"Anything you like".Thanks for the quick tutorial.I saw the clip with the 'external rear wheel mount/frame adapter kit'clip and need to watch it.Thank you for all your videos and hard works teaching us how to do all these things.
Thank you for your cool calm videos, very easy to follow. Grew up working on cars, built a few, since I got injured I have revisited my electric dreams. Thank you sir.
I have one of the yose kits a 350w version and it's good, I never install the throttle always use a Pas, you normally have to use the supplied rotor bolts as the ones on the existing bike are usually too long as I found out, they catch on something inside and make a noise. I have done over 500 miles so far and I am very happy with it, main reason I chose this kit was the controller was inside the battery making it a neater install.
Brake levers and shifters can be loosened (via single hex bolt on the bottom of either), and slid on the handlebars to make room for the grips to slide completely on. Also, while loosened, shifters and brake levers can be tipped up or down to whatever position is most comfortable for you.
I found ebikeschool while looking for DIY lithium battery tutorials. Next thing I know I am building my first ebike. Motors have arrived, lithium cells have arrived, found a bike to convert, bought the spot welder, and have a fun month or two ahead of me while I put it all together - which would have never happened without all of the awesome ebikeschool videos. Keep up the good work!
Congrats! Good luck building your ebike man. Don't forget to wear an nta helmet like xnito or bern hudson while riding, cpsc helmets don't really protect you
Just bought a freewheel version of this kit and installed it on my friends ancient Fuji hard tail bike. It works really well and is a far better value than my previous kits. I'm going to get the cassette version for a front wheel drive recumbent cargo bike that I'm now building.
Thanks for this great video! You sure made mounting the tires on the new rim look easy. As a first timer converting my 20in folding bike with a Swytch kit, I got stuck at the tire part. Got tire lever tools. But, damn tire just wouldn't get on the 20in wheel. After shredding up my fingers and cuticles for an hour, I finally took it to the local bike workshop. 😅 I hope you can do a comparison video between the Swytch bike kit and these conventional conversion kits. I have the new Swytch Bike kit on pre-order for my MTB. The lower price and higher power of these kits made me re-think my purchase. Plus, Swytch kit doesn't come with a throttle, only PAS.
Great video! You made it look real easy. I bought a similar kit from Yose Power though mine is only 350w because I'm in the UK and they are wimps when it comes to bike power. I used a smaller bag for the controls and cables and did the opposite to you and left out the throttle so mine is pedal assist only. I've been using it for nearly 2 years now and it is great. I can cruise at 18mph with very little effort.
@RandomShart don't be so power grabby. Lower power means less battery consumption, more efficient, depending on the power required and duty cycle. I can see how quickly one can ramp up speed with 1kw and crash, UK roads are dangerous..
Not always depending on terrain. If it's under powered it becomes more in efficient as it gets hotter. Plus most bike displays you can adjust speed which limits the power to the motor. So you can go up if you want with a more powerful motor.
I've fitted four yose power kits to various style bikes, there great. I've done just over 12000 miles commuting on mine which is fitted to a boardman roadbike👍
Will they fit on a bike with skinny tires? I have a trek multi trak with fairly narrow tires. It's a bummer because it would make the ideal electric bike since it's light and quick on the road. Do they sell these kits with different size rims?
@@paperman9708 I was actually thinking of doing the same thing; but ended up using my Moutain bike instead. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that a bike shop might be able to let you know. I'm pretty sure it would be possible tho. The bike shop would just need to change the rims and spokes out. But I would just ask a bike shop first. I'm not an exper...
Great video, I've always built my own Ebike's currently using a golden motors mp5 hub motor works ok for me, got more options with this kit than you'd get from a manufactured Ebike that'll cost you thousands to buy from a shop.
You have some very interesting looking books. The solar power especially. Here in Florida, USA we have to be ready for hurricanes 4 months out of the year
I love the "YosePower" kits i run tree of them. one on a bike, one on my vintage Dutch "Alligt" two wheel recumbent. and one on my selfmade reverse recumbent trike (looks like an ICE trike) but the made myself with donor bikeparts.
more of these videos please! But try to zoom in your shot on the technical fittings n stuff. Would love to see more mid drive builds from amazon as well. Also would like to hear more on Why you chose that bike :)
So I just found you! and I have been upgrading and repairing E bikes for 1 month now, Most bike shops do not want to fix a broken E bike (Motor/electrical) any way I'm looking to retire soon and thought this would be a great part time gig or even full time for anyone who needs help. great Vids and I will be watching looking for more info!
My wife and I have a Schwinn tandem, but because of years gone by we can't self power it like we use to. I wonder if this unit would bring back the joy we once had riding our bike together? Thanks Dale Sr
