500w Hub Motor Kit
The subtle and stylish matt-black planetary geared motor is totally freewheeling, meaning there is no resistance to the normal rolling motion of the wheel. This motor will reach a top speed close to 40km/h in regular sized wheels, and is still perfectly functional as a regular bike for exercise as well.
While we can supply 500w front hub motors, with most e-bike builds we highly recommend the 500w hub motor kit is fitted to the rear of the bike. Contact us if you would like to discuss options.
Our wheels are built using durable double-wall rims and thicker 12G spokes, to withstand the extra weight and torque of the motor. A spline mount is attached to fit your 7-10 speed cassette. The motor casing also includes holes to attach a disc brake rotor, if you bike has discs. All common wheel sizes are available to choose from, and there is a plug near the wheel for simple removal.
This quality motorised wheel is matched with a compact 17amp controller, the brains of the system, positioned between the battery and the motor. All cables come to this hub, and are designed to be appropriate lengths for the average bike.
The Basic Kit includes a throttle (thumb and twist style included for you to choose from). The Display & Pedelec upgrade also includes a throttle. Throttles are not strictly road-legal on a 250w kit (unless limited to 6km/h, which can be set with the Pedelec system). Throttles are great for people who really need the assistance starting-off, before they have rotated the pedals enough for the pedelec to kick in (around a quarter turn on the pedals). Riding an e-bike just on throttle isn’t road-legal, and looks really obviously illegal too.
We offer an Extended Warranty when we install the system, then giving 2 year warranty on products, and lifetime on the installation (providing we undertake the free annual safety checks).
