    Ok, I found some conhis motor pics and it seems I might not be missing anything. The hub motor axle is just little odd.

    The build stalled over the summer. I have just had too much fun riding my other bikes. I also almost sold the DH frame and moved onto a en-moto frame, but came to my senses when I realized I would need another hub motor. Now with snow on the ground it is good to continue tinkering. One of the...

    Thanks, Good to know. That complicates things a bit. I wonder if 3/8″ threaded nuts would work.

    Just an update: I bought a second-hand 1000W Conhis hub motor (HBS-48V1000W11061921) and a 48V battery. I don't know if that was stupid, but we will see. Now I need to source a controller, battery charger, TAs and some 14mm nuts. Anybody know if BMX axle nuts or normal M14 nuts will work? I...

    Ok, I will keep those in mind. Now I have been mainly trying to figure out where to purchase the conversion kit and/or motor inside EU. In the past there have been some group buys, but I guess nobody wants to participate in one anymore. The chinese holidays are coming so it will take time to get...

    I guess it could. I thought those things would be flimsy. Anyways I don`t know that is why I`m asking. How ever it is I don`t mind I took the time to do the modeling. It was good fun.

    Ok, So I'm trying to nudge the project forward. I have been working on a 3d model of the dropouts to create a custom torque arm. Basically I just copied the existing removable derailleur hangers and changed the axle hole from 10mm to 10x14mm...

    What do you guys think if I take the black dropout hanger part on above photos and machine a replacement out of steel with a hole for a 10-14mm axle would that work?

    It seems it will not be that easy to create the torque arms. Any suggestions? Just machine and attach with bolts on the swing arm?

    The project stalled a little bit since I've been busy riding my road bike, but I've been soaking up lot of stuff. Especially Grin technologies seems to have lot of cool videos on youtube. To be honest I got little bit discouraged by the drop-outs. The swing arms themselves are pretty beefy on...

    Thanks, I value the input. Faster bikes looks good. Do they post from within EU? Shopping list: * mxus motor * controller * custom torque arm fabrication? * fuse * throttle * killswitch for hydraulic brake * small backbag size battery * charger

    Thanks for the tips. Would 4t motor be best for hill climbing? Any downsides besides not being able to go really fast on the flats? <the12be>: Do you really think I would need torque arms? The frame dropout area is fairly beefy and there is a changeable dropout. I will take a pic for you.

    Where should I source the parts or should I just buy the kit from single source: * mxus motor with rim = Can I order the hub motor with 27.9mm wide 26" DH rim or should I have it built locally at a bike shop with DT E540? Gear motor? 500-3000w for hills? *controller = What is best? 12 fet or...

    Wow, That carbon fiber-look alloy battery compartment is nice. I don't think I will be able to fit in a such a large one though. I'm aiming for rides of 5-20k so what kind of Ah I should be aiming for considering I would be using it just for uphills (50%) and limping home. Do you really think...

    I've been lurking on the forum for a while, but now I'm about to start a project to electrify my trusty old downhill mountain bike. This is my first conversion and I don't know too much so I would appreciate all the help I can get. What I've gathered so far is that I would probably be better off...
