set bike motor controller

Q: When I have put on the washers and Shimano cassette lock ring the dropout spacing goes from 135mm to 140mm. Is this normal? It is a tight fit in an aluminium mountain bike frame and I have to press a bit with my thumbs but it does go in ok and then the wheel spins fine. Does this sound ok?

A: This cassette version hub motor should reach about 137~140mm.
It’s normal.

Q: Many thanks for a great bike motor and fast reply to emails. Just posted a rave review. Only issue is many ebikes could do with more info. regarding programming for hub motor controllers and displays.
I’m trying to program for a KT-LCD3 display so can you tell me the
P2 Wheel Speed Pulse Signal Setting (pulses per revolution)
C2 Motor Phase Classification Coding Mode (I’m using a KT sine wave controller)

I’ve already got this manual and it does NOT tell me the specific answers to my 2 questions. Please pass my questions on to one of the electrical engineers at Leafbike.

A:
P manual comes with LCD.
Set P as below:
P1= 46
P2= 0
P3= 1
P4= 0
P5= 15
Don’t set C.

Q: Thanks and will try out the settings.

Order 20 inch 48V 2000W front fat hub motor electric bike conversion kit
Q: I need to order this item Item ID #LBCK20482000FS 20 inch 48V 2000W front fat hub motor electric bike conversion kit and all have to do is install it and it should be ready to go using my 60V 20A lithium battery ? Is it very difficult set up? Will there be instructions on how to set up the LB08HU? Is there an app to connect to the LCD display? Approx time if I order to get it shipped?

Will this this kind of hub motor melt if a heavy biker rides it on a 20% grade steep hills and electric hub motors are a challenge and require a properly sized and adjusted system to avoid overheating. The torque a hub motor can make is related to the physical magnet strength, width, air gap and diameter. The winding arrangement determines the voltage and current to make this torque. I also would like to add a part for better cooling.

Did you get my update info,Please advise if the one you recommend will meet these requirements.

A: This 20 inch 48V 2000W front fat hub motor electric bike conversion kit can work with 60V 20Ah lithium battery.
Very easy to install.
But because this hub motor is stronger and heavy,it’s fit for front snow bike ‘s  135mm dropout
