26inch Front Wheel Electric mountain Bike Electric Bike conversion
Kit 1500W -5000W
The wind rushes through your hair as you accelerate in silence past
ordinary bikers. The crisp smell of the mountain air is all you
think about as you use your new freedom bike to propel you to your
destination. No sweat No hills to worry about just plain old
fashioned fun! Bring a smile to your face with our 1500W gearless
electric mountain bike conversion kit! The 1500W kit is our entry
level kit, and in our opinion is the lowest power necessary for a
true performance e-bike with a direct drive gearless motor. This
1500W system offers great hill climbing performance with either
motor option, and is great fun! Unlike other lower power direct
drive kits on the market, this 1500W electric mountain bike
conversion kit will have enough power to take you up hills
confidently without ever worrying if you will have enough power to
make it to the top.
At the heart of this electric bike conversion kit is the custom HPC
air cooled brushless motor. New for 2019, this motor now features
an aluminum stator for better heat transfer and increased corrosion
resistance. Not only that, but we were able to put in even higher
grade laminations that allow for less cogging torque, easier
pedaling, and 3-4% higher peak efficiency over last years motors!
This gearless powerhouse of a motor also has extra robust 14mm
axles to handle offroad abuse. We offer both a high torque version
(Striker) and high speed version (Thunderbolt). See the table at
the bottom of this page to compare motor systems and power levels.
This is a complete kit and includes everything you need to convert
your bike into a fully functioning, high power e-bike!
Choosing a Power Package- Higher Wattage (W) means more power! The 1500W system utilizes a
52v battery system that can provide more than 2.5 hp and can handle
relatively steep grades. The 3000W and 4000W systems have over 4
and 5 hp respectively and the NEW 5000W system features a brand new
wider stator with 5mm wider neodymium magnets and stator can
deliver OVER 6.7 hp! ALL SYSTEMS ARE FOR OFFROAD USE ONLY ABOVE 750W! Please check your local laws and regulations. We can offer kits
well over 5,000W but you will have to call us to discuss your
specific build! Standard bike frames will not hold up past 5,000W!
Choosing a Battery- New batteries from HPC are a special Lithium based tri-metal blend
of Nickel Manganese and Cobalt or Li-NMC for short. These batteries
are 25% lighter than the outgoing LiFePo4 batteries and deliver
consistantly higher voltages across the voltage range which
translates into more speed and range. We employ custom HPC specific
moulds and mixtures of our prismatic pouch cells in the Standard
and HPC Elite NMC packs. These are proprietary performance cells
from HPC and we do sell to OEM customers as well. We can also build
ANY pack you can dream of using the latest Panasonic or Samsung
high drain 18650's- just ask! If you want to build a 200+ mile
range bike, it can be done, so let your imagination run wild! The
standard battery is 11Ah. Optional 12.5Ah battery adds about 15%.
The 13Ah HPC Elite pack provides our highest energy density battery
with the lowest internal resistance and voltage sag. It is the
ultimate battery for big power users.
Choosing a Charger- By default any battery system you purchase from us will come with
a 2A Charger. This means that if you have a 10Ah battery system it
will charge in about 5 hours. You can choose to upgrade to a 4A
charger which is twice as fast and will charge in half the time
(2.5 hours for a 10Ah pack). Finally the fastest charger we carry
is a 6 Amp Charger which can charge in about 1.6 hours (or 3x as
fast as the standard charger).
Choosing a Wheel Build- Choose the kit with the same size wheel as the bike you wish to
convert. If you have a 26" bike you would like to convert then
choose one of the 26" wheel options. Be sure to pick your
preference of an all silver or all black wheel and the size. All of
our wheel builds feature the best spokes (Sapim) you can find and
very sturdy double walled aluminum rims. All wheels are hand built
at our facility in Chatsworth, CA, and we use only Phil Wood
spokes, cold rolled and cut on our Phil Wood spoke machine. Our
wheel builders have 40+ years of combined wheel building
experience. PLEASE SPECIFY AT CHECKOUT IF YOU REQUIRE A V-BRAKE COMPATIBLE RIM!
Choosing a Throttle- This is totally up to the end user- It comes down to personal
preference do you prefer a motorcycle type twist grip throttle or a
thumb throttle? 95% of our bikes come with a twist throttle if your
shifters are thumb throttles
Choosing a Freewheel- Choose the number of speeds on your freewheel based on the number
of rear speeds on your bike. Most 21 speed bikes use a 7 speed
freewheel 24 speed bikes use an 8 speed 27 speed bikes use a 9
speed freewheel and 30 speed bikes use a 10 speed freewheel.
Choosing a Rack/Bag system-We also offer our exclusive Frame Bag battery system. The frame bag
allows a much more central weight balance These bags are hand made
in the USA with exceptional attention to detail and make for an
incredible ride! These new bags are waterproof, and fire retardant
with nomex IIIA and kevlar on the inside. The bags feature lockable
storage and hardshell sidewalls to protect from punctures. The huge
upside is the huge battery capacity- on a frame with good
clearance, a 100 mile range battery is possible!
If you prefer a bolt on rear rack, we can do that as well! A rear
rack and bag system is a no cost option.
New for 2017, we can also offer the hard case downtube battery like
the one featured on our own HPC eXplorer e-bike.
E-Bike Diagnostic Computer: The E-Bike Diagnostic computer is a very useful tool for your
electric bike and is highly recommended. It delivers vital
information about your electric kit at your fingertips such as:
speed, distance traveled, battery level, and Efficiency (measured
in Wh/mile). It also allows you to limit your power level to your
desired level so you can save battery. With this computer you have
the ability to make any kit street legal!
