New year kickoff, Magnets and Motors are Back

Magnet Supply

Happy 2026 to all our customers and general ebike fans.  Last week was a cause for great celebration at Grin as we FINALLY received a large magnet shipment that lets us keep making motors again.  We won't comment on the rare earth geopolitics that disrupted the global magnet supply last year, other than to say we'll do our best to better navigate this to avoid future disruptions.  

We'll be hard at work making and fulfilling all the back-ordered All-Axle motors from the past few months, thanks for everyone's patience with that, and have removed the out-of-stock notice for new orders.  

Santana Tandem Kit

This also makes a great time to release the video showing an All-Axle hub motor installation on a Santana Tandem bicycle that we purchased.  Santana make some of the finest tandem bikes you can buy, and electrified with a Grin kit and LiGo batteries you get a travel touring package like nothing else out there. 

To simplify the process for other Santana owners doing the same build, we've made a dedicated Santana Kit Bundle that has all the itens in the video.

Website Improvements

Frequent visitors to ebikes.ca will have noticed changes to our website over the holidays, with a new menu organization and much faster page loads while browsing. We've also substantially changed how the conversion kits are listed in a way that we hope makes it simplier to find what you want, with more enhancements on the way.
