Takes you up hills! This electric bike kit includes everything you will need to add electric power to your bike in minutes. Unlike other more complex electric bike kits that can take hours or days to install and require expert electrical and mechanical skills, this one is easy.

In your electric bike kit:

• Full wheel (tube, tire, and rim) with 250-watt 24-volt brushless planetary hub motor
• Single-plug 8Ah Standard SLA (8.5Ah Lithium) battery/controller system (only 11-lbs total standard, 6-lbs lithium) pre-installed in a sleek quick-attach seat bag (6x6x4.5'' standard, 3x5x8" lithium)
• Quick-install velcro Power Grip handlebar motor controller
• Battery charger (smart/auto shutoff) for U.S./International 110-240v, 50-60hz wall sockets or extension cords

Why a 250-watt hub motor?

The bigger your hub motor, the more batteries you must haul around. The motor in your Hill Topper electric bike kit will easily "triple your strength" when turned on, but is small enough to only require lightweight batteries. Even if you don't pedal at all, this motor/battery combo can take you 10 miles (20 miles with lithium battery) depending on rider weight, wind, and hill steepness, at about 15mph.

If you want to go 50mph and have a 500 or 1,000-watt monster motor on your electric bike you'll need big expensive, heavy batteries. If you want to maintain the ease with which you currently use your own bike and just add electric power without adding a ton of weight, you need a smaller high-efficiency hub motor like this electric bike kit has.

Why a Quick-Install Power Grip Handlebar Control?

GO easy! Your handlebars and brakes are unique and tuned perfectly to your riding style. Other electric bike conversion kits require you to completely replace and re-adjust your brake cable and handle grip system in order to operate their features.

Be careful not to bite off more of an installation project than you can chew. You may be disappointed with how difficult other electric bike kits are to work with. Also remember, many bike shops will charge top-dollar for their labor (maybe a half-day) if you ask them to install a complex kit for you. Keep in mind a bike shop worker or handy friend could install this Clean Republic electric bike kit in just minutes (probably a $25 labor cost), but may even refuse to install a complex one.

There's a good reason you don't see videos of competing electric bike kits being fully installed in minutes in real time with no editing.

Bike compatibility

This hub motor fits hybrid and mountain bike forks that are 100mm apart at the tips. The "dropout" notches at the ends of your forks need to be at least 10mm wide to fit the motor/wheel axle.

This electric bike kit is designed, assembled, and tested in Seattle, USA.
