You would be buying a kit from someone who's put together complete bikes and kits for over two years - please see my past listings and feedback. I know what the drawbacks are in many electric bikes, weight, battery technology, quality issues etc. and with this kit I think I've eliminated pretty much all of them.
The kit is brand new to the UK market and I've tried to keep it at a price which I believe is extremely good value without cutting corners.
So, if you're in the market for a kit to convert your own bike to electric you won't find much better than these - especially at this price. However, if you can't be bothered doing a bit of DIY, please see my other listings and buy yourself one I prepared earlier!
Many thanks for looking!
THE KIT
Convert your own 20", 26" or 700C wheel bike with this easy to assemble Front Wheel Drive 24 Volt 10Ah Road Legal Lithium Ion Conversion Kit.
With the Battery Pack and Controller mounted in a discrete bubble pack behind the seat and a brushless 250 Watt Motor providing power to the Front Wheel, this kit is for those people who want to have an electric bike but don't want anyone else to know about it!
And, unlike some other kits you may have seen, the motor is a genuine Suzhou Bafang QWSXB2 and the very keen price INCLUDES the 24v Lithium Ion battery.
The kit and especially the battery pack is very lightweight and, because it's front wheel drive, you can utilise your own multi gears without having to fiddle around, as with a rear wheel conversion, trying to get everything to fit.
And, unlike many electric models which have the controller mounted low down, this bike has the Controller assembly mounted with the battery pack behind the seat to suit the British weather a bit more!
The kit also comes with a THUMB THROTTLE to suit most modern bikes with grip changers.
The kit comes with everything you need to convert your bike including full and detailed instructions with easy to follow pictures!! (Took 'em myself so no strange "lost in translation" Chinese words or anything!)
Video refers to the motor in the 24v kit with the throttle briefly being used to
get the motor going then switched off to show the freewheel capability.
Expected Range: 15-25 Miles (NB: totally dependent upon
the weight of the rider and whether it's flat, hilly etc)
Speed: 15 Mph under Throttle (UK Legal Max
although you can pedal faster and you may get a bit more from the kit due to "inaccuracies" in the controller electronics and the fact that I've specified a US controller!)
Notes: The width required between the forks to allow the motor wheel to fit is 100mm. The kit is for V brakes and there is no integral fitment for a disc. Bar diameter for fitment of throttle is standard 22mm. If you have thumb shift gears and the brake levers are separate to the thumb shifts I would recommend fitting the new levers as they cut the power to the motor when applied. However, if you don't want to fit them then there's no technical need but it is an EU legal requirement.
** Please also note that the kit is equipped with a US spec controller capable of 20mph which is presently set at 15mph - the UK legal limit at which power is cut off to the motor. However, this can be easily adjusted from 15mph to 20mph but any attempt to do this would, of course, render the bike illegal for use on UK roads. Just to make this absolutely clear, this does not mean that the bike will then go at 20mph, it simply means that the controller will allow power to be used up to 20mph.
ADVANTAGES OF THIS KIT
It has easy to follow instructions from someone who's put together complete bikes and kits which have been on sale for over two years - please see past listings and feedback. I know what the drawbacks are in trying to convert bikes so with these kits I've eliminated them as much as I can.
I've chosen a front wheel conversion rather than a rear wheel because you are then free to use your existing gearing and the complete back end can stay as it is. The sealed controller is enclosed in the same bracket assembly which is used to hold the battery so it's up high and away from most of the British weather.
The removeable battery pack is also lightweight and it's easy to lock in place and remove when you want to charge it.

ADVANTAGES OF LITHIUM ION
Li-ion batteries are lighter than other equivalent batteries and MUCH lighter than Lead Acid batteries. They do not suffer from memory effect and also have a low self-discharge rate of approximately 5% per month, compared with over 30% per month in nickel netal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
However, to preserve your lithium-ion battery it should be charged early and often so when you come back from a ride, simply plug the bike into the charger regardless of how much power you've used.
The Battery Management System, integrated into the charger and the controller, will take care of how much charge the battery needs. Please note that if you're going to leave your bike for a long time then charge up the battery every now and then to ensure that the battery charge doesn't fall to too low a level.
Please note that I provide a
12 Months Guarantee on the controller, motor and battery.
