29 inch electric hub motor kit

Posted by on April 12, 2023 Comments Off on 29 inch electric hub motor kit

Q: If I buy 29 inch electric hub motor kit, for the real wheel, will the cassette of back wheel fit together with the our wheel? Cassette i mean the component, where the chain goes to change speeds. I am afraid the motor plus the cassette will not fit the bike. Our electric motor kit, fits 29inch x 1.95 but does it fit 29inch x 1.35?
I am interested in buying a new bike and adapt it because if will be have a better cost/performance/quality ratio, than buying strait electric bicycle. This what I am interested in,it is a carbon fiber frame 2k, their cheapest electric mountain bike was an allow frame, 400w motor and costs 2.7k, so plus 700 dollars, allow frame and only 400w compared with ours kit.

A: Not comes with cassette. It’s standard size. ONLY 7 speed cassette fit for our hub motor. Our 29 inch motor wheel is fit for 29 x 1.95″ tire and 135mm dropout.

Q: I can buy the front wheel kit instead, few months from, still need to buy the bike first.

A: Front wheel kit is also good.

Q: https://www.leafbike.com/products/diy-bike-conversion-kit/29-inch-48v-52v-1500w-rear-wheel-electric-hub-motor-kit-1065.html
Does this kit come with battery? Also ” Freewheel / Cassette: space for single speed..6 speed or max 7 speed”
I want the version sprocket with cassette not freewheel.
Can you tell me the size off the sprocket?
The cassette from the bike i want is 40.9mm and 12speed, just 8 or 9 mm more than the standard 7 speed cassette.

A: Not come with battery. Cassette is standard size. As we knows,only one. Ours is fit for 7 speed. Not fit for other 6 speed.

Q: If I know the exact size of the sprocket i know if the cassette will fit, in the kit, if not i can put the motor on the front wheel, which fits the sizes?

A: But it’s not fit for 135mm dropout，install 7 speed on this motor. Your dropout should be 137mm.If 12 speed.Your dropout should be more than 145mm.Mount bike,max 7 speed. 7 speed is fit for your rear fork. This rear motor isn’t fit for front.

18 inch electric motorcycle conversion kit

Posted by on April 12, 2023 Comments Off on 18 inch electric motorcycle conversion kit

I am interested in the electric motorcycle conversion kit you offer. I am electrifying an old Kawasaki KE 125 (1976) and would require the fitting electric hub engine for the rear wheel and all other components (controller, battery, brake). Before I can order, I have a few questions:

I would need a 18inch rim (at least 2.5inch wide as shown in one photon in this kit https://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-motorcycle-kit/1.6-18-inch-48v-52v-1500w-rear-electric-motorcycle-motor-kit-1275.html?VariantsId=10576 , but it could also be wider as there was a 2.75 inch rim installed before). However, as for the hub motor, I would like to have a 2000W motor with max speed 50mph as described here for a 16inch rim https://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-motorcycle-kit/1.85-16-inch-48v-52v-2000w-rear-electric-motorcycle-motor-kit-1272.html?VariantsId=10413. Is that possible?

Do you have a faster hub motor in a motorcycle kit too?

The drop out would need to be 215 mm. I measured 200mm between the swing arms (inside to Inside distance) and 215mm at the outside (outside to outside distance). Is that possible? Or is there another way to adjust it?

I assume that when buying the kit, this means that I only have to install it but the rest fits together already?

How much more would be to get the color display LB08HU instead of the standard LCD-S830?

In addition, I would need the disk brake to be mounted on the left side with your motor flange (https://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-bike-parts/motorcycle-disk-brake-pads-rotor-flange-1252.html) such that I assume that the cable location should be on the left?!

I would also order the disk brake set for motorcycles that you offer (https://www.leafbike.com/products/electric-bike-parts/180mm-motorcycle-disc-brake-1056.html) and a battery.
For the battery, I am wondering how much of a difference the 52V (https://www.leafbike.com/products/lithium-battery/52v-20ah-lithium-battery-1224.html ) compared to the 48V makes in terms of performance of the hub engine?

How much would cost in total incl. shipping?
The shipping would be to Finland. How does it work with the customs? Do you have any information and experience with shipping it to the EU?

Q: Cengalo is a Startup for a 4 wheeled lightweight car with 2 bike Hub motors on the rear wheels.
We plan a speed of approx 75 Km/h, downhill, with 20 inch wheels.
Can you offer the 48V 52V 1500W front spoke hub motor – electric bike motor with appox 800 rpm?
Motor type: brushless bike motor
Voltage: 48V / 52V
Power: 1500W
Max efficiency: 90.5%
RPM: 600
Mechanical brake: V
Cable location: shaft end, Left
Cable length:150cm / 60″
Install: spacing of 100mm fork
Noise: < 60 db Surface: Black painted Net weight: 6.9kg / 15.2 lbs Gross weight: 7.8 kg ( after packing ) A: 48V 52V 1500W front spoke hub motor - electric bike motor with appox 600 rpm. It's very fast. (Default the fastest) But also, we can make faster bike motor (over 700rpm) Q: The higher speed hub motor can be interesting for the vehicle. Than we can use 48V battery. We have yet to decide if the vehicle is 48 or 72 volts batteries. With the higher voltage (72V) battery, the same hub motor would have a 1.5 times higher speed. Do you have experience what is better for the car? A: This 1500w bike motor max use about 2.5mm phase wires. Can work with 72v battery. But uphill,if cable too hot,should stop at once. Q: Can you give a wholesale quote for the 1500W front spoke hub motor 100 psc / 500 pcs / 1000 pcs per order? We calculate the Cangalo Smartcar with this offer. Unfortunately we can't place an order until 28.2. We have to develop the vehicle, Cengalo Smartcar, first. You always answered quickly and hopefully will continue to do good prices in the future, so we can well imagine ourselves with Leafbike as a long-term supplier work.

