DIY motor components

 

Kit Components

  • 2 Switched Brake levers

  • Throttle assembly with battery indicator

  • 36V or 48V 30Amp brush less motor controller 

  • Ignition switch, fuse holder, fuse and keys

  • 37V 10Ah lithium battery with charger

  • EMF brush less geared motor plus dual wall rim and cluster and torque washers

Different motor sizes are available such as 200W, 350W, 500W or higher. 

Depending on the individual, a bike kit can be put together to suit your specific needs. 

Components can be changed to give you for example a bike that runs for longer at a slower speed or one that goes fast over a shorter distance or a combination that will give you fast speeds and further range. 

Building the bike from scratch gives you the opportunity to have a one-off unique electric bicycle. 

We supply the rims because an ordinary bicycle rim is not strong enough for the torque that it gets subjected to when a motor is mounted in the hub. Normal rims do not endure the torque of the motor and end up pulled apart. 

The tire is ideally filled with a thorn resist fluid and it is recommended to use thicker inner tubes to prevent punctures. When fixing a puncture care must be taken not to damage the wiring around the motor and the correct placement of the torque washers is essential when the wheel is taken off and refitted.
