E-Bike Conversion Kit 36V 250W 28"(700C) Front Motor Kit R1 with 36V 13Ah Rear Battery and Color Display
Battery fitted great but wasn't compatible for the electrics on my bike I returned it last Wednesday.
I am very pleased with this e-bike conversion kit. It transformed my standard Decathlon B'twin Riverside 500 into a powerful, reliable electric bike. The performance after assembly is fantastic, but if you are planning to install this exact kit on a Riverside 500, here are two practical tips regarding installation quirks to help you along the way:
1. Non-Derailleur Side Dropout Modification
Issue: The rear axle/dropout slot on the non-derailleur side was slightly too tight for the motor axle.
Solution: A tiny amount of material needs to be removed. Just take a small metal hand file and lightly widen the dropout slot. It takes less than two minutes and ensures a snug, perfect fit without forcing the axle.
2. Battery Mount Reinforcement
Issue: While the battery holder does align with the original water bottle cage mounting points, relying only on those two stock points feels a bit flimsy.
Solution: For maximum stability, I recommend drilling two additional mounting holes into the frame. Because space inside the frame triangle can be tight, using a standard drill equipped with a right-angle drill attachment and a hex-shank step drill bit makes the job quick and easy.
Note: The included rubber mounting pads/spacers are fantastic—they dampen vibrations effectively and protect the frame paint!
Final Verdict
Despite the two minor physical adjustments needed during installation, the kit works flawlessly on the B'twin Riverside 500. The end result is extremely sturdy, clean, and a complete joy to ride. Highly recommended!
The only point worth noting is that you absolutely must install a cartridge-style bottom bracket if your bike doesn’t already have one. The tool meant for tightening the lockrings on a cartridge bottom bracket didn’t fit—it was the wrong size—so I had to go to a nearby bike shop to buy the right tool (and borrow a wrench) to tighten the components.
Grazie al kit Yose Power ho trasformato la mia vecchia mountain bike in una meravigliosa ebike… Assemblaggio semplice e intuitivo, motore silenziosissimo e potente. La batteria consente percorsi, in autonomia, di circa 50 km. Semplicemente fantastico.
Hello,
The set was a succes , all the parts are in the box with the manual and the tools are in the box too that's perfect ! The bike run's smooth and fast
Avec cette batterie, Impossible d’allumer ou d’éteindre votre VAE.
Tout n'est pas écrit dans le descriptif !
Ce type de batterie ne dispose pas de bouton d’alimentation. Il s’agit d’un système « prêt à l’emploi » (plug and play).
Pour mettre en route votre VAE, il vous faut sortir la batterie de son logement, puis la replacer ; ceci à chaque arrêt.
Ce n'est pas des plus pratique.
Le bouton sur le visuel vous indique seulement la charge de votre batterie.
Très déçu !
Bonjour, nous vous présentons nos excuses car cette batterie n’a pas répondu à vos attentes. Merci de nous avoir communiqué ces précisions ; nous allons revoir la description du produit afin de garantir que nos clients disposent d’informations plus exactes.
Super E-Bike-Umbausatz! Das Laufrad ließ sich schnell und problemlos montieren. Alles funktioniert einwandfrei und die Qualität ist top. Vielen Dank an den Verkäufer!
Conforme à mes attentes, envoi rapide, facile a monter. Après un essai très satisfaisant je recommande ce produit. Merci yose power
Battery fitted great like the old one pity the bike wouldn’t work with it
Hi , thanks for sharing your experience. We’re glad the battery fitted like the original, but sorry it didn’t get your bike working. Please contact our support team with your bike model and battery details so we can help check compatibility.
Mein zweites Umbaukit!
Wieder war alles bestens.
Einfacher Einbau und tolle Leistung.
Ich kann YOSE Power sehr empfehlen!
Yose Power made my old Bianchi Steelframe Classic-Bike from the Seventies to a Urban Commuter that feels like a Rocket. This Bianchi on 700-23C Michelin Dynamic Classis, is still using the stock Brakes from Saccon and the 12 Speed Camapnolo Shifting with friction levers. I upgradet the 6 Speed used at rear motor from 14-24 to a 14-28 Shimano, for better mountain usability, but the original part would have fitted. 14Ah Batterie under the seat post.
Weight before electrification: 11,1kg
Weight now, with batterie, Light etc.: 18kg (fantastic value!)
High Speed with electric support:
between 32km/h - 38km/h (36V - 42V)
Hi, thanks for sharing the details of your Bianchi conversion! We’re thrilled the kit has transformed your classic into a lively urban commuter while keeping the weight so impressively low. Enjoy the rides, and happy cycling!
Gutes Set mit starkem Motor, einfacher Einbau wenn man auf die Maße achtet, Überland ich fahre immer in der höchsten Unterstützungsstufe und in der Stadt in der 2 ten Pas stufe, bringt grinsen ins Gesicht. Viele Grüße aus dem Allgäu 🚵👍