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. 

20 inch 48v 52v front hub motor diy bike conversion kits question

Posted by on October 16, 2022 Comments Off on 20 inch 48v 52v front hub motor diy bike conversion kits question

Q: Hello! I have been viewing your various 20″ 48v/52v front hub motor diy bike conversion kits and I have a couple of questions.

1) Is there a way to install a disc brake rotor somehow next to the hub motor and still function properly? If so, can you tell me maximum rotor size allowed for these kits?

2) What type of battery would you recommend for a 48v/52v front hub motor kit like this?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance regarding this matter. 

A: 1.) Can install a disk on this 20 inch 1000w or 1500w front hub motor… but the front dropout should be 105mm or 110mm..
    Standard front dropout is about 100mm..

So if the dropout can’t be larger, can’t use disk on front motor.

2.) We recommend 52v 20ah lithium battery.
https://www.leafbike.com/products/lithium-battery/52v-20ah-1500w-electric-bike-battery-triangle-battery-1225.html

Q: Thank you very much for your quick response. Do you know what the maximum disc brake rotor size I would be allowed to install next to motor? Thank you again.

A: We installed max 160mm

Below picture. 
The dia. of two holes for disk is 44m…
If your 180mm 203mm,  aslo 44mm… You can install 180mm, 203mm disk

Q:
I forgot to ask you one last thing before making a final decision on a front hub motor kit. I know you said you are not able to ship the recommended 52v 20ah battery to Japan, but can you recommend a charger to go with this type of battery? Thank you again for all of your help and assistance. 

I just noticed the charger that comes with the 52v 20ah li battery, so I can look for battery/charger here in Japan. But, do you have in stock just the frame bag for holding this type of battery?

Q:One more question do you have different windings available? Bike will be climbing lots of hills.

A:Yes, we have different windings available..
Just tell us max speed, we can make windings as your max speed.
We can make fastest: 22 x 3T just for e-motorcycle
Also, can make 16 x 4T – fast
13 x 5T
11 x 6T – popular
9 x 7T
8 x 8T – stronger and not too slow
7 x 9T
6 x 11T — slow
5 x 13T
4 x 16T 
…

Q:Which winding works well for long hill climbing without overheating?

A: 11 x 6T is not too slow,also strong.
Don’t worry motor overheating.
ONLY make sure controller is not overheating.. motor will not overheating..
** Don’t pack controller inside bag.Had better to hold it on the frame directly.It’s easy to cool controller in Summer.
** There pairs of heavy yellow,blue,green phase wires must connected well. Had better to use electrical tape winding.

Q: I saw you have a 2000w hub motor model fat bike wheel how fast will that go?
I think that may be my last question
Sorry also does hub motor have a temp sensor or can you add one please?
Hi saw this new model and had questions:
https://www.leafbike.com/products/beach-snow-fat-bike-kit/26-inch-60v-2000w-rear-hub-motor-beach-snow-fat-tire-bike-conversion-kit-1231.html

Your 26 inch 2000w snow bike kits says it can come in 190mm rear dropout, is that correct?

How many amps is the controller?

Can you supply as a thumb throttle instead of twist throttle?

Does motor come mounted inside the wheel?

What windings can you offer on this 2000w version?

What’s the difference between 36V 500W,36V 750W and 48V 1000W hub motors

Posted by on May 11, 2022 Comments Off on What’s the difference between 36V 500W,36V 750W and 48V 1000W hub motors

Q:What’s the difference between 36V 500W,36V 750W and 48V 1000W hub motors

A:36V 500W,36V 750W and 48V 1000W hub motors are all used for electric bikes,also called electric bike motors.They have the same figuration.These three motors are all made of the same hub,covers,
axis,bearings,hall sensor.So they look the same,but they have different magnet and rotor-winding.

36V 750W and 48V 1000W are the same hub motors,just work at different voltage,has different watts.

But for 36V 500W × 36V 750W（48V 1000W）
The difference between them is that gauge of the coil wires,turns number of the coils and height of magnet.

The height of 36V 500W hub motor’s magenet is 24mm,but 750W hub motor reach 30mm.Picture enclosed.

In market,36V 500W is easy to find it,but difficult to find real 36V 750W hub motors.

In China,36V 500W(48V 600W) motors are very popular and used for electric bikes,these motors seem to ours,but No.The height of our magnet is 6mm more than as usual,reach 750w or 1000w.North America like them,more like high speed motors,we can customize motor speed as customers’ actual need.

Now 26″ 36V 750W bike wheel reaches 20m/h and the speed of 48V 1000W is 27m/h.It’s standard speed.
