Great channel.I have a gen 2 with pillar battery. Is there any chance you could go through the pros and cons of adding the rack Mount battery to increase the range? (and maybe how to do this work) 🙂 thanks!
So there's no kits for bolt through boost axles?
Hi, can I put rear hub motor in my bike wich already have Bosch mid drive system.
I would like to have more torque, soo i would put rear hub motor and additional battery. Tnx for answer
Hi! I want to build my own e-bike but i dont know that if the motor its 48v with 1500w and the battery its 48v but 2000w its going to work together? Or the battery its gonna burn the motor? Please help me with that THANK YOU!…
How much sir? Is that aviable in Phillipines?
You are too old to be biting your lips in your thumbnail
So I am looking at a e bike to go it work 3 miles in the USA some small short hills rolling type. 50ft elevation change
Ideally I would love to get a 1000 watt 60v motor
The crucial question about any kit is this: When something on this kit malfunctions, does it exist as a spare ? (from the same or compatible brands)
Why do you make it sound so fkn difficult.
Plenty of how to youtube videos.
I have two high velocity fans that are 115 vac 60 hz 130w can this motor be used to convert a bike into an ebike please answer
Hi, this may sound ridiculous but, I have a 1950 ‘s bike very sturdy no gears. However Im 67 yrs. With total knee replacement and 200 pounds. I want to start riding my bike but it’s very hard to pedal. I thought maybe adding a motor to assist with peddling. Anyone anyone have recommendations. Thank you for your help. 🙂
I added 750w bafang mid-drive motor to my e-bike with a 48v battery and it rides like a dream I've tried a little off road on my other ebike but it has fat tyres but have a mountain bike is so much better 😀
Dear Electric Mountain Bike Network
I want to convert my city bike into an ebike and I’ve looked at a lot of front hub motor wheels, but then I realized that my bike has “roller brakes” and I’m not sure what to do now. Do I have to by a special hub motor wheel if I still want to use my front break or what would you recommend?
Kind regards Anders
What is a "Fire Road" then?
Never heard of such a term,
So what happen when I use a 36v motor with 24v battery?
Learned nothing thank you
Can the bike battery be charged by a solar charger/battery (Jackery) while riding to extend the range?
I would like a small motor just to make toting around a toddler trailer with twins easier and faster. What can I find for my cruiser that I can kind of just plug and go? Is there a weight limit?
What is the model of the lcd screen? I want to replace my broken one 36v 250watt kit
Too much English behavior
For Front hub it is the frames like the NEXT Power Climber that works well with front hub motor due to design of having center weight right behind the handle bars. Keeps wheels from peeling with better traction..
So my foldable bicycle has gears, if I fit a front wheel motor, how are the gears disengaged when I ride the bike?
Hmm this made me instantly think of my old Gt sanction sitting in the garage….mid drive and maybe mount battery on top tube……🧐
What kit would you put on a saracen mantra trail?
I have come to the conclusion that I just should buy a off the shelf ebike
Great intro vid – thank you!
i have a 3 wheeled bike that (when i petal) it moves the back tires, my question is, will a front hub drive suit me or not?
Thank you very much for detailed explanation.
What happens if your rear drive motor suffers from a buckle will the whole unit need replacing?
Hi loved your video. Can I ask this lower priced, easy fit rear hub will be good enough for cycling up hills on the road. I have similar bike as shown. Many thanks
does plug and play kits exist? Whats the maintenance cycles for the computer of the kit ?
Might convert my old Rocky Mountain Cirrus to ebike
remake 2022?
“It’s restricted to 110km/hr”
My Ghee . That’s highway speeds 😭
La batería es potente
Can the battery be mounted on a rear rack over the rear tire?
Are there any ebike kits for fatbikes? (Specifically the MoMA fatbike?)
Any mention of braking systems on the other, non magneto, tyre hub would be helpful as you’re adding an impeller with extra weight to the whole chassis.
I need a decent conversion kit not these Chinese crap that you only get 30 days warranty
Do any regenerate downhill?
Will RIDEAL RUN MORE THAN ONE BATTERY FROM NY SWITCH BATTERY KIT?
8:08 The explanation I was waiting and you guys briefly explained it thumbs down
Can i put 138 mm rear hub put in 135 mm dropout?
My 4 year old can fit these conversion kits with blindfold and one arm tied behind his back. These guys make it sound more complicated than it is. Just go ahead and do it, it's so easy.
i would rather build my own as that's all your paying for is someone to do it for you
Front hubs are for cruising back drive is the best but can be difficult on trails because the motor is the back wheel
There good at burning your house down while charging.
A 250 four stroke is half the price, coats £8 to fill with 100 mile range and will outrun most car's.
