The whole kit including wheel, hub motor, and batteries weighs only 18 pounds. Ride your bike just like you always have, but when you get tired, have a windy day or get to that one nasty hill, just press the button for a big boost of power assistance! These motors effectively double the strength of the average bike rider, kicking in with 150-250 watts of assistance depending on which model you use. Converting your bike to electric power is a great alternative to investing in expensive and complex electric or hybrid or even standard fuel efficient compact cars like the Honda Insight or the Toyota Prius or Camry.

Is that a Huffy Stone Mountain? LOL I still ride mine everywhere.
dose the kit come with everything in the vid(not the bike I know)?
What would be the max speed it can go for a guy that weighs 250 pounds.
no it is charged from a socket at home, then used along the trip, when it dies you either replace with a spare charged battery or you would have to pedal the rest.
can you peddle without the motor on or will it have resistance(does it have a freewheel)
how fast can it go with pedaling?
how much does the kit wieght
i second that! I also have 20 inch folding bike. : )
We’ll be ordering from you soon. Great ad.
so pedaling charges the battery and then you can use the power in the battery to run the motor?
Please, please, pleazzzze, tell me that you are making a kit for 20 inch folding bikes. If you are I want to buy one right NOW! I’m in love with your kit.
Celebrate life! Laurie
is there anyway to increase the speed of this bike by adapting a larger battery? or would you need a bigger hub/motor?
Dang cooL! You should find a way to create a charger so that when you padel the padels…it charges the batteries or…..whenever the front wheel spins the magnet….it charges it. You know what i mean?
how fast does it go?
Cost? and would you deliver to New Zealand?
i like your ride a lot better than the goverment motors(GM)chevy volt.who wants to pay 40 grand for something that makes a pinto look like a caddy?your ride is so cool.
the world needs more people like you and less people that throw sticks at people like you.
have you seen the lincvolt neil young is working on?its on youtube check it out.
many thanks to you and people like you for trying to make the world a better cleaner place.
Kindly tell me if its a brushless motor. Also is there a rheostat of some sort to control how fast the motor would go? How much would your kit cost?
You gave me some hope to convert mine! but you didn’t show how to put the ‘throttle’ part. How do I do it?
Thanks. What part of the whole concept do you find the most interesting? Ease of installation, price…?
wow, i dig that
You said “Thanks, Bro!” to me, in this video; twice.
Thanks, Bro!
Hi there,
congratulations for your job!!
I´m trying to get 2 set of theese kits through your website but no answer so far… I am really interested , how can I do ?
After having tested I´d like to introduce them in Spain/Europe.
Please send me a couple of lines.
Cheers
nvm dude
Haha. Yeah, I don’t think he understands the value of the quick installation and quiet, clean operation. Also, who needs to go 37mph without pedaling? That’s what motorcycles are for, but our kit is for your very own bike that you already enjoy.
