It turns out that the LED battery level indicator on the battery itself is inaccurate. I left the battery on the charger for a few hours and it fired right up.

I've been slowly putting together a 1000w Voilamart kit on my days off. Before completely buttoning everything up, I wanted to test the motor to make sure it works. I hooked it up to a smaller 36v 13ah battery while I wait for the 48v battery to arrive. When I enabled the power switch, I...

I was able to shave down the bolt just a bit more and slightly back off the nut and all seems well! I took the bike for a short 100yd ride and it seemed to work OK other than needed to adjust the gears a bit. I can't use the largest rear gear as the rear wheel hub is too wide and the...

I apologize, I didn't word that well at all (I fixed my post). It spins freely when spun backwards by hand but when I turn the pedals or just use myhand is when it binds up and requires a lot of force to turn the wheel. After further inspection, I think it's the rear derailleur screw that's...

Do I add a washer to each side or just the derailleur side? I'm not sure another washer could fit. The tolerances are very tight.

Alright! Everything is fit together. I've noticed that after installing the rear wheel, it's difficult to spin by hand pedaling. I loosened the rear derailleur side and it began so spin as it should. Even with the right side slightly loosened, the derailleur will not go to the smallest gear...

Will do. Thanks

I just tried this and it worked great, it definitely spread the dropouts as I could see it spread each time I tightened the nut. The issue I'm having is when I loosen the nut, the dropouts spring back in right to where their original position was. My thought is to spread further then needed...

Thanks I'll give it a shot. I appreciate all the help.

Not sure the name, but these dropouts are opposite. I have to lift the wheel in to the dropouts. I did end up filing the dropouts a few days ago and now the axle fits. Do you suggest not spreading alloy?

It's on the outside with the bolt passing through to the inside. The bolt is what was binding up. I just made about 6 passes on the back of the screw and it fits like a glove now... a very tight glove but it no longer touches the cassette. You can see in the photo there is no room for the...

I have. That last photo is just to show what the inside looks like with the derailleur and screw in place. It sticks out too far and hangs up on the side of the cassette. I'm going to try to do a little filing of the nut and see what happens.

I had some time to poke around today and found the following: The first photo is the right dropout with the 2 threaded screw holes. I found a screw to fit but if I use those holes, the dropout on the derailleur doesn't line up with the dropout of the frame. The 2nd photo shows how the...

I'll give it a shot.

Are you thinking I should keep the nut for the derailleur and spread the frame?

That piece of metal is the nut that holds the screw for the derailleur. The hole is threaded, but the screw that came with the bike is too small... I suppose I can get a bigger one and try that.

Thanks. I'll give it a try

I was able to get the rear wheel in place but only with the derailleur removed. I've attached 2 photos showing the nut wedged against the cassette. Ignore the lack of spacer(s) this was just testing to see if it would fit. So at this point it looks like I'll need to spread the frame?

I haven't gone to that section yet so I'm not too certain what it is about, but I'll check it out.

You explained perfectly the issue I was experiencing... Thank you! I just finished filing down on side and it seems as though it fits in much better. I didn't fully install the rear wheel, but I slid the axle in by sliding it in from the outside. I tried the above before filing it down and...
