FAQ: EVBike Kits - which to choose? How to install the rear one?

Question: I want to get the EVBike conversion kit. Which type of the kit do you suggest: the front or the rear wheel?

Answer: we sell both types of kits. We do not prefer any type of the kit. The customer must decide which EVBike kit to choose. 

See some guide lines for the rear wheel drive kit: Even though rear wheel drive conversion may seem more complex and not that easy to install as a front wheel drive, it has these advantages:

• The rear fork is stronger (this is a must for high power projects)
• The disc brake fits more probably
• The “motorbike” design and feel

See above the picture with a nine speed freewheel.  (The motor is the same dimensions as the EVBike 500W motor). You may need to use a washer to make a bigger distance between freewheel and motor (in case the chain interferes with the motor). Another washer might be needed for the other side of the free-wheel (in case the chain interferes with rear fork). These washers may widen the standard dropout of 135mm a bit.  However it is not a problem in most cases.

Question: Do you sell the 7 gears free-wheel cassette?

Answer: We do not sell the free-wheel spare parts any more. Customers prefer various brand types and sizes of the free-wheels: 6, 7, 8, 9. It is easier you can buy such a free-wheel according to your wish in your local bicycle shops.  

Note: please note that you must use a freewheel with the thread, not the cassette type! (see details here)
