Voliamart 26" 48V 1000W Electric Bicycle Motor Conversion Kit Ebike Front Wheel

Bad design
This product failed catastrophically on its first outing after 1 or 2 miles
After ascending a moderate slope the hub was overheating and smelling.
On the way home it burnt out completely.
I opened up the hub and found some windings burnt out.
Overheating and excessive current damaged the wheel hub motor.
This is always a possibility of this and a correctly built item must have thermal and current limiting in its construction.
This one does not.
Even worse, it is not fitted with planetary gears in the hub as all fit for purpose hubs are fitted with planetary gears.
This one has no planetary gears at all.
Therefore if is prone to over heating because it has low torque.
Conclusion: do not buy this type of ebike hub. If is very poor design and guaranteed to fail sooner or later, in my case sooner.
Do not waste your money.