A 'Front Wheel' conversion kit will probably suit it better.I though the same,but I don't think the wires will do a 'rear wheel' kit.They both come with the same accessories.(Most I've seen don't come with a battery,but his kit at $500 covers the battery too and they're $200 and up).
I just found out my cancer is back and I was thinking of doing this to go back and forth to my appointments. The problem is I can't find anything to fit my trek multi track. It's more of a road bike and the forks are very narrow. I had an e-scooter but it was of course stolen when I let my cousin use it. He didn't lock it up. I can't drive when I'm some of those meds and this would be a safe way for me to get around. The e scooter was really nice and I sold off a collectable rifle to get it. $2700 wasted. I would do anything to be able to have a good electric scooter or bike again. Unfortunately I had to spend every dime I have on a funeral recently for a friend since no one else was willing to do it. I couldn't believe it and they were very religious. Even though I'm not I felt terrible they weren't getting their proper burial. Unfortunately that was every penny I had. I still can't believe nobody would pitch in.
i did put it on a 20bucks fleemarket bike ... works great ! hope you are doing well ! what you did is amazing ! but please look after yourself first and then other people, for you you should come first , without you there is nothing , it seams mean but its a harsh truth ! dont give your expensive stuff to other people to use , they wont look after it , it doesnt hurt them they didnt pay for it ! learn to say no ! even if they insist ! dont be afraid of losing friendships because some people cant take a no ! F*ck em if they cant respect it ! wish you the best ! i rly hope you make it ! and do as you wish !
Great video. You know what you're doing. Although I would have put the power cut off brakes on there and would have installed PAS as well. Inline brake cuts would have worked. Wouldn't put that bag on there just because I would want to be able to remove the battery with the key.
what is an ebike for exactly? i assume short distance transport for people who live in cities? usually bikes are for exercise so i find it strange; excluding the previous reason. how do the pedals work in regard to manual pedaling vs electric exactly? if im manually pedaling, if i hit the throttle/power will my feet be able to keep up? or do the pedals not move when you engage the power?
Transport or for fun. I've never heard of any bike that makes you pedal as fast as your tires are moving so no when your on the throttle its not gonna force move the pedals
the video was helpfull thankyou I had completed two ebike kits . the troble with the first one was vibrashion and still can't fix any help would be great thank you and your videos
You can upgrade the brake rotors (with adaptors) and possibly pads for not a lot of money, as I believe this comes with 160mm rotors. They're probably just barely adequate for the bike without a motor. I would probably go with 180mm rear and 203 front to be on the safe side.
Its 166mm diameter suggests its a geared hub, does it include any leaflet giving the reduction ratio?, Amazon doesn't say anything about being direct or geared.
I have a question. I have a e bike with a 48v 20ah battery and I was wondering if I can upgrade to a 48v 30ah battery safely. I’ve looked everywhere online to try to find an answer and nothing has come up. I was wondering if you could help me please?
The range depends on many factors, such as using only the assist or only using the throttle, there is a big difference. I think it can be about 60km range.
Are you in Florida? Could you provide me with your recommendation for a diy kit for HEAVY rider? I am piecing together and modifying (beefing up frame) an older NEXT brand double suspension mountain bike! It will only be used to tool around camp sites with my wife on hers! I am modifying a MARGARITAVILLE cruiser for her! Thanks in advance!
Looking forward to building my first ebike using a vruzend battery kit, and a Tongsheng TSDZ2 mid-drive kit! Haven't found the perfect hybrid 7 speed yet...
As to the brakes....mine are set up to where slight activation interrupts power, but doesn't actuate the brakes. I really like this when I'm constantly having to cross roads, sidewalks, and so on.
I have the same or similar question, with addition that the absolute mininum range should be 30km and tens of added kg for shopping purposes. Good pedal assistance is enough but has to be easy pedaling on 30 degree hills too. So is this type of kit sufficient or should it be more powerful and perhaps with an added battery for those 30-40+ km rides?
It's funny, in Canada a similar kit is almost triple the price with the battery included. Here it's almost cheaper to just buy a Rad Power bike or one off of Amazon, you are going to be in for about $1500 Canadian no matter how you slice it.
LOL the one thing I really wanted to see was the adjustment of rear brake. I've always had issues with that on my radpower bike as the adjuster is on the inside behind the motor, meaning you have to take the rear wheel off every time you adjust and if you get it wrong...you take off the rear wheel again. Makes it difficult. Thought you might show the better way.
I love the fact that your truck is still working so well that you're just using it as a truck without mentioning it in the video.

