    I put a front wheel drive same as your set up . I'm well pleased with mine . Front wheel drive is more stable no wobble at 22mph because its pulling and No poping wheeleys . Great for the wife to . And front is easier installation

    I did it I finished my 1200 watt rear hub bike and used the same idea you used . I'm using two 58 volt batteries in parallel instead of one. Saved hundreds of dollars just doing that alone. Mine is not waterproof and wasnt plug and play wiring either. I'm using the SW900 display and I dont see settings to do anything other than pas 1-5. It goes 28.0 mph tops. Don't know how to change it to mph instead of kph. Or change to rim size as I have read. Guess my display can't do that stuff. But that's okay the bike runs very well. I've got no complaints. Thanks to you for the wonderful idea of the battery choice. Works like a charm.

      @@diyrenewableenergyelectron4996 The batteries are 5.2 amps each for a total of 10.4. They are 58 volt max. I went 8.9 miles yesterday [first ride ] and still had three bars out of four. But I had them charged to 54 volts. I have now charged them to 58.8 volts and its ready for another ride but that wont be till tonight due to work. I don't think I ever saw the display say I was using more that 10 amps, maybe something is limiting me, perhaps the bms in the battery back ?

      Well, if you arent hammering the throttle, it usually doesn't go much beyond 10-15 amps. If you go full throttle on a high power level it will go higher but for a cruise I'm not surprised to see it hanging out in the 10 amp area. Thats a decent sized battery! I think you will be very happy with the range. I get 6 miles out of my 4 amp-hour pack while full throttle basically the entire time. I bought some 21700 cells from battery hookup and will be building a larger battery soon. 20 amp-hours or so.

    Mine is 1200 watt front, I haven't hooked it up yet, waiting for batteries but yes, from most videos I've seen, they top around 30mph. 30mph isn't too fast, I sprint up to 27mph, and can sustain 20mph on flat ground. I too live 4 miles away from work, I get there in about 15 or 16 minutes averaging 15 mph, planing to cut that in half with this. I may do a video response linking your video but great job.

    • @diyrenewableenergyelectron4996
      @diyrenewableenergyelectron4996  3 года назад

      Best is a subjective term. You have to balance quite a few crucial characteristics about the battery. For most people the biggest factor is cost. Second is capacity (Ah) and third is weight.
      If you dont mind spending the money, bigger is always better if you plan to use all of that extra range. If you have a 5 or 6 mile commute for work and thats your primary use, you may not need to spend extra money to purchase range you dont need.
      Weight is not that much of an issue but my 25Ah batter definitely throws the balance of my bike to the rear.
      A 20ah 48v battery like you mentioned should be a great all around battery that will give you a very good range.

    Hi, thanks for posting this video, i just received my 48v 1500w kit. Excited since it seems like a decent kit/value for the price point. If I connect the PAS does that change the functionality of the selector limiting the throttle the way it does with yours? Or will the selector just govern both according to the five levels? Thanks

    I have a 500watt rear hub recently the motor blew and looking for front hub for many reason. I Ride with 2 batteries, 23ah and 11ah heavy. The 23ah is hook to the rear wheel cage. 11ah is on the frame in the middle. I almost killed myself yesterday in the rain. my front wheel at 15mph maybe less not sure, tire slide causing the bike to lose control. i was braking with the front brake lightly and turning it just locked up. The fall was painful and thanks to bystanders I managed. Now because of my setup and the weight my best bet is adding weight in the front. Would you recommend front hub help with balancing thanks?

    • @diyrenewableenergyelectron4996
      @diyrenewableenergyelectron4996  4 года назад +1

      Front hub motors are very hard on the forks (torque). I would only use one(if I had to) on a solid fork bike. I would try to move some of the weight forward or try changing your riding style to favor the rear brake first so that your front wheel won't want to lock up. If you could get the batteries more toward the front that would help a lot.

Normally the little control panel has settings that allow the wheel to read the speed. Don't remember the specifics, but I had to turn an option to 86 to get the console to read the hub speed.... however it only reads so long as the throttle is engaged. Disengage, and it stops reading speed.
      The other problem is the hub makes a horrible coil whine after awhile and the only way to solve that is to turn the bike off and let it coast a bit, before turning it back on.

      I'm a newbie too! Always learning new things. The current gives me a roundabout idea of the torque I'm placing on the dropouts of the bike. The more you twist the throttle, the more current the motor draws and the more torque it produces. So I use 10 amps as a good limit to reduce the wear and tear on the bike. Sometimes I go over that, it's fine but I just try not to make a habit out of it.
