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 may struggle a bit on very steep hills compared to mid-drive motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","image":{"created_at":"2023-09-26T10:51:03+10:00","alt":null,"width":575,"height":544,"src":"\/\/rev-bikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/500w_wheel.jpg?v=1695689463"}},{"id":462935195952,"handle":"kits","updated_at":"2024-11-25T12:50:12+11:00","published_at":"2023-09-26T10:50:56+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Kits","body_html":"\u003ch2\u003eElectric Bike Motor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt REV Bikes, we are passionate about providing the highest quality electric bike motor solutions to transform your cycling experience.

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"}},{"id":462935261488,"handle":"mid-drive-kits","updated_at":"2024-11-25T12:50:12+11:00","published_at":"2023-09-26T10:51:04+10:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","published_scope":"web","title":"Mid-Drive Kits","body_html":"\u003ch2\u003eMid Drive Electric Bike Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt REV Bikes, we are dedicated to delivering top-tier electric bike conversion solutions, and our mid-drive electric bike kits are no exception.

The motors are compatible with a wide range of bikes, from carbon mountain bikes to hybrid commuters and cargo bikes, making them a versatile option for riders who want to enjoy the benefits of electric power without buying a new bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a range of both torque-sensing mid-drive conversion kits (meaning the motor gives you more power when you push harder on the pedals, and backs off when you back off, regardless of the level of assist you choose), and Cadence-sensing mid-drive kits too (the motor does not vary if your pedal pressure changes, it just varies as you adjust the level of assist).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cadence-sensing BAFANG Mid Drive Kit (with 250w to 1000w motor options) is equipped with a powerful motor that delivers up to 120Nm of torque, making it perfect for climbing steep inclines and tackling off-road trails. With its mid-drive design, the motor takes full advantage of your bike's gears, offering more efficient power usage and extending your ride range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row faq_content faqsection\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat's unique about a mid-drive electric bike kit compared to other types?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mid-drive electric bike kit is unique because it places the motor at the bike's centre, near the pedals. This central position offers several advantages. It provides a more natural riding feel, as the motor's power is applied through the bike's gears, just like your pedalling. This makes mid-drive systems particularly effective on hills and varied terrain. They also keep the bike's weight centralised, which improves handling and balance. Mid-drive kits with torque-sensing power delivery, like the new CYC models, are popular for their efficiency - they only enhance what the rider is doing in terms of effort, resulting in longer range per charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I know if a BAFANG mid-drive kit will fit my bike?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, check your bike's bottom bracket - the part where the pedal cranks attach. BAFANG kits typically fit standard 68-73mm bottom bracket shells, unless you order a longer axle model or an adapter. You'll also need to ensure your frame has enough clearance around the bottom bracket area to accommodate the motor. Chain line is another consideration, wide chainstays can be problematic for motor and chainring clearance. It's also worth checking the kit's wattage - remember, for road use in Australia, you're limited to 250W of continuous power. If you're unsure, send us a picture of your bike and we can try to advise, or visit your local Installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat maintenance does a crank drive motor (mid-drive) require?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular checks should include ensuring all mounting bolts are tight, as the motor's torque can cause loosening over time. The chainring and chain will wear faster than regular bikes, so they'll need more frequent replacement. Keeping the motor clean and dry is crucial, especially after riding in wet or muddy conditions. Some models have a port for adding grease to internal gears - check your manual for specific instructions. We recommend a motor service and grease change every 4000kms or so. While the motor is usually sealed and low-maintenance, the sensors and connections should be kept clean and checked periodically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n \u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the power delivery of a mid-drive conversion kit compare to a hub motor?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMid-drive motors apply power through the bike's chain and gears, which is more technical to use, but allows for more nuanced and efficient power use. You'll notice this especially when climbing hills - a mid-drive motor can gear down to increase torque (while dropping speed), where a hub motor only has the one gear ratio to work with. The mid-drive's central position also provides a more balanced feel, particularly when cornering or on rough terrain. Hub motors, in contrast, provide power directly to the wheel, which can feel more like a \"push\" or \"pull\". But hub motors tend to maintain a more consistent speed across different terrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","image":{"created_at":"2023-09-26T10:51:07+10:00","alt":null,"width":1024,"height":648,"src":"\/\/rev-bikes.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Bafang-motor.jpg?v=1695689467"}}]
