This is the number one best e bike kit installation video I have watched. I have installed 500W's-3000W kits and have not found a video on UA-cam yet, that explains the battery connections, because to many people the battery connection is the most confusing part for the entire installation . Great job man.......
@@danimayb hello mate. Just voilimart 1500w motor. Dunno bout control box. But it def kicks arse. In fact I'm having to go shopping morra for rubber bushes for wheel nuts and torque wrench to keep wheel aligned. It's Def nuts tho
Great video. I've got a 500w e bike, but definitely want to build a 1000w one on my old mountain bike. This video made up my mind! Thanks again. Have fun riding yours!
Very cool. I’m doing a kit from Amazon. I just ordered it. Suppose to be 1200w and 36mph. I have a 52v 30ah battery and would be happy with 28-30mph on my old trek
I had to grind the forks a bit to get this kit on the trek. It is a great kit. It has been kicking butt at about 30mph to 35mph and makes the front tire peel out. Way good for the price and so the kit was about $225, bike was free with another bike that I sold, and then about $250 for the battery. I also upgraded to kool stop brakes and I love them. Maybe disc later
exactly. completely wrong about locking your crank arms if you tight the arm bolt too much. it has nothing to do with the bearings inside the bottom bracket shell. safety hazard
@@jonasmeier417 That wouldn’t happen because the cranks are different lengths for such pieces. If this pedal assist module is not able to be used correctly/ tightened up properly it will all fail and the crash will hurt
This is the best video on UA-cam. No bs not 1000ads and hes not trying to sell you an ebike thst costs more than your nans morhers house 😂. Happy riding guys !!!!
I have a 1000w kit in Garage, I'm running a 250 geard at the moment but my 1000w is good for 35mph i just didn't like the weight and everything wears out fast at high speed on a bike 😅 🤠🤘👍 , but excellent for the money as most of us haven't got thousands to spend on a ready made, i love kits 🙏🤠🤘👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thanks for the video. Very very good one.. 48v 12-20 ah will probably fit in most frames. If not you could maybe use a bicycle baggage carrier (min 25 kg load), And mount a small motorcycle topbox, that could hold the controller and a 10-60 ah battery..
I had the same issue with the battery mount. I was able to mount it the right way up by removing the plastic cover on the mounting, that exposes additional mounting brackets. Then put the plastic cover back on.
With the type of battery you have (Hailong), you could have a controller hidden in the battery cradle with the control cables coming out of the it instead of just a battery connector. This eliminates the cabling between the battery and motor, and reduces clutter on your bike. The downside is that the controller is slightly less powerful than what you have (22A vs 30A).
At 33mph on a mountain bike, I'd be wearing a helmet bro 😉 Fantastic tutorial! I'm gonna make my 250w Hyper bike into a 2000w beast. The only problem I have is that the original 250w battery is integrated into the frame. I'll work it out, lol 😁
Thanks for the comment. Helmet is a must for sure. I didn’t think it through during the video after a long day putting it together. Good luck on your project. Sounds exciting and I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
Don't rely on the bottle holder bolts, the weight of a battery is too much for them. Either get a base plate with hose clamps to make sure the battery can't come out in an accident etc or do what I did, get a triangular battery that hangs in the frame by straps.
Thank u I have a 21 speed torker bike I just got tired of pedaling up hills and I just need a way to rest my hip after the surgery from the year September 9 2021 once it’s converted I will send a shot out to you on my channel 😎
Bravo nice work..i already got a 20 inch folding ebike but i want to upgrade it to a 60 volt system.. I'm kinda nervous doing this upgrade cause I'm still new to ebikes..but it's something I'm thinking about doing one day tho .
now that you know how to make an e bike do dis, get a sabcoton controller and another hub motor for the other wheel, also get a 72v battery and , if you live through it , it will be a beast and basicqally a 2wd motorcycle, have fun
If you are planning to upgrade to a DUAL MOTOR, best set up is to use a Gear motor as the base and a Gearless motor to use as a turbo Booster ( 1500 to 2000watt ) . This set up provides build very practical of using gear motor within residential speed zones and using turbo Booster when on blvds or straightaway streets on long distance trips of a 5 to 10 mile or longer. Gearless motors only go so far on full throttle of a 3 to 5 mile range before the motor cuts off to cool down a few minutes. Using a Gear motor will decrease overall torque output( saves battery and not overheating motors) When on turbo Booster , you can have the gear motor on cruise control as regenerating battery power kicks in ( only batteries or factory e bikes that do this). The weight of this set up is ideal besides performance that is equal or more vs the 3000$ and higher e bikes.
Thank you for this video. I look forward to convert a bike myself. I found your video inspiring and helpful. What was the reason for going with a different battery?

