FAQ

Can I buy a spare battery?

Yes. We find the vast majority of people don’t need a spare, but if you want to go on very long bike rides you can double your range by charging a spare battery and taking it with you. You can purchase a spare battery here.

Do I have to use the thumb controller?

No. The thumb controller is your choice. We find that some of our customers prefer not to use the thumb controller and that’s fine, the bike will automatically work on the pedal assist mode.

What if I don’t know my wheel/tyre size?

This is a common question.  Your tyre size should be written on the side of your tyre.  There will be a series of numbers showing the diameter and width.  It will look something like this: 700c x 38.  Occasionally different cycle manufacturers will use a different scale.  If you have any problems working out your tyre size, please call us on +86 199 7018 0785.  Alternatively, you can email us a picture of the writing on your tyre to miya@lvbu.tech

Does the kit accommodate hydraulic brakes?

Yes it does. The kit will automatically sense when the brakes are applied and cuts the power to the motor.

Will Lvbu kit fit my bike ?

LVBU kit will fit most bikes except thru axle. 

What is the difference between KD30S and KD40S

The only difference between KD30S and the KD40S is the capacity of the battery pack. KD40S has 40 cells battery pack (36V 11.6Ah) and KD30S has 30 cells of battery (36V 8.7Ah), everything else is the same. 

How much does the kit weigh?

The entire kit weights 6.5kg/7kg.

How long is the lifetime of the battery?

Lvbu ebike kits use EV 18650 lithium-ion battery cells with class A quality. Working with our own BMS system, the lifetime of the battery is very high. 80% capacity remains after 1,000 cycles. So normally it can last 5 years.

*Note: The definition of one cycle is that charge the battery from 0 to 100% and discharge it fully. For example, if you charge the battery from the 0 to 50% and discharge it to 0, that is 0.5 cycle.

How to connect Lvbu kit with the APP?

Open the APP and allow all the permissions that the APP asks for. And tap the magnified glass icon on the right top of the APP to search for the Bluetooth address. Select the right address of your kit in the list to connect.
 
*Note: Please connect the kit in the APP, don’t connect it in the operation system of the phone. You don’t need to input any pin to connect. And please make sure all permissions are allowed and the kit is not connected to other devices. The kit can just connect to only one device at the same time.

How does Lvbu wheel recognize uphill?

Lvbu wheel has a built-in six-axis gyroscope, which can sense the slope of the road such as uphill and downhill. But if you want to detect the slope of the road correctly, you must calibrate the gyroscope angle on the level ground first. The way how gyroscope works is as below: 

  • The purpose of calibrating the gyroscope angle is to give the gyroscope a horizontal reference, telling the gyroscope that the current angle is level, so that the gyroscope can detect the slope. 
  • If the gyroscope is calibrated on a downhill road, the gyroscope will regard the downhill road with a certain angle as a horizontal road, but when the bike is on a level road, the gyroscope will sense it as an uphill, in that case the motor will always provide assistance; 
  • If the gyroscope is calibrated on an uphill road, the gyroscope will treat this uphill road as a horizontal road. And when the bike is on a level road, the system will shut down the motor because the gyroscope sense the level road as a downhill road by mistake.

    Therefore, you must calibrate the gyroscope on a level ground, otherwise there will be problem with the assist system.
How to connect LVBU ebike kit with Bluetooth display?

BTC02 Display Connect Method:

  • Please turn off or disconnect the Bluetooth connection on your phone before the Bluetooth display connects to the LVBU Wheel. The wheel cannot connect to more than one device at the same time; 
  • Press the power button of the Bluetooth display to turn it on. Then press the power button three times continuously. The display will search for the Bluetooth address of the lvbu ebike kits nearby; 
  • After the display finishes the search, press the up and down keys to select the right address of your kit and press the power button to connect.

DW03 Display Connect Method:

  • Open the APP and connect it with the Lvbu ebike kit
  • Press the power button of the Bluetooth display to turn it on.
  • Tap the "device" icon at the bottom right in the front page of the APP-->Tap "Add Device"--> Select the display in the list to connect.
What is lvbu kit warranty policy?

For battery, motor and controller, we provide one year warranty.

Do I need a mobile phone to operate my bike?

No, using your mobile phone is your choice. If you want, you can download the Wepower app, where you can set the pedal assist mode, see the speed, temperature, battery level and mileage covered. But this is entirely optional, and the bike will function perfectly without it.

My bike has disc brakes – will the kit still work?

Yes, the kit fits both V brakes (sometimes called rim brakes) and disc brakes.

How does the pedal assist work?

The kit has an “intelligent assist control module” which works in conjunction with a gyroscope calculating the power you need.  It will assist you automatically when you are pedalling.  The motor will not work until the speed reaches 5km/h. The system will increase the power when you go uphill and will shut down the motor when you are going downhill.  When you brake, the system can detect the decrease of the speed, and will stop the motor.

