Voilamart Front Hub Ebike Kit Installation [1000Watt DIY EBIKE]

[@lisamuller278]

*Works great my **Latest.Bike** I have a bad knee so I still get exercise but the bike assists me. I am a big guy so I didn’t think it would go as fast but it works great.*

Great to hear that your experience is positive.

Hello dear wonderful go cart race 😊😅

[@kjohns1413]

Having a shark battery in a rear bag is a lot more versatile than a rear rack battery. My UPP rear rack battery clunks around and seems heavier than my other packs. Great video.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Do you mean a shark battery like this? amzn.to/3AtmvEb

[@expedition-electric3549]

Thanks!

[@kjohns1413]

@@expedition-electric3549 Sorry I meant the battery you used is better because you can use in the triangle or mount on the rear if needed. Good choice.

[@expedition-electric3549]

@@kjohns1413 Ahh Gotcha, Thanks!

[@user619tlsdca5]

I used a anti heat wrap on my battery to reflect light away. Keeps stuff cool.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Sounds like a great idea!

[@Jamo-qw4xu]

Music volume was too loud. Just a observation

[@expedition-electric3549]

Gotcha, got a better mic and will turn down music.

[@user619tlsdca5]

I leave the throttle connectors Off before connecting battery terminals. If the terminals last connection, it will discharge a bit.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Ok will do next time

[@milenkosoe]

I cannot find the video in the description for connecting the terminals to the battery wires, so you can connect to the controller. I looked twice before checked all comments to see if anyone else asked as well.

[@djrichylaurence8991]

Torque brace should be on the front of the forks and the controller bag should have a small hole for the cables to feed through.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Why is it at the front?

[@Frank087]

@@expedition-electric3549 I have mine just like yours, I followed the many pictures (official and customer) to guide me.

[@completesalvation1755]

Front hub motors should not normally be used because the front fork is not designed to be pulled by a motor and can eventually break off. Also a front hub is very unstable in loose dirt gravel and rain.

[@djrichylaurence8991]

But the weight helps gain traction in the wet.

[@expedition-electric3549]

I see

[@johnholmes9472]

I have not noticed any lack of stability using a front drive versus a rear drive assembly. But then for the most part I drive my ebike on pavement anyway.

[@Billy-burner]

There are no need to install torque arms, providing you Dremel/drill out a cavity for the hook washers to bed into.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Didn't even think of that.

[@NormanWray-hi8cu]

Hello dear sir enjoy fixing your ebike rear drive hub 😊😅

[@abrahamyuantsur8528]

Thx 🙏

[@user619tlsdca5]

Jus noticed the frame is pre hardtail model so that rack will work.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Yeah was ok bike.

[@SlimShotGaming]

What’s the name of the kickstand you used? I don’t see it in the description at all…

[@alancollard8939]

where is a on off switch on the battery my battery is live , went to plug it in and got a direct short to ground ,w t f , checked the on off button the twist grip ?, so there is no real on or off switch ,just the red push button , ? the instruction are less than vague, as i would have thought even with the red button on there would be no current drain untill you open the twist grip , i assume this is proportional

[@diggy2107]

Do they sell these at Walmart?

[@hopenauman6133]

Where do I get a replacement tire only for that hub wheel?

[@expedition-electric3549]

You would look at the black numbers on the tire and then order that size on amazon.

[@mariospagoni6140]

The arm should be at the front of forks

[@expedition-electric3549]

Gotcha

[@johnbiringer8123]

What if you have disc brakes? Can you put a disc on the front hub kit?

[@expedition-electric3549]

Might be challenging. I've done mid drive motors with disc brakes.

[@mirandadonatucci6915]

I need the battery pack didn't come with the ebike tire convertion can u find me the right battery?

[@medusa569]

I‌ use a 36 volt battery. I‌ made a battery pack myself.

[@johnholmes9472]

Hello and thanks for the video. It's been a couple of years since I completed my installation on the violamart front hub motor. I have a flat tire and cannot not remember how to disconnect the front motor lead from the tire in the most easy manner. Obviously I don't want to mess up the motor. Can you advise?

[@expedition-electric3549]

Hello, Were you able to find a solution to your problem?

[@johnholmes9472]

Yes. I had installed connectors to the controller box that I unplugged and fished out the old tire/tube over the wires and put the new one on. It was a little messy but it worked out okay.

[@jeanq.687]

Can you install this on an ebike with an motor already installed

[@expedition-electric3549]

Hmmm not sure, probably not.

[@weedwarrior6961]

has it been worth it?

[@expedition-electric3549]

Yeah I like the mid drive bike the best .

[@LVirus702]

I’ve installed several of these. Not one has been green to green, yellow to yellow, blue to blue. That usually results in the motor spinning backwards. I came to see which blue wire restricts it to 750W but couldn’t see that 😡

[@expedition-electric3549]

Oh I see. were you able to find a solution?

