The issue about electric bike battery for bike kit

Posted by on May 15, 2020 Comments Off on The issue about electric bike battery for bike kit

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.

Thick Yellow —– Thick Green
Thick Green —– Thick Yellow
Thick Blue —– Thick Blue

Thin Yellow —– Thin Green
Thin Green —– Thin Yellow
Thin Blue —– Thin Blue
Thin Red —– Thin Red
Thin Black —– Thin Black

Answer 4:My 36V 250W 26″ kit also exchanged these two wires.

Answer 5:No exchange thin red and thin black wires,just exchange three thick yellow,blue,green and three thin yellow,blue,green wires. Exchange 12 times,must find one kind of right phase and system can work normal.

Answer 6:Had better to connect wires as instruction,sometime connect wrong wire will break controller.Even if done wire connecting,still need to re-check connecting.At last put on battery.

Answer 7:Don’t worry,your hub motor can shake that means motor and controller are both okay,please exchange wires according as the instruction of drawing that will solve it.

Answer 8:Hello,holmqvist,how is your e-bike? Still shake…

battery level

Posted by on May 12, 2020 Comments Off on 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.
