help me purchase 250w electric bike kit

Q:
I want to purchase 1 set of 250w electric bike kit,but found there are two type 250w hub motors showed on leafmotor’s internet shop.
One motor is 250w gearless hub motor,the other is 250w geared hub motor.
Help…What’s the difference between them?Which e-bike kit should I order?

Answer 1:
Order 250w geared hub motor,it’s more popular these days.

Answer 2:
250w gearless and geared hub motors are the same brushless motors.They are both made up of rotor winding,halls sensor, magnet, hub…
The difference between them is with gears / without gears.
250W geared hub motor is a little more powerful than gearless hub motor,but there is some noise from gears.

Answer 3:
We offer 36V/250W — 16″ 18″ 20″ 24″ 26″ 700c 28″ e bike kits.

High power motors

I have tested the new wheels and the performance from them is perfect.

I have tried them in my bike that has the 24″ 48v1000w rear wheel that I bought from leafmotor in July 2010. This bike has 48v Lifepo4 battery and max speed is 36km/h with the July 2010 motor.
When I put the new 26″ 48v1000w wheel in this bike max speed is 50 km/h.
Then I tried the 26″ wheel in another bike also with another 48v Lifepo4 battery and the performance is also good.
I am interested to find the answer. I dis-assembled the new 26″ hub and the old July 2010 24″ hub and swapped the axle and windings from each motor, re-assembled them and tested again. The 26″ wheel now has 39km/h max speed and the old 24″ is 46km/h.

This tells us that the axle windings in each of the new wheels have much higher power capability than the older wheel.

Actually old hub motor and new hub are the same cost.
Everything is no changed,the same hub,the same rotor,the same magnet,except coil wires.
Change the gauge of the coil wires and/or the turns number of the coils can adjust motor speed,power etc.
Old hub motor is standard motor,it’s fit for US transportation law.26″ 36V 750W, the speed is 20 miles/hour.
If need extra speed,power etc..We can customize as your need.

I am also satisfactory with my bicycle.
18″ 48V 1000W hub motor speed:17 miles/hour

High power performance motor doesn’t depend on speed or power,but customers’ need,law allowed.

My 48V 15-MOS-FET brushless controller drive 700c 48V 1000W electric bike motor,has enough power to climb hill.

This is a reliable hub motor,never meet any problem in 1 year.

I ordered the same motor(hbl 36V 750W hub motor) last month and repeat testing it,perfect.

Not surprising.This electric motor is ripe product and used for e-bikes widely in China.Anywhere you can find this kind of hub motor in China.
You did make a good choice and ordered ripe motor.It’s better than internal control motor.That kind the controller is built inside the motor,because of high temp,easy to break controller.If the internal controller is broken,all system is dead,should replace controller and motor together.

After repaired this hub motor by myself as instructions shown on this forum.I am much better to like this motor,like leafmotor’s forum.

Received my 700c 48V 1000W electric bike kit two weeks ago and took 1 day to done installation.Ride it per day,be satisfying with motor powerful

This is brushless gearless high speed motor, compare to brushless geared motor.The second one has more powerful,but with a little gear noise.Now 750w and 1000w brushless geared hub motors can’t find in market.Most of geared motors are 250w.

We always think faster,better.But because of local law for ebike so that we can’t ride high power motor bike.
I received 36V 750W hub motor,then make a label ” 36V 500W” on it.

From you test,you think faster speed motor is more powerful,actually you are wrong.
Estimate motor performance:faster speed,less powerful,slower,more powerful.

About motor speed,power,I think leafmotor can customize it according as customers’ actual need.

Some noise from rim or hub

Q:After running for a couple of weeks.Sometime you can find there is some noise from bicycle rim while you are riding.

A:Now you should check spoke nipple.If can’t find 36 pcs nipple on spokes.There must be some nipples inside the rim,if not,maybe some aluminium impurity.

Solve:Disconnect your hub motor wheel from your e-bike,remove the tyre,you will find there is a red gasket round the rim,also take it off.Then make the valve hole down,shake rim,the impurity will be out of the rim.Re-install them.

Solve this noisy problem.

Advice: We suggest after running several days,had better to tight 36 pcs nipples.

Q:Can you help me?I am very disappointment.
I ordered a motor from the other supplier,the HBS36F — Front Motor.Sent several emails,haven’t gotten any reply in 2 weeks.

I have just tested it and it makes a noise once every turn and it gets stuck (or at least much more friction) at the same angle. It feels like it could be some magnetic effect but more likely it´s some mechanical contact that´s disturbing the rotation. Have you heard of this problem before or is the electric bike motor constructed to act like this? Could we do something to fix it, like open it up and remove whatever that´s making the noise?

A:The noise comes from some metal impurity on the magnet.

Solve: Disconnect hub and remove it

electric bike hub motor

Hub motor is an electric bike motor that is an important part for electric bike.A common bicycle with a motorized wheel(hub motor) is an electric bicycle.

