Are you torn between choosing a powerful kit and a road-legal kit? Well, have both in one! The UK/EU regulations dictate that a kit must not exceed the rated power of 250W to be road-legal. Which is not great news for the thrill-seekers, power-hungry among us who want to have the occasional fun off-road yet still be able to ride sensibly and legally on-road. On the other hand, the practicality of a road-legal kit means giving up the fun one could have off-road. So which kit do you choose? With these new rear wheel kits, CycloTricity had set out to resolve this very dilemma for its customers. We have developed a unique system that allows the user to swap between two modes depending on whether you are on-road or off-road, allowing you to unlock the full power where it is safe and legal to do so. This dual-mode system is embedded in the LCD Dashboard which can unlock the full power of the kit using a special code (this can be obtained upon signing the de-restriction terms of use). Please note that this is not the same as a de-restriction switch which has been questionable from a legal standpoint. Remember that these are not like the cheap Chinese imports you find on other listings. These are sophisticated products designed in the UK with a full network of dealerships across the country supporting the components of this kit. A quick glance at the wiring system will quickly reveal our superior water-resistant connections designed to prevent corrosion, short circuits and cope with the worst of British weather and stay durable for years to come. Typical kits found online. Bad and complicated connections found on most kits you see online. These connections are prone to corrosion and short circuits causing kit malfunctions fairly quickly especially in humid conditions. Our unique water-resistant system prevents failures and ensures durability extending the kit’s lifespan manifold. While the common conversion kit suffers from complicated installations and a heap of messy wires to tidy up along your bike, CycloTricity has reduced all that to simple three wires. They are colour coded and uniquely shaped making it so intuitive that you barely need instructions for! Complicated, messy and once something goes wrong, very difficult to diagnose. We’ve designed our system with the consumer in mind, making sure installation is as simple as it can be without clogging up your bike with a heap of wiring. All this without losing functionality. It also comes with a network of dealer support found across the country should you need assistance. Please see CycloTricity website for your nearest dealership. Motor: 500W and 1000W brushless rear hub motor – Restricted to 250W and 25km/h by default as a road-legal kit – 500W version reaches maximum speed of 32km/h once de-restricted – 1000W version reaches maximum speed of 50km/h once de-restricted – Wheel size: 26inch, 700c, 28inch or 29er – Wheel material: Double walled alloy rim with reinforced spokes to withstand extra pressure. Controller with water-resistant connections – Motor cable and system cable with water-resistant connections – Controller bag with multiple straps allowing for easy mounting of the controller on your bike – Throttle: thumb type. Brake levers: Electric levers that also cut the power when applied. Brake compatibility: Compatible with both disc brakes and V-brakes – Fork compatibility: 135mm between fork drop-outs (which is the vast majority of rear forks that are suitable for a derailleur). Things to think about before purchasing this conversion kit. The rear drive motors are only compatible with a 3speed, 5sp, 6speed, 7speed, 8speed, 9sp and 10sp freewheels not compatible with a cassette type gear. If you have a cassette, this needs to be swapped to a freewheel, a local bike shop can help you with this. If you have a single speed bike, you can install a 3speed freewheel for compatibility (and use only one of the 3 speeds). The rear forks on your bike need to have 135mm clearance between the drop-outs (which is the case with the vast majority of bikes). The LCD computer is necessary to unlock the full power of these high power motors. And a 36V battery if you pick the 500W motor kit (which usually works out as a cheaper option). The electric brake levers supplied with the kits are mechanical. They are not compatible with hydraulic brakes or brakes that are combined with gear levers. However, installing the brake levers are not a necessity and the kit will work fine without them. Moreover, the throttle is spring-loaded, i. It will cut the power whenever the thumb is released from it for safety. In other words, the kit is compatible with hydraulic brakes, you just need to avoid installing the brake levers that we supply you with. Examples of bikes with this kit.
