500 Series (500 Watt) E-Bike Kits crowdfunded on Kickstarter

For the 500 Series we returned to our manufacturers with our needs and collaborated to bring the best of various features into one single kit for half the cost of our competitors’ offering using our new proprietary battery management system and controller integrated into simple housing. This, combined with powerful brands like Samsung, Panasonic, Sanyo and 8Fun, give your bike super powers.

The 500 Series Kit Includes:

• Fully Laced and Trued Wheel Set
• 500 Watt 8Fun Planetary Motor
• Cabling for All Components
• Flexroute Universal Cable Guides
• V12 Pedal Assist Sensor (PAS)
• KM-SS LCD Computer (Velocity, Battery Power, Travel Time, 5 PAS Levels)
• 36 Volt Samsung Li-ion Battery System (11000mAh Tube or 13000mAh Rear-Mount)*
• Weatherproof Tube or Rear-Mount Battery Housing
• Lithium Battery Charger (USA/International 110-240v)
• Rear Carrier Frame for the Rear-Mount Housing
• Proprietary Battery Management System (BMS)
• Variable Thumb Throttle
• Front Torque Bracket Arm
• Proprietary Controller
• 2 x Battery Housing Keys
• Installation Instructions
• Limited Warranty

WE CHOSE A PLANETARY GEARED MOTOR FOR TWO REASONS:

1) A geared motor creates greater torque for starting motion and for climbing hills. There is not a better motor system for hill climbing and immediate power when starting a ride.

2) A geared motor is free-spinning which does not create any resistance when you pedal without the battery engaged. This is particularly important for times when you want to ride without the extra speed and power or if a battery runs out on a longer ride and you still need to pedal in order to arrive to your destination.

So what are people’s first impressions?

What are the options?

OPTION 1: 500 Watt TUBE-MOUNT BATTERY KIT

OPTION 2: 500 Watt REAR-MOUNT BATTERY KIT

OPTION 3: 350 Watt TUBE-MOUNT BATTERY KIT
