As luck would have it, whilst riding this afternoon the throttle on my Yosepower kit developed a fault. It would not fully return to the off position without giving it a flick with a finger. I think it is the internal spring. Fortunately I had fitted a cut-off switch to the rear brake, so it was...

The hub motors in my Yose kits are both Aikema. The 250w. is a 95RX. RC 250 Cassette (freehub). aikema HUB MOTOR The 350W. is a 95RS (R1) Freewheel aikema HUB MOTOR The above is only listed as a 250w on Aikema's website, but mine is clearly marked as "AK95RS. 350w." (and certainly performs...

I've looked at the ebay listing and it is hard to tell if the wheel rim has any braking surface for rim brakes or not. It might have but it's all one colour. I can't see any details of what the contoller is - brand or amp rating. I'm not familiar with Bafang hubs, but "suitable for 135-142mm...

Both of my bikes have are 135mm between dropouts and both hubs fitted without any problems. If your Raleigh Pioneer is a 6 speed then it is likely to be a freewheel. My hybrid is cassette (8 speed) and the old Giant MTB is a 7 speed freewheel. Hope this helps. That Pioneer is just the sort of...

Just to let you know, as a follow up to Post #4, I managed the long test ride with my hybrid that has the 350w Yose rear hub kit fitted (700c wheels) on Saturday. Plenty of undulating country lanes mostly using PAS 2. Covered 35.6 miles and had about a quarter of the charge left on the 13Ah...

I used to think 7-speed was the limit, but was aware of a few 8-speeds. A stronger hub motor axle allowing a 9-speed screw-on freewheel does make sense. This has opened up a few interesting options for my next DIY pedelec project!

I can't speak for others, but my advice was given purely on experience with the items I've purchased. I've no experience of other products and don't get any reward for mentioning the items I have. You can be assured that if I come across any problems they will be reported here. Nobody should...

I didn't know that 9-speed freewheels were available - every day's a school day here! Just a thought - 9 speed chains are narrower than 5-8 speed. Have you fitted a 9-speed specific chain? If not, a wider chain might be binding between sprockets and locking up the freewheel. Seems unlikely...

You'd need to carefully check the dimensions to make sure it fits and you'd need somewhere to put the controller. I managed to fit mine on the forward supports of the rack with a small plastic box. The 13Ah downtube battery seems to have plenty of range but I've not given it a good long run...

How about this rack and battery:- 36V13Ah E-Bike Lithium-ion Rear Battery fit for 26"-28" Bike – YOSE POWER UK I already had a pannier rack, so I got the downtube battery and screwed it to a piece of 9mm marine plywood fixed to the top. You don't say what the wheel size is or whether the Pioneer...

Oops! Quite right. If the OP follows up on this, and is tempted by the 250w. cassette kit (which is in stock) unlike the 350w. version it is restricted to 15.5mph and the throttle is limited as a "walk assist" - so not such a good buy as the 350w. It is a good hill climber though (and street legal!)

£352.00 on Yose UK website:- 36V350W 26"/28" Rear E-Bike Conversion Kit for Cassette with 36V13Ah H – YOSE POWER UK Unfortunately the 28" wheel version showing as out of stock in UK. I've bought two kits from them and have been very pleased with them. Good value for money.

So, you either buy another controller or fight it out with your wife over who gets the 350w. kit!:D

You probably have a 250w. kit? It will only have a "walk assist" throttle function as Yose sell these as UK and EU "legal". It probably doesn't allow you to increase the top speed either? I have a rear hub kit and found the same as you. I bought an 18 amp controller that Yose sell as a "350w...

Indeed, you are quite right. I bought my Yose 250w. kit complete with a 36v/13ah battery (max continuous current 20amps). They supply the same battery with their 350w. kits, so i didn't forsee any problems with using their 18 amp controller that they supply with the 350w. kits for the 250w...

I've ordered all my Yose stuff from Yosepower UK. Both of my kits arrived within 3 days. The controller took 3 weeks to come from China. They seem to be cheaper than ebay or Amazon, but the prices do fluctuate. If you are going to order a C500 display I would suggest you use the "from China"...

I recently bought a Yose 250w. rear wheel kit. It came with a 15 amp max current controller. I have substituted this with an 18 amp controller that Yose sell as a "350w. rear controller". This has improved the hill climbing ability quite significantly. It has also "unlocked" the throttle, which...

Fully agree with the above post. I have recently converted two bikes using Yosepower kits (they share a battery). First bike is a Forme hybrid - 700c wheels, 24 gears, aluminium frame. Second is a 1992 Giant steel framed GSR400 MTB - no suspension, 26" wheels, 21 gears. They were both cheap to...

I have a Moon Arcturus Pro which I mainly use in "daytime flash" mode. It is very bright and lasts me for days between charging. It came with three mounts (seatpost, saddle and a clothing clip), but a rear rack mount is available separately. It's been discontinued now in favour of better (and...

My cheap and cheerful mudflap is cut from an empty 2 litre plastic bleach bottle It attaches to the existing stay fittings and is flexible enough to bend and spring back if hitting obstacles. It may not be "cool" but it keeps the BB clean. I searched for a black 2 litre bottle of "something"...
