one)?
4. As everyone knows the transportation cost is very high, if I can arrange the rim by myself from USA, can I replace order as following to reduce some transportation cost?
I want to make sure everything is the same as #LBCK26481000FN besides 26×1.95 inch rim. (The hub motor controller, LCD display, braking lever, three button switch, throttle etc…)

1. I always ride a route which include a lot of up and down hills, the longest one is a continuity down hill for 2 km.
it’s a 7% downhill, if you don’t use brake to reduce speed, the bike speed will be up over 45km/hr, so I always
use brake to control speed within a safety area( within 30km/hr), but after through the downhill, the rim become
very hot, it very bad situation.
That’s one of many reasons that I want to put a E-BIKE with regen braking function in my Bike.

According my description as above, is your e-bike kit suitable in this case?

4. Is the attached photo new version or old?
Do you mean that if I place order with #LBCK26481000FN kit set will get new version of LCD display?
If place order with LBC481000L 48V 1000W bike motor controller will get old version of LCD display?

When I downhill, if I release throttle and turn on the E-ABS by switch, but I don’t push the brake lever to make mechanical brake working. will bike glide freely and very fast? is the controller charging battery at this moment?

Normally when E-ABS turn on, the speed should become lower as below, is it right?

When a very long distance downhill (the same gradient),
if freely glide down (without throttle, mechanical brake, E-ABS), the invariable maximum speed is 35km/hr
when turn on E-ABS only, the invariable maximum speed should be lower than 35 km/hr, such as 25~30km/hr

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.

Posted by on March 12, 2025 No comments

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.

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.

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.

Some issues about front hub motor electric bike kit system

Posted by on March 9, 2025 No comments

DIY 1 set of 26″ 36V 750W front hub motor electric bike kit from Internet shop,waited for a couple days,at last received it.
Checked packing box,it’s okay.Disconnected package,there were all goods inside box:

1.1 set of 26″ 36V 750W front hub motor wheel without tyre
2.1 set of 36V 750W bldc motor controller with LCD
3.1 set of twist throttle with battery gauge
4.1 set of brake lever with low voltage to brake
5.1 set of three-button switches(control horn,led lights,cruise..)
6.1 set of 36V 16Ah LiMn2O4 electric bike battery with 110~230AC charger
7.some zip ties(fix wires)
8.1 set of instruction manual and wiring diagram

Was told to prepare below tools to install electric bike kit:
1.open-end wrench(loose/tight screw nuts)
2.philips screwdriver(fix LCD)

By now,install electric bike kit seems very easy.But for a newer,first time to install electric bike motor (hub motor) wheel and need to connect various unknown wires that is still a little difficult.
Leafmotor will share some install experience with every DIY bike kit rider.Some issues you will meet:
1.You are going to install hub motor wheel,you should find out the motor’s direction of rotation first.Please read install instruction manual;
2.Install tyre according as flower pattern of tyre;
3.Fix 26” front hub motor wheel on front fork.If your front fork is 100mm,no problem.After installed,sometime you will find the wheel isn’t in the middle of fork,now you should use some washers to adjust.If still can’t solve it,the problem come from spoke rim should re-fit this rim;
4.Fix bldc motor controller,LCD,electric bike battery and install throttle,brake lever,three-button switches.This step is easy;
5.Make the electric bike motor wheel in the air, power on li battery and test bike kit system.If it works normal.Please use zip ties to fix wires.If not,re-check wire connecting according as wiring diagram.

This fifth step is the most important.When you power on battery,you may meet below issues:
1.The electric bike kit system can’t work.When you turn throttle,nothing is happened.Now you should check battery power connector and three-pin throttle connector;
2.The electric bike kit system works as the fastest speed suddenly.The problem is the black ground wire from throttle isn’t connected well;
3.The hub motor shake,please check motor phase wires;
4.All leds light,but electric bike kit still can’t work.Check motor wires;
5.The electric bike kit works,but just wok less than 3 seconds,all lights on throttle are off.Loose throttle,be on and the bike kit system still works less than 3 seconds.This is battery issue,use volt-meter to measure it.Full charged 36V limno4 battery is 42V and dis-charged it is 34V.The volt of your new battery can’t less than 34V.If it’s under 34V,please return it to your supplier.
6.LCD doesn’t display speed.Solve: the sensor should be closed to the detector.

Hub motor was very sluggish

Posted by on March 8, 2025 No comments

Question:While trying to get the hub motor up and running here we have run in to some problems. After installing the hub motor wheel in the fork it was very sluggish to turn and took quite a bit of effort, not freewheeling at all. The first time we plugged the battery (fully charged 48V 12AH LiFePo4 at 52.9V) in to hub motor (without the throttle connected to the controller cable) the hub motor beeped three times. When we hooked up the controller cable black and yellow pin connectors to the corresponding ones on the throttle there was no response from the electric bike motor, but the battery level lights did light up. We tried both throttles sent with the same results.

As it was the weekend I went to the forum and looked there for assistance. I received some good feedback that the 3 beeps we heard were a signal that the throttle was not work which is what we found as soon as we hooked up the throttle. We have checked all the leads for correct amperage as per his instructions with positive results.

I am assuming that electric bike kit is bench tested before it leave there? The packaging was undamaged upon delivery and all seemed in good order upon receipt. If you could please advise us on what to do to get this resolved we would appreciate it as we want to get on with our trials here to be able to get out product to market by summer.

I have checked my throttle and hub motor controller wires against your PDF diagram and there seems to be some discrepancy? I wish my camera was working but I will describe my findings. Diagram Throttle Black 3 pin shows: Red? perhaps Orange?/White/Blue Our Throttle Black 3 pin has:
Orange/White/Black from core with black jump to yellow 2 pin Diagram Controller Black 3 pin has: Red? perhaps Orange?/black/Yellow Hub Motor Controller Black 3 pin has: Rust from Core with Red Jumper to PAS White three pin/White/Black from core with Black jumper to yellow 2 pin

I checked the 8 pin connector again and can’t see that it isn’t making good contact. No bent pins or obstructions.Electric Bike Motor still beeps three times upon connecting to full battery as described with and without full connections of cables.

Yes jumping the two holes as indicated does make the electric bike kit run. It seemed like at first that by moving the controller wire that the electric bike motor would stop and start as if there was a short right at the junction and we thought that might be the problem. We hooked up the cable but I still am not getting any response from either throttle when hooked up to the black two pin connector even if I move the cable at the junction and now using the jumper the short method that issues seems to have gone away?

We are trying hard to make this electric bike kit work here but I have to admit we are getting a bit frustrated. The throttle cable while hooked up shows 5.0 amps on the red wire and from .8 amps at rest and 3.8 amps on the white wire when at full throttle like it should? Without the black pin connector together there are 5.0 amps at the red wire and .1 amps at the white wire if that is any useful information.
