I've now converted three bikes using Yosepower rear hub motors and been able to make some comparisons. They are:- AKM95RX RC 250w. cassette 700c. wheel. Yosepower claim 25Km/h top speed (with a speed-limited 15A controller) and 58Nm torque. AKM95RX RC 350w. cassette 26" wheel. Yosepower claim...

The controller appears to be integrated into the Geeko bottle battery mount, so you will need to remove it and rewire the connector (two wires). That's assuming that if you order a single battery it comes with a mounting bracket. The 100g website isn't clear on the subject, but as the controller...

Shared cycle routes are just that - the clue is in the title. No amount of lights or audable warning devices will get around the fact that pedestrians have priority. Just read the Highway Code. My own personal gripe is with dog owners who frequent what is known locally as "Dog ** Alley", an...

For the yellow male brake connectors I've used Schrader valve caps. Open up the inside slightly with a suitable drill bit turned by hand, then fix in place with a thin strip of insulation tape. Not ideal, but better than nothing. For fitting the battery slider to downtubes I've found this to be...

Having bought a cheap Pendleton Brooke to convert for my wife, I discovered that the rear aluminium dropouts looked a bit shallow to fit a rear hub motor - particularly on the forward edge. I had resigned myself to fitting a front motor until I discovered these on ebay:- Carrera Ebike Torque...

I researched the Somerby with a view to buying one and converting it for my wife to use. It seems that the gearing on the Somerby is different to the eSommerby. The current Somerby has a 7 speed 14-28T freewheel with a 36T chainset. The eSomerby has 8 speed 13-32T and 38T chainset. I think older...

It depends on whether you want to see where you are going or just want to be seen by others. I just wanted a "daytime flash" light and have one of these:- Moon Mizar Front LED Cycle Light | eBay It lasts for many hours without recharging and is also useful in "steady" mode as a small pocket...

If you look at AntonyC's calculation he has left side spoke elbows in and right side out, giving a much better ratio of 35:65. I've been trying to see if I could get it any better, but I can't. Incidentally, the drawing for the AKM-128CST has the flange spoke hole diameter at 129mm - not that...

My experience since getting into this e-bikery is that saneagle is absolutely right. Quite apart from the fact that I inevitably ride faster than I did before, the added mass and momentum of motor and battery means that slowing and stopping downhill requres a lot more braking force. If I was...

700c x 38 - 50psi front. 60 rear. Rear motor and battery on rack. 26" X 1.95" - 40 front. 45 rear. Rear motor and downtube battery. The wider 26" tyres are much more comfortable than the 700c. I keep clear of potholes and ruts wherever possible, but when unavoidable (and over speed bumps) I put...

That is just the user instructions for the 260W EU and UK "legal speed" limited kit. The instructions for their other kits include max. speed adjustment (3.5):- 仪表说明书1.0 (shopify.com) Both sets of instructions are listed on Yosepower's UK website under the "Instructions" tab:- Instructions –...

Thanks again for your observations. I'm finding all this fascinating. I notice that Woosh supply their XF07 kits with a Lishui 18A 9 mosfet controller, which is the same as I've got on my Yose 350W and 250W rear motors. Neither of them get more than slightly luke warm even up some quite steep...

I have emailed Yosepower and asked them what the max. rpm of the currently- listed 26" front kit is. It will be interesting to hear what they come back with. I take your point about the long motor cable, although just to make it a bit more awkward I have full mudguards. Don't want the light and...

That's interesting - thanks for the input. I didn't know that the Yose front was only 210rpm. Is it a recent one? I suspect it would be slower on 26". I have to pair it with a Yose 15A integrated controller, so it would be even slower for me. The other thing that puts me off is the stupidly long...

Back again! Anyone following my posts on various threads will know that I still can't make my mind up on which front hub motor to go for. Anyone have any comments or experience of this? High quality 250w 36v Front E Bike Motor Hub, 9 pin waterproof connector Black | eBay Made by Neways...

There's a range here:- Rims - 26' - 559 | Rims & Tape | Wheels | SJS Cycles If it helps, Cytronex fit Ryde Andra 30 (black) or Halo White Line Classic (silver) to their front hub kits. Just make sure you get a 36 hole one! For wheelbuilding and spoke calculations, have a look at the videos at:-...

Many thanks, you are very kind to give up your time to help people. Costwise, it makes sense to go for the XF07. Tony at Woosh won't be best pleased that it is PSW Power, but as it's on ebay and shipping from Germany via Elifebike, at least the VAT should be included in the price. I will give...

Problem is, with two other bikes, I want to keep a standard battery between all of them ( 36v 13Ah Hailong H1). Shame about the XF07, although I notice Woosh use it in their kits. I had read somewhere else that the XF07 was a bit weak (it may have been you! :D). Other than taking a punt on...

Thanks for the response. I am grateful for your time and knowledge. This is relevant to me now because I'm swinging backwards and forwards over what front hub motor to get for my wife's 26" wheeler (in a separate thread). I was sold on a 36V 350W AKM100H at 201rpm (12:1 gears), but based on...

A bit late getting back with this, but I've not had chance to test both motors earlier. So, using the same battery at 39.8V level, the Yosepower AKM95RS 350w rear freewheel in a 28" wheel reaches a no-load top speed of 23.8mph. The Yosepower AKM95RX 250w rear cassette in a 26" wheel reaches...
