Hub Motor Kits

• Freewheeling: A Hub Motor Kit has internal nylon planetary gears, meaning the wheel freewheels without resistance when the motor is not engaged. This makes it an excellent option for riders who want to pedal as normal on the flat and use assist on the hills.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to other e-bike motors, such as mid-drive motors, a hub motor is often more affordable, making it an ideal solution for budget-conscious riders who still want a high-quality electric bike experience.
• Smooth Operation: Ebike Hub Motors operate quietly and smoothly, providing a seamless ride without the noise or vibration that can come with some other motor types.
• Low Maintenance: The hub motor requires less maintenance than mid-drive motors, and is less exposed to water or dirt ingress. This makes it a convenient and reliable choice for riders who want to minimise upkeep and repairs.
• Ideal for City Commuting: A hub motor kit is an excellent choice if you primarily ride on flat, paved surfaces like city streets. It provides the extra power needed to cruise through traffic or tackle small hills without frequently overwhelming the rider with the complexity of changing gears.

Front vs. Rear Hub Motors:

When selecting a Hub Motor Kit, one of the critical decisions you'll need is whether you want a front or rear e-bike hub motor. Each option has its advantages, depending on your riding style:

• Front Hub Motor: Putting the motor in the front wheel is easier to install. It can balance out the bike's weight if a rear rack battery is used. However, if there is not enough weight on the front of the bike, the front wheel can lose traction under acceleration. Front hub motors can work well for casual riders and those who need a simple, efficient way to convert their bike.
• Rear Hub Motor: A rear Bicycle Hub Motor delivers power directly to turn the rear wheel, providing better traction and control, especially on steep inclines or rough terrain. This makes it an excellent option for riders who want more power and stability for climbing hills or riding off-road. The bike will be better balanced, especially when choosing a central frame-mounted battery.

The Benefits of a Bicycle Hub Motor for Everyday Riding

• Consistent Power Output: Hub motors provide steady power, without the jerky acceleration or pauses when changing gears, which some mid drive motors have. This makes them ideal for city commuting, where smooth starts and stops are essential.
• Minimal Pedal Resistance: Unlike mid-drive motors , which can add resistance to your pedalling when the motor is off, a bicycle hub motor has very little drag, allowing you to pedal comfortably even without motor assistance.
• Reliable for Long-Distance Commutes: With the right battery setup, you can enjoy long-distance rides without worrying about running out of power, and know you can still pedal the bike even if you do. Our battery capacity options are designed to provide ample battery life for your particular trips.
