Other parameters in the display menu, USB outlet behind the display

Posted by on November 24, 2024 Comments Off on Other parameters in the display menu, USB outlet behind the display

Greetings, I have received hub motor kit with everything, and am happy with it so far, although I haven’t assembled everything. I have a couple of questions:
In the owner’s manual after the editable functions of “LIM” (speed limit), “DIM” (tire dimensions), “UNIT” (metric or English units), there are 22 other parameters, named P1, P2, etc., C1, C2, etc, L1, L2, etc. What are those for, and can a user edit/change those, or should I leave those alone? I’m curious if one of them is regenerative braking strength in particular.

Also, I see a controller for lights, horn, and maybe turn signals. Is that for a device that you also sell, that does all of those functions, and is powered by the USB outlet I see behind the display on the side? Or is that just a phone charger, or is it just a plug for any light/horn device? Pics attached below if that helps. Thanks for any info, and for what I’m sure will be another great product!

Leaf Ebike Kit Questions

Posted by on August 4, 2023 Comments Off on Leaf Ebike Kit Questions

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: 

A. Are the phase wires 3mm in diameter or 3mm in cross sectional area? 

B. Is the 3mm dimension for the actual copper wire or the overall including the insulation? 

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. 

Not sure it’s 27.5 or 29 inch bike conversion kit

Posted by on October 16, 2022 Comments Off on Not sure it’s 27.5 or 29 inch bike conversion kit

Q: Good evening. I was referred to your shop from someone on a forum, and I’m hoping you can help me. I’m looking to convert my Trail 8 bike to a rear-wheel electric. I have very little understanding of mechanics, bike parts, and measurements so finding a kit that is the right size for my bike has been very difficult. I am confident that I can install the kit if I have the right one. If you don’t mind could you please have a look at my bike’s specifications and tell me which specific kit will fit my bike? I’m very motivated to purchase one. Thank you! 

A: Not sure it’s 27.5″ or 29 inch? (27.5 inch rim is smaller than 29 inch rim)

If tire size is 29 x 2.25″ — All of our 29 inch hub motor kits are fit for this tire.

How to choose bike conversion kit?
1. Check tire size, there is some words on tire (from picture,we can’t find tire size)
For example: if there is  29 x 2.25″

29 inch wheel size, 2.25″ is tire width…
All of our 29 inch hub motor fit for this 29 x 2.25″ tire

2. check front or rear fork width
For example: the dropout of this bike is 135mm (can’t find this info on your link)
All of our rear hub motor kits with max 7 speed fit for this 135mm rear dropout
(If you hope install 8 speed,9 speed.. the dropout should be a little larger than 135mm, if fork dropout can be a little large, to be 140mm, install 8 speed,9 speed on our rear hub motor is no problem)

Generally just 1 & 2 both fit for.. mount this hub motor kit to your bike is no problem.

(Nearly all of this kind bike’s rear dropout is 135mm or a little larger.. install is no problem)

21 speed is okay.
Front is 3 speed, rear is 7 speed..

Our 29 inch rear hub motor with 7 speed is fit for standard 135mm dropout.

(Some bike rear has 8 speed or 9 speed..)

Q: Ah okay I think I get it now. Sorry for my questions this is out of my knowledge area. So it looks like https://www.leafbike.com/products/diy-bike-conversion-kit/29-inch-48v-52v-1500w-rear-wheel-electric-hub-motor-kit-1065.html is going to be the one for me. I’ll make sure on that fork size tomorrow and check with my bike shop if they think the dropouts are sturdy enough. Just a couple more questions – do you have a 48V battery recommendation? And there an installation guide with the kit?
