Dual Drives Defined

Have you been considering a dual motor ebike build but weren't even sure where to start? We've recently added a whole section to our All-Axle conversion kits page where all the pieces for making dual motor retrofits can be ordered from a single place. 

This includes options for dual all-axle motors, dual left-right single side motors, and even dual motors combining a geared hub with a direct drive hub.  Have a look at this recent video explaining the rationale for various dual motor ebikes that happened to be in our shop, along with an updated explanation of the wiring hookup options for controlling both setups. 

We also filmed a step-by-step video showing a factory ebike upgrade into a dual motor platform to further illustrate the process. 

In this build we started with a fairly generic but underwhelming chinese cargo bike, kept the original rear geared motor and added a powerful front direct drive hub. Further upgrades included torque sensing control, regen braking, double the battery capacity and a larger and more personalized cargo box.

Talk about going from lemons to lemonade and the kids sure agreed!
