April 21, 20188 yr Does anyone have recommendations on a rear wheel conversion kit that would suit a folding bike.. ideally for the dehon vybe d7. My use base is for 10min journey mixed with a hill, so idealy lightweight with some torque. Is it possible to have a set up to allow throttle only or is this too much expectations with folding and lightweight. Thanks
April 21, 20188 yr The Xiongda YTW-06 would be perfect. you have to build it into a wheel yourself (bonnie@xiongdamotor.com.cn). Get a rear wheel motor rather than a front one. Check with them that they have a high-speed one for a 20" wheel. I guess they do because I've seen one in the Swytch kit. Alternatively, you can sign up for a Swytch kit and wait for deliveries to commence. You can run with only a throttle, but you'll like it a lot more with a pedal sensor.
April 22, 20188 yr Author Where is the best place to get 20" rims. Ive been reading and watching the process for lacing wheels, but unsure of suppliers.
April 22, 20188 yr I used chain reaction cycle: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/spank-spoon-28-20-mtb-rim/rp-prod154290 They were quite good. But these are BMX rim, you may want lighter ones

April 23, 20188 yr I've put Q100's in our 20" folders. I can handle a variety of batteries, but I prefer small 36V4AH (20 cells) and 36V8AH packs (30 cells)t hat fit in bags off the rear seat. If I had to do another one, I would also try the Xiongda motor. The website says they have one with the proper rpm for the smaller 20" wheel.
April 25, 20188 yr Author With the recommended motor above YTW-06. This requires rear OLD 135mm. Does anyone know if dahon.. vybe d7 will accept this hub or is the frame not wide enough. Thanks
