Great electric bike information resources

You also need to put a torque arm on. it could save your life when that wheel comes off and rear hub motors are notorious for coming loose.

[gtjust]

You need a torque arm each side otherwise otherwise it is very dangerous, imagine the wheel coming off at 30+mph.

I want to put fatter tires onto my e-bike, is it possible to remove the hub from the wheel itself and install it into another rim?

[dchudomelka]

Kirby, you did not mention the torque arm. Is that needed for the 1500 watt motor? Thanks

[woodworks]

Did your hum motor wheel come with the cassette already attached as mine just came with a thread so wondering how I attach a freehub and cassette and which specific one I need

[anthonyobryan]

Granted, you made the installation of conversion kit look like magic. It just disappeared.

Are there spacers you put between the gears and the frame? The ones I received have the gears touching the frame when mounted and it makes it hard to turn the wheel.

[datner]

Put a bit of air in the tyre tube before putting it in the tyre...that way you won't pinch the tube when inflating and pop it!

[dageide]

Why not show how to install the gears! That important part is missing!

[Bricklinsv]

Do you put a spacer under the freewheel? My derailleur is rubbing the motor in the lowest cog

[luigiprovencher]

Do you have to keep the gears? I want to convert my mountain bike to a single speed before I convert it to an electric bike. I grew up on single speed bmx style bikes and never got the speed thing and I just think that it'sjust something else that can break down or needs maintenance and want to do away with it all together and it's not a brand new bike anyway so I don't know if it works properly anyway.

When I tighten my motor the wheel always pops out any idea what I should do?

Great video. I received the AW rear wheel conversion kit from Amazon.  My bike shop looked at it and there are two problems. First problem is that my Shimano crank is tapered and the PAS takes up room so that my crank will not slide back on all the way, I can tighten the bolt but the crank is not seated all the way and the bike shop said it will eventually wear out the crank arm since it is not tightly seated.  My bike mechanic said the only thing he could think of is to grind off some of the crank.  Is there a PAS system that will work in this case or do I need to buy  a grinder?  Also the derailer rubs in top gear and the bike shop said no way to fix except to adjust it and lose the top gear.

Do you have a video with stalling a ebike kit on a beach cruiser 48 volt 1500 watt

[bigcatsliontiger]

It seems your rear wheel spins alot, mine spins only for 10 seconds after i stops pedals, is this normal for ebike cos its wheel is heavy or not? (No brake problem)

[Jfitnesss]

Could a rear hub be installed on the front instead?

[roncooke]

The background crap noise got up my nose and spoilt an interesting video a distraction with the voice sound i switch off as i was pissed off
