What’s the Best eBike Conversion Kit in 2023? (Hub Motor & Mid Drive)

[@ACFIMCEO]

I got the rear 20x4" conversion kit with a 48V Sabvaoton sine-wave dual-mode 45A controller, a super quiet 1500W brushless direct-drive hub motor, and a SW900 display off of ebay for $365 shipped and I luv it. I'm 6'5/250lb and it'll hit a little over 38mph with me, and 42mph with my 6'2/195lb brother on it! I've got two parallel connected 48V 10.4Ah batteries that get me around 33 miles on low-mid level driving (Setting 3/5) and about 21 miles on high-level driving (Setting 5/5).

[@tacticooldennis]

I get nail flats even on my ebike with massive dirt bike tires. I would love a Tannus insert for a 21" motorcycle tire. maybe even a plastic ribbon to prevent some punctures too.

[@hank_Reardon]

I use old innertubes. Just cut valve stem off and insert them in.

[@dalvenable331]

And tape the hell out of your rims. No flat protection on the outside of it will protect against a loose spoke head. not even slime will stop those leaks.

[@Mike-vs9vo]

You can get your tires filled with soft springy rubber at the off road or heavy/farm tire shops. Then they won't go flat. Last I checked it was about twice the price on an inner tube and tire

[@ianmangham4570]

😮Sounds heavy

[@hippynurd]

I have been messing with some ebikes, and Ive found that the best performance is the mid drive, but it comes with the cost of wear and maintenance, so you have to be willing to work on your bike a lot. The 750 watt hub motor works really well everywhere fine except the big hill that I live on (it barely makes it up), but its by far the simplest and easy to setup, and requires little to no maintenance. The geared hub motor bike, will make it up the hill, but slowly. The best one, kind of depends on what you need or want.

[@LukeAMcDowell]

When you say wear and maintenance, are you just referring to the chain and sprockets, or does the motor require more maintenance. I'm planning on building a mid drive bike. I don't want to create a bunch of issues.

[@hippynurd]

@@LukeAMcDowell As far as I know, there isnt any real maintenance on these motors, but the rest of the bike takes a beating a lot harder than human only powered bikes typically see.

[@bettyriley7295]

To me, the easiest and best way to increase speed and power is to add a front hub direct drive motor to your existing setup. Once you experience a dual wheel drive bike you will never want to go back to a rear only setup. You will, however have to use two batteries and two separate controllers, and the bike will be a lot heavier, but the extra power makes up for it. Climbing the steepest of hills is no longer a struggle.Be sure to use torque arms on the front fork. The front hub kits are pretty affordable too. I got mine for less than $250. The extra battery will cost you though.

[@jerryaubert6201]

Which front hub did you get? (link pls)

[@lordgrape5015]

Does it matter if it the rear and front hub aren't the same?

[@bettyriley7295]

@@lordgrape5015 No, it does not matter. I have a 750 watt gear driven rear wheel, and a 1000 watt direct drive in the front. In fact, I use two different voltage batteries. I use a 52v rear, and 60v front. You just have to be careful with using the front wheel, as it is so powerful. But the thing is a beast. Top speed is around 38 mph.

[@kutaren]

So im actually thinking of doing this with my older Giant E-bike. I want to add a fwd hub, do you think i could run a wire coming from the existing battery to the Hub's controller?

[@bettyriley7295]

@@kutaren Maybe it's possible, but I think you'd be better off using two separate batteries and two controllers. One battery would have to be HUGE to handle the current draw. And you would need extra thick cables to supply power, otherwise it will burn up.

The tannus tire inserts are definitely worth it i got them today and they're tough even by my standards

[@thom1218]

There are no geared hub motors currently on the market that are designed to take more than 1kw burst, 750w nominal... at 48v. Pumping 60v into one is fun, but you're going to tear up and be replacing those nylon gear MUCH sooner than probably think, especially depending on how quick you squeeze the throttle. Sure you can replace the nylon gears with metal ones, but stripping the central axle gear, which isn't user replaceable, and overheating are the next issues.

[@brianstevens7241]

I suspected such.

[@slugzkea]

[@Visiorary]

Don't put two batteries with BMSs in parallel to increase range. Run them one at a time. Don't be like Louis. Also, use the appropriate charger. Those courier douchebags weren't smart enough to do that.

