I don't know the specs on the controller. The motor is 1000w so I would like a battery that can handle up to 25A continuous to be safe. Of course I don't know if the controller is rated that high or if the motor can truly take that much current. The 15A bottle battery may not be sufficient as...

My uncle bought an ebike hub motor conversion. It is an inexpensive one from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Battery-Powered-Bicycle-Conversion/dp/B00GIXZKP8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1431375011&sr=8-6&keywords=48v+ebike+motor Says it is 48v 1000w. Not sure if the 1000w is accurate but...

Looks cool and sure it performs well but looks heavy. Mine was relatively light and still not that easy to fold/handle. At least for me.

Apparently, they are closing soon at least as far as conversion kits. They are getting into complete bikes. They didn't want to service my motor. Not sure what good it is buying from them at huge markup if they wont even service the motors. Might as well buy direct from China. Well maybe at...

Thanks, ill keep it in mind but most likely will hold off. This motor was a spare. No bike for it yet anyways.

I wish it was that easy. This style of motor doesnt have screws on the plate, just three (holes)divets. Basically, you need a lot of downward pressure so the pins dont slip out of the divets and a heck of a lot of torque. As one person described it its like taking off lug nots but with...

Was a disaster. Don't think those motors are meant to be opened. I ended up shearing the bolts on my tool that i fabricated. The bolts were 1/4-20. I wound up destroying the threads on the freewheel. Its basically a throw away now. Just not worth dealing with it. In addition amped bikes is...

Ok thanks for the help guys. Looks like a very simple tool would work but that big hole is a problem. Don't have anything that can cut that. Maybe in aluminum i could do it....just wonder if aluminum is strong enough.

yikes..said he spent a day making the tool. Anyone know which spanner wrench works? or where to buy the actual tool? Seems it took a lot of torque to get it loose so doesn't sound like any make-shift tool will work.

Can't seem to find info on opening these motors. Would like to better repair a severed wire but this will require opening it. Looks like it unscrews? but may need a special tool. How is amped bikes when it comes to repairing these motors. They are chronically unavailable it seems...

I have been overall happy with them but I have noticed that they are not very fast at shipping and their customer service is not stellar. You have to be willing to put up with a little lackluster service to save money. Always a tradeoff. Don't see that kiwipete did anything wrong by airing...

Yes I have electrified my Dahon. It has a rear amped bikes hub motor but I would like to go all friction drive since it is much lighter.

ok and thanks. I think you are the only one that replies to my posts. :lol: I did manage to get the internal halls to work. Felt really good. In one direction the timing seemed to be too advanced. Fortunately, when I switched the wired around in the direction I needed it to spin it ran...

So if the sensors are placed at 120 degrees internally on a delta wound motor an i reterminate the motor in wye without changing the hall sensor position? Or will the timining be off in wye configuration?

well you know us Americans and you Brits don't see left and right the same. That's why we have our steering wheels on different sides and drive on different sides of street :D
