Ordered a replacement e-bike battery. Great product, fair price, prompt delivery. Thank you 🙏
Positives first: assistance is provided smoothly and seamlessly, cruising on flat at 25kph I barely noticed I'm climbing up 3% gradient at 24.5kph with assistance bar reaching 50%.
Install took about an hour including disc brakes and gears tune up.
It's a shame the legal speed limit in UK is so low, 20mph would make more sense now, given most cities have 20mph speed limit everywhere.
Negatives,
It's a decent kit but 12g spokes make no sense for 250w motor, 56Nm is about 1/4 of toque produced by average rider in low gear. And people ride on 28x 14g spokes wheels..
700c/28" rim is cheap butted seam rim with nipple holes burrs tall enough to go through most rim tapes and tubes.
I would rather see 14g spokes and entry level tubeless ready rim instead of tools. Let's be real, anyone attempting ebike conversion will have basic bike maintenance tools, probably better quality than cheese Allen keys supplied.
Everything you could require except the charger
I’ve waited a while before reviewing because I actually wanted to fit and ride the kit before reviewing. Well packaged, generous wiring harness, free tools (not total junk either) the wheel is nice and solid and the ugly graphics just peel off if you don’t like them. The hub motor is surprisingly compact, great if you don’t want to scream “e-bike”, brake levers and throttle are all good quality, pedal sensor is probably really neat *if* it fits your cranks (I’d didn’t mine) they do sell a more flexible KT sensor. The big screen is really nice, oozes quality and has basic settings easily accessible and some more advanced ones hidden but well documented, importantly they seem to work and do what they say on the tin. The Lishui controller is nicely made, and very quiet and smooth in operation, out of the box it’s not super powerful, but the current limit can be increased in the settings, I’m building hire bikes so I don’t want rocket ships, I was able to configure for smooth, quiet, long range and relatively low current.
Overall I would say the kit is *great* value .. you *might* be able to get all the bits cheaper if you really tried, but frankly this one stop shop is a *whole* lot easier - you’d only need to buy one incompatible part and any savings would be lost.
Rent one of my (Yose power) electrified classic tandems for a day in the Cotswolds at https://boft.bike
I've done over 7,000 miles on this motor 350W cassette in Sheffield, which is very hilly terrain, and it's been completely trouble-free. It's still very quiet, high torque and the planetary gears are in very good condition, although I've already replaced the grease. I had it set to a maximum of 600W with a gentle start. I also changed the controller and battery to 48V, which helps keep the motor running cooler.
Quick delivery well packaged unfortunately haven’t used battery yet the bike is in Spain
I was happy with the speed of delivery and the battery fitted well in my Swifty Liberte folding e bike. I've been using the bike for over a week and all works well.
Better than the orginal
The Yose kit in my opinion is the best value for money. It is in my opinion far better than many purchased e bikes. The controller works in a way it only provides the power you require rather than blasting away without any ‘thought’ of how much effort is actually required.
Power gauge doesn't stay on when you press it
Bought a few things now and service and after service have been really good.
Feels like a proper company!
We had searched for some time for a replacement battery for our Pendleton Somersby E bikes. Joey replied to my email enquiry quickly and followed up again to let us know when the battery was back in stock.The battery is perfect and was significantly cheaper than many other suppliers!
So far so good. Nice little kit. Thanks
Excellent service, the battery has transformed the bike. It is much easier to ride than before. I did not realise how bad the battery was until it completely give up and then replaced it.
That said the cost is not cheap, I replaced a 125cc petrol engine in a small motorcycle cheaper than replacing this battery.
Brilliant kit. Actually contains everything you need, right tools right kit. Fabulous to do and works really well. Definitely recommend
High quality kit, adds hardly any weight to bike, bottle battery version-just brings joy to cycling again
Excellent service at a great price.
Having had my bike from halfords for about 5 years i thought it may be worth adding a kit from Yose. I chose the 350w 13Ah kit. I came in 4 days. It was reasonably easy to fit hardest part i would say is taking the cassette off the orginal wheel. Im sure a bike shop would offer to do this if you struggle with the tools they supply. All the electrics are plug and play just match the colours up line the arrows up and push together. Bit of a faff with the excess wire but i tidied it up quite well. Alla in all a good kit well worth the money git me some extra use out of a bike I no longer used.
All nicely made to judge by appearances. Rack very sturdy and fitted easily. But the slider allows a bit of up-and-down wiggle room for the battery so that rattles and might wear over time. Battery seem to jeep voltage well although I've only made a few trips so far.
The kit installed nicely and seems of good quality now I've done a mile or so. Installed it on a £20 Marketplace old bike and seems like it would be befitting of a much more expensive donor bike but it's got me an ebike for less than £350 in total. Needed the other chainring sensor for this bike which I purchased seperately after, would be good if both types were included.
Fitted this unit to my old but very loved 1990s Marin mountain bike and I am thrilled that I can a) still use my bike and b) it does exactly what I need it to do. Used it for the first time yesterday off road and up hills.. as a slightly older 60+ lady who is not as fit as she used to be, this is an absolute game changer! Love the fact that it can be turned on and off as needed therefore extending the battery life and still get to have a work out. Ordering was easy, delivery was quick and well packaged. If you prefer the idea of keeping your existing bike but are considering going electric for a little bit of up hill assistance, I definitely recommend.
The delivery arrived on time and the battery meets my requirements. Thank you and I recommend buying, they are reliable.
The kit came quickly and was well packed. The kit was easy to fit and had easy to follow instructions. If you can service your bike then you can fit this and it works as shown. Makes bike riding fun again, well done Yose.