1.According as your size of rim,it has 6″ 8″ 10″ 12″ 14″ 16″ 18″ casting hub motors and 20″ 24″ 26″ 700c and 28″ electric bike hub motors
From 6″ to 18″,the rims are much smaller,so always casting hub.And used for electric scooters,electric tricycles,sometimes also used for folding electric bicycles.
From 20″ to 28″,because of rims are much bigger,always use spokes to fit.And used for electric bicycles.

2.According as whether has “brush”,it has two type:brushless hub motor and brushed hub motor
Brushless hub motor is make up of aluminium hub,aluminium covers,axis,bearings,copper winding, rotor,hall sensor..
Brushed hub motor is make up of aluminium hub,aluminium covers,axis,bearings,gear box(several gears inside),printed copper slice,two pcs of brushes..

The brushless hub motor’s principle:electromagnetic fields are supplied to the stationary copper windings of the motor. The hub(outer part of the motor)follows, turning the attached wheel.

The brushed hub motor’s principle:energy is transferred by brushes contacting the rotating shaft of the motor that drive gears,then drive hub.

Compare them:
Noise Efficiency Torque Use-life
1.brushless hub motor: √ >78% √ >3-Year
2.brushed hub motor: a little noise <70% a little larger replace "brush" in 2 year With the advantage of brushless hub motor,it used for electric bike widely. According as use,it also called electric bike motor. According as current,it has ac and dc hub motor.But nearly all of hub motors are direct current(DC).

Request of info about your hub motors

Q:I’m planning to start a small production of electric vehicles and I’m evaluating your products.
I would like you to clarify the following details:
1) I read the performance data of HBL motor 24V/300W-36V/750W-48V/1000W, are these data referring to the same physical motor ?
2) What are the physical differencies between HBL-36F1 / HBL-36F2 / HBL-48F ? I noticed that the weight is the same, is the gauge of the coil wires and/or the turns number of the coils different for each motor ?
3) Are HBL motors equipped with internal position sensors ?
4) Besides 14/16/18″ can you supply also 20″ aluminium casted rims for HBL motors ?

A:Thank you for you are interested in our electric bike motor.You are very professional.
About the first and the second question,you are right,these performance datas come from the same motor.No difference.
About the third question,HBL is brushless gearless motor with internal hall sensor.
About the fourth question,in past we had this 20″ aluminium casted rims for HBL motors.
Now no body use this 20″ hub motor,so we don’t manufacture this kind of motor.
HBL-36F1/HBL-F2/HBL-48F these three kinds of motor,if they have differences that come from the gauge of the coil wires and/or the turns number of the coils.

BTW,if you hope get other performance about this hub motor,for example:faster,slower,more power at the highest efficiency point.We can customize according as your order.

No differences between hub motor and electric bike motor

Q:You wrote me that there are no differences between HBL-36F1/HBL-F2/HBL-48F hub motor, so the different prices listed on your website are just for commercial reasons ?
I’m glad to hear you can supply customized products, is this possible even for small numbers ? (We are starting this type of business and at the beginning we will need just a few pieces).
I really appreciate your hub motors mainly for the technical
specifications provided rarely present for this type of product.
I would be interested in testing the following electric bike motor:
– HBM-Rear (diam.=145mm)
– HBL-Rear (diam.=243mm)
(No rims, no spokes, no custom products at this time)
However I would like to know if disc brakes can be mounted on these
motors and, as I have to make some particular tests, if you can supply both motors with a 12 (or 14) tooth fixed sprocket mounted on (I mean just a single fixed sprocket, not the classic freewheel gear).
A:Our HBM-Rear and HBL-Rear can both be installed disc brake and freewheel are fit for standard 135mm rear fork.
Please review picture”Disk-6in”.Does your Disk brake with this threaded adapter?If have,your disc brake can mounted on our motor.
If you this disc brake doesn’t have this threaded adapter,we will offer you this part.

AC traction bike hub motor

July 21, will service the Shenzhen Metro Line 5 of the urban rail train, in the CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “CSR bike motor“) success off the assembly line. According to technical personnel, the Shenzhen subway train is the first time the use of domestic market traction electric bike motor, equipped with a CSR Zhuzhou bike hub motor Co., Ltd. successfully developed independently of the traction bike hub motor products. Reportedly, the bike hub motor than similar foreign products, cost 20% less cost.

Construction cost of about 80 percent of foreign imports

CSR bike hub motor propaganda minister Zhu Jianfei told reporters the South, according to a long, high-strength technology validation test, the company’s traction electric bicycle hub motor of the technical indicators and very similar products imported, the cost is equivalent to the latter 80% follow-up maintenance costs only about 50% of the latter.

As a subway train the “heart”, traction bike hub motor is the core technology elements of the train, the train is pushing the cost of acquisition and maintenance of key components. According to the CSR bike hub motor to the source, every subway train by a total of 16 installed traction bike hub motor calculations, the cost of similar imported products equivalent to 80% of the standard means cost savings for each train at least 30 million, saving maintenance cost of $ 1.6 million. The Shenzhen Metro Line 5 quantities of eight trains, the subway operator side in one fell swoop to save the purchase and maintenance cost of more than 15 million yuan.

