E-BikeKit Rear 500w Direct Drive Hub Motor Conversion Kit with 48v Li-ion Battery Pack and Charger.

This premium electric bike conversion kit system is for riders that require the increased durability of a direct drive motor for heavier loads and the long term reliability of a lithium battery. The direct drive hub motor used in this conversion kit system is for heavier applications and a MUST for any total load (bike rider cargo) of 300 lbs or more. This system pairs the heavy-duty motor with a 48v battery pack for increased torque and a 20 mph top speed.

Direct drive motors are strong, durable, and long-lasting due to zero internal friction. Some lower quality or larger direct drive motors have resistance, but that should not be a concern with this E-BikeKit direct drive hub motor.

Freewheel Choice and OLD Spacing: Our motors are intended for a 7-speed freewheel and provide 135mm OLD (dropout) spacing with a 7-speed freewheel and 15mm disc offset.

When using an 8, 9, or 10-speed freewheel, this will increase the OLD by about 3.5mm per speed. When we assemble the motor here, we will dish and space it correctly to fit this. To install the wider wheel, you may need to spread the dropouts of the bike open in order to fit.

If you are not using disc brakes, so don't need the 15mm disc-offset, we can reconfigure the spacing to fit 135mm in many cases.
