Our kits provide not only all motor components, but the batteries as well – Normally the most expensive component and excluded from most kits on the market.
Our kits are the best electric conversions available – The “in hub” motor is completely independent of chain drive and gears making the system the neatest and most straight forward to fit.
Our kits are intended as a rear wheel conversion, as these provide far better conversion than front wheel kits, (wheels can also be fitted to front of push bikes). Rear wheel conversion minimizes stress on the front forks and frame of the bike which is often an area of failure on front wheel conversions. The rear wheel drive also removes the “awkward” feel of a front wheel motor and provides better traction in gravel or off road conditions.
The 400-watt motors are pre fitted into an adult size mountain bike wheel rim to remove the DIY effort of having the motor spoked into your wheel rim.
Screw threads are provided on the wheels to allow gear cluster and/or disc rotors to be fitted if required. Disc brakes and gear clusters are not included with the kit as these can be removed from your existing bike.

The AH rating of the battery determines the distance the bikes travel between recharges. The 14AH lead acid battery supplied should provide around 15Klm of travel between recharges for a 400W motor. Undulating terrain, heavy rider weight and frequent start/stop will affect the expected distance between charges.
Bikes can use the pedals and motor in any combination – bikes be pedaled without using the motor. Throttle can be used without pedaling or both throttle and pedals can be used together.
