Description
E-BikeKit Rear 500-1000w Geared Hub Motor Conversion Kit with Pedal-Assist and Throttle-on-Demand functions. New Programmable LCD!
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.
Dropout Spacing:
This hub is spaced to 170mm w/ 15mm disc-offset for Fatbike rear wheels.
We can also space it to 190mm for use without a disc brake
If you have a bike that uses a rear disc brake and 190mm spacing, we can include disc rotor shims and screws to help line the disc up for 15mm disc offset.
Who's it for? This kit is for anyone wanting the best of the best in performance, efficiency, weight, and stealth. There is a 300 lbs total load limit, so if you plan on more than that, look to a direct-drive motor.
Conversion Kit Specs:
Watts (Nominal/Peak): 500-1000w (EBK 22Amp Controller)
Top Speed: Approx. 28 mph @4 8v in 26" wheel
Range: Depends on Battery Capacity (AH) and based on rider weight, input and terrain contingent.
Performance: High
Efficiency: High
Stealth Factor: High
Battery: Not Included
Charger: Not Included
Any battery chemistry (Li-ion, LiFePO4, Lithium Manganese, Lead-Acid, etc.) is acceptable, as long as the voltage is 36v or 48v AND the battery is capable of 22Amp continuous discharge. The Amp Hour (AH) battery specification is an indication of a battery's capacity. A battery capacity of 10Ah will typically deliver 20 miles / 32kms range.
Choosing Your Wheel Size: You can find your wheel size written on your tire. Available size options for this conversion kit are: 16", 20", 24", 26", 700c, and 29er. Acceptable tire widths for the E-BikeKit rims: 1.15" (29mm) - 2.25" (57mm).
Freewheel Choice and OLD Spacing: Our motors are intended for a 7-speed freewheel and provide 135mm OLD (dropout) spacing with a 7-speed freewheel and 15mm disc-offset.
When using an 8, 9, or 10-speed freewheel, this will increase the OLD by about 3.5mm per speed. When we assemble the motor here, we will dish and space it correctly to fit this. To install the wider wheel, you may need to spread the dropouts of the bike open in order to fit.
If you are not using disc brakes, so don't need the 15mm disc-offset, we can reconfigure the spacing to fit 135mm in many cases.
