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

1. Safety - LOOK OUT! By chance I looked at the wiring recently to find that the wire insulation had melted, and insulation from adjacent wires had fused together. Luckily nothing shorted, but this could have been an absolute disaster (short circuiting a lithium ion battery can be catastrophic - imagine riding 20 miles per hour when an explosion and 2,000 degree Fahrenheit fire starts a foot behind you). Keep a VERY close eye on the wiring. Check it regularly. Don't trust it.2. Installation - installation is challenging. I'm familiar with bikes, but still struggled a bit. It took 10-15 hours to get the rear wheel installed; it may have been more to do with my bike than with the kit, but the point is that it's not guaranteed to be universal. Instructions are OK. the pictures help some, but the language is not clear.3. Performance - it does perform well. Plenty of power, runs long enough to make a commuter bike out of it. I was happy with the performance.
