Installing an eBike Conversion Kit - Super Easy Installation! (Yose Power)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This is an eBike installation video for a Yose Power rear hub drive eBike conversion kit. This eBike kit features an integrated controller module thats built into the battery unit which makes it very easy to install..
You can see the full specs of this kit in my unboxing video here: • eBike Conversion Kit U...
I will be reviewing this kit in the next video.
Just for information I recently bought one of these last week and installation is reasonably straightforward.
I made sure I bought an appropriate bike first by checking it was a square taper bottom bracket so that the PAS sensor was straightforward to install.
Also a lot of people say it doesn't fit in the dropouts. I think what they mean is the axle on the wheel supplied seems ever so slightly too big in diameter and it's a very very snug fit, but it does fit.
I made sure the bottle mounts were high enough on the bike I purchased. It does help that I use extra large bikes as there is lots of clearance for battery.
I received all of the tools necessary in the box such as chain whip crank puller Allen keys and cassette lockring tool.
The wires are all colour coded and very straightforward didn't need any instructions for this.
The only problem I ran into is the calipers on my bike on the rear hit the Hub motor.
I only have 160 mm so I'm going to get a 203 mm and see if this clears the motor and solves the problem.
Throttle works fine (19mph)peddle assist works fine you can change the speed to 40 km/h if you wish on the display
This is a good video. I think the thing most do not realise about installing ebike kits is that there is no magic bullet. It will never go smoothly like above
Often there is a lot of tweaking and fiddling as all bikes are really different, especially older ones.It can take some time to do and for total newbies you need more tools that you probably do not have.
My advice would be to make sure you learn how to do some basics on your bike first before ordering.
Index gears, replace brake cables and calibrate brakes, add and remove tyres, replace a chain, remove a cassette etc. Once you can do these, the install will be so much easier
I have installed the Yose kit on 2 bikes and it is reliable, but definitely takes a bit more time than most UA-cam videos show.
yes
I've been looking at this exact kit. Your video is very concise and details everything I need to know. You mentioned a follow up video and I wondered when you'd be posting it?
Literally just uploaded it, crazy timing!
Thank you I’ve been thinking of converting my carrera vengeance to an evils and this has made me more determined 👍
Hi did you do a conversion on your vengeance, I have one too thinking the same.
Thanks for not wasting unnecessary time and still showing every step.
Nice video very good, I thunk you are the only one that shows how the pedal assist work, even tho I know how, it's nice to see someone showing this. Excellent video.
I wonder if anyone who bought this realises that on the 350w version, the default max speed is set to 34kph, when if you go into the settings you can actually max the top speed to 40kph
How u do that
@@martinbrady7861 hold the settings button down until it starts blinking, then cycle through the settings and you'll see max speed setting.

@@Robbie_Bcheers
Amzing help have just got the same kit and am about to start fitting to my bike very helpfull
thank you so much for share with this video!
This is a good ebike kit, although given a few alterations it could be so much better, the battery holder should be made from metal, supply a sensor that can be used for hollow tech and can be used on any side of the crank, supply some blanks for the brake lever cables and maybe bigger motor options.
@@acelectricalsecurity the front 26"hub kit DOES come with a metal battery mount, I wonder why they don't give the rear hub one?
Thanks for the video I have just fitted the same kit to a Carrera Crossfire, and having something to refer to was great. I differed slightly on a couple of things. I decided to install another rivnut in the frame so I could secure the holder using the two outer fitting holes. I have fitted the throttle but not connected it, as I do not feel comfortable without the handbrake motor cut offs. To my mind they are a safety precaution should the throttle go short or stick. Unfortunately the Yose power supplied brake levers cannot be fitted to the bike as the brake and gear levers are integrated as are yours. Pity Yose Power do not offer alternatives in the kit.
Only separate, i consider to buy 27.5 kit , just thinking what to do with the brakes.
Hi mate, I’m about to purchase this conversion kit for my carrera crossfire 2, is it easy enough to install? I’ve never done this before.
@@Celtic-bt6nk Yes reasonably straight forward and this video was a good reference. As I have stated elsewhere on here I added another screw hole in the frame to better support the battery holder. I also modified a pair of magnetic operated brake reed switches from another suppliers website and attached them to my levers, so I could take advantage of the motor cut off circuits, so the throttle could be used safely.
@@unehour Fitting those magnetic switches sounds interesting - you should do a video.
