3000W alibaba hub motor good?

So shipping doubles the cost?

This $480 kit will be $960 delivered?

I'm wanting to get one just to run it at 96v and see how fast it really goes. Except I don't think I want to be going 60mph on a flimsy bike wheel, as in another thread right now.
 
no shipping doesn't double.. It just so happened that way given the size of the box required to ship two complete wheels. I'd say if you got a few motors not laced it wouldn't be so much. Perhaps it costs a lot to send to Aus.. who knows.

Motor is for 135mm dropouts?
Also what is max freewheel to install?

You will need 150mm drop outs and it only works with a single speed so 16T, probably the same rules as mounting a Cromotor, just not as powerful, but we think it might have higher KV. No one knows until we get one and actually test it.
 
I was lurking on this thread and i like the idea that they have matching front wheel as well. Did anyone asked about theyr 3kW controller? I wander if it's programmable or not and if they have those wheels in red :D?
So whats the actual kV they say? Just wandering what i can get from 61V HOC in 18" rim?
 
as posted earlier, they don't provide a KV spec? However i did as at 72V what the motor rpm is and the answer was 1000rpm @ 72V so KV of 13.88.

However as ZombieSS has mentioned already, I think we won't know for sure until we get it, plug it in and test it.

They are on their way, I don't have a battery yet, so that will be an interesting test,

0V * 13.88 rpm / V = 0 rpm :twisted:

I asked about the 5kw version when I was ordering apparently it was "not yet ready still in development"

So there you go..

I think the 3kw will be a good start. it will be good for "peaks" higher than 3kw. so it'll be fine. I've got the CAV3 so I will try to get a thermistor in there and push it's limits.

I received my motor today. Looks like I can make it work, they installed some jenky freewheel that I have to figure out to remove. Freewheel is a total pos and has lots of slop and what feels like maybe 10 pawls. They also included a 160mm disc brake and a mechanical caliper. Frot hub included as well, but it's not quick release. Caliper and hub will probably go in the bin.

The motor appears usable but the wiring is exiting on the axle flat which is going to make it interesting to Mount without destroying it. I have some pictures which I will post tomorrow. Phase wiring is thin, much smaller than the Cromotor. I have a comparison picture.

Lacing is radial, bit of a disappointment there. It does have dual Hall sensors which is a nice extra.

Motor flange is 50mm wide. Cover to cover is 86mm. For comparison the Cromotor is 100mm cover to cover.

I will try to open up the motor and get some measurements this weekend. This is not even close to the level of a Cromotor. If it is a high speed wind I will probably have to upgrade the phase wires to handle the current.
 
oh man.... I am sure Australia is closer to China than USA.. Well at least I can expect it soon, maybe tomorrow / probably Monday.. or Tuesday.. or maybe next Friday

*edit* I see they sent mine by EMS.. must wait patiently.... :pancake:

lol just kidding.. need to get with the fbi see if they can get them for us ;0)

yea was hoping this would be good , but not surprised by the early report.
 
Here are the pics

Thick phase wires are the Cromotor which are around 11 AWG, CNE version is more Asian size... not so thick, not capable of high current.

Super sweet wire placement. Going to have to get creative to keep from crushing the wires in the drop out. I will probably have to have some custom washers cut on a water jet to make it work.

A-one and a-four and a ching chong potato. Super awesome sketchy freewheel that has axial play.

Radial lacing, but with some thick chrome plated steel spokes. Wish they would have done single cross instead. I need to verify the rim is actually 17" and not 16, hard to tell. Those "torque arms" or what ever they are are useless junk. They are setup for a 16mm axle with 12 mm flats. I ordered this with a 16mm axle and 10mm flats.

Compared to a Cromotor

I might just sell this off because I'm not really felling like building anything for a while since I'm trying to sort out this giant mess Hygia has caused me.
 
jam nut on inside of dropout would leave plenty room for wire bundle clearance.
 
Faulty manufacturing issues with a bunch of hydraulic brakes he sold. There's a post about it somewhere.. but cbf finding it for you...

Good call on the jam but. I have one and will try it out. Should work as long as the drop outs are wide enough. Still waiting on a swing arm from Farfle for a Genesis build which is what this setup was supposed to be for.
 
yes please open it and make some pics