“China-made new subway excellent traction bike hub motor design, the technical indicators have reached international level of similar products, and by virtue of small size, light weight, excellent insulation properties, etc., more cost-effective than the international product.” CSR bike hub motor Publicity Minister Zhu Jianfei told reporters.

It is understood that the Shenzhen line 5 using Y Q-190-5-type asynchronous traction bike hub motor developed in November last year. “Our bike hub motor to meet the environmental climatic conditions in Shenzhen and lines, power supply and gauge conditions, reached the world advanced technology level.” Zhu Jianfei said. In addition to the quality of clearance, CSR bike hub motor with similar products, compared with a clear price advantage, is expected to slightly better in terms of competition.

Break the international monopoly of imported brands

Since 1984, successfully developed China’s first YQD -300 electric locomotive with AC traction bike hub motor has CSR bike hub motor in the year to promote technological breakthroughs in recent years, metro bike hub motor to speed up the localization process. And Shenzhen Metro Line 5 electric bicycle hub motor of similar products YQ -190-3 type bike hub motor landing in Beijing in December last year Fangshan Line subway. This year, the CSR Zhuzhou bike hub motor to provide traction electric bicycle hub motor project as well as Shanghai Metro Line 1, Shenyang Metro Line 2, Chongqing and Guangzhou Subway Line 6, 1,2,8 subway line.

“This year also includes the first major breakthrough into the European market, Izmir, Turkey to sign the light rail project, and volume manufacturing to 16, which is representative of the South China car bike hub motor bike hub motor subway traction vehicle with the European debut . “CSR bike hub motor to the reporter concerned. In addition, exports of CSR electric bicycle hub motor vehicles to maintain Singapore’s subway project supporting the development of electric bicycle hub motor, has achieved mass production, breaking the foreign giants for high-end metro and light rail traction system monopoly.

According to reports, South car sales this year expected to reach last year’s 2.5 times. And gradually replaced by a single manufacturer to create a combination of physical transformation and investment.

How to disconnect the bldc hub motor for electric bike?

Spring come,nice days to ride e-bikes.But when you take out of your old e-bike from warehouse and are going to ride it.Suddenly you would find there is strange noise from hub motor .
These days the electric bike motor are brushless gearless and used for electric bike widely.It was made of rotor-winding,magnet,hub,covers,axis,bearings…
If this bike motor has strange noise,generally it’s from rotor-winding rub magnet or the bearing is broken.It’s easy to solve it.The important is to disconnect this electric hub motor.
You should prepare some tools:
1.Hexagon wrench (Necessary)
2.Hammer (Necessary)
3.Screwdriver

Disconnect hub motor Step 1:

26 inch electric hub motor kit for the dropout 160mm fork

Q: Are you able to supply a rear hub motor kit wheel (36v @ 500W – 750w) for a rear dropout of 160mm?
I have an existing e-bike that uses a 250w geared rear hub drive on a 26 x 1.95 wheel.
It has a 7 speed gear, standard 160mm disk brake and a bike mount (frame) width of 160mm.
I would be happy to go from a geared (small hub) to the larger electric bike motor kit type.
The existing bike frame is steel (not carbon or an alloy) so I may be able to ‘bend’ the rear forks… (fit).
I have included a PDF diagram (attached) to show the existing rear hub motor fitting size.

A: Yes, we have dropout of 160mm 36V 750W electric bike motor.

Q: With the new Leaf controller and LCD, I know I can limit the maximum output speed of the 750w Direct Drive hub motor to a set (safe) maximum speed for each PAS mode 1 – 5.
With our Australian laws, I want to honor speed and safety – yet have a safe speed and torque (reserved) for hills.
I respect that you have kindly supplied my order with a 320RPM hub motor ( a good choice).
My question is: “Does the max speed by set by LCD / Controller economically limit the maximum current sent to the hub motor”?
I am talking here about battery life with a low speed LCD / Controller setting ‘modulating’ the full power sent to the hub motor.
So if I program the setting to say 25Km/h, then is the torque output effected at speeds less than the given 25Km/h?

A: Yes, if you set max 25kmh by LCD, motor will work less than 25kmh.(You can set max 10kmh,11kmh,12kmh….48kmh,49kmh,50kmh)

1.Press “SW” from LCD. Turn on LCD
2.Press “up” &”down” together for more than 2 seconds in 3 seconds after LCD display – Then “72” will flash.
3.Press “down” or “up” to set any max speed. Press “SW” one time to save. Then “26” will flash. It’s tire size. Don’t set. Still press “SW” one time to save. Then “kmh / mph” will flash. Don’t set. Press “SW” one time to save.
4.At last, press “SW” more than 2 seconds, then will be back.

There is a Three button switch inside parcel.

** Black switch (be Left side / Middle – motor works forward. Be right side, motor works backward/reverse)
** Red switch (Be left side / regen off. Be right side / regen on)
** Green switch ( When motor is working, press this green switch one time. LCD is display C, motor will work as the same speed) – Re-press this green switch one time, or press brake lever, turn throttle to max, motor will stop.
