Kit - TerraTrike

This TerraTrike-specific E-BikeKit system converts compatible TerraTrike models into a smooth, efficient electric trike using a 500W internally geared rear hub motor and an optional 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery pack.

• Special configuration designed specifically for TerraTrike recumbent trikes
• Top speed up to approximately 26 mph
• Estimated 15–45 mile range depending on rider, terrain, and usage
• Supports pedal-assist and throttle-on-demand
• PAS sensor & magnet type selected from dropdown (varies by TerraTrike model)

Important Compatibility:

• NOT compatible with TerraTrike Rover
• NOT compatible with any TerraTrike using an internal geared hub
• NOT compatible with trikes using rear thru-axles

This 500–1000W geared motor uses a 5:1 planetary reduction and internal clutch for zero-drag pedaling. It offers higher efficiency, better hill-climbing ability, lighter weight, and a smaller profile than equivalent direct-drive motors—making it ideal for TerraTrike platforms.

Who’s it for? Riders who want top performance, efficiency, stealth, and responsive torque on compatible TerraTrike models. Recommended for total loads up to 300 lb (trike + rider + cargo).

TerraTrike-Specific Extras:

• PAS extension cable (depending on model & PAS selection)
• Locking parking-brake levers

Core Conversion Kit Components:

• USA hand-built 20″ rear wheel with 500W geared hub motor (disc-brake compatible)
• 48V compatible 22A 12FET controller
• Programmable LCD dashboard

This kit is compatible with many—but not all—TerraTrike models due to axle and drivetrain differences.

Not Compatible With:

• TerraTrike Rover
• Models using internal geared hubs (IGH rear hubs)
• TerraTrikes with rear thru-axles

General Compatibility Requirements:

• 135 mm rear dropout spacing
• Standard freewheel-ready rear hub configuration
• External-bearing or square-taper cranksets (PAS varies)

Contact us with the exact TerraTrike model and configuration for confirmation before installation.

This TerraTrike conversion system installs with common bicycle tools and includes all required hardware.

• Rear motor wheel installs into 135 mm dropouts
• Controller, LCD, and wiring use matched connectors
• PAS sensor type depends on dropdown selection and BB style
• Parking-lock brake levers replace stock levers
• Torque arms must be installed and axle nuts torqued properly
• Battery must be securely mounted using a suitable mount

Proper torque-arm installation, secure cable routing, and correct PAS placement are essential for safe, reliable operation.
