Squashes as flat as a sheet of paper in a few months
Bought 4 of these for 2 bikes. Compressed totally flat after a few months and totally useless. The foam is too soft, you can tell that the moment you squeeze it. They have gone for light weight over function, which renders the product useless under compression. Use a liner instead with high puncture resistant tyres and thick inner tubes...

Poor bearings/bent axles and awful square wave controller that only outputs 650w - 1000w 48v front wheel kit
5 of 8 found this helpful Bought 3 of these Voilamart 1000w 48v front conversion kits at the same time, all 3 had the same problem: Bent axles/tight bearings and REALLY noisy controllers. The bend in the axle makes it feel like you have a tyre fitted unevenly, I had to put every wheel in a vice and bend the axle straight, yes the metal used is quite soft (metal from China is notorious for being soft). The bearings start off tight and bind bud do free up after about 20 miles, but does make you wonder on the quality of them, hence why I have ordered a few sets of SKF bearings ready for when one bikes set fails. As for the controllers, most now use sine wave controllers, these are quiet and smooth, but no, not Voilamart! They use nasty really cheap square wave controllers, this makes the motor sound like a drill when accelerating and cruising with a buzz like a swarm of bees are following you. Also the controller is supposed to output 1000w, I used mine with a Turnigy 100 amp watt meter and it draws 580w peak up a hill under load, a far cry from the 1000w! Ditch the controller for a real 1000w sine wave one! All in all, the actual motor is ok if you are prepared to replace bearings at some stage and possibly need to straighten the axle. The kit is worth the £115 I paid, but no more seeing as you will need to replace the controller (which will mean also replacing the throttle) which is another £50 on top...
*2022 update!
March and the first set of bearings gave up, no warning, just went tight within a mile on a 15 mile ride. Lasted a lot longer than I thought though (about 800 miles). Also keep an eye on the spokes, as they work there way lose over time (twang them with your finger to make sure they all sound about the same note)...
I can't believe the price of the conversion kit has gone up from £115 to £250 though! Shocking...

Ok as speaker wire, but copper coated aluminium not solid copper wire, so hard to solder to and high resistance
Affordable speaker wire thats thicker than most for the price and works ok as speaker wire for your average diy installation. But here's the down side, it's not solid copper, its copper coated aluminium. Copper coated aluminium is something the Chinese do to make wire on the cheap that is ok for it's intended use but with drawbacks. It has a higher resistance than copper wire, and you have a really hard time soldering to it (it just turns black and the solder does not stick to it). So if you just want average wire for an average speaker setup then it's fine, but if you want quality wire or something you intend to solder to, look elsewhere...