Great vid and because there is very little instructions with my kit and first build on a folding fat bike🥵 wrong move as to big to heavy and wouldn’t even go up hill, it was 48v 1000w now got a 20” wheel on a tern link folding bike and it rips😁 and goes up the steepest hill with no peddling, apparently because smaller wheels have much more torque, anyway your vid got me out of trouble so 👍 from me
I've just put a Yose power 350A 36V kit on my Carrera as in the video and the battery wont slot in as the holes on the down tube for the pump bracket stops it.... I'm down to one screw at the bottom 😢any suggestions would be welcomed....great set of 3 vids by the way....very informative
Hey,
How's your ebike. I liked your videos, however I was looking forward to the uphill test for the kit. Also I was wondering how the 350 stands the test of time?
Cheers
good, but it is better to fix the battery with 4 or 5 bolts, 2 bolts are not enough for the weight of the battery.
Hi
An informative video, thanks.
I am thinking of fitting the 250w front wheel version on my step through trike.
Questions you might be able to help me with:
1. Would the cable be long enough to mount the battery behind the saddle down tube?
2. Does the display screen allow you to set the maximum speed allowable and can it be set to mph. I ask as i need to ride it on footpaths and meet invalid carriage status which is 4mph maximum?
Thanks in advance👍🏻.
Thank you for the informative videos. I want to put the battery, wiring and display in a panier and remove it all overnight for safety. I am curious whether there is a lot of heat from the heatsink?
Hi, thanks for sharing. Can you please post the measurements of the bikes frame please?
Gutted went to buy this kit today and got to payment and it said it doesn't ship to UK? Strange as its in stocks and available.
dear sir, i come from YOSE POWER service team, may i ask if i can share this install video to YOSE POWER official channel for more funs can see this video? looking for your reply
Hi, yes feel free to add to your playlists. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. Very useful.
hey mate , how is the quality of the freewheel for cassette ? maybe it s better to buy the version with the screw freewheel? thanks a lot
Freewheel is excellent, you get good speed downhill, I clocked at 40kph
Excellent video together with the subsequent road test video. One question, did you have to file the rear dropouts to accommodate the motor axle?
Did you have to connect the brakes censors. Thanks
Hi where did you buy this kit? How fast does it go at max? How long does the battery last, sorry if you have done another video covering this, great video!!!
Great video, clear and understandable, a question though about the Yose Power kit, is it suitable for bikes with V brakes like the ones I have on my Carrera Valour? Basically brakes that employ brake shoes.
I notice your bike has disc brakes.
Compatible with disc and rim
@@ToThePointCT Thanks 👍
Love it! you have the same bike as me. I wanting to do this too :)
Hi , great vid. Do you recommend the clip on PAS system?
Excellent video. Has anyone had an issue whereby after installing the rear motor into the axle the wheel is tight on the pedal stroke. Not catching on anything as its free on the freewheel
Nice bike I've just ordered from Amazon did the brake disc come with kit. Any problems with changing cogs etc
Excellent informative video. Is this kit the 'freewheel' model or the 'cassette' model?
It's a cassette
Tip, tighten it way more than he did.
We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
Very interesting video do you prefer rear motor, i fit mainly front wheel motor
no torque arm. excellent
hi I have the same kit fitted to my bike but don't have a torque arm did you fit one on your bike ?
People say there's no need on these low powered hubs, but fitting one does give you peace of mind. I'm not sure he did though.
I've noticed that other Yose converted bikes have another pouch held above the battery, but yours doesn't. Why is that, cos I'd rather it look like yours than all cluttered up. Cheeqrs
I've the same kit on my commuter, the controller is built into the battery holder, so no need for a external controller.
Balance the rear wheel shake would disappear on wheel stand, maybe will not be noticed in roadway...
Hi
I don't know if I am missing something but did you actually use the supplied brake/cutoff levers. I am thinking of using the same kit on a carrera crossfire 2 hybrid and it has the same integrated brake/gear lever assemblies as the vulcan. These obviously don't lend themselves to the third party levers in the kit.
Hi brilliant videos, can you tell me the make of the extension bracket please.
It seems your rear wheel spins alot , mine spins only for 10 seconds after i stops pedals , is this normal for ebike cos its wheel is heavy or not? Aslo mine is 500w rear motor bigger
Does This display only show volt? Dosent it show watt usage motor power? And do its have turn light on/of switch?
I have a very bad experience with a Yose Power kit. Spokes are not good enough and I have to change a broken one regularly. I finally have changed all of them. Original spokes were 13G and nowadays I use 12G.
Thanks for the great, clear video. Can this kit be used on rim break bikes, too?
Yes, it doesn't effect the brake
@@Islamicknowledge-yx8rt Thanks!
