Review on 🚲 Enhance Your Cycling Experience with the EBIKELING Waterproof Ebike Conversion Kit by Chad Chavez

Now that it's installed it's a well built e-bike conversion kit. I installed it on a REI Buzz Novara cross bike. Be sure to check the Ebikeling website for installation instructions as they are not included. I specifically bought the tail/display/thumb kit as I don't intend to use the throttle much. In general, the quality of the materials is high. The gas regulator is made of plastic, be careful with it. Almost everything else is aluminum. The motor weighs about 15 pounds. Installation took about 9 hours with multiple trips to shops to get tools, disassemble old bike components, attach the battery and tidy up the electrical wiring. The only questionable part is installing a cadence sensor for pedal assist. My bike didn't have a washer to attach it to the bike's handlebars (your front gear is set to where you pedal). I had to cut out the metal ring for the sensor and attach it to the frame with a hose clamp. There is a video on their website that explains how to do it. You will also need a crank puller to install the pedal sensor. I got mine from REI, but you can also find them here. You cannot install the pedal assistant without this. Performance at the highest level. In the basic settings, the intensity of the pedal assistance is set to 3 out of 5. This differs from the 5 levels of pedal assistance that you select while riding. You have to go to settings to change it. It was so powerful that I hit nearly 16 mph in level 1 pedal assist. That's great, but I could hardly pedal that fast in the top gear of my crank. I reduced the pedal assist intensity to 1 to 5. With this setting, my pedal assist limited speed where it was much more manageable: level 1 - 11 mph, level 2 - 18 mph, level 3 - 24 mph, level 4 is 29/30 mph and level 5 is probably around about 30 seconds. Throttling is also limited by your current pedal assist level. To reach higher speeds you just have to step up with the gas pedal (this is a great safety mechanism). In pedal assist mode, the motor only assists as long as you are pedalling. It releases smoothly as you roll through inertia. Really strong conversion. Interestingly, the motor is absolutely silent under load. Not even the typical whine of an electric motor. Every other e-bike or scooter I've ridden has a humming motor, so that's really, really good! I connected this kit to a 20Ah 48V battery from UPP Ebike Batteries: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081PPC91W /ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I've ridden 25 miles with this kit/battery so far. My battery level is still at 100 percent and I've been using pedal assist levels 1-3 without using the throttle. I'm reckoning on a range of 80-120 miles depending on the conditions. It's pretty crazy. Really expands the types of trips you can take.