If you push the thumb throttle the bike will be fully driven by electric power, but when you release it the pedal assist system will kick in again automatically.

How long does the battery take to charge?

Approximately 4.5hours/6 hours at the mains.  The battery comes with a charger.

Is the import taxes included in the price? Do I need to pay taxes when I receive the ebike kit?

If the delivery address are in the countries below then you don't need to pay any taxes or VAT:

United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, Russia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Czech, Republic, Austria, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Poland, Lithuania, Finland, Latvia, Croatia, Ukraine.

How does Lvbu kit system work ?
  • Lvbu assist system is an intelligent assist system which can calculate out and provide the proper power based on the speed, acceleration, the slope of the road, and the assist level set in the APP or display. It will provide proper power automatically when you pedal. The motor will not work until the speed reaches 5 km/h. 
  • It will increase the power when it senses the acceleration is positive and decrease the power when it is minus. The system will also increase the power when going uphill and shut down the motor when going downhill. And the kit can also be controlled by the optional wireless thumb throttle. When you push the throttle, the bike will be fully driven by electric power, but when you release it the assist system will kick in again automatically. The introduction of the 5 assist modes is as following:
     * Manual mode: The most often used mode. The users can set a proper assist grade from 0 to 99 for themselves. 0 stands for no assist while 99 stands for the strongest assist. Under the manual mode the user can use the optional wireless display to set the assist grade instead of using smart phone. After setting the assist grade, the wheel will assist automatically.
     * Commute mode: Under this mode, the wheel will have relatively strong assist power all the time. The output curve of the assist grade is as shown above. It is similar to an assist grade of 60% in the manual mode.
     * Leisure mode: The assist power output is as the curve above. It is a curve similar to a damping ratio. Half an hour is a cycle. At the end of the cycle, the assist will become stronger.
     * Exercise mode: This mode has a small assist output. One cycle is also half an hour. After about 10 minutes, the assist power output will become stronger in the rest of the cycle.
     * Climbing mode: The wheel provides a certain assist grade only if the road is uphill that above a certain slope angle. The assist grade and the slope angle can be set in the APP. For example, when you set 2 degrees and an 80 assist grade, the wheel can give you an 80 assist grade when you are on the road with slope angle above 2 degrees.

     Note: Lvbu's intelligent assist system can be upgraded by the APP. We will keep optimizing the algorithm and publishing the new firmware.
Is Lvbu kit compatible with V brake?

Yes, Lvbu kit is compatible with rim brakes and disc brakes.

And a free new disc can be provided if you need.

Is it safe to use the front wheel drive?

Yes, it’s safe to use the front wheel drive. 

The power of the front wheel motors those lvbu ebike kit use are between 250w to 350w, so there is no safety problem. Actually, there are some advantages to using front motor drive: 

 It is more efficient to pull the bike compared to push the bike.

 The front motor will balance the weight of the front wheel with the rear wheel to make it stabler

 It is much easier to install the front wheel than the back wheel.

What are the functions of the APP?

The APP has two main kinds of functions as following: 

  • Set the parameters:
    ①Search and bind the Lvbu ebike kit: You need to search and bind the kit with the APP when you use it first time.
    ②Calibrate the gyroscope angle: The gyroscope angle must be calibrated after the first time you attach or reattach the kit to your bike.
    ③Set the assist mode or adjust the assist level.
    ④Set over-speed alarm.
    ⑤Set the maximum assist speed (speed limit).
    ⑥Lost report.
    ⑦Firmware upgrade.
    ⑧Restore factory settings.
    ⑨Set the wheel weight, load, wheel size, etc. ...
     After adjusting and setting the parameters, the system will automatically save values instantly.
  • Show cycling data:
    ①Riding speed
    ②Riding mileage: total mileage, current mileage, uphill mileage, etc.
    ③Kit model
    ④Bluetooth address
    ⑤APP version
    ⑥User instructions ...
    We are keeping optimizing the APP all the time, the new version of the firmware and the APP will be released from time to time, you can update it anywhere with the network of your mobile phone.

Do I have to connect to the APP while riding?

No, you don’t have to connect the kit with the APP when you are riding. The assist system is written in the controller, not in the APP. But before the first time you use it, you must calibrate the gyro angle for the bike.
You can set the assist grade in the APP and put your phone in your pocket. The kit will provide proper assist power for you automatically.

What is the range of the battery?

The battery is a high quality power lithium-ion battery, 36V, 9/12AH. The range is approximately90/120 km+. But that does depend on many various factors, including terrain, slope, your weight and how much you pedal and your level of assist.

Do you have a local dealer or oversea warehouse?

Yes, we have oversea warehouse in Europe.

And for some countries, we do have local dealers.

