Overview
This Baja-specific conversion system transforms the Sun Baja trike into an electric-powered fat-tire trike using a robust 500 W direct-drive hub motor and 48 V 15Ah lithium-ion battery pack.
- Special parts designed for the Baja trike platform
- 20-24 mph top speed (at 48V)*
- Estimated 15–45 mile range depending on rider, terrain, and usage
- Supports both pedal-assist and throttle-on-demand
The direct-drive motor is built for high durability, strong torque at low speeds (ideal for trike stability), and minimal drag when pedaling un-assisted. This system is optimized for heavy loads and dynamic terrains.
Who’s it for? Riders who want a powerful, all-terrain fat-tire trike build with real versatility. Designed for total system loads up to 300 lb (trike + rider + cargo).

Compatibility
This conversion is designed specifically for the Sun Baja trike platform.
- Designed for 24″ fat-tire wheel and 135 mm fork spacing (front or rear, as configured)
- Optimized for torque-rich off-road and beach sand performance
- Total system loads should be within ~300 lb
Fitment may require axle spacing adjustments or minor hardware if the trike has non-standard setup or aftermarket modifications.
Installation
This Baja kit installs using common tools and includes all necessary hardware for most stock Sun Baja trikes.
- 24″ fat-tire motor wheel replaces the stock wheel (ensure correct spacing)
- Controller, LCD display, wiring harness use matched connectors
- PAS sensor mounts at the crank (left-side standard; right-side available on request)
- Locking e-brake levers included for motor cut-off integration
- Torque arms must be installed and axle nuts properly torqued
- Secure and proper battery mount is crucial for stability and performance
Cable routing, torque-arm installation, and physical mounting of all components are essential for safe and reliable operation.
