Did I say it was? It's an electric bicycle, which is not the same thing as Mobility Mary's mobility scooter or an electric scooter.
Hope that clears things up for you.
Those little guys are not good. The concept is fine, but hub motors are a lot better.
Left hand drive is nice concept. There is a lot of advantages of LHD over hub or conventional bicycle middrives. I've only seen it on one commercial bicycle ebike though.
​
The concept is most commonly used with mid-drive gasoline conversions.
For example:
https://www.amazon.com/Disc-Brake-Adapter-Motorized-Bicycle/dp/B07BHY64ZS
That is a adapter that takes a normal 6 bolt disk brake and adapts it for a large chainring. If you get everything setup correctly you can even retain the use of your rear disk brake.
Here is a different style for non-disk brake bikes:
https://bicyclemotorworks.com/product/41-tooth-sprocket-mount-hardware-49cc-6680cc-motorized-bicycle/
That's a rubberized adapter that clamps to the spokes close to the hub. It sounds bad, but it actually works well. Used one in the past and it didn't cause any damage to the wheel.
The trouble is trying to find a place to put the motor.
Having a bit of trouble ATM but did find this. Is it like this one?
AlveyTech Hub Motor & Front Wheel Assembly for The Xiaomi Mi M365 (500 Watts) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q873BTL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Nqk4CbDEZEJTX
I had this exact same problem with my china motor, except I actually broke one of the head nuts off with a section of the bolt still inside. The other bolts were varying degrees of bent and stripped.
When I tried to purchase new bolts, but I quickly found that 3mm diameter bolts with a pitch of 1mm are close enough to "nearly impossible to find" to be rounded to "plain old impossible to find."
Because of this I'm now looking around for either a conversion kit or a replacement motor that doesn't have all the fiddly bits attached. Here are some links to motors/kits I've found that seem good.
Shure the conversion kit and the motor are more expensive than your full kit, but if your going to replace it you might as well get one that's nicer. Or if you're feeling cheep, there's always the one from Amazon. I hope this helped you!