Hello, I have a bike with 26inch wheel. I want to upgrade a motor like yours. My rear dropout bike is 135mm wide. I wonder the 1000w motor can fit it with a 7s or 8s thread freewheel? Could you make it clear? I appreciate it.
Thank YOu good video. I have an older Schwinn 10 speed street cruiser with steel frame. BUT I like it, the seat and handle bars are comfortable and fit my body. It has 27 inch wheels that are 1 1/4 inch wide. Can you suggest a beginner kit for simply neighborhood cruising and workout with help on the hills and getting home if I gas out. It has rim brakes not caliber disc which i like but would need to upgrade to. Can offer suggestions for suppliers and sources. Thank You again, Dennis
So I just got a Mountain bike 26" for $50. Now I will spend $400 for the bike kit . But I'm not very confident doing this myself. So how much do you think the bicycle store would charge me?
I noticed that you linked some similar kits in the description. Would you recommend those over the one you used in the video? The similar kits are about $200 cheaper and I want to know whether there's a large performance difference between them. Thanks!
They are all rated at 1000W. So in terms of power, they should offer the same performance. I would use the extra $200 for a longer range battery pack. Good luck on your project. Thanks!

I ask, because I plan on using the motor on my eBike, only when I'm tired. The plan is to pedal the majority of the time.
@@tr1707 my ebike (not this kit, it's a prebuilt one) does seem quite hard to pedal, and the idea of resistance due to the motor crossed my mind but i've put it down to the fact i'm quite large (115kg) and the bike itself is 25kg rather than the motor adding resistance
I have just installed my battery up the other way like you have. Is this ok for continued usage? a bit worried about it hanging on just the lock is all, I'm not sure!

Cool video. You made the install look so easy. I'd like to try this on my bike. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the video. Very very good one.. 48v 12-20 ah will probably fit in most frames. If not you could maybe use a bicycle baggage carrier (min 25 kg load), And mount a small motorcycle topbox, that could hold the controller and a 10-60 ah battery..
Greeting, it's a very good place to put the battery and controller there. The bike needs balancing for easy control and tire wear mitigation.🙂
I had the same issue with the battery mount. I was able to mount it the right way up by removing the plastic cover on the mounting, that exposes additional mounting brackets. Then put the plastic cover back on.
Wow! Good job on figuring that out. Thanks for sharing.
I wasn't sure what the purpose of the torque arm was. Glad I watched this first. Putting a 700c wheel/1500 watt motor on my diamondback hybrid.
This is the best video I seen you are great keep up the good videos!!
Thank you!
With the type of battery you have (Hailong), you could have a controller hidden in the battery cradle with the control cables coming out of the it instead of just a battery connector. This eliminates the cabling between the battery and motor, and reduces clutter on your bike. The downside is that the controller is slightly less powerful than what you have (22A vs 30A).

ARE THE CONVERSION KITS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE ONES INSTALLED ON MANUFACTURED ELECTRIC BIKE?
Just check the motor size and battery capacity. It's possible to build a faster bike, especially if local laws limit what people can sell locally.
I think the unused orange/yellow front cable is a second break sensor for the right break.
Good vid.
That makes sense. Thank you!
Excellent clear explanation of installation.

I PREFER DISC BRAKES FOR BETTER STOPPING POWER. CAO THE BIKE CONVERSION BE DONE WITH DISC BRAKES ON THE BIKE?
Well done on the set up I think you might need a Helmet.
