The kit's main component is the motor, built directly into the centre of the front or rear wheel hub, you choose the wheel size. When you pedal or use a throttle (if included), the motor spins the wheel, providing electric assistance. Most kits also include a battery, controller, pedelec sensor, display unit, possible a throttle and brake cutout sensors, and all necessary wiring. Hub motors are known for their simplicity and ease of use. They work independently of your bike's drivetrain, which means less wear on your chain and gears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs it difficult to install an electric hub motor kit on my bike?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling an electric hub motor kit can be easier than fitting a mid-drive system (especially if no disc brakes), making it a popular choice for DIY e-bike enthusiasts in Australia. The process involves replacing one of your bike's wheels with the motorised hub wheel, mounting the battery (usually on the frame or rear rack), installing the controller and controls, and connecting the wiring. Most kits come with detailed instructions, and plenty of online tutorials are available. If you're comfortable with basic bike maintenance and have a few common bike tools, you should be able to complete the installation in a few hours. Specialist Tool kits are available to purchase with our kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I choose between a front and rear hub motor kit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing between a front and rear hub motor kit depends on your bike's design and riding preferences. Front hub motors are often easier to install as they don't interfere with the rear gears or chain. They provide a pulling sensation and can improve traction on loose surfaces by being two wheel drive. However, they can affect steering on some bike designs. Rear hub motors are more common and provide a pushing feel that many riders find more natural. They work well with the bike's weight distribution, especially when climbing hills. Rear motors are also less noticeable hiding behind the gear cluster, giving your e-bike a more traditional look. However, they can be more complicated to install, especially if your bike has disc brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat range and performance can I expect from a bicycle hub motor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range and performance of a bicycle hub motor depend on several factors, including the motor's power, battery capacity, terrain, rider weight and level of pedal assistance used. In Australia, legal road-going e-bikes are limited to 250W of continuous power, which typically assists up to 25km\/h. With a standard battery (usually around 400-500Wh), you can expect a range of 40-80km on a single charge under normal conditions. Hub motors excel at providing smooth, consistent power on flat terrain and are generally efficient for commuting.

They're quiet, clean and require minimal maintenance. You'll find them in three main types: hub motors built into the wheel, mid-drive motors at the pedal crank, and friction motors that contact the tyre. In contrast, a regular bike engine typically refers to a petrol-powered motor, which is louder, requires fuel and needs more upkeep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I choose the suitable electric bike motor for my needs?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA front or rear hub motor might be ideal if you're after a simple, low-maintenance option for flat city riding. These are common on many ready-made e-bikes and conversion kits. For hilly terrain or off-road use, a mid-drive motor is often better as it leverages your bike's gears for more efficient climbing. Consider the motor's power - remember, for road-legal use in Australia, it must not exceed 250W of continuous rated power. Also, think about torque, which affects how well the motor handles hills and acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I increase the power of my electric bike motor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it's technically possible to increase the power of an e-bike motor, it's important to note that in Australia, e-bikes used on public roads must not exceed 250W of continuous rated power. Increasing power beyond this limit would make your e-bike illegal for road use. Some enthusiasts modify their motors for more power for off-road use only, but this can void warranties and potentially damage the motor or other bike components if not done correctly. If you find your current motor underpowered, it's usually better to consider upgrading to a different motor that suits your needs while staying within legal limits. Or building an e-bike using a higher power conversion kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow long do electric bike motors typically last?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, a good quality e-bike motor can last anywhere from 3 to 10 years or more. Many manufacturers rate their motors for around 10,000 to 20,000 kilometres of use. Being simpler, Hub motors often last longer than mid-drive motors with more moving parts. Regular maintenance, such as keeping the motor clean and dry, can significantly extend its life. The motor's longevity is also affected by how you use your e-bike. It's worth noting that while the motor itself may last many years, you might need to replace the battery earlier, as batteries typically have a shorter lifespan of 3-5 years, depending on usage and storage conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2023-09-26T10:50:59+10:00","alt":null,"width":1024,"height":683,"src":"\/\/rev-bikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/250w-mid-drive-motor-kit-with-rack-battery-8funrack.jpg?v=1695689460"}}]

The 'planetary (nylon) geared' motor is totally freewheeling, meaning there is no resistance to the normal rolling motion of the wheel. The bike will retain all its gears, so you can ride it as normal on the flat, and turn on/up the pedal assistance for the hills.
Our wheels are built using durable double-wall rims and thicker 12G spokes, to withstand the extra weight and torque of the motor. The motor casing also includes holes to attach a disc brake rotor, if you bike has discs. All common wheel sizes are available to choose from.
This quality motorised wheel is matched with a compact 14amp controller, the brains of the system, positioned between the battery and the motor. All cables come to this hub, and are designed to be appropriate lengths for the average bike. We supply a bag which can be mounted in various locations, usually in the top rear triangle of the bike frame, or under the seat. Rack batteries include a handy cavity to mount the controller in, keeping things neater.
The Kit includes options for the type of Display, Pedelec sensor, Brake Cutout sensor, and optional Throttle (must be limited to 6km/h if you wish to remain road-legal. which can be done from the display).
We offer an Extended Warranty when we install the system, then giving 2 year warranty on products, and lifetime on the installation (providing we undertake the free annual safety checks).
We are so sure you won't be disappointed, we are happy to offer you a 7 day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on this kit.. Love it, or you'll get your money back!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are 250W hub motors so common in Australia and what are their benefits?
The 250W hub motor is Australia's standard for road-legal e-bikes, which explains its popularity. This power rating balances providing helpful assistance and maintaining bicycle-like characteristics as required by law. A 250W hub motor offers several benefits for Aussie riders. It provides enough power to flatten hills and headwinds, making commutes easier without feeling overpowered. These motors are generally lightweight and compact, preserving your bike's handling and making it easier to transport or store. They're also energy-efficient, offering a range from a single battery charge.
How does the performance of a 250W hub motor kit compare to a regular bike?
A 250W hub motor kit transforms your cycling experience compared to a regular bike while still maintaining a familiar feel. When engaged, the motor provides a noticeable boost, making it easier to maintain higher speeds with less effort. You'll find hills become much more manageable - what was once a challenging climb might feel like a gentle incline. Headwinds can be a real hassle on a standard bike and become far less problematic. In stop-start traffic, common in Australian cities, the motor helps you accelerate quickly and maintain pace with urban traffic flow.
What should I look for when choosing a 250W hub motor kit for my bike?
First, decide between a front or rear hub motor - the rear is more common and often preferred for better weight distribution, but the front can be easier to install. Check the wheel size to ensure compatibility with your bike frame. Look at the battery capacity - a larger capacity means more range but adds weight. Consider the riding you'll do - if you face many hills, look for a motor with good torque ratings. The control system is essential, too - some kits offer pedal assist only, while others include a throttle option. Also, check for weatherproofing if you plan to ride in all conditions.
How difficult is it to maintain a bike with a 250W hub motor kit and what regular care does it need?
Maintaining a bike with a 250W hub motor kit is generally straightforward and often more accessible than caring for more complex mid-drive systems. The motor is sealed and requires little maintenance beyond keeping it clean and dry. Regular care involves checking the motor's mounting bolts to ensure they're tight, as vibration can loosen them over time. The electrical connections should be inspected periodically for any signs of wear or corrosion, especially if you ride in wet conditions. The battery needs proper care - store it in a cool, dry place and avoid letting it fully discharge. Tyre pressure becomes more critical with the added weight and power, so check it regularly.
