The Front Fat All-Axle motor is available in 2 different winding speeds; a slow 7.2 rpm/V option and a standard 9 rpm/V model. If sustained torque is the main objective, then we recommend the slower motor winding and a 52V or higher battery pack since the maximum phase current of the Baserunner/Phaserunner motor controllers will otherwise be the limiting factor in how much power you get.

There are axle adapter sets for conventional 135mm slotted dropouts and for 15x150mm thru-axle dropouts commonly used with fabike frames. The motor can also be mounted single sided by people with their own fabrication tools using a 16mm steel axle and the DIY SS torque arm.

You can get a bare hub and lace it into a suitable 32 hole rim yourself, or choose to get a professional wheel build done here at Grin using our stock rim selections and quality Sapim butted spokes.  Our head wheel builder Robert has decades of experience and is renowned for building wheels that are nearly bombproof. 

If you want Grin to do the wheelbuild, be sure to select either the Silver or Black spoke option from the dropdown menu, along with your preferred rim. By default all wheels will be be dished with the rim dead center between the dropouts, if you require some special dishing offset for an oddball frame please mention that in the order comments.

If you are doing your own wheel build into your own rim, be sure to specify the required spoke length in the order comments to match your selected rim ERD and lacing pattern. If you require a wider rim than the ones we carry, you're welcome to source your own 32 hole fatbike rim and send it to us for your wheel build. Please get in touch with us to get an RMA # for the rim shipment.


The Baserunner controller is ideal if you are getting a downtube battery as we will mount it inside the battery cradle.  The larger Phaserunner is required if you need an option that can run up to 72V, or if you are using one of the other battery models. It will also produce slightly higher peak torque due to the 90A vs 80A max phase current.

The Barebones kit includes a throttle with a built-in voltage display and on/off switch. The twist throttle option also includes two additional cables, a DC jack for powering a front light and a 4pin JST plug for hooking up an ebrake cutoff lever.
The ebrake cutoff in this sytem overrides the throttle and sends out 0.4V to the motor controller's throttle input, which with default controller settings will command about 50% of maximum regen. There is no way to proportionally modulate the regen braking capabilities in the Barebones kit system. For that functionality a CA3 kit is required instead.

The kit will run with any battery pack from 24V to 52V nominal (and up to 72V with a Phaserunner).
We offer a range of batteries that will work well depending on the geometry of your bike, the range you need on a charge, and how fast you want to go.  Please see our battery info page for more details on the different pack options.  
Be sure to select a charger model that matches the voltage (36V, 48V, or 52V) and connector style (ST3 or XLR) of the chosen pack.  


There are a number of optional electronic and mechanical accessories that can help flush out the build. This includes front and rear bike lights, phone chargers, wire management, programming cables, and what have you.

Grin's Max45 All-Axle front hub motor kit has 66% more torque and power capability than our regular All-Axle motor and is compatible with most fatbike forks. The Barebones kit uses a simple all-in-one throttle with voltage readout and no fancy display or option for torque sensors.  

The throttle also includes two extra wires for running a front bike light and hooking up an ebrake sensor.  The ebrake levers provide a fixed level of regenerative braking which is OK, but not quite as nice as the varying proportional regen that is possible with a V3 Cycle Analyst or Superharness kit system.

  • Motor is compatible with both 135mm quick release and 150mm thru-axle forks using appropriate adapter set. 
  • Powerful 45mm wide motor stator but weighs just 6.0 kg.
  • Statorade injection port for maximum cooloing option.
  • L10 connector with internal thermistor
