I have trouble keeping the wheel true and recently have a lot of broken spokes and a cracked rim. It is also hard to pedal because of motor drag and I want to be able to ride it without the power on or if the battery went flat. I can\u2019t do that now. \n\nI am interested to know a few things\n\n1. What is the weight of the front wheel hub motor?\n2. You can see my bike has the front wheel a much further distance from the handlebars.Can you supply this hub motor kit with longer wires - or extension wires with appropriate connectors - so the wires can be routed under the cargo area and up to handlebars?\n3. Is the voltage programmable with your system? (My existing motor can be)(I have a big battery pack)\n4. I have hydraulic disc brakes on my bike and want to be sure this is compatible with disc rotors\n\nA: 1. The net weight of this motor is 7.25kg\n2. Yes. When you order on our site,just leave message: cable length, then we can make.\n3. The voltage isn\u2019t programmable. This 48v controller works with 48v or 52v battery. (from min 40v to max 60v)\n4. There are six screw on left cover for install disk.  The dia. is 44mm (between two screw holes)\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q:I am interested to learn more about the 20 inch 48V 1000W electric bike kit &#8211; front casted hub motor wheel Item ID #LBCK20481000FM Main Features: Hub: Aluminum casted ( tire: 20 \u00d7 21\/4 or 21\/2&#8243; ) Engine: Bldc hub &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/20-inch-front-wheel-hub-motor-for-cargo-bike\/\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,12,8,27,13],"tags":[45,56],"class_list":["post-1290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bike-conversion-kit","category-bldc-motor-2","category-brushless-motor","category-electric-bicycle","category-hub-motor","tag-electric-bike-kit","tag-hub-motor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1290"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1290\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1356,"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1290\/revisions\/1356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leafmotor.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
