Spokes for hub motor bike conversion kit

Q: I ordered a 750W hub motor last month. Now I am going to fix a 20 inch bike motor wheel. Are there standard spokes with nipples I can order on leaf motor online anywhere as order bike conversion kit ? If so- where ( what ’s the standard, exact measurements ) ? If I order from you, what would be the price? A: It's very difficult to replace spokes for hub motor ,there are not standard ones. The length of spoke is lie on the dia.of hub motor and bike rim. Ours are double alloy rims,20" rim: eyelet to eyelet is 360mm. If you order rim and spokes with nipples,just costs $30USD,but the shipment costs $100USD Because the vol. of bike rim is very large. If you don't order bike rim, just order spokes with nipple, it’s very hard to done your bike kit. Why not order bike conversion kit directly ? Another way, you order 20 inch bike motor wheel with rim and hub. But without rotor winding. When you receive this hub wheel, you should disconnect your hub motor, take the rotor winding out of your hub, and put into this 20 inch wheel. This is the best choice. Cost less, easier to solve your issue. Q: I tried to take out a spoke and I was successful. I then tried to put the spoke back into the bike rim and I succeeded again. So I would like to order a set of spokes without the rim. How much would it cost? A: The price of 1 set of spokes is $10USD; The price of shipment by EMS is $50USD (USA or Europe) Total price:$60USD Q: Yes, I'd like to go ahead and purchase it. To double check : - Are nipples included? - Spoke (nipples) are for 20" rim (750W motor)? - How can I pay for it – PayPal ? What's PayPal ID (email)? A: I am not sure you can install them. We will send you a set of spokes (more than 36 pieces with nipples) You could pay on our website directly. www.leafmotor.com Q: I just sent you $60USD directly via PayPal (Transaction ID#28L39717XW247817D,date 25-May-2012)I couldn't do it from your website, so you will only see PayPal payment (may not see any order) A: Could you tell me your correct address and telephone that for shipment.

18 inch hub motor bike kit

Q: Are these dimensions inches or centimeters about hub motor ? Can I pedal with this bike kit . What about the torque arm? Does it come in the conversion bike kit . These pictures are from my bike do you think that everything that need to go on the handle bars will fit, including the twist throttle, it looks small my handle bars they are thick. Do you think the 18" bike motor rim will fit on this tire, does the torque arm come with the bike conversion kit. Do you think it will fit on the tire. Do you think the battery will fit on the frame . If I order the LEP-4810 48v 10AH+charger that's the battery blue plastic packing I am going to get. if I buy the bike conversion kit everything I need comes with the bike kit I don’t need to buy something separate if for some reason I doesn't fit can I return it and get a 20'' front hub motor wheel kit how many years of warranty do I get and what does it cover. Sorry for so many questions I just need to find the right bike kit. What are the dimensions of the controller long, wide and height.

A: We have rack. If possible, controller and battery can be put on this rack.
It takes about 10s to install this rack. Your tire is fit for our 18" hub motor. Install front bike motor is easy. It takes about 2 minutes to install. Your handle bars are thick, but can't control speed. We can offer you a pas for free, when pedal, it will work. How to install this pas? Don't worry, everything you buy will be fit for your frame.20" front wheel can't be install on your front fork. Install 18inch wheel is the best choice. Can I get a question, img22mm enclosed? What size of your aluminum tubes,φ22 or φ25? Standard dia. is φ22.It's install our throttle, brake levers..

Q: But I don't like the rack is there a way do put the battery and the controller on to the frame. My friend told me I need carbon fiber stands. How can I tell if the handle bars are 22s or 25s. I measured them but it’s hard to get the actual thickness they are round. I think they are 22s, but still can you help me figure it out. Does the bike kit have a warranty. Do I need the pass how do I install it do I take off the pedal then I put in, what about the torque arm does it come with the kit, that is important, also how fast do I pedal or I just twist the throttle and it goes. What are the dimensions of the rim with the bike motor, I just need the thickness to see if it is ok. Does the battery and the controller heat up do they need to breathe, because I don't like the rack I’m thinking of mounting the battery and the controller with duct tape, I don't want to burn them they are expensive.

How to build spokes on hub motor for electric bike ?