I ordered the wheel and 20 mile battery for both my wife and I. Amazing!! I bike everyday almost 20 miles even when my wife doesn't join me. This has made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. The hills and wind are now no issue and my range has dramatically increased. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

I purchased it in mid-winter, and saw limited use the first few months. Now that spring has arrived, I am finding it hard to get off of the thing! Extreme weather is the only thing that will prevent my daily ride. I am learning to manage the battery more efficiently each time out. Typically, I will only use the motor in a strong headwind, steep hills, or when my 64 year old legs start to give out. This equates to much longer rides than I would normally make, 20+ miles is now common. Pedaling at all times is the key to battery life. A push of the button, and pedaling becomes a joy instead of work! The simplest solution is usually the correct one, and LVBU has made it about as simple as you can get. Installation is a breeze, and the light, low power motor is all that you need to assist you. Lithium batteries keep the weight down, and are highly recommended. All things considered, a good bike with a good conversion kit becomes a GREAT ebike! No need to buy an expensive electric bike (I've had a few). This should be the last bike I will need, and hope to ride well into old age!

The kit enables me to bike anywhere in town. Before the purchase, I wanted to ride my bike more, but it's just too hilly in my little town. I'm in my 50's and in okay, but not excellent, shape. I'm enjoying my bike so much that my best friend bought a conversion kit too and now she loves it too. Also, the video showing the install looks very straight forward, however, but my bike was too difficult for me. I just took it to my local bike shop and they installed the wheel, battery, and wires for me for a very reasonable price. They also said that they could support me if I needed maintenance.

The conversion kit motor was pretty easy to install, even with my disc brakes. It has changed my mostly uphill, 5 mile commute from a source of pain in my arthritic hip to a fair amount of joy. I can now cruise up the hills, and using it on the flats is addictive! Great job, I'm very happy with the results.

Great way to have fun and invest in yourself! I've had my hub wheel for half a year now and it's been very fun! I bike 40 miles each day commuting to work and back, which used to take 1.5 hrs out of my daily routine. With hub wheel, I have to work LESS hard and gain 45min back to my day. Its nearly already "paid for itself" in the time I've gained back. It also is a lot more sustainable to bike commute now because on the days you are tired, you almost don't have to pedal at all. I live in a city, so I find the speeds acceptable. I used to avg 9-10mph, now I'm up to about 20mph. I look forward to biking every day!

Worth every penny spent. I am 67 years old with arthritic knees. While I go out for walks every day to stay mobile, my son does not have this luxury. I enjoy walking the back roads of our small town and often wished I could take my son with me to get him outdoors and stimulate some interest in life. I ordered two kits and in no time, they arrived. This eBike kit is meant to be an 'assist' and it works perfectly for myself in our hilly terrain. So far, so good. We have not had an issue so far. I would not hesitate to recommend the kit to anyone and especially to seniors or those with mobility issues who still want to be 'ride'. In fact, I have a younger friend who is interested in purchasing a kit for his father in the Spring.

This is an excellent product with very good assembly instructions. I purchased this product because my spouse could not ride a bike more tnan 50 yards without getting winded. Enjoying bike ridding together is now possible. For our first bike ride after assemblying the LVBU Electric Bike Kit, we were able to ride more than 4.5 miles with ease. Have been using the product now for more than 6 weeks. The product is durable, powerful, and reliable.

I put the motor on my old bike (around a 10-year-old bike). I can now go to the grocery store, load up with groceries and never pedal a bit either way. This saves my cars from short range trips which gum up the exhaust valves. I would recommend to anyone who lives on flat terrain like here in Florida. For significant hills, I think you might need a 350 watt (or even 500 watt)motor.

I bought this kit to commute to and from work. Even as I struggle to get back into biking shape after having twins, I've still cut 12 minutes each way off my commute and it's been a lifesaver on the big hills between home and the office. for the price of a yearly parking pass at work I get to here in almost the same time as driving because I get to whizz past all the traffic.

the wheel is AWSOME!!! I have yet to run that battery down. My bike rides are between 5 and 12 miles with some flat areas but we have a lot of hills and some are steep ones. With the electric bike, and me standing up pedaling those steepest hills are really good exercise and I can make it to the top and keep on going. Of course I am huffing and puffing but that is ok. I probably spent half an hour installing the equipment, and securing the wiring which I thought was pretty fast. This unit has worked perfectly. There have been quite a few people interested in it, and I recommend this kit to every one of them.

I thought my cycling days were over, due to back and knee problems. For 2 years I worked with exercises, avoiding lifting and not riding my bike. I decided to give my bike one more try but was not successful. That was when I discovered lvbu website. It was easy to install. The instructions were very straight forward. I have taken to it gradually with great success. I believe I am getting stronger because of the help from the motor. I really like that I can peddle unassisted when and where I like and use the electric assist only when I want it. I can tell you the conversion has given me a new lease on life. I love cycling and intend to continue as long as I possibly can!
