I own EPLUS 1000w 36v and did converted it to Lithium battery.
Inside EPLUS motor at 14,100 kilometers - spotless.
Why?- quality materials, design.
I own EPLUS 1000W 36V and it is real electric drive kit,
to this day I reached 14,100 kilometers /!!!/ on it.
BTW I dont live in mild climate but in harsh Canadian climate.
I did conversion to Lithium and forgot about front wheel Nickel battery long time ago.
first:
- EPLUS is designed to Western standards, means fail safe designed meaning:
you cannot overheat it for example - no burned motor here, full thermal protection which not just cut off power like that but limit power.
How important it is? well, ever read about those burned motors on ES forum and other ebike forums ????
Such protections , fail safe design should be obvious with ebikes just like home appliance but it is not. This what I mean by Western standards .
DIY ebike is educational for sure , exercise in electrical engineering , contrary to what sellers of kits advertise it is not usually 1 hour conversion, kits use cheap China controllers, cheap made of recycle pot alu covers motors.
But the most ridiculous is that the user can be blamed for burned motors on such cheap kits.
Many DIY builds went so far as opening motors and:
- replacing crap hall sensors with quality ones
- installing temp sensors
- replacing ridiculous thin phase wires with thicker ones
- weatherproofing with silicone
amount of silicone and duck tape on some builds ...
Don't you think many just want to ride with clean hands?? well worth money.
With EPLUS you can ride uphill as long as you like no need "to touch" motor for temp.
Controller is built into motor and it is sophisticated one Field Oriented Control with magnetic filed weakening - the best you can have in many aspects.
And it is just for start.
there other things like real weatherproof connectors/$$$/ /weatherproofing connectors - another nonsense /
How many DD motor will look like that inside after over 14,000kilometers ridden in Canadian climate?
