Flat Baserunner Mounting Plate

This simple aluminum plate with flanges allows any of our Baserunner controllers to be mounted on any flat surface. Works well especially for our Baserunner Stand Alone where all cables are from one end. Great when you are not using your Baserunner with a downtube battery. Comes with screws to attach your Baserunner to the plate. Alternatively, consider a Baserunner TubeMount.

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.


Thumb Throttle with Voltage Readout

Thumb Throttle with Integrated On/Off Power Switch and Voltage Indicator. Connects to Main9 Connector of Baserunner or Phaserunner Controllers for Systems with No Cycle Analyst or Display. NOTE: This DOES NOT have Brake or DC Output cables.

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. 


4 Pieces of Snap Together Black Plastic Cable Raceway, 15 and 20mm Wide, 50cm long. Self Adhesive Tap Bonds to Bicycle Tube, Perfect for Hiding Cable Runs.

This is bundle system for putting together a DIY electric wheelbarrow or cart. The CNC'd mounting brackets can attach to most wheelbarrows with a wooden handle. The rest of the components are currently based on our ebike hardware and are not especially optimized for wheelbarrow installations, but can be made to work just fine.  

The All-In-One throttle gives a simple voltage readout of the battery pack and allows you to modulate from zero to full power. There is also an option for hooking up an ebrake cutoff and add a disk brake to the setup, giving both electronic regen braking and mechanical brakes too.

This kit can be powered from any 24V or 36V battery pack. We are working to produce holders for series connecting popular 18V powertool batteries like Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee, and Dewalt as well but are not ready to release these yet.
