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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 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.
@@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.
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 🙏
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
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.
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
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
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 😡
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.
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
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.
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.

Great to hear that your experience is positive.
Hello dear wonderful go cart race 😊😅
I used a anti heat wrap on my battery to reflect light away. Keeps stuff cool.
Sounds like a great idea!
I leave the throttle connectors Off before connecting battery terminals. If the terminals last connection, it will discharge a bit.
Ok will do next time

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

@@kjohns1413 Ahh Gotcha, Thanks!
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.
Why is it at the front?
@@expedition-electric3549 I have mine just like yours, I followed the many pictures (official and customer) to guide me.
clear as a dark night
Music volume was too loud. Just a observation
Gotcha, got a better mic and will turn down music.
What’s the name of the kickstand you used? I don’t see it in the description at all…

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.
Jus noticed the frame is pre hardtail model so that rack will work.
Yeah was ok bike.
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.
But the weight helps gain traction in the wet.
I see

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.
How did u connect the green bullet plugs to the battery? Because isn't the battery a xt60?
Hey, my friend! You can either learn to solder the connections, or you can just buy a separate battery cable. It's pretty cheap.
There are no need to install torque arms, providing you Dremel/drill out a cavity for the hook washers to bed into.
Didn't even think of that.
Where do I get a replacement tire only for that hub wheel?
You would look at the black numbers on the tire and then order that size on amazon.
What if you have disc brakes? Can you put a disc on the front hub kit?
Might be challenging. I've done mid drive motors with disc brakes.
Do you put the torque arm on the front or behind the fork
Maybe both?!
Can you install this on an ebike with an motor already installed
Hmmm not sure, probably not.
Do they sell these at Walmart?
I need the battery pack didn't come with the ebike tire convertion can u find me the right battery?
I use a 36 volt battery. I made a battery pack myself.
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???
We're you able to find a solution to your question.?

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.
You may want to install as a safety feature
Hello dear sir enjoy fixing your ebike rear drive hub 😊😅
Can you add a disk break to this?
Not really when the bike has the other type of brakes.
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 🙏
Yes you need a battery to power the motor. 48v 13ah
Is this ebike conversion kit similar to the AW kit?
Yes, I believe it's quite similar. It may have a slightly different controller set up, but similar in performance.
has it been worth it?
Yeah I like the mid drive bike the best .
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

my wife got me this kit for my birthday, the amazon link says on road only. why?
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.
Not a great ride for off road

Oh I see. were you able to find a solution?
The arm should be at the front of forks
Gotcha
um... why would you use twist shift for that setup?? look butinine and awkward! too dang busy!
It worked
Do you need to paddle to make it start
No you do not unless if you set up peddle assist
WHY DON'T E-BIKE DEALERS TELL THERE CUSTOMS ABOUT eBike torque arm AND THAT THEY NEED TO INSTALL THEM?
Not sure!
I think you put the torque arm in the wrong direction.
You mean flip the steel arm part facing the other direction?
Wouldn't bother with those brake cut outs they really are a ball buster those things.
haha I hear you
The pedal assistant doesn't work
the magnetic ring and the sensor need to be pretty close together.
Were you able to figure it out?
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.
