First thank you Joey for your support, not very good with bikes but your help was very much appreciated.
Ordered Monday delived Wednesday order the wires for the brakes which came the week later.
First unboxing and everything looks impressive
1st issue battery didn't fit the way I wanted and had to turn it the other way and then the bolt on bike were to high stopping the battery fitting, I am sure this is common and poss 2 bolts could have been included.
2 issue the front wheel fits but due to forks motors was running and took a lot of grinding out.
After that everything fitted perfectly and somewhat straight forward, the wiring is so long but better then being short. The wiring is very good quality and the fit together seem nice and firm.
The first ride got a puncture this is poss down to no wheel liner.2 ride with liner fitted no problem. The power from the motor is incredible was very impressed with pick up and so quite it's hard to tell is it's on. Control is easy to use and understand.
Over all if you have a old bike and not sure if a ebike is for you then buy this kit you will not be disappointed
Seller sent me wrong battery,which stopped my ebike working,the told me to lie to courier about sending battery back as lithium batterys prohibited item with most couriers.return and refund took days,my worst experience buying online by far,be careful buying battery as returning it is not simple
I have fitted 3 Yose power conversion kits in the past for myself and 2 of my adult sons and they are a great piece of equipment. This time I purchased a secondhand kit and I wasn’t disappointed, other than the box being opened at 1 point this was a like new kit and great value for money. Would definitely get another secondhand kit if I was ever doing another project.
I bought this kit because my ORBEA cycle has been redundant for over 10 years.
Ordered the 36V 360W 26” system after looking at various different sites. Came within 3 days, well packaged and on time.
Rear wheel, looks very good once fitted. I bought a new 9 speed cassette, the wheel does not come with spoke tape, I used Gorilla tape which works very well.
Battery, didn’t fit fully in my bottle holder so improvised with cable ties and only one bolt to secure. Would have helped if the slots in the control bracket were adaptable.
PAS, doesn’t work for me as my crank is wider, so I had to order a new one with the wider fitting ring. £14
Brake levers, doesn’t work for me as my bike has hydraulic brakes.
The hand accelerator has to be fitted by removing the grip and in my case had to cut the grip to fit.
The display unit is good, easy readable and lets you know how you are performing, I changed mine to Miles as opposed to KM.
The kit overall is good but I think it would be better to have a supermarket system to select the parts that fit and not pay for unusable parts.
I have covered 83 miles since fitting, i live quite rural and there are a lot of hills to contend with, I am 58 and 113kg and the kit works well, I am getting around 25 miles on a full charge and taking into account my size and area, I think thats quite good, the PAS is the best thing for me, I stay on number 3 unless I have to go slow through gates etc if you are not used to it, you get caught by surprise when the PAS kicks in. The accelerator is not a push and go system its more of a keep the bike going constant speed without the effort, but the PAS can be used for the same thing by turning the peddles with using pressure.
Overall I am pleased with the kit.

Was unsure what I needed. Got accurate advice, quick delivery. Super
my BSA Raleigh is quite old and the PAS did not fit due my bikes crank.
I ordered the disk shaped one, it works.
Absolutely brilliant, these guys know exactly what they are doing, my 1st conversion so needed a little advice. Emails replied to almost immediately. Super fast delivery. 👍
I bought a kit sold as a conversion kit to add an electric motor to my bike. The price was better than others, and lots of poeple spoke about it as being good value. On arrival it did not have a battery included, which wasn't clear from the listing. In my view a conversion kit should include everything needed to convert it. Somewhere in the region of £150 for a battery may have made it cheaper to go with a competitor.
Very quiet operation with impressive torque. Handles steep and hilly terrain really well and doesn’t even get very warm. Still faultless after 500 miles. I am really satisfied and highly recommend it!
I'm really impressed with this kit. Especially compared to new bikes it represents a huge saving and I'm already planning the next two for family members.
Installation: I had a number of issues installing it but none of those were the kit's fault. You'll need to use the provided brake levers because they have a kill switch inside them, whereas I had integrated gear and brake modules. Found some new gear changers for about £20 online and replaced them easily enough. The PAS sensor was too small for my pedal rotor which seems to be quite a common thing. Either you'll have the smaller size which fits perfectly or you'll have the larger one like me that won't even get close so I spent a while filing it down until it did fit. It's not perfect now but it is secured and it works fine. The battery didn't fit in the frame initially because the screws were too far down on mine so I drilled and tapped another hole further up. One to be aware of as the battery is quite large. The only complaint I have towards the product is I'd like them to have included screws for mounting the battery. On normal bike screws the head is too large and won't allow the battery to seat so I did have to go and find some short head M5s
Usage: Everything feels way more premium than the price tag would suggest. The included headlight was a nice touch too as it's very bright. The motor pulls really well and having the thumb throttle is really useful for getting going from T/L stops before the pedal sensor has kicked in. The performance is very customisable as you can change the number of assist levels, the % of power at each level, the top speed etc. The assist levels aren't really how much assistance the motor provides, it's just the speed the bike will go at. So in effect you choose an assistance level based on how fast you want to go rather than how much help you want
Since having lung surgery cycling uphill has been a problem for me. This kit has given me back the enjoyment of cycling. Thre were a couple of teething problems but YOSE service have been very responsive and the minor issue are fixed. Since my bicycle is small we had to put the battery on a rear rack but there was plenty of cable to reach.
Thank you YOSE for giving me back my cycling life.
Haven’t installed the kit yet but it arrived very promptly. Useful to have all the tools I will need. The instructions seem very clear and easy to follow.
I'm in my late 60's and this has got me back on my bike, easy install. Would be helpful if they included battery adapter as I had to wait for it to come from china to install.
Really impressed with this kit has made ease of cycling much easier no longer breaking a sweat or out of breath after commute to work highly recommend if you’re thinking of buying this great investment can’t go wrong for the money 👍
Very affordable brand Good quality and very easy to set up.
The magnets are small and the tape is fiddly to secure. I am not sure how long they will last in the UK winter. Super glue might be a better idea.
A very good product
I think think this battery has infinite power. I previously had a switch kit that was barely managing 3 miles. Having fitted this battery (with an adapted from A*****n) the range guess-o-meter has not dropped off max despite many journeys. Extremely happy
Great Kit easy to put on the bike .C500 display easy to set . Wife now very happy getting to work
Slight modifications to fit my bike.but very good.time will tell !
As described and delivered quickly
Really difficult to install, but the battery itself works perfectly fine.
Received promptly and fitted the conversion in half a day. Minor problem sorted out between emails and works well.
Easy to fit and great price. Ideal replacement for old worn out one.