[@abrahamyuantsur8528]

I just bought the wheel. Do I have to purchase the battery (Unit Pack Power)? Or does it function automatically with an internal battery? If there is such a thing. Thx 🙏

[@stevenrussell9501]

Yes you need a battery to power the motor. 48v 13ah

[@johnbiringer8123]

Do you put the torque arm on the front or behind the fork

[@expedition-electric3549]

Maybe both?!

[@medusa569]

I bought a kit and haven't been able to use it due to lack of customer support. I want to use my old 3 wire thumb throttle and no PAS. Will it even work like this and if so then hw do i wire the throttle they have on the controller to work with my thu7mb throttle???

[@expedition-electric3549]

We're you able to find a solution to your question.?

[@medusa569]

@@expedition-electric3549 NAw....I‌bought a twist throttle and applied that . I‌figure I can cut it down to use as a thumb throlle andf that was easier than trying to figure out a controller that has no literature. I just won't buy chinese controller anymore unless there is paperwork.

[@medusa569]

@@expedition-electric3549 Actually since the chinese didn;'t address the controllers and throttles wirig I‌resort to buying a six wire throlled and am using that with the cutting down of the twist throttl and turning it into a thumb throttle.

[@williamevans2176]

I purchased the same kit but came with the PAS parts. Was wondering if that needs to be installed as it appears to be a European requirement only.

[@expedition-electric3549]

You may want to install as a safety feature

[@TheMatixen]

hi , nice video! im installing my ebike kit and have the same type of battery, how did u attach it to the rear rack or to the bag? or did you just placed it in the bag like the controller? pls reply

[@expedition-electric3549]

Hello TheMatixen, Thanks! You can either get a bag like this www.amazon.com/dp/B07PD2MP59/?tag=expeditione05-20. These bags connect to rear rack with straps on bag. Or you can get some straps like these for better airflow on your battery. www.amazon.com/dp/B08MZYWQ3L/?tag=expeditione05-20

[@whisperingblues9887]

Wouldn't bother with those brake cut outs they really are a ball buster those things.

[@expedition-electric3549]

haha I hear you

[@dinoworld112]

I think you put the torque arm in the wrong direction.

[@expedition-electric3549]

You mean flip the steel arm part facing the other direction?

[@MVONTSOLOS]

Can you add a disk break to this?

[@expedition-electric3549]

Not really when the bike has the other type of brakes.

[@abitofthisabitofthatwithda5379]

um... why would you use twist shift for that setup?? look butinine and awkward! too dang busy!

[@expedition-electric3549]

It worked

[@thebikeguy6159]

Is this ebike conversion kit similar to the AW kit?

[@expedition-electric3549]

Yes, I believe it's quite similar. It may have a slightly different controller set up, but similar in performance.

[@burb72]

my wife got me this kit for my birthday, the amazon link says on road only. why?

[@completesalvation1755]

Front hub motors are unstable in rain and gravel and dirt. They are also unsafe because the front fork is not designed for the pulling force of the motor and can eventually break off the front fork, possibly while at speed.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Not a great ride for off road

[@bobcammarata2338]

WHY DON'T E-BIKE DEALERS TELL THERE CUSTOMS ABOUT eBike torque arm AND THAT THEY NEED TO INSTALL THEM?

[@expedition-electric3549]

Not sure!

[@dougfurr5217]

So its illegal to use on anything but private property..........................750W is the legal limit for US street use. I rather have a 750W mid drive that allows to keep my gears, increasing the climb ability, and top speed. Both of with would be greater than a 1000w hub motor.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Yeah I hear you. I enjoy the feel of the mid drive over the hub drive and it does have other advantages, But I do get the exact same speed from 1000Watt rear hub drive as I do with the 1000Watt Mid Drive Conversion. Both reach 28mph

[@bytemuncher1]

Sometimes you may not want to pedal. If you can have a bicycle AND a moped then why not? Also, geared hubs and mid-drives violate the principle of least complexity which sure as sh** means increased maintenance and t-shooting in the long run.

[@BlankSlate1111]

who gives a damn whats legal? if a cop is worried about a GD overpowered bike instead of stopping these democrats from looting our cities then he's a GD psychopath.

[@damicprincessianna3537]

Do you need to paddle to make it start

[@stevenmiller9198]

No you do not unless if you set up peddle assist

[@normanwray1341]

Hello 29 PSI air 😅

[@expedition-electric3549]

True

[@joap7677]

The pedal assistant doesn't work

[@MP-zf7kg]

the magnetic ring and the sensor need to be pretty close together.

[@expedition-electric3549]

Were you able to figure it out?
