Set for electric bicycle: a review of popular models

Currently, there are enough electric bicycles on the market. But what about users who are attached to their favorite two-wheeled horse? In this case, a special kit for assembling an electric bike will come to the rescue. Let's look at popular models and prospects for using such devices.

Equipment

The kit for electric bike includes such mandatory components as:

• A motor built into the wheel;
• A battery that supplies the system with energy (charging can be done both during cycling and separately);
• The console, which allows you to specify the parameters of the motor-wheel.

The configuration of most popular systems is almost identical. Next, consider the features of the most popular sets for the conversion of conventional bikes into electric bicycles.

BionX

This is an extremely popular kit for electric bike. The power at the engine operation is regulated here by means of an increase in the decrease in the speed during the pedaling. There are separate models where the bushing is built into a 24 or 26 inch wheel. The battery can be installed both on the trunk, and be fixed on the frame of the bike.

The system is suitable for a measured ride in city conditions and long journeys on impassability, mountainous terrain. You can install the BionX kit on almost any bike model.

The cost of the system, depending on the model and the assembly, ranges from 1,700 to 2,500 cu.

Alien / Suzhou Bafang

The set differs by manual adjustment of engine power. The basis of the kit is the front motor-wheel. The console and battery are installed in the rear trunk area.

The subsequent reliability of the operation of such a kit largely depends on the quality of the wiring and connection of the functional elements of the system.

A set of Chinese products is relatively inexpensive. The price of the system on the domestic market varies from 900 to 1000 cu.

Currie Electro Drive

This is a fairly common kit, which operates due to the chain transmission, originally built into the rear engine wheel in the factory assembly. Excellent for mounting on mountain bikes, as well as two-wheeled transport used for cargo transportation. The cost of the budget system is about 600-650 USD.

Heinzmann

This kit for electric bike has an impressive safety margin. There is a choice of manual power adjustment or by pedaling. At the request of the user, a large motor-wheel can be used as a front or rear drive. The price of the set is about 2500 cu.

Advantages of installing an electric drive on a bicycle

What advantages can be obtained by deciding to install the electric bike kit for a standard two-wheeler vehicle? Here it is worth highlighting the following:

1. The owner of the bicycle continues to drive on the usual transport, adjusted for personal needs, but already equipped with an engine.
2. The kit for reworking an electric bike can be installed on any type of bike: mountain, collapsible, urban, highway and even three-wheeled.
3. When changing or selling a two-wheeled vehicle, the kit can be rearranged to a new vehicle.
4. The kit for electric bike is much cheaper compared to buying a ready-made motorized bike. The running characteristics of the converted models differ slightly from the characteristics of the factory vehicles.
5. Bicycles, which are driven by the installed kit, weigh fewer ready-made bikes with the engine.

Finally

Riding an electric bike leaves an inexpressible experience. When traveling on such a vehicle, the engine does not sound, there is no smell of fuel. The dimensions of the converted bicycle remain the same. Therefore, it can easily be put in its original place. And the rights to such a vehicle are not required.
