    Where do I get special spokes for my hub motor?

    The bike mechanic recomends that I just replace the broken spokes. I am going to take the wheel back. Inspect for cracks and if it looks ok, I'll replace the spokes myself and bring the wheel back to the shop to be trued.

    Where do I get special spokes for my hub motor?

    Ok one more thing The bike shop wants me to order the spokes self. Should I just order the spokes and install them myself and then bring the wheel in to be trued? Would I save money on labor that way?

    Where do I get special spokes for my hub motor?

    The bike shop said the spokes I need are 160mm long. None of the linked to stores in this thread show the length. Are they all a standard length or am I missing something? EDIT. I seem the length on some "310mm". The custom ones can be any length I guess. Does 160mm sound right? I don't have...

    Where do I get special spokes for my hub motor?

    A week ago or so, some spokes broke on my hub motor. I took my hub motor to a bike shop and I asked them if they work on ebikes. They said yes no problem, they'll take the wheel and have the bike mechanic look at it and they will call me later. They call me later and tell me they cannot find...

    Will my hack-job battery splice work?

    I attempted to add another battery to my bike in parallel and the way I did it was to cut the wires leading from the battery to the controller and then I rejoined them with quick splice crimping connectors, except on one side of the connector an additional set of wires are connected that then...

    Motor weak power

    Too fast but weak torque, you say? I didn't know that was possible. I may be suffering from that but I don't have a history with my motor so I'm not sure. Is there a way to know the correct setting without ride the bike each time?

    Help me figure out mismatched controller please.

    The switch connects the yellow and brown wire together. Is the plan still correct? Yellow to battery positive. Connect both brown and green to door lock? UPDATE: I reviewed the previous thread about this (linked to on my first post) and it seemed like I was on the right track based on that...

    Help me figure out mismatched controller please.

    Sorry maybe I am getting the terms mixed up. Maybe I mean ABS brakes. The kind that slow you down using the magnets in the motor.

    Do rear hub conversion kits not some with rear sprockets?

    I bought the freewheel, it was $37. Pretty expensive. i wish I had bought a wheel that had one already. I got it on and the gears shift just fine no adjusting necessary. I out a torque are on but it was really not easily fitting on. I have it on basically the only way it could go on. I out...

    Do rear hub conversion kits not some with rear sprockets?

    Thanks Dogman. The original tire has 7 sprockets and I plan to buy a freewheel with 7 sprockets. Sounds like I won't need a new shifter then? I may need more detailed help later with adjusting the derailer if necessary.

    Do rear hub conversion kits not some with rear sprockets?

    This is a lot of info for me and I am realizing I don't know much about bicycles. So I got the hub motor and it did not come with sprockets. It has threads for the sprockets. A local bike shop told me that it's for a freewheel, the donor bike has a cartridge. What do I do? Just buy a...

    Do rear hub conversion kits not some with rear sprockets?

    I have been checking ebay listings and almost all of them show the wheel missing the rear sprocket. Am I suppose to reuse the one from the donor bike? Is that easy to do?
