What are the normal US prices like for a Keyde kit?

What are you talking about?

You will need the Keyde specific tool. It is thinner with a large opening.

Very nice. I restored and converted a 1980 Gazelle with an S110. The Keyde conversion is the best for these old bikes. Share a pic when complete. The disk brake addition will be fun. Just on the rear? The Code Keyde use for advanced settings is 1919. You can then unlock wattage up to 750 peak...

If you would like an S110 manual, just send a message and I will make a pdf of mine for you. They are very simple though, so you probably won't need it. I can help you with settings, if you would like to unlock max wattage or speed.

Keyde will lace it into any wheel size you want. For a basic strong aluminium rim (any size) it costs £25/$40. A carbon rim will cost around £200/300$.However, this significantly increases the cost of postage. If you want a basic aluminium wheel, the extra postage and cost will be good value.

The through axle motor is based on an S110, but if you order an S110 it will be wrong. If the bike is through axle just ask for a through axle motor. Better not to mention S110 in case there is confusion and you get sent the qr axle model.

The S110 is not through axle. You need to order the through axle motor instead. The 10ah battery is quite big. I'd go for 2x7ah batteries, which are closer to bottle sized. The Keyde ones are quite nice, but you can use any 36v or 24v battery to power these motors. If you have somewhere that...

The through axle keyde does in fact work very well. I combine it with diy bottle batteries on non X35/x20 eride frames, using the di2 holes for internal cabling. I have attached a pic of this conversion on my moda. The S110 or Through axle is the best suited for this type of conversion as it is...

What one?

I used the largest capacity 18650 cells available to me, with a good discharge rate, a fair bit better than the stock battery. I overbuilt just in case. I used Molicell P30b (3500mah, 30amp continuous discharge). So 252wh. I originally wanted to fit 5000mah 21700 cells, in a 10s2p, but it was...

I recently converted a Lapierre x35 frame for myself. I used a Keyde motor with integrated controller, and similar spec to the mahle. However it is a little faster than the x35. It is a brilliant system. Not had any issues in over a year, and aftersales support has been fine, although things...

I was considering this carbon frameset for my custom ebike build. I use the shell of the x35 battery to make my own internal battery, and then install a better motor and system that is cheaper to fix and maintain. However, it looks like it is designed specifically for the mahle x35 system to be...

I am not sure yet how to incorporate it, but would hope that China would design frames to accommodate it for diy builds. I hope it does not go the route of canbus or communication protocol, as that is just annoying. The quicker "right to repair" becomes a thing the better.

Have you seen the little Truckrun bottom bracket motors? I am trying to research these and get more info, but hit a brick wall. No response from the manufacturer. It is incredibly frustrating.

Agree. Their marketing is poor. If they got that right, they would take over the ebike conversion market in most countries. Its a bad day when I am the external expert in their stuff 😆

If you need a hill cruncher they are probably not for you. A mid drive would be far superior in that regard. I was also skeptical having read similar reviews to the ones you mentioned. However, a full S110 motor and display sent to Scotland with delivery is only around £220 (about $300), so it...

They will answer via Alibaba. They are very good to deal with direct. The local distributers know less than we do and are overpriced 🤦🏼‍♂️. I use the S110 mostly as it is virtually silent and better suits discrete builds. The P110 is noticeably louder but also a little more powerful. I have one...

I have played with just about all the available ebike motor options there is. I think Keyde is by far the best of the hub drive options. Just very neat and functional. My first entry into ebikes was friction drive. I messed about and made one out of a vesc, a 6083 motor and a little diy 24v...

It is not optimal for hills, but still helps an awful lot. They are a good bit faster on the flat or gentle uphill than a geared hub. A bafang or other geared hub, or even better a mid drive, would be more appropriate for hills. The Mahle and Keyde direct drive motors are more suited to people...
