E-BikeKit Front 500W Geared Hub Motor Conversion System with 48V Lithium-Ion Battery Pack and 3A Charger.

The 500–1000W E-BikeKit geared hub motor uses an internal 5:1 planetary reduction with a clutch, allowing zero-drag pedaling when unassisted. Geared motors are more efficient for start/stop riding, deliver stronger initial torque, climb hills more effectively, and are lighter and smaller than comparable direct-drive systems.

Who’s it for? Riders who want the best combination of performance, efficiency, stealth, and light weight in a front-wheel electric system. Top speed is approximately 26 mph. Recommended for total loads up to 300 lb (bike + rider + cargo).
