Choosing between a complete ebike rear-wheel conversion kit and a bare hub motor is the classic fork in the road for a 48V 1500W build. One listing pulls together a 20-inch wheel, LCD display, controller, and brake lever in a single package. The other puts the 48V 1500W brushless hub motor with a 7-speed flywheel at the center, leaving the rest of the system to be specified around it. The price gap between the two is substantial, so the right call depends on what you already have on the workbench.
Quick verdict
If you need a ready-to-mount 20-inch rear wheel with an LCD display and a 48V 1500W controller, the 20in Rear Wheel 48V 1500W Electric Bicycle Ebike Conversion Kit Hub Motor LCD at USD 290.00 covers that scope. If you're sourcing the motor for a compatible wheel and plan to add your own controller and display, the 48V 1500W Hub Motor at USD 108.91 is the lower-priced component to anchor the build.

Product notes
20in Rear Wheel 48V 1500W Electric Bicycle Ebike Conversion Kit Hub Motor LCD
This is the more complete of the two listings. It teams a 20-inch rear wheel with a 48V 1500W controller, an LCD display, and a power-off brake lever. The listed wheel size is 58*25cm, and the motor is rated at 500RPM with a max load capacity around 150kg. The battery is called out separately as a 48V 20A lithium unit, so that part is not included. Assembly is listed as required, which makes sense given the number of components in the kit. At USD 290.00, it carries the higher listed price of the pair. Choose it when you want the wheel, display, and controller handled under one listing rather than having to match separate components.
For Electric Bicycle E-bike Rear Wheel & Parts 48V 1500W Hub Motor
This listing centers on the brushless gearless hub motor itself, paired with a 7-speed flywheel. The axle diameter is 17mm and the motor body measures 242mm, with maximum torque listed at 40N·m. It's designed to pair with a corresponding 48V 1500W controller, and the 6-hole disc brake mount is supported. At USD 108.91, the listed price is meaningfully lower than the conversion kit. That points to a component-level scope: the motor is the central part, with the matching controller referenced as a corresponding spec. This suits a modular upgrade where you select the rest of the build around the motor.
Final choice by use case
- Pick the 20in Rear Wheel 48V 1500W Electric Bicycle Ebike Conversion Kit Hub Motor LCD at USD 290.00 when you want a 20-inch wheel, LCD display, and 48V 1500W controller combined in one listed option.
- Pick the For Electric Bicycle E-bike Rear Wheel & Parts 48V 1500W Hub Motor at USD 108.91 when you plan to supply the wheel rim, controller, and display yourself and want a brushless hub motor with a 7-speed flywheel to build around.
