Is there ANY decently priced after-market E-bike wheel that will fit on a 24" wheel? I'm starting to really need one of these in TinyTown at my age.
500+dollars is not cheap. But I will say I found similar versions of the wheel and battery sold separately. All for about $245US dollars, but thanks for the idea.
Hey where can I find the stuff sold separately? What do I look up
You knocked this video out of the park! Clear, concise and well done ✔ . Thank appreciate it!
An extremely well done review! Thorough yet succinct. Illustrative yet not distracting nor boring. You are well spoken and you edited your video well. Well done and informative.
I like videos of new products that cover all the relevant info and cost of the products. Makes it so much simpler to plan my retirement.
Robert Palmer Costs? I must have missed something.
Didn't even know this existed! I lost my license due to my loss of vision 2 years ago and I bought a bike but never use it (I'm too out of shape) but this could be my new alternative to driving. Thanks for sharing!
Good luck chick
i just took a look to your channel. Everybody should take a look.
@@grindel80 Thank you :)

How are you..
From indonesia
This kit looks like the best way to go to build a quad-shopper. Two bikes welded side by side with side by seats for my old sweety and me...a bit of a basket in back for the grits. The grocery store is only one mile from where I live.
I'm going to use this motor on my recumbent. I will examine the battery pack and seek guidance on how to add a back up motor so I get more mileage from my trike. I'm partially paralyzed all the way down my left side and I've had 4 heart attacks in 2019. I refuse to give up on not being able to taking care of myself if I can come up with ways to get around so I can do my own shopping. I grow a lot of my own vegetables and enjoy eating healthy salads and making great tasting soups. Live life to the fullest because we only get one life to live.
Thanks for this, and I hope things get better for you!
U actually get reincarnated. I've died twice just in this life and was sent back for whatever reason.
@@gein2287 - What did you think of being out of body?
@@gein2287 You didn't died, those was OBE (out of body experiences)
You had those for a good reason! Nothing to fear off...
@Made Right America: Hi dude, there's no reason to give up the things you've been interested in and making trips with your recumbent bike is reason enough to live. Add some batteries, because ten batteries are much too little. The recumbent is aerodynamically better and even better a velomobile would be, but they're expensive! There are videos of a crazy german guy going everywhere with his velomobile, like from Germany to Spain (2000 miles). You'll have to fill your recumbent with batteries or you'll be stuck on hills! Keep on riding!
I love the fact that you actually opened the battery
Good job. To the point without a lot of bulls··t.
💯well said👍🏾👍🏾
Agreed 💯
One of the many good videos I've seen in a long time 👍
Soo true.
@@cunninghamelcunninghamel9425 ppp0wz,x
Thank you for the highly informative yet unpretentious demo! Nicely done...
Thanks
Had mine for over 5 years, still going strong.
Great upload .
One of the most refreshing uploads I've seen in a long time 👍💯
Well done 👌
Could you please tell me,
Is this electric assisted?
Is it related to the pedals I mean
Thanks 👍
It only powers the front wheel and isn't connected to the pedals
Yes well presented, you give the info without behaving like a pompous wanna be documentary commentator. Thanks
Eric... Can we be friends? 👍🏆
@@nigelcarren yeah....he seems cool. No bs kinda guy.
*Taking it apart. I would have to say thats a great comprehensive review!*
A brilliant idea, should and a dyno on it to top up the battery as you coast.
This is exactly what I am looking for......thank you!
I think Alibaba has this wheel kit at decent price tho I've not checked delivery costs..
that thumb push for speed control is crazy good solution for the hybridization of petrol bikes !!!
Bottom fork opening of your love car :-))
Great video,short and simple !!bravo
Techdiy: I'm going straight to the point
Others: beginning whit: Thanks to skillshare!
Really interesting, dude!!!
I bought one of these ebike kits a couple of years back,turns out it was one of the best gadgets I’ve bought. Simplicity is my favorite in gadgets like this ebike wheel hub.
How has the old bike handled it? Is there much more wear using the conversion?
@@knoppinator the bike is handling it well,I’m still riding it around the neighborhood a few days out of the week.
How long does it take for the battery to charge
@@trashsquad6863 2 hours to 3 that’s what it says on the website but I can’t find how long it lasts for if anyone knows plz let me knoe
Excellent video. Very informative, thank you
Excellent presentation - good job.
At least you selected a welded steel frame for the conversion. That's a good thing. Head set bearings are easy to change.
Very great Ebike. Make it usable everyday transportation👍❤
The phone holder at the bottom has to little "arms" that will fold upwards to secure the phone even better so it doesn't move back or forward.
For anyone interested i have this motor for two years now over 3000km done. It used to have 17km autonomy with pedaling. Now the battery only gives 8km. Great value
wondering if you can just replace the inner batteries using batteries from the internet to get back to full strength...