How is it holding up, 3 years later?
And is still working after that time?

How did it go?
I am currently converting my terratrikes and have been binge watching your channel. Keep it up!
Converting is the way to go with recumbents, their prices for buying the electric versions should be illegal :)

Got this kit and did the conversion, This kit is awesome.
Amazing transformation.
Man you make that look so easy, now I feel comfortable getting this bad boy and trying it out!! Love your hat btw.
I learned to build my first liion battery from your video so thanks for that. It was for a homemade electric ridable cooler
I enjoy learning from your projects. This one in particular seemed fun!!
Your videos are so great ! So inspired !

Congratulations 🤓
Great job Micah. Made that look easy.
Looks like that mini truck is actually serving you well!
I am still rocking my YOSE 250w front @ 48v 10,000 miles and counting - mine is all custom KT. I believe they ship with Lushi controllers and LCD now.
Thank you very much for your support of YOSEPOWER.
Hub kits are the best kits for first timers IMO
Nice little kit!
Micah, could you do a mid-motor conversion at some point in the future? That would be the more likely route I would take.
Thank you very much, I always enjoy, appreciate your reviews! Looks pretty easy, cool 😎
Good job. Everytime when we see these type of kit we have doubt whether they work or not as expected and Now you showed us. Thanks!

This video is what I've been looking for. Imagine, driving your own ebike you just worked on.
Great video. I think I will add this kit to my wife’s bike. Great video as always.

Thanks for the long description with links!
Now I want to see a conversion for a double suspension bike!
You can upgrade the brake rotors (with adaptors) and possibly pads for not a lot of money, as I believe this comes with 160mm rotors. They're probably just barely adequate for the bike without a motor. I would probably go with 180mm rear and 203 front to be on the safe side.
Kits are getting better with less wiring
I cant find any kits under 500 that include a battery like this anymore, does anyone have a recommendation for a suitable alternative? Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for sharing so good information about E-bikes.
I have a 36v 500w voilamart kit would a 48v 13ah battery be ok also the controller has 36v/48v on it so i asume it will be okay whats your thoughts.
Kit prices are really coming down good for everyone to start
Great video I'll be ordering this kit!
Its 166mm diameter suggests its a geared hub, does it include any leaflet giving the reduction ratio?, Amazon doesn't say anything about being direct or geared.
Hello. The reduction ratio is 8.15
Great work with plenty of information.8-)
Range & top speed would be helpful.
Good video! That was a good idea and investment to get a second ebike that I don’t have to retrofit security and gives my himiway a break.

Nice video. Much appreciated. You made it seem easier for me. I might get one.
That was very informative and would love to have one of your books! Thanks great video: )
What range does this kit give you? Does the display have a setting to change to mph?
The range depends on many factors, such as using only the assist or only using the throttle, there is a big difference. I think it can be about 60km range.

As to the brakes....mine are set up to where slight activation interrupts power, but doesn't actuate the brakes.
I really like this when I'm constantly having to cross roads, sidewalks, and so on.

Good pedal assistance is enough but has to be easy pedaling on 30 degree hills too.

Holy cow that’s is so awesome!!!

Nice job mate
That truck is a bang for buck. The battery would last upto 10-15years if you only run that for only 10km daily
