Convert any bike to an electric powered bike

Great Reasons to Ride an Electric Bike! 1. Some hills are just too steep and or long. 2. The ride was further than you thought. 3. You just don't feel like pedaling anymore. 4. It's fun to zoom along and show off. 5. You want to get where your going sooner.

Electric Bicycles and Other Stuff

Electric Bicycle Motor Kits
Motor Size, Battery Voltage, Controller Capacity
What you need to know befgore you buy

Battery Power Kits
The heart of the system, the power you put in, is the power your get out.  The next focus should be, will the motor and components handle the power that you supply.
There is a simle foumula for determining the size or capacity of the motor which is measured in watts.  The formula is this. AMPS x VOLTS = Watts.
Now, what power do you need?  24 volts, 36, 48, 60?
Questions you need to ask yourself. How far, how fast do I want to go?  How much do I weigh? Am I going to encounter hills and headwinds?
The more voltage you supply, the further you get and the faster you get there.  This comes with a price add lead acid batteries and you get more weight, add lithium batteries and you spend more money.  There are so many variables and there isn't room here so you might want to check out http://www.pegasuspowersystems.com/id140.html for semi-complete information sheet.

Lithium Batteries
Are they right for you?  They cost a lot more money, are they worth it?  Maybe, the life span is about 3 to 4 times longer than the lead acid type and weigh about a third as much.  Lead acid batteries require charging after every use or they will deteriorate.  Lithium-ion batteries are not as sensitive to this.







New T-800
This powerhouse brushless hub motor with 48 volts for a new experience on a bicycle. Exercise is encouraged because you never have to worry about getting home without a sweat.  Not registration, drivers license or insurance required.
Hmmmm. this might work.


Wilderness Energy
One of the original electric bike motor kits have been around for years with their 600 watt brushless electric bike motor kits.  Their kits today are powered by 36 volt lead acid or lithium-ion battery systems.
Known for their simple installation, reliability and affordability.  Based on your wants and needs, they should certainly be considered.