[@dalvenable331]

Hailong, CAO MM batteries art an art. Those are the two battery companies I use. Have been building e-bike with them for over 5 years and never have had one fire. Even had one fellow about saw his brick in half with the rear tire (bad battery placement) but the BMS shut it down one cell smoked but no fire.

[@LS-zr8py]

What about front wheel drive conversion? 😊

[@dalvenable331]

@@LS-zr8py I have used conversion kits by Ebikeling to do front wheel drive systems because it is planetary geared which has a gear paw like your free wheel sprocket. This allow you to coast and have little to no resistance from the electric motor, a plus when you are pedaling your bike manually you don't have as much weigh. Direct drives through they have no moving parts you feel the magnet pulling if you are just pedaling without the motor. better for rear wheel conversions if you want more than 750 watt output. And direct drives are heavy so using them on front wheel drive systems makes handling the bike difficult now I have used them in cheap three wheel bike builds but generally don't like them on my bicycles front wheel. Front wheel drive pros and cons. Front wheel drives actually make your bike an AWD with PAS when you use the pedal assist system your front wheel will be driving along with your pedaling the rear wheel. The front wheel conversion kits are easy to install for the most part especially compared to installing the rear wheel systems which need to have a geared bike frames to fit, average rear drop out needed for rear wheel conversions is between 135mm to 145mm. and you replace the free wheel , adjust brakes and gears after install. Now the Cons of front wheel drive , weight. all your motor weight is forward so hang your battery aft of it. I use them on three wheel bikes all the time but have to replace the factory forks for something that can handle holding the wheel in the drop out after all front fork are not designed drive so many will fail if you don't use torque arms on both nuts. I found if you have a suspension fork they will handle the load well, so there is something to look for in a donor bike . don't use your front wheel drive system for climbing steep, loose trails off road without using you PAS. the weigh shifts back and you loose traction if you just use throttle. A few good electric bike conversion kits are AW electric bike conversion kits wheel sizes 20'' to 26' - VoilaMart conversion kits 20'' to 29'' wheels. these first two are primarily direct drive systems. Ebikeling makes both planetary geared and direct drive systems. This is the company I use when building most front wheel systems. Light, powerful and efficient plus they are water proof and very easy to install and wire. Long winded but hope this helps. One more plus of doing a conversion is if ever you grow tired of the bike it is on you simply remove it and install it to another donor frame.

[@LS-zr8py]

@@dalvenable331 thanks, alot of point i don't think about. I really appreciate the info

[@Bengy22]

For what it's worth the Cyc photon is a bbs02 competitor not the bbshd, rumor is though that Cyc has a "Proton" in the works and plans to announce it late this year which will compete with the bbshd though at a claimed 3500w peak which sounds really interesting. I still think personally Mid-drive are where it's at for raw power as the gears means you get the huge torque and high top speed. I personally run a bbshd with a aftermarket Luna ludi v2 controller to push almost 4000w at 52v (although I plan to go 72v for 5kw in the future) and to match my low end torque with also the same top speed with a big hub I would have to run almost 3 times the power. Which means more expensive parts, a bigger battery capable of 150 amps, a overall larger heavier setup etc. And I also find the wear on the drive train a little overblown, now if you want 0 maintenance that's fine go hub, but I run a strong all steel 8 speed drive-train (important to go all steel and less gears for stronger parts) which results with me getting 2k-2.5k miles before replacements are needed. And even then it's a $30 cassette and a $13 chain, imo its a downside but given the perks well worth it!

[@baitball4665]

The problem with the bafang 750watt is it might be 500watt.. I have a direct drive and 750watt non bafang geared motor and it had tons more instant torque than the non geared. Bafang screwed tons of people the only way to know if yours is a real 750watt is to open it up.

[@twinge2254]

Agreed.

[@goingoutotheparty1]

You can get over 2kw from the Bafang G60 fat geared motor you just need decent battery and controller

[@colinriches1519]

I agree. The prices for these kits are insane! Massive rip off. You're better off getting a qs90 motor and building your own mount. They're not much bigger and you can put 10kw through those motors before saturation. These bafang, bosch types of motors are terrible value for what you get. If you climb a big enough hill, your expensive motor is going to burn out. For the same money you can get brushless motors capable of producing more torque than supercars.

If you have a sluggish hub motor consider a shunt mod on your controller, it really woke up my 1000W direct drive setup.

