Now we've got that out of the way, these 36v kits are very,very quick! The 500w kit comes with a 20A controller or please see my other listings for a 1000w kit with a 25A controller - just have a look at the size of the controllers and you can see we're talking serious kit here! Each kit is capable of taking you and your bike to way more than 20mph and the 1000w will, in fact, take you over 30mph!
The battery system consists of three lead acid batteries which are housed in a removable, plastic case which is mounted on a rear rack. The casing normally also contains the controller and key switch but since I've upgraded the specification of the controller it now sits in a separate bag. Overall, this provides a similar solution to the 36v road legal kits i.e. removable battery pack for charging on the bike or of it, but this is, of course, quite a bit cheaper.
There is only one difference in that, on the road legal kits, I provide a 12 months warranty on the batteries. Because these kits take so much more power than a 15Ah, 250w system I am providing a six month warranty on the batteries. The other components are twelve months as normal.
The kit comes with a twist type throttle, contains the pedelec (pedal assist) components and comes with a rather smart integrated twin headlight and battery meter unit. Please note that the pedelec function is almost redundant and you are, in my opinion, better off not bothering to install it!
The kit comes with everything (please see below) you need to convert your bike including full and detailed instructions with easy to follow pictures!! (Took the pictures myself so no strange "lost in translation" Chinese words either!)

Notes: The width required between the forks to allow the motor wheel to fit is 100mm. If your forks taper, you need a minimum of 85mm at the narrowest point. The kit is for V brakes as there is no integral fitment for a disc. Bar diameter for fitment of throttle is standard 22mm.
Plese note that because this kit uses a rear mounted battery carrier it has been impossible to design a universal fit as some bikes have lugs on the frame below the seat for mounting the carrier arms, some don't. You will therefore need to be a bit mechanically minded to fit this kit and may need additional fittings such as nuts and bolts over and above those supplied. Also, this kit is not for the faint hearted and you will have to be absolutely certain that your bike is capable of handling the power provided.
Alien Bikes take no responsibility whatsoever if you use this kit on your bike and anything happens to you at all regardless of circumstances!
