fwiw im a similar mass 90+kg.. and my stock yose 250w rear motor conversion has enough oomph to put a smile on my face as i pull away and speed upto 15 mph still after 2 yrs on it.. Up-slope too carrying a £60 tesco haul..

Btw 15 mph is way too fast for many roads in not peak condition..
try ridding at 20 mph on a melted tarmack surface with divits and rises all over, even with top notch suspension (lacking on my bike) your backside will not be happy..

@ 90kg+ have you ever cycled at 20 mph (downhill wont count) ?? can your brakes function with a reasonable stopping distance at 20 mph?

Post conversion thanks to the speedo I learnt pre conversion my regular comfy speed was 11-12mph and given a good clear run i could hit 15 mph.. though my bike is 'heavy' and geared accordingly.

whats behind the need for speed???
He wants 10 miles each way with minimum effort. I think the 36v Yose kit would be a bit weak for that. He really needs a 48v 250w kit, but I don't believe Yose does one. It's what i said - you can't have everything.

Something close to that , after 10 hour shift don’t want to be peddling hard just want least effort as possible getting home , but still peddle but not ghost peddling , the journey from work nearly 7 mile straight long road . So just relax peddle back home ,where not sweating and the motor doing most off the work .

this is the map a done on google see it’s nearly one straight line. And give you idea how steep the hills are this 5 mile of me journey , so don’t know if the yose power 250w or 350 w would be enough or to weak with stock controller ??

But been have look on the internet and a have come across this motor never heard off it but
It’s a part of Bafang but there not much info
On the net about it ??


but it’s 36v controller but since Bafang KT controller could not swap this for KT 36v / 48 controller so have 250w with 48v ???

A just think 15 little bit to slow 19/21 is very comfortable and gets you A to B in reasonable time 15 can peddle fast than that but obviously not for that many miles .

In which case you have a choice. Buy a 350w kit that you can set the speed limit to what you want, knowing it is illegal, or get an e-moped with road tax, insurance etc. You can set the speed and throttle with the Yose 350w kit.
I have 250w and 350w Yose kits and was very pleased with both of them. I think you are being too fixated with speed. The difference between 15 and 21 mph on arrival time over 10 miles is negligible. I updated the 250w with a KT controller to get a higher top speed, but in practice I've found 15.mph fast enough and set it accordingly, with the peace of mind that my bike conforms to the regs.

You should look for a 250w 48v kit. The problem is that you have to search very hard to find a kit with everything: 250w, 48v, 29", rear, cassette motor. Its easier to buy the parts separately if you want the best, otherwise you're pretty well limited to the Woosh kits, which are adequate for what you want.

The controller and display will both be Bafang brand SZBF denoted, one can't simply change the controller for a KT model as it will not be compatible.

If you want 250w & KT then one needs to buy a 250w hub and the controller kit seperately.
