Mounting the QS Motors electric hub motor and disc brake kit on 1978 Kawasaki 125. The hub motor is a 3.5x17, 4000w 273 40H V3 cover C options with QS Motors.
just starting a 8kw 273 build on a 2017 ktm rc 390, i went with the Shinko 705, got er on the rim just havent set the bead etc etc yet, thanks for the vid answered a couple of my questions
Unfortunately I’ve done very little with it for a year. I bought the battery but need to get the controller and battery mounted and fabricate something to hold them in place. I’ve got new tires on the rims. Now that the weather is getting better I’ll probably get back in the garage to work on it. I’ve been busy with work and getting ready to start a business. Big news coming on a real estate project that is probably coming on this channel or possibly creating another channel for it.
@@themancavechannel2449 - totally understand. Life gets busy. I’m building a cb750 conversion and there isn’t tons of projects out there for inspection, I hope your business goes well!
Did the caliper bracket come with the brake kit? Or did you buy that separately? If separately, do you have a link for that one? I ordered the same brake kit from QS Motor and did not receive the bracket.
Francesco Bianco I ordered direct from QS Motors. I believe they have two websites and don’t remember which one. I emailed their sales guy and described what I wanted as far as speed and the type of bike and he specified the parts. Paid with PayPal and they shipped with DHL
I think the motor, controller, throttle/grips, dc to dc converter and brake was about $850 USD. Air Shipping from China to the USA was included and a very large part of the price

Love that you're not using wire wheel. Looking forward to watching build.
Glad to see it all worked. Can't wait to see the next phase of this project.
You can email QS motor. They will help you design or build based on the size bike and wheels that you have.
Hey, nice project, what battery/ controller setup are you going to run?? How much power are you going to push into the hub?
Nice work my friend.
Any updates in this project? Would love to see it running!

*Howd the hub motor turn out?*
Where can i purchase that mount
How did you pick a wheel size? Did you just get the same size rim as the original bike, or go smaller for a bigger tire?
Did the caliper bracket come with the brake kit? Or did you buy that separately? If separately, do you have a link for that one?

It was included in the brake kit from QS
What site did you order from? I am looking for a similar QS Motor but 8000W.

@@themancavechannel2449 Did you have to pay any additional tariff or broker fees other than what you paid QS directly?
@@mikewinkler4055 no I didn’t. I ordered that in the fall of 2019