[@user619tlsdca5]

How is the balancing between the back to front on the fat tire ebike? How much can you load extra weight in back ( if you have) before the front lift up a bit? Balancing of bikes of 20mph plus speeds is Extremely important and notice mostly overlooked. Some makers are noticing this and just putting this in thought of latest fat tire models. We can't overlook this issue with the fat tire e bikes of the higher 750 and up watt motors. Balancing is part of the practical side in example, fast speeds need solid base weight , too fast will lift front wheel off a bit if bike a bit too light but nobody see this as fact but physics shows this.

But things will move at home for the loner child cause I'm getting a surron light bee x in two weeks ✨

[@jimmyjames8736]

Yes, you can run a bigger controller on a Radpower but since the coils are undersized their motors produce less power than normal Bafang models and reach saturation limit sooner. Their motors have a soft and smooth power delivery that many people like but a Radpower is a poor choice for performance upgrades without at least swapping hub coils.

[@DeafAlone32]

@@jimmyjames8736 thanks for the info!! I can definitely tell. Since I have my SurRon the rad feel so underwhelming lmao

[@jimmyjames8736]

Yeah, your Sur Ron is a whole different performance league than our little hub motor bikes. I ride gas dirt bikes, and the Sur Ron looks like it would be a ton of fun in the woods. It is just half the weight of my gas bikes and probably feels real nimble. The optional pedal kit for it is kinda silly, though I think. Possible uses seem unlikely. I don't think that the pedals would help convince a cop that it is a 750w ebike. Using pedals to help it up hills or pedal back with a dead battery probably only works if your name is The Flash. I hope you have a blast with that new bike.

As far as reliability goes, nothing can even come close to the BBSHD. I'm honestly not too familiar with hub motor reliability, but I know that the BBSHD will last at least 5 years, then can be updated and refreshed for cheap since Bafang makes ALL the parts available for repair, and they're cheap. So far, CYC has been shown to be fairly unreliable, and very difficult, if not impossible, to repair by the end user- at least not to the degree of the BBSHD. After buying the bafang mid drive and an HV kit (or hot rodded controller of your choice), it's so much better value than anything CYC or any other manufacturer so far has done.

[@Airbender24B]

@@goinawol9447 I'll probably get one of those 3kw hub motors on Amazon after my original Lectric motor needs to be replaced. These parts are expensive and I'm not throwing away a perfecting working motor just so I can go a little faster.

CYC has horrible customer service. Purchased the photon which turned out to be defective. After 6 months of working with CYC, I returned it and went with Bafang.

[@masterblaster9838]

tannus stopped approx 0 flats on my ebike. between the weight if the bike, hub motor, and tire pressure, the foam compressed a lot. the softness of the foam also increased my tire's contact patch which led to increased tire wear, and a drop in range/top speed. i do not reccomend them at all

[@scootersonlyrepair]

You don't know how many flats it stopped. The only ones you know about are the ones they didn't stop

what kinda battery should i use with the Nb power 2000 watt 72 volt?

[@pascalbruyere7108]

Are These legal in the U.S.? What you are talking about looks more like a motor bike or moped, can you drive this on roads without licence and insurance?

[@davidmiller4758]

So if I buy a 2k watt kit, and it's 72 volt compatible, can I make it a 52volt?? I can't seem to find a 52volt 2k watt, only 72volt, and my aim is to go about 40 lmph, but I want to maximize my range, instead of going like 55 60. Maybe 1500watt dual motor 52 volt??? What do you think

[@rochekml]

Phaserunner and cycleanalyst are quite expensive

[@MagnumPopeye]

Grin cycle analysis.. I was going to buy this. But I couldn't justify the purchase unless I was running 2 motors. Price is to high wish they had a basic, cheaper setup..

[@sammiller6631]

@@MagnumPopeye Good quality costs money. Grin motors aren't made in a Chinese sweatshop factory.

[@MagnumPopeye]

Yes because all of the Bafang motors are made in Canada...We were talking about the Phaserunner and cycleanalyst not Grin motors DS@@sammiller6631

[@gilmoregibson9184]

Imagine a Tri-motor set up with 2 motors on the wheels and one mid-drive motor!

[@colinriches1519]

Tannus is good, but expensive. I'd rather just use proper motorcycle tyres with sealant.

Geared hubs are alot lighter than direct drive hubs.

I put a 5000w kit on a 29" mountain bike. I'm never going back to low power bikes.