Bit late on the comments but just wondering what size frame this vulcan is 🤜🏽
Is it possible to install this rear wheel kit on a road bike whose tire width is limited to 25 or 28 mm because of the narrowness of the frame ? I would like to know the dimensions of the rim (ETRTO rim size)
I've just installed this kit, and as shown in the video above, it was very straightforward... Except the motor hub does not fit into the dropouts! The diagram on Amazon with the width of the motor hub shows it as being 135 mm. My dropouts were 135 too. But I discovered that the hub has two protruding nuts, plus the lugged washer, which take the width closer to 145. I managed to slide the hub in in the end, but the washers are outside the forks! What can I do?
An update: There was a comment on my post from another customer who had the same problem as I did, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether.
I also found a review by a German customer on Yose Power’s website, who had to pay the local bike shop 40 euros to widen his forks so the motor hub would fit. I tried to do the same thing using a car jack but the forks just snapped back into place.
I watched as many youtube videos as I could find which showed the rear motor hub heing inserted into the forks. Most of them put the lugged washers on the outside, not the inside. Some advised strongly to do it this way. See the video ua-cam.com/video/dh65XAgvrkU/v-deo.html, from about 6:30 onwards.
Yose Power were very responsive when I contacted them through their website, but made the point that there would be many more complaints if other customers had the same problem as I did. In the end, they suggested putting slimmer washers in.
Lots of people who were doing conversions advise using a torque bar, which is what I am going to do. It’s on order, and should provide the extra safety the kit needs.
Did u have to force the hub in ? Because my bike's back dropout is 135mm and some say it wont fit because the instalation with is 140mm and im not sure if bending my frame a bit while installing it would be possible.
If it is an aluminium frame you can't spread it - steel, you can.
You didnt do anything with the brakes? I have a bulls bushtail can i convert it?
hi thanks for the vid i am ordering one of these do you need to wire the pedal assist to make it work or can you just wire the thumb throttle if so does the thumb throttle rev to full power can you let me know please thanks
You can do both very easily
@@christopherdooley9324 thanks ive done 2 of these kits 1 on a voodoo bizango and 1 on a c boardman both work very nice i didnt fit the brakes or the thumb throttle as not needed but certainly good kit as the control box is part of the battery
6.35 in...shows why you use a proper spanner not an adjustable!
And why didnt you torque the brake disc🤔
Brilliant video, I also have a Vulcan bike and will be using your video as a guide soon after ordering the same kit. I have 2 questions? Did you have to drill the 2 holes in the frame for the battery or use the 2 screws already in place for the bottle holder? Does the motor hub wheel come with accompanying axle nuts, my existing wheel has a quick release.
Hi, I used the existing bottle cage mount holes and it literally has 1mm of clearance to get the battery in. My frame is a medium. I think all kits assume you have a QR or through axle so they do come with their own serrated axle lock nuts. You also get spacer nuts and washers to get it aligned.
Hi, I have some questions before ordering a kit I’ve just made a video if you could take a look and let me know if it’s possible I would appreciate it! Thanks again love the video by the way
does it come with a key
Do you use this on the road on the uk? If so aren't you worried about the 250 watt limit on ebikes? I know it's unlikely you'll be stopped but is it worth the risk?
Can I leave out the hand throttle and the brake switch? And only use crank position sensor?
Yes
Can you use these sorts of kits if you don't have disk brakes? Was thinking about converting my old mountain bike with one of these kits
Yes, can install with it without. I'd say it's easier to install without disc brakes as you don't need to worry about the hub alignment as much.
You don't even need to install the brakes that come with the kit so you can just leave the stock bike brakes in place.
Any ideas on why my one doesn't work.
1000w 48ah.
Fitted it all together and the cruise/ walk speed works.
But thats it.
Everything is connected and powered up. Even with a cycle it wont engage
Are you sure the pedal sensor is working?
@@unehour
I will check it out in the morning
Looks like you need to move the pedal sensor closer I had the same problem with mine

Why here this is just an ebike channel
Great video. I received the AW rear wheel conversion kit from Amazon. My bike shop looked at it and there are two problems. First problem is that my Shimano crank is tapered and the PAS takes up room so that my crank will not slide back on all the way, I can tighten the bolt but the crank is not seated all the way and the bike shop said it will eventually wear out the crank arm since it is not tightly seated. Is there a PAS system that will work in this case? Also the derailer rubs in top gear and the bike shop said no way to fix except to adjust to lose the top gear.
I got this kit but the freewheel instead of cassette. I’m having problems fitting my freewheel on the motor as it gets so tight that it won’t freely spin. Any suggestions
I have the same issue. Any solution?
