48V 500W 26-Inch Rear Hub Motor Wheel

This listing presents a 26-inch rear wheel with a brushless, non-geared hub motor in the selected 48V 500W configuration. The chosen variant is labeled “48V500W / Rear wheel 170mm / 26inch” and is intended for a rear dropout measuring 170 mm. The seller’s images show a freewheel-style rear hub and a disc-brake-compatible wheel. However, the available evidence establishes a motorized wheel rather than a complete electric-bike conversion system. PMCODE did not physically test this product.

What the selected variant includes

The visibly established item is the motorized 26-inch rear wheel. The listing’s generic title mentions several voltages, power levels, and wheel sizes, but those broader specifications should not be applied to this selected configuration. The selected setup is:

• 48V rated voltage and 500W rated power
• 26-inch wheel size
• Rear hub motor position
• 170 mm rear dropout selection
• Brushless, non-geared motor design
• Freewheel type shown in the seller image
• Disc-brake claim shown in the seller’s specification image

A controller, display, pedal-assist sensor, brake sensors, throttle, battery, torque arm, and installation hardware were not shown or listed as established bundle contents. Confirm the package list before treating this wheel as part of a planned conversion.

Specifications and compatibility

The listing also shows other wheel and dropout options, including 20- and 24-inch wheels, a 190 mm rear option, and a 135 mm front option. Those alternatives are not the selected configuration. Check the bicycle’s actual rear spacing, wheel clearance, brake arrangement, axle fit, and freewheel compatibility before ordering. The listing’s “Chainring Teeth” option label may refer to axle or dropout choices, so read the variant selector carefully.

Practical limitations

Seller images claim performance figures such as approximately 32–35 km/h, 289–346 RPM, and 59–66 N·m for the 500W version. These are seller claims, not PMCODE measurements, and real results would depend on the controller, battery, rider, bicycle, terrain, and setup. No range, efficiency, ingress-protection rating, or exact independent certification was established. No exact independently verified UL certification was found for this listing and selected configuration. Warranty coverage and replacement-parts support were not established.

Buying checks

• Ask the seller for a written package list and confirm whether a battery and electrical accessories are excluded.
• Verify that your frame accepts a 170 mm rear hub spacing and a 26-inch wheel.
• Confirm the required freewheel, brake-rotor interface, axle hardware, and torque-arm solution.
• Confirm connector details and controller requirements before purchasing companion components.
• Review current shipping, stock, destination, and return terms at checkout because listing conditions can change.

This product should be considered an incomplete motor-wheel component until the remaining conversion parts are confirmed.
