AW Electric Bike Conversion Kit 48V 1000W 26" Front/Rear Wheel Powerful

EDIT: 9/8/24 I had to come back here to update, cuz I was contacted by Hana from Customer Service (CSR), and she handled my concerns like a boss, totally professional, and in the end, I was sent a total replacement kit due to the unavailability of a replacement controller that apparently was faulty and that caused the wheel to lock up... Thank you Hana for going the extra mile for me to resolve this, and I appreciate your help in this matter... I am looking forward to getting back on the road again... Anthony I really liked this unit when I first got it, and installed it... I managed to get about 120 miles of use with it before it suddenly stopped working and left me stranded a few miles from home cuz it felt as tho' something internally gave out and was dragging and causing the wheel to no longer roll freely, somewhat like a bearing going bad on you... The throttle indicator lights remained on (red, yellow, green), but when the throttle was engaged, there was no response... After managing to walk home with it, I flipped the bike over, and tried to turn the front hub by hand, and it was hard to spin, as tho' it was dragging on something... So I started to disconnect the wiring harness, and when I disconnected the 3-wires to the block (blue, green, yellow) the wheel spins freely... My guess is that the controller is bad, or the wheel motor, or both... I'm going to have to replace the unit, and this time I will try someone else...

Very easy install! It's perfect in its simplicity. Works every time you need it to! No software! No apps! No screens! Just a throttle and the open road baby! I will say, Be sure to get your drop outsize correct. I wouldn't recommend this size motor on potmetal or carbon fiber forks or unreinforced dropouts in frames. It has an intense amount of torque! Which is amazing! And loved the ease of use and plug and play install. There's no extra screens or sensors to install. If you've changed your bike tire or put a chain on a bike. You probably have enough working knowledge to install this kit yourself without a problem. Definitely invest in a large battery. In urban bike friendly areas like in Portland,Denver ect. It's a must-have commuter dream! I'll report back next year and give you an update on the durability. So far though, I'm impressed!

I don't understand how people are getting the front wheel version to work without torque arms. The motor immediately spread my dropouts and the front wheel popped out. Your forks just aren't designed for the 1000 lbs or so this motor puts on the axle. Buy torque arms so you don't mess up your bike and lose your front wheel. (Definitely get 2 torque arms. The pins come out of that 5-pin plug with a little tab on the inside) 4 stars for being loud and crappy battery monitor. But oh is it fast!

Very very good

I purchased this kit in August 2021, and I must say it was so easy to install I felt like I missed something, I even installed two torque levers just to make sure I wouldn’t have any problems with rounding out the forks and I gotta say it has been great ! Although not totally quiet, it’s whine isn’t too bad ( unless you have a rickety bike that loves to rattle). I just passed 1500 miles and the biggest issue I have, is No cruise control, my thumb cramps up. It’s fun to put it together and be able to get some good exercise It’s Feb2023 and I just passed 3500 miles with no problems until now. It started to act up a couple of months ago with power issues. With a full charge, no problem, but after a few miles the throttle cuts out when you try to accelerate. It’s making a growling noise, it would be nice if it can be rebuilt. If there is a parts breakdown and replacement parts are available it would make this kit a bargain.

Bought this in November of '20 and installed it just as a first foray into electric biking. Big mistake. My analysis: This controller and kit was wired and built for a motor a quarter of this wattage and with half the voltage. It's a massive fire hazard, and a liability to not only yourself but your surroundings. The kit is not waterproof, but heats up to more than the melting point of any known plastic under even the lightest of loads and shortest of distances. This kit literally melted the power terminals on my battery to the point where I can no longer remove it from the bike. I was also forced to lengthen the controller lines and the little worthless plastic bag it came with? it was melted through less than a month in. I've had to rewire the rest of the bike under the assumption that it would catastrophically fail one day and it has. I write this sitting on the side of the road with my controller literally smoking and melting before my very eyes, stranded miles from home without transportation. Whoever thought 20AWG copper was OK for this needs to consider a career change because this almost caught on fire as I was riding it. If you buy this and any of the other identical reseller kits of this motor, you better skip the wait and refund it now. Apparently the organization who had it before me (a bike shop in California) sent it back to them without even using it! I will update this review when I replace the controller and (again) the wiring to more closely focus on the motor itself.

Its hard to assemble, some features require soldering of wires and its doesn't fit on most bikes, you are likely going to have to jerry rig some things on the frame with zipties, very cool though.

4 year update. Controller actually failed. I ordered a generic sine wave controller and rewired. Back in business ! Keep in mind I ride this at least three times a week at 4 miles per day. Update coming up on 4 years. Still going strong. Has been swapped to a new bicycle. I am on third battery. Bike stolen and recovered, thanks to Apple AirTag. Fifth set of tires. No complaints. Update 3 years and 3 months in and still going strong. I’m at about 500 miles. Second battery. 4 sets of tires. Lots of brake pads. No complaints. ***Important, purchase and install a torque arm or two.***. Great kit. I’m 15 months into this. Hauls me 1.9 miles to work and back about three days a week. About to replace tires for the second time. So have quite a few miles on it. Zero issues. Has been very fun to work with.

This product worked as advertised. Flawless and very easy to setup and install. I bought 2 units and they work awesome. I bought 2 48 volt, 10 amp hour lithium bottle batteries for the bike and its fast. 43 km is my max speed. I would however advise anyone buying the battery cell for this unit to buy a minimum 17 amp hour battery. I have a batch of 21700 batteries coming soon and I will make a few battery cells with 52 volt and 20 amp hours to try them. It is an exciting time isn;t it? Thanks all Derek

Assembly of the kit was easier than I expected. One thing that I did not expect was that the disk brake in anterior wheel was not compatible with this. I will buy a rim brake instead.

Working for me

Too many electrical adjustments had to be made