@@erackauskas4941 i got a cheap electric hoover battery and it works just fine and double the mileage
Can it be used without an iPhone?
@@erackauskas4941 You can buy a separate battery and run a xt-30 connector to the wheel since the inner portion where the battery is connected doesn't spin.
good job! instructive and objective product presentation
അടിപൊളി എന്താ വില
I just finished mine, and it is awesome.
Gri Barry what's the approx cost
I spend €300
Got an ebike but this looks like a nice simple conversion. Great straightforward video. Thanks for the info.
Well everyone else has said it, but I'll say it anyway: this is how to make a demo vid. No fluff, disco music, self aggrandisement or padding. Good job. As for the product, you make it look easy to fit but just a 9 mile range is way too little for me.
Well I guess the battery pack is too small and that could be the limiting factor. Given the size and easy of installation I think this is not a bad, but I also think that it could be sold cheaper though.
This is exactly what I need. Omg thank you God bless
6666 as a password, maybe they were thinking of the guy downstairs lol!
Thanx a-million for the share Sir. Peace 🙂
I recently put one on my wife's bike. Easy install. Max speed on a flat without peddling is about 15mph.
Sorry for asking but how much does it cost?
That's fast! Thanks 😊
@@davidmiller9595 350
Fab video straight to the point and clear. Thanku
Nice review, zero bullshit. Good job.
I like the concept. The battery on the hub seems like alot of front end weight.
It's also a very small battery pack for this application. It's not a great design.
Looks fantastic I’ve got to get one well done buddy well explained
I'm definitely interested. Those freeway overpass bridges is killing me. I could use some uphill assistance.
Simple, clear and easy. I like it
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for this review, it’s the only decent informative video. But you never mentioned hill climb how long battery last before needing a charge and if it can still be ridden with battery off.
But besides these a great informative video.
Also can you remove the tire around the spokes of the battery wheel and put your own tire on the spoke of battery wheel?
Front wheel drive bike always been dreaming about it 👀
@techydiy - Thank your for your review. Does this unit work without PAS or break bensors? What is your experience with the range. The capacity has from my point of view something between 70Wh and 100Wh (1P10S with 18650 with ~2500mAh each). Is this right? This is not much compared to conventional ebike conversion kits with 300-400Wh batteries. What do you think?
Best video on the subject
Cool lil kit
Great review. Short and to the point 👍
Although I think a range of 9miles isn't that impressive
Could always have a reserve battery.
Try the rubee friction motor attachment
Many thanks for this great video..
Fantastic review!
Useful and Interesting .... very ... Thanks :)
that is a good design for easy installation. I dare say that is the very easiest ebike conversion I have seen (that makes sense)... MarkMannM2
Thank You ! VERY helpful :-)
Best review mate subscribed
Cool, wonder if they sell extra batteries or a charger (generator) that could mount to the bike
It seems possible for me to do it now. :) Thanks
Some day it would be nice to integrate sturmey archer drum brake instead of disc.
How has it held up? Can you do a 9 month review?? With the unit off or drained of power, is there any resistance pedaling? Thanks
Is there a follow up video? I always wonder about longevity.
The power connector on the battery is actually an XT30. I found that out after I needed to replace mine.
Awsum Video !!!!
Does it support 29" bike as well ????
Great video. What is the small round disc with little round contacts on it that is connected to the red wire for?
I rode 1200km in 1 month on this motor. I soldered an external xt 30 connector to the battery and added a fuse. Now i ride over 30km at 32kmph without voltage sag with full power from beginning till end of journey. I bought a pair of 4ah powertool batteries and made a series connector to get the voltage to 42 volts. I also added a small charging circuit so i can charge the bike with 12-36 volt batteries/output
Build quality is amazing for the price. The waterproof and reduced wiring is simply amazing
This motor is very efficient at top speed.
Nice presentation.
So many unanswered questions. How far is the range? Is there any kind of acceleration? What’s the cost? What’s it like on hills? Regenerative braking?
Oh i love this e bike kit its amazing, i would say i love it because, at the same time i can pedallin without disturbing the motor infront because it is independently working the motor on the front wheel while the other one is on the rear. You can pedalling on the rear wheel. and the most of it you can off the motor while pedalling on the level road which you can save the power battery. Sir would you share the web site? ....to where this stuff to buy?
I had a bad leg injury this could help me build leg muscles again with a little power assistance.
To avoid further injury, make sure you have disc brakes. This model is in the same gear all the time, where a mid-mounted motor works through the gears and is more versatile. Good luck.
Great video
looks like a great kit, one of the easiest to install. I am a bit concerned though that the battery capacity is a little low, my current batteries are both at least 10,000 mah and I would like them to be of larger capacity.Unless this thing is super efficient and 3200mah is enough. I would buy but I feel my next kit should be at least 1000watt.
