Nexus 3 speed

Featured Replies

Hi all, been lurking on this forum a while as I am thinking of converting my VITUS MACH 1 THREE CITY BIKE NEXUS (2022). As the name suggests it has a 3 speed nexus hub, so from reading some of the previous advice on here, a front hub seems appropriate.

I am looking at the Yose kits and there is a front hub kit they do with a 27.5 inch wheel but you have to buy the battery separately.

In my basket I have

36V250W 24"/26"/27.5"/28" Front E-Bike Conversion Kit

36V13Ah HL-I Down Tube Lithium-ion E-bike Battery

Hydraulic Brake Sensor fit for All Kinds of Bikes

Do I have everything covered for the conversion? I have found it a bit confusing when you come across different pins on the batteries (this one says 5 pin gold plated round) and warnings around choosing a battery with a compatible discharge socket.

I did also consider a Swytch kit but the negative comments on here put me off and the Yose kits seem generally well received.

Hopefully someone can confirm I am on the right track as I don’t want to spend 350 quid and realise I have ordered parts that are not compatible with my bike or each other!

I will say that any front hub drive should use current control rather then speed control. Current control gives one better traction and far better control of power applied.

Yose are lishui speed control, one is better off with a KT current control system.