@@prudhvi_galiyes I took bike to shop and they put specific sized washer between the motor and freewheel. I say specific size is because you can’t just find it in any DIY store
Pls send a link where to buy parts.. Thank you
Do you get drag from the motor when you cycle with the system turned off?
No not much
Do you have the link to the kit you used please
I installed a yose 350w kit on my son's bike with identical display screen and just wondering what the number means next to where it says BMS, last time I looked it said 418 BMS.
I have the same display. If you look closely, there is a tiny decimal point after the second digit on the BMS section. So 418 is actually 41.8 and it is the battery voltage. There is a 'V' over to the right but it's not obvious. When my 36V battery is fully charged it reads between 41.6 and 41.8 - when down to around half charge it's 36.0 V
is it possible to install a 10x cassette without problems?
How did it behave on the road please?
Hi, absolutely fine on the road with the right tyres. If you have suspension forks then it helps a lot to have a lockout switch also. That way the ride dosent feel bouncy and there's more power on the road.
Anyone give advice on converting a crossfire 3 it has 700c wheels
Where was this kit from please ?
what breake sensor you use?
How would I install one on a single speed bike? What do I need ? Can you please help.
4:42 don't use them! What happens is that if you leave the bike sat for a decent period of time all the 'slime' drains down and collects and dries in the inside of the value. You will find it really hard to pump air in to the tyre, it happened to me! I just bought kevlar 'postie' tyres and never had a puncture again.
True …
please make more videos of riding your bike
I find it suspicious his entire channel consists of three yose power videos and it makes me think he is sponsored or works for them
Have any of you put this kit on?
Do you have the link please
I have the same bike i am looking to put a kit on is this bike a 18in frame with 26in wheels ?
Hi John. Did your battery fit OK?
Hi great video. Just a question, how do you know if you have a cassette or freewheel type?
Thanks
A cassette slides onto the free hub and then tightens with a lock ring a free wheel screws directly into the hub
Im considering the same hailong battery but concerned my triangle is too small for it. It measures 43x30x53cm, could you tell me what yours is mate?
Can you fit this to a bike with normal brake calipers?
Yes
I don't get why so many eBike kits are so much louder than mine.
Mines 2,000W and it's dead silent. Even loaded you can't hear it over the freewheel.
I wonder if it's because I use a 8kw motor at 2k :/
It's because these hubs are geared, yours probably is a direct drive.
@@carnivorouslee
Yeah, because tons of people have geared hub motors above 5kw...
@@Psyrecx your pretty much riding a moped then, it's no the goal of these low powered hubs.
very good, I want to learn how to install and uninstall the wheels
Where do i set the controller?
will it run without the cadence sensor, just usimng the throttle?
It works with just the throttle with no cadence, but I recommend you use the cadence sensor.
Yes
Do you have a link to the kit?
good
Hi there just asking did you use the cassette from the donor bike. If you did was this straight forward.
I did yes, the kits come in casette and freewheel variety if need be. You just need a chainwhip and cassette removal socket if your donor bike has a cassette. Very easy in theory but sometimes takes a lot of force to undo on an old bike.
@@bikeplusone2736 what was wrong with the cassette in the existing kit?
The kit comes with the tools to fit the kit, which I looked even a chain whip and cassette removal tool
@@acelectricalsecurity did u buy one? im really interested.
@@danhle1032 yeah I bought one, it is very straightforward to install, unfortunately my kit was missing the wheel nuts, so I have not been able to use it, they are sending me some, a nice kit.
Although if you have a hollow tech crank you will need a different Pas sensor, I had to put the sensor ring on the chain ring side, didn't realise by doing this the pas would only only kick in when I pedaled backwards.
so we dont need to remove our original brake?
Yes only if you want to
What made you choose this over a mid drive unit
I prefer Mid-drives for sure, but a decent one costs a lot more.
Do you have install the brake sensor?
No
Did you install brake lever that came with the kit ?
Anyone know of there is any custom firmware for this system or software updates
How did you mount the pedal assist sensor
I just used a cable tie but I'd recommend using Sugru (mouldable rubber) if your bike frame is an irregular shape.
👌👏👍
And what about the brake sensors?
Not required
Whst price this kit
Nice bike i wish i have one
Are the rear wheels strong on these kits cheers
Great Vids. Is it still going? :)
BR
I've just bought this unit and after researching the reviews, many people who bought over a year ago state that it's still as good as the day they bought it :)
Bro it’s cassette or flywheel??
Hello, what’s your bike’s rear dropout length?
WOW⚡⚡⚡⚡👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏⭐🌟⚡⭐💫
Nice video but the only mistake, you did not put a link for your items.
Skipped important parts I believe
