Three things. 1) this looks like a rip off of the urbanext and 2) I think they added one too many zeroes to the mah rating 3) That much torque on the front forks could be dangerous and you should consider a torque arm if you're using aluminium.

Hi Ben, thank you very much for this comprehensive contribution. There is one point you may want to clarify. What is the reaction of the wheel when pulling the brake, i.e. because of a red light? Does the wheel pull you into the crossing traffic, despite of breaking? Or does the engine stop working (as it should)?

This video is from 2017, and like everything involving electronics, the technology has improved and prices have changed since then. I'm doing the research on converting my cruiser bike to electric such as was done in this video, but from what I'm seeing so far, for the price of a conversion kit similar to what is shown in this video, plus a battery (most kits I've seen online so far do NOT include the battery - add a couple of hundred $$), you'd have spent $500-ish dollars on the conversion, maybe a little more, and you'd still have to do the conversion work yourself. That doesn't include the cost of the bike itself whether you've already spent that money and have an existing bike or not. On the other hand, there are already converted, complete electric bikes available online now for right around $600 with specs very similar to this and other conversion kits. Converting my existing bike is making less sense to me at this point vs. buying a complete electric bike already converted. The wild card is buying a bike sight-unseen vs. the cruiser bike I already have.

I'm not sure if I saw one this bike, but I would like to stress the importance of using a torque arm when installing a front hub motor. It helps prevent the axle bolt from twisting out of the fork which can be really dangerous to lose your front wheel, especially at high speed.

I bought an Android phone for my i mortor wheel. Make sure it has bluetooth 4.00. But I have found, the wheel worked, without me even switching on my phone, so you don't need a phone to make the wheel function. You mainly need the phone app to switch gears, battery level, speed... The throttle/accelerator switch works to propel the wheel without the app. You have to start peddling first of all, get the wheel spinning before the motor kicks in.

Keep in mind it is not water proof. Their website says: "It is best to avoid the rainy day ride or in the mud pit off-road. Because after this use, if the use of high-power water jet washing machine, will lead to rust of the shaft, friction increases, thereby increasing the consumption of electricity, and eventually lead to rust and abnormal bearings."

Yup, I find it's actually easier to steer a bike with an engine on the front than on the back in Winter. Less slipping it seems. I'm actually considering keeping this little Honda on the front of the Huffy to drive the front Kevlar tire for more Winters to come, and as backup engine in Summer, but adding on a 6.5HP engine mid-frame to chain drive the rear wheel for faster travel when roads are clear and safer for the higher speed, or as a backup engine in Winter. My suggestion for anyone on a much smaller budget, get 1 of those $150-250 Chinese engine kits for the back and 1 of those $290-400 electric hub motor kits for the front. It'd help with starting, riding and fuel efficiency, plus, if you run out of gas, turn on the engine, and if you run out of battery charge, pedal to bump start the engine. Maybe put on a set or 2 of adult stabilizer wheels for Winter though...

I've got the iMotor and it works pretty well except I can't get the bluetooth to work. Would there be a way to add another battery? I'm not a wiz on electronics. It seems all of the control boards are located in the moon shaped battery. Would it be possible to attach a pig tail that would come through the case on have a pug / connector to attached a similar or larger 2nd bank of batteries that could be hung in a bag, mounted on the frame or even laid in a basket? I've not taken any trips more than a few miles but I'd like to be able to do a ride of between 20 and 30 miles. Everything I've seen and read indicates the battery wont last that far. OR, would it just be best to get a second batter? Thanks

There's only so many form factors you can effectively use for an in hub brushless motor. Gearless drive means pretty low torque until you get it moving a couple of MPH. (high amps for low effect) But at speed its far more efficient. The key differences will the number and quality of magnets, stator poles and winding pattern. Quality of all materials used.
