Review on 26" Electric Bicycle Conversion Kit With 48V 1000W Hub Motor And Intelligent Controller, PAS System For Road Bike By Voilamart by Casey Oliver

I installed this on my wife's bike since she had trouble keeping up with me, and riding hills to her meant walking her bike up them. After installing this she said she really enjoys going for rides and still gets plenty of exercise, just only when she wants. I didn't install the petal sensor or connect the speed limiter jumper -- she just uses the twist throttle and that seems to be fine. Don't know the range (everyone asks) but I'd guess 25+ miles with occasional use. Note that the hub motor and the battery are heavy, so this adds a lot of weight to the bike. I'm also a little concerned about it being weather-proof but it has been in the rain a few times without any issue.Installation notes:Install was a bit of a project due to the drop-frame, and you can see I put the controller on the neck-tube. That wasn't my ideal but it kept the wires short (they are all crammed into that little bag). I used a "Unit Pack Power 48V ebike Battery, 14AH" with the 3 clips since you can see the straight-portion of the tube is barely long enough. I has an imperceptible bow to it which makes clipping/unclipping the batter a pita, but this is not a review for that. I bought a "LIXINTIAN 10AWG 45A Connector to SAE Connector Cable ,for Pre-Wired RV Boat Charge Battery Solar Panel, with 1 SAE Polarity Reverse Connector-1.6ft/0.5m" to connect between the controller and the battery so that I didn't need to hack any connectors -- only difference is the cable has a larger SAE connector so I expanded/crimped to make it work. The bike (Diamondback Serene) came with twist shifters, and the right side interfered with the throttle so I replaced both shifters with "1Pair Bike Shifters, Bike Thumb Gear Shifter with Inner Cables(3x7Speed) Brand: VGEBY" which seem to work fine, although it took some getting used to. I added "Torque arm-Universal for E-Bike Electric Bicycle -Front or Rear,M14 for E-Bike Conversion Kit,Electric Bike kit Torque arm for BLDC hub Motor Brand: NBpower" since the motor is very high-torque and I started to worry about it breaking free. That should be it. The manuals are not very helpful so be prepared to experiment/adapt along the way.
