Ebike Parts Explained

Here we give a brief summary of the key components that make up an ebike conversion and the role that they play. Some things like motors and batteries are probably familiar to everyone, while motor controllers, PAS sensors, etc. are less familiar but important to know about.

Why Hub Motors

Hub motor vs mid-drive: why we build hub motor kits for everyday commuting, plus where mid-drives like the Bafang BBSHD win (offroad and fatbike sand or snow).

Kits Vs Turnkey

Ebike conversion kit vs a turnkey e-bike — the trade-offs in cost, fit, power and repairability, and why converting your own bike often wins. Grin explains.

Bike Compatibility

This section goes over most of the things you would want to check to see what hub motors options would be compatible with a given bicycle frame. While we have hub motor options that will work with virtually any bike frame you throw at us, some knowledge is required to figure out what those options are.
