Thanks, I bought it in 2013, my first eBike. Stealth just called it a Bomber back then, and it was set for 4500w. The B52s came out the next year in 2014 when my son bought one. I think the only difference was my ca was set for 60 amps. I reset it to 65 amp my bike ran just the same as his bike. Now it destroys his LOL. Back in July when my motor gave up the ghost, we were rat racing home from a local brewery. I should have known better, it was probably 100 degrees that night.Oh nice, Looking good my friend! I like the red
So that’s an actual B-52 right?
It looks like you have the same rear shock as my clone without the piggy back reservoir. Definitely better than the DNM
Yeah, and to your point who cares who made the motor as long as it works. It’s not like there’s something extra special with QS.
I wish there was a way to make the QS205 about 10 pounds lighter maybe more aluminum parts but they certainly perform well. They’re just heavy is a bag of bricks lolView attachment 332167

What’s the weight of the 2,000 45mm?
On AliExpress they do this with pricing as well with their two different stores.
Example: on one store the motor is cheaper then the shipping is way more.
Then on there other store the motor is more money but then free shipping
A lot Chinese company’s do this, a guess for marketing purposes.
I see that with numerous sales sites, where a particular company has the exact same item listed several times in their products, each one with a different price...and the shipping for each one is different...but the total for each one doesn't add up to the same as the others--they're often close, but almost never all the same.

It weighs 1 lb less than the 3000, that's all I can get out of them.

I say it’s too heavy for a MTB frame my friend. Especially if it’s just 1 pound lighter I can see your point with just getting the actual 205 50H. It’s up to you at the end of the day.
What frame will this motor be going on?

It's a giant upland size 21.5 as I'm 6'3" and need the size colmoly frame. As I have one already with 40,000 miles. The slots on the rear axle are enlarged and needs to go.yes 80usd bikes to start. And the homeless look. As they steal bikes at the beach.
I don't have it for the new one. But I can try to measure it on my older QS205 stators with the DE-5000 LCR meter to give you a starting point if it will help.
@amberwolf-which turn count motor you have. Look like QS don't make 7T motor any more. I am more Interested in the 6T they may still make. Much appreciated.
I don't remember, will have to see if it's marked on the stator. (I got mine used)
I got the two stators out, and they have markings engraved on the edge of the support, but they're hard to read.
The one with the missing axle appears to say 30x4, with 33 just past the rivet. THe phase to phase inductances and resistances as measured thru the ~meter-long (8g?) phase wires by the DE5000 using it's shortest are as follows for each of the three phase pairs (I did not note if they were YGB, etc). (I couldn't measure at the windings without removing all the heavy duty fiber insulation wraps on the joints and the tiedowns)
188.2uH 0.044ohm
186.3uH 0.053ohm
186.6uH 0.050ohm

The one with the broken axle appears to say 40x3, with 11 just past the rivet.

rest of files in next post because it will only take ten per post.
Hopefully that helps someone, even if they aren't the right winding to compare with for yours.

Much appreciated@amberwolf. Wanting to do some simulations on grin simulator. From info seen cnQS, the 40X3 could be a 3 turn and the 30X4 a 4 turn @72V.
Optional: 72V510RPM, winding 19*666
72V650RPM, winding 24*545
72V820RPM, winding 30*434
72V1170RPM, winding 40*323
They not giving any phase/phase resistance or inductance info.
If only grim make a 3Kw low turn count motor.lol

Unfortunately until I can install the new axles and reassemble the (only) rotor I have onto each stator in turn, I can't test for kV / RPM.
But...the second-listed stator (with the sheared axle) came from this
endless-sphere.com
so if he says what speed he got out of the wheel and what size tire and what voltage he ran at, you can calculate what RPM / kV that one is, and then compare that to what they give.
I found the top speed info here
endless-sphere.com
"Top speed with zero flux weakening is 53 mph,", and he's using a 72v (84v full) pack. The current to do this appears to be 300phase amps and 150 battery amps; not all this info is in one post so I don't know for certain that all these things were true at the same time. First post says it's a 19" (MC) wheel, but I don't know the actual tire diameter; didn't see which tire it uses to check that but it's an offroad knobby from the pics. You can probalby guesstimate that, and keep in mind that the loaded speed he got will be some percentage (usually around 15-20) less than the unloaded speed the RPM / kV is based on.
You can then interpolate the other windings from the data on the stators I posted and the info they provide...it's not as good as an actual measurement, but if QS wont provide the info, it'll at least let you do some simulation guesstimates.
BTW, this is the post with my disassembly pics of that stator, which include some labelling/engraving on the covers, if it helps:

Hey what’s up guys. It’s been about a year since I’ve posted here during my last build which was a 72v scooter. It’s been running like a champ and is fun and all, but I need something else. Anyway, I need to get to the train station everyday ( 5miles) and I also need to get around SF throughout...

Interesting build, I am building om the same frame. How do you like your rear shock? I have been looking at that too, but I am a bit worried that the spring is to soft? On there cheaper line there are usually stiffer springs. What length is your shock?

The info NBP told me was the Qs205 v2 was rated as a 3kw and the Qs205 v3 was rated as 5kw. Dont know the technical difference of the two.
NBP told me the 5000w motor has different magnets than the 3000w motor.

NBP sells junk.
Friggin heres a pic of the QS ( not from the reseller harry or richard but from Alan, vince, vito and carrie, the real QS people... harry and rich are not) "3kW motor" vs the NBP clone " 5kW motor" junk.
NBP will lie to yall. Come join my groups DIY ebikes or Strictly hub motors and I will have 100K bikers to ask the same. I can tag everyone and ask them in a poll.. what the experience with NBP was. chunkojunk. Steel stator tiny wire " 5kW " will do 5000w... thats it... peak. Do more than that and it gets cooking ( I did 10kW on a peak but heated up the motor way to much, NBP junk) ...
QS 205 3kW will do 20kW easy. Not getting to hot.. then do it for 5+ eyars at that level of abuse. hell 10yrs some of us I bet.
you choose.
Either half the phase line for a motor " rated and sold for way to much on a fake name"
or the real thing.
you choose.
NBP " 5kW " phase lines vs a QS205 "3kW" SIA made Vito sold ( NOT harry or richard they are reseellleeerrrrss yall should know this by now) motor. ..... hits 60mph every day.
3kW QS motor is well over 2x the copper. Vs the NBP 5kW offering.
you will get what you get. No returns. Oh well and yup.

I got an NBPower 2000W kit and it was just too much, too heavy, and too much.
It doesn't help that I did a shunt mod on it right away cuz I knew the bettery could take it.
Kinda killed the range. Idk, it was too heavy and too much for a bike that's supposed to weigh 26 lbs.

On the Kwanshun website there are no 5 kW motors with a size of 205 mm, but there are 4 kW and I was led and bought it too, having disassembled it I saw that its magnets are 55 mm wide and the stator is 50 mm, I asked a question to the site employee, he answered that 55 mm magnets give an increase of 1 kW

could you show us a link to this motor? On the " kwanshun" site? the 4kW 205, you describe. please. thankyou friend.On the Kwanshun website there are no 5 kW motors with a size of 205 mm, but there are 4 kW and I was led and bought it too, having disassembled it I saw that its magnets are 55 mm wide and the stator is 50 mm, I asked a question to the site employee, he answered that 55 mm magnets give an increase of 1 kW
