TROUBLE SHOOTING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I only sell through this website.
I dont sell via ebay or any other websites.

A Power Limit of 200watts exists in Australia for all electric bikes.

Australian Vehicles Standards Rules 1999 states: (page 13)
Part2: Application of the Vehicle Standards
No.10 Vehicles to which the vehicle standards do not apply
(c) " a vehicle propelled by a motor with a MAXIMUM power output of NOT over 200 watts" 

If the peak power of the motor (not continuous power rating or rated power) is above 200watts then it is classed as a moped and needs to be registered for 'on-road' use.
All of the motors  for  sale here have a peak power output of greater than 200watts ,  I can only sell them for 'off-road' use in Australia.
For other countries you need to check with your local roads authority.
Some examples: USA- 750watts continuous power 20mph speed limited (may vary state to state eg. washington state is 1,000watt continuous and 20mph speed limited).

I encourage  anyone who buys a hub motor kit to send  some pictures and info. on your set up to put in the customers projects section.
Any feedback is most helpful.


      


  China Trip Dec2006 and 2007 was quite a nightmare my former employee mr Qihua Shen and his family decided they would give me the boot and try to take all my stock. Its a long story how this happened but i managed to remove the crystalyte motors and a number of different controllers. I have been restocking at present there are no P2a motors and not likely I will reorder them. Other motors/controllers I have restocked but I am way behind with orders so please be patient if you've ordered something from me as restocking takes some time to do.    Also some lithium batteries were taken by Mr Qihua Shen and his father so sorry to customers waiting for those.

Beware of Spray Ebike Company

or website
ZJHubmotor.com


Spray ebike company is my former workman who has stolen my stock in china, he is trying to sell my stock via the internet, he has copied sections of my website without permission. He will be involved in a court case shortly where I am trying to recover my stolen stock. The website he is using is zjhubmotor.com

here is some more information about Mr Qihua Shen my former employee  and his family of thieves   click here
       
  Office in Jinhua city is not being used anymore, am having all remaining stock moved to Newcastle,Australia
and getting new stock all to be stored in newcastle location in Australia in the  future.




Please note: all motors for rear only: two reasons
1.some safety concerns for some types of front forks
2. its  more practical for me to order just one type of motor as manufacturers generally dont like to do small orders of lots of different types of motors

Lastly if your looking for anything to do with ebikes let me know, I'll do my best to find it, well actually Shen will probably find it I dont speak Chinese!

I've just put up this new website {postscript: not so new now: a newer website under construction at www.ebike.biz} ( on may 17th 2008) and theres much more I have to add to it, and some links are not up yet but shall be soon.
