Pre-laced into your chosen wheel. Silent. Maintenance-free. No oil changes. No service intervals. Just torque.

Speed

UK & EU road legal. The motor will take you there — the law decides the ceiling.

The Rolling Chassis
Wheel Sizes
20" · 26" · 27.5" · 700c / 28" / 29er

One kit. Four wheel sizes. While 700c, 28" and 29er are considered different sizes, they all use the same rim. Hence bundling them together.

Wheel Build
Double-Wall Alloy Rim

Reinforced spokes rated for the extra load a motor brings. Stronger than the stock wheel you're replacing.

Wiring & Integration
Cables
Colour-Coded Plug & Play

Sealed connectors for weatherproofing. Every connector is labelled and keyed so they only plug in one way. No sparks, no guesswork, no electrician.

The Control System
Pedal Assist
Cadence-Based PAS Sensor

Reads your pedal movement and fires the motor in real time. Smooth, natural, and completely invisible to anyone who doesn't know it's there.

LED Display
3-Level Backlit LED

Handlebar-mounted cockpit. Dial in PAS levels 1–3. Reads speed and battery status. Backlit for dawn starts and late finishes.

Controller
14A Max Current

The brain of the build. Compact, weatherproof, and tucked out of sight. Handles everything that happens between your input and the motor.

Controller Bag
Included with Frame Battery

Clean, secure mounting for the controller. Rack battery customers get it built into the battery housing — nothing extra needed.

Brake Compatibility
Disc + V-Brake

Works with both. No adapter needed. No bike left behind.

Every Kit Ships With

Everything Listed. Nothing Hidden.

Every single item above is included in every kit we ship — regardless of which drive type or wheel size you choose. There's no base model that needs upgrading. The only thing you add is your battery, picked during checkout. Want to go full throttle? That's optional — and worth it.

Optional Add-On

The Throttle Upgrade.

Thumb-type lever — gradual, intuitive, addictive. Press it gently for a nudge. Push it further for serious acceleration. No pedalling required. A solid backup if the PAS sensor won't fit your chainset, and honestly? Just more fun. This is how you get grins.

Will It Fit My Bike?

Forget make and model lookups — nobody memorises that stuff. Grab a ruler, check three things, and you'll know in two minutes flat.

01

Fork Dropout Spacing

Fork dropout spacing measurement showing 100mm between dropouts
100MM

Flip your bike upside down (or just eyeball the front fork). See those two slots at the bottom where your wheel axle sits? That's the dropout spacing. Yours needs to be 100mm — which is the standard on the vast majority of front forks out there.

100mm dropout spacing = you're golden.

How to measure: remove your front wheel, hold a ruler across the inside edges of both fork dropouts. If it reads 100mm (or very close), you're good to go.

02

Dropout Opening Width

10mm

Now look at the dropout slot itself — the opening where the axle slides in. Our motor axle is 10mm. Most front dropouts are already 10mm, so chances are you're sorted.

Got 9mm dropouts? No drama. If your forks are steel, you can file each side down by 0.5mm. Quick job, done in minutes.

Not sure if your forks are steel? Stick a magnet to them. If it sticks, they're steel — file away. If it doesn't (aluminium or carbon), don't file. Talk to a bike shop instead.

03

Pedal Assist Sensor (PAS)

This is the clever bit. The PAS sensor clips around your bottom bracket — the spindle that your pedal cranks attach to. It reads how fast you're pedalling and tells the motor to kick in. Smooth, natural, borderline addictive.

Pedal Assist Sensor installed on a square taper bottom bracket

What You Need: Square Taper Bottom Bracket

The PAS ring slides onto the spindle and sits behind the left crank arm. You need a square taper BB with enough spindle poking out (5mm minimum) for the sensor ring to sit. This is the most common BB type on non-premium bikes — you've probably already got one.

Correct square taper bottom bracket with exposed spindle

Square Taper BB

Fits

Exposed square spindle, crank arms bolt on. This is the one. Dead simple, dead common, dead compatible.

Hollowtech II bottom bracket — not directly compatible with PAS

Hollowtech / Press-Fit BB

Won't Fit

Integrated spindle, no exposed taper. Found on premium and modern groupsets. The PAS ring won't fit as-is. See options below.

Wrong bottom bracket? You've still got options.

Option A: Skip the PAS entirely and ride with a Throttle instead. Thumb-press and go — no pedalling needed. You can add one to your kit from the configurator above. Some riders actually prefer it.

Option B: Any bike shop can swap a Hollowtech or press-fit BB for a square taper unit if you absolutely want to use PAS. It's a standard job.

FAQ

We've Got
Answers.

The 250W kits are capped at 15.5mph — the UK/EU road legal limit. If you'd like to go faster off-road, check out our 1000W rear drive kit. Your ride, your rules.

Depends on battery size, your weight, terrain, and assist level. On the lowest PAS setting, the 698Wh battery has achieved over 100 miles between charges (yes, really — see our reviews). On level 2–3 expect around 60 miles.

Up to 1,000 full charge cycles with proper care. Charge it regularly, don't leave it fully discharged for long periods, and store it somewhere dry. Treat it right and it'll last years.

Yes. All rack and frame batteries are fully removable. Unclip it, take it indoors, plug it in. No need to drag your bike to the socket.

Yes — our kits are compatible with both disc brakes and V-brakes. Whatever your current setup, you're covered.

Yes. Fitted correctly, the whole system is water resistant. Ride in any weather. Just don't blast it with a pressure washer.