Looks like you can buy an extra battery for as low as $100 if you search front wheel ebike battery
@@rlanesports Low? $250?
I wonder if you mounted a front wheel kit like to a bike that already has a rear wheel kit with twist throttle how they would work together. Not necessarily controlled by the same EDC just standalone but on the same bike.
Craftsman!!
This is a fast bike!
So how do I get that kit to turn my regular bike into electric bike who do I get a hold of please let me know thank you I'm impressed with that ideal I would like to buy it purchase it and turn my bike into electric bike
Thanks for the video.
😎👍 Any idea on the durability, range of this kit? How difficult it is to replace the cells etc? Cost of replacement batteries?
He did say 9 miles or 40 minutes. The battery cells (of which there are 10) are on ebay/amazon. They are the 3.7V 18650 batteries. Avoid the cheap ones though. They are always fake and dangerous too. Plus they do not last.
Have you tested another battery on this motor? I left my bike on the rain and it damaged the battery I’m having trouble replacing it. The link on the bio is out of stock. I’m trying to figure out if I can buy another different battery or if I need this specific battery. Please help
Damn, this is still about as expensive as my whole bike, but a steal for these conversion kits, i might have to save up some money and get this if its good
The price has gone up a lot since I made this video. But Banggood often discount this stuff by large amounts, so you can pick them up for quite a good price, you just have to watch out for sales promotion
Hav had one 4 a year nd hav ben very pleased,would like to buy another battery for it
Were you able to find a backup battery?
First bit looks like he's on Endor!
I enjoyed watching the video, do you think you can put your own custom speed in it like over 20mph
THANKS.
Nice clip! Compared to an electric bike it is less expensive, but for something "home made" it is still high priced $$$ for me!
Can you convert a bike to an all wheel drive one, & make a video please? Thanks.
Rear wheel installed motor works better than front installed
When peddling and without the motor being engaged does it cause any drag ?
you should get torque arm or at least torque tabbed washers to motor does not fall out due to vibration
Ich habe das Problem das 2 Kabel gerissen sind und ich muss wissen wie geht das Gehäuse auf, da wo das Kabel in die felge geht ist ein Loch aber es reicht nicht aus um an die defekten Kabel zu kommen muss doch zum Öffnen sein habe gerade die Schrauben rings um den Motor aber der Deckel hängt und geht nur 2-3mm auf aber so komme ich nur an den Motor hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen grüße
Pretty cool, but the battery is quite wimpy.
But the simplicity and the freedom of no battery bar on a stock bicycle. That's not bad. Maybe it could be redeveloped to store a nicer Battery in the same space. Regardless I just need something to take me 3 miles to work and 3 miles back. It's uphill one way but that's why I need the motor 😂.
Also an extra 2 or 3 batteries on a back bracket would make it pretty legit also.
What size spacing does the fork needs to be? Cause I have a mountain bike but the imotor wheel simply won't fit. The Imotor wheel is like 4.5 inches wide at the hub and my bike hub spacing is only around 3.5 inches.
The price ? How long does battery last and how long it takes to fully charge?
I do like this kit unfortunately I followed your links and checked I'm actually quite convinced that there's something wrong with my ability to do reasoning here I'm looking at probably 15 different options and they look like different brands and instead of wheel sizes.
If it was possible could you link me to specifically this kit and I'm a bit confused shouldn't I be able to buy this kit and then select a tire size?
The main thing that wasn't covered in this was how to go about deciding what model and ordering
This video should become a template for other utubers . Thank you for not wasing my time and speaking clearly
115.2 watt hour output so 31 mins runtime at full 240watts power
Nice video! But the only issue I have is that, it is not a water proof. I live in UK and it rain s alot...
Hi can you tell me which link would be for the charger to the battery on the tire? Thank you.
Anything for a 2019 27.5" Pivot Switchblade rear wheel?
That's nice but a motorized bike is cheaper and faster but harder to assemble, how long does the battery last on the fastest speed
Would that wheel fit suntour raidon suspension forks
That equipment is just for front or there's for the back as well?
It's one wheel drive. Front wheel drive. It's more complicated but you can make a 2 wheel drive bicycle to go faster faster. Of course. Double the power being used in a way.
Pity they don't do one to replace a 26" x4" wheel for a fatbike, a point though, Banggood wont deliver the IMortor conversion kit to the UK at the moment for some reason best know to themselves.
Sir, where I can get this hub motor in India to use with Honda Street 100 auto cluch......
My buddy has this. The range is 8 to 10 miles using lowest level
Can I use this for Uber eats with my road bike. Would just need it for hills and steep inclines.
Is there a way this could be used without a smart phone? Is there a way to piggyback an additional battery?