DIY electric bike conversion kit and convert your bike is funny. Sometimes we prefer to purchase spoke hub motor , bike rim and spokes. And build spokes on electric bike motor by ourselves.
If we want to convert 26inch front wheel, we should purchase 1 set of front spokes hub motor, 26inch rim and 36pcs of spokes. We can purchase them from leaf bike motor shop online.
Received goods and check them:
1. How many spokes you received. Generally we need 36 pcs spokes to built on hub motor and 12 gauge spokes for electric bike. 13, 14 gauge spokes are too thin, just for common bike.
2. There are 36 eyelet on bike rim and hub motor.
3. Check nipple and the dia. of eyelet on rim, make sure the nipple can put into eyelet.
Calculate the length of spoke :
If you use 205 leaf front hub motor, the eyelet to eyelet of rim is 511mm that is 26inch rim, spokes should be 155mm length.
You need below tools to install spokes on hub motor.
1.iron shelf
2.slotted screwdriver
3.nipple wrench
4.magnet
5.rubber hammer
6.tape measure
7.calipers
Done check, everything is okay. But we found the dia. of nipple is 4.5mm and the rim is also 4.5mm. These eyelets are too small. See pictures.
Get an electric drill and 4.8mm aiguille. Drill 36 pcs of eyelets on bike rim first. Adjust the iron shelf so that the dia. is 100mm. Because standard front fork is 100mm. Then put the rim inside the iron shelf, hold on the hub motor. Make the first spoke wear into hub from left side, the next from right side. One by one from left side to right side. Done install all 36 pcs of spokes, please check them whether correct. See pictures.
If no problem, we should hold spokes on rim by nipples First hold one spoke on left side, then cross to fix another spoke on left side. Next step, cross two spokes on rights side and fix them. Left side, right side, a group of four spokes. See pictures.
Fix all spokes, we should use wrench to tight spokes a little, please don’t be too tight. Use hand to turn wheel, make sure there is no noise from friction of rim and nipple. Use rubber hammer to knock rim when the wheel is running so that the rim will be not jumping up and down. Still to tight spokes a little. See pictures.
Turn wheel, you will find the rim from left side to right side. In order to make the wheel running in the middle. We use calipers to measure and get the data. Then use a magnet to hold a pin. See pictures. If rim to the left, we tight right side spokes or loose left side spokes. See pictures.
It takes about 1 hour to build an wheel.

How-to-build-a-hub-electric-bike-motor

These days hub electric bike motor wheels are used for e-bikes widely. Nearly all of hub bike motor are brushless gearless. Because of low noise, high efficiency, long life are popular with riders.
Order 1 set 12" 14" 16" 18" 20" 24" 26" 700c 28" inch hub motor kit, convert your common bike to e-bike is so easy. Directly front or rear drive your bike.
The important part is an engine -hub motor. How to build this electric bike motor?

Step 1: winding
Calculate motor power, speed RPM and confirm what type of copper wire would you use. Next is fix a rotor on the steel shelf, wind copper wires by handwork or machine. It takes about 1 hour to done it by handwork. And should use rubberized fabric to wrap your fingers. Nipping copper wires will break your fingers.
Step 2:soak paint
After winding should soak paint in order to be insulated. Use brush to put the insulated paint on the winding and make sure be soaked everywhere. It takes about 24 hours.
Step 3:press axis into rotor
Put axis into rotor winding and use a key to fix axis. Use A-B glue to paste three hall sensors on hub motor rotor, put 9-pin (three pin/each hall) into PCB and use insulated wire to fix it. Put 8-pin cable inside the axis and heavy yellow, blue, green wires to connect the three copper wires(Phase A,B,C) separately. Thin red, black wires are be weld to PCB + and - .
Step 4:paste magnet
Paste magnet inside hub, one N pole, next S pole ..one by one. More magnet, higher torque, more power. The height of our magnet is 30mm,6mm higher than other hub motor. In market,24mm high magnet only build max 500w electric bike motor. So our bike motor works at 36V can reach 750w.
Put the rotor winding inside the magnet hub, be careful hand. It has powerful magnetism.
Step 6:install two covers
Before installing both covers, we should press bearing into cover. Use hexagon wrench to tight screw nuts. When you hear "poop" from electric bike motor. That means install correctly. Done it.
Power on battery and use bldc motor controller to drive this hub motor. If no any strange noise. It's okay.
