Hello All!
I've just recently signed up, but I have been reading the forum so much for the past few weeks to the point head hurts. It's a lot of information to soak up on a completely new subject for me.
I bought a new bike (Polygon Path 3, size L, 700c) that was on sale a month or two ago with the intention of converting it to an e-bike. It's decently spec'ed and has Shimano hydraulic brakes (160mm) rotors.
I was looking at Yose Power / YosePower kits from even before I found the forum.
Two threads - and posts - on here from the user @Cadence provided me with valuable information about their kits
Ideally I'd like to stay legal and he stated (since he has both 350w and 250w Yose kits) that one can use the 18a controller and the C500 display from the 350w kit to be able to unlock the 250w rear hub kit to full throttle and top speed.
He also states that their 250w motor does better on hills/climbing than the 350w motor. The latter has a higher top speed (23mph compared to 17mph) but is not as good on hills.
The 350w kits are well reviewed and are affordable and within my limited budget, but they have 350w engraved on the side panel of the motor, which scares me a little.
So I asked Yose if I could get the 250w rear kit, without the battery, so I could buy a battery separately since the 13ah is not enough for me, and while at it, also get their 18a separate controller and the c500 unlocked display.
They sell the 350w rear kit without the battery so I thought it wouldn't be a problem but they apparently do not sell the 250w this way.
I've read plenty of very informative posts from the likes of @saneagle, @Nealh, and @vfr400
In which vfr400 stated there are no disadvantages to 48v kits compared to 36v. And that technically any motor can be used with 48v.
My one disadvantage I see with the 48v, is that I am struggling to find a kit or a motor with compatible controller that goes with 48v.
I'm eyeing the Woosh kit, 250v 48v - but it requires 180/203mm disc rotors, and I don't know what I'd have to do to overcome that.
And it's a little over my budget sadly.
So my question is, could I really use any of these 250w motors in 48v? Or which ones would be best? Which controllers?
I really like these tidy controllers from Woosh and Yose kits, with the 3 or 4 waterproof connectors and not the square connector types that have a cornucopia of wires everywhere.
My bike has 700c wheels.
Pardon my rather impulsive and verbose first post.
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you all.

HI, Finally joined after lurking for a while as a visitor! I've just bought a Yose 36v. 250w rear motor kit (cassette) and in the process of fitting. I bought the 250w. kit because it had black spokes to match my front wheel. I would have preferred the 350w kit but that has silver spokes. I...

SWX02 36V vs 48V
So what would be the advantages/disadvantages of a SWX02 48V based kit over a SWX02 36V kit please? Rear hub kit. This would be on a 700c hybrid, 85 kilo rider (with backpack for work) 15 mile commute (one way), some small hills. Thanks in advance.

My First Electric Kit Conversion 250W
I want to mount only one wheel with motor, that is, the wheel would already have the motor built. I don't know if this is complex, but it seems like it's easy to watch a YouTube video, right?
