Comments on Fusinmotors Conversion KitsLet me start by saying thank you for the wonderful product. I received the kit April 23(Earth day) this year.
Steve at Worldwide Electrics has been most helpful. The kit came within a week and I was up and running within that day. I've spent money to improve and upgrade the bike but the kit has given me no problems.
I have about 700 miles on the bike now and have completed my shake down period. All the bugs in the system have been worked out and I have a dependable and stable platform to work with. It's time for me to start really getting hard data on range and battery drain. So this brings me to my question. Can I hook a cycle anylyst to the controller with the six pin connector that is there or will I need to use the stand alone version? I am very interested in spreading interest in electric bikes as alternative transportation. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Again thank you!!

The performance is very good! Both I and my wife have been riding it and enjoying it very much.
The gearing does make a difference in performance and gives it an edge in the marketplace.
I have received two other samples. I do not like them and at present they are not working.

I recently purchased a complete kit from Worldwide Electric bike. It is a geared 350W front hub with Fusin motors written on the side, so I assume it is the same motor Louis is writing about. ( I posted earlier asking if anyone knew about this kit-no one did so I purchased one hoping it was of good quality. ) I am new to E-bikes so I am probably not the best judge. I have three bikes at home--A Giant Twist which my wife rides (250W pedal assist). An EbikeKit 500W with a 36V LifePO4 and The Worldwide Kit (Fusin 350W, 36V 10AH LifePO4). I like them all--but of course they are all different animals. The Giant is fun and a great bike, and my wife loves it, but I like the speed and power so I got the Ebikekit from Jason. This is a smooth powerful motor, with good torque and speed. I probably have about 200 miles on it and am very pleased. Great battery too. Seems like my range is about 25 miles on a charge, with moderate pedaling and limited hills. I would certainly reccomend this Kit.
The Fusin is geared, with a 3speed switch on the throttle handle. it took a bit of getting used to choosing the proper setting, but now that I have it figured out I like the option of choosing settings.'
This seems like a solid and smooth hub--It is a much smaller footprint because it is geared. Racing my Granddaughter on The EBikeKIt vs the Fusin, there was no discernible difference in speed. Of course she is considerably lighter than me (by about 60 lbs). She was on the EbikeKit and I was riding the Fusin. Same type of bikes, exact same batteries. The Fusin battery is exactly like the EbikeKit from the outside--same case, etc. I do not have a clue about the inside, if it is the same unit or not. The charger is the exact same make and model. Overall I am pleased with this unit, and would reccomend it also..............
This probably does not answer any questions about the HML settings, but I did get a chance to test the Fusin on a bike ride today with my Grandaughter. She was riding the EBikekit bike, and I was on the Worldwide kit (Louis's Fusin 350W 36V LiFepo4) We rode an eight mile round trip up to Horse tooth Reservoir, which is in the foothills above of Fort Collins. The elevation map indicates it is variable grade, with the steepest at 11%. Very big hill. Both bikes handled it well, and the Cycle Analyst (on The EbikeKit) read 4.28 aH used. That is with moderate pedaling.
I tried all settings with the Fusin, starting out in H on the level surfaces, switching to M for the first section of the road, and finally to L for the steepest climb. I was moving along at a pretty good clip in M setting, and switching to L I slowed down, but felt the torque increase somewhat. I went for a distance on the steepest part of the climb without any pedaling, and the hub seemed to hold well. At the top of the hill I stopped and checked the hub for heat, and it was moderately warm to the touch, same as the EBikeKit hub. Of course it was only 65 degrees today, and probably cooler at the higher elevation.

I fitted the kit to a standard XXL 26inch mountain bike. The kit came with everything I needed and was great fun to put together. I housed all the connections in a tool kit bag under the seat and bolted the controller there also. The battery was no problem to fit however I did need to get two small brackets made up to really secure the battery tray. I also had a cover made for the battery.
The wiring diagram was easy to follow and because each connection was different, it was easy to complete.
I'm not sure where the extra lock goes or the magnetic wheel goes, (see photo) however the kit seems to work fine without these.
I like the power options it has and the hand grips feel strong when ridding the bike.
Overall I'm very happy with the kit. It's got plenty of power and fun to ride. I would be happy to recommend the kit to anyone.
