E-BikeKit Rear 500w Geared Hub Motor Conversion Kit with 48v Li-ion Battery Pack and Charger.

The E-BikeKit 500-1000w geared conversion kit is powered by an internal 5:1 planetary gear hub motor with a clutch. The clutch in the geared motor offers zero drag when pedaling and not engaging battery power. This motor is more efficient, resulting in increased range (especially with "start/stop" riding), has more starting torque, and has greater hill-climbing ability than a direct-drive motor of equal power rating. The motor is also smaller in diameter for increased stealth and 3.4 lbs lighter than the 500w direct drive.

Who's it for? This premium electric bike conversion kit system is for those that want the best of the best in performance, efficiency, weight, stealth, and speed. The top speed is 28 mph! There are a 300 lbs total load limit so if you plan on more than that, look to a heavy-duty system.

Watts (Nominal/Peak): 500-1000w (EBK 22Amp Controller)
Top Speed: Approx. 26 Mph @48v in 26" Wheel
Range: 10-44 Miles (Based on rider's weight, input, and terrain contingent)
Charge Time: 3-7 Hours (From 0-100% and depending on battery choice)
Weight: 21 lbs (9.5 kg)
Performance: High
Efficiency: High
Stealth Factor: High

Lithium batteries provide a high level of performance for the duration of each discharge (unlike seal lead-acid where performance is diminished 1:1 as the pack is emptied). Lithium batteries have a much higher power-to-weight ratio than lead-acid and 5-8 times the number of charge cycles (how many times a rechargeable battery can be charged from 0-100%). The lithium option costs more initially, but over time, the "cost-per-cycle" is about half the cost of lead-acid. Lithium packs also require less care as they can be left partially charged, and do not require immediate charging after each use. All batteries MUST be properly cared for during storage.

Battery Choice: We offer 3 battery packs for this kit. The 9Ah li-Ion shrink-wrapped battery is the lightest and smallest, at just 5.8 lbs. The 20Ah li-Ion shrink-wrapped battery is the longest-lasting, with a 20-44 mile range. The 10Ah li-Ion aluminum case battery is a rugged enclosure, carrying handle, and locks in place with a key.

48v 9Ah Bag Battery  DISCONTINUED

• Range: 9-18 Miles
• Price: $1,302.00 - $1,798.00 (Depending on Freewheel)

This e-bike battery is a lightweight and easy-to-carry pack. Two of these packs will fit into one canvas battery bag (included) nicely, offering the option of taking one or two of these depending on your range needs. You do have to connect them one at a time as needed; the same for charging.

** It is common to carry two 48v 9Ah batteries in the same canvas bag in order to double your range. However, these batteries can not be used in parallel with one another. In other words, you would have to physically unplug one, in order to use the other. **

48v 10Ah w/ 2-Tier Rack

• Range: 10-20 Miles
• Price: $1,526.00 - $1,584.00 (Depending on Freewheel)

This li-ion e-bike battery offers a nice finished look plus a locking mechanism for securing the battery in the middle section of an included 2-tiered rack. The top of the rack remains clear and available. 

48v 20Ah Bag Battery

• Range: 20-40 Miles
• Price: $1,740.00 - $1,798.00 (Depending on Freewheel)

This e-bike battery is the largest capacity, longest-range e-bike battery we offer. This pack weighs 14 lbs and comes in our canvas battery bag with velcro straps for securing it to the top of a conventional rear rack.
