What's Inside Your Kit

This isn't a commuter kit. This is 1000 watts of raw, unfiltered power bolted to your rear wheel. Here's what you're unleashing.

Rear Drive 1000W Hub Motor

1000W. No Apologies.

Direct-drive rear hub. No gears, no moving parts, nothing to wear out. Just a wall of torque that eats hills alive and keeps pushing long after lesser motors quit. Built for off-roading — because the road can't handle it.

Wheel Build
Reinforced Double-Wall Alloy Rim

Heavy-duty spokes rated for the torque a 1000W direct-drive produces. Built to take punishment.

Wiring & Integration

Pedal Assist
Cadence-Based PAS Sensor

Five levels of assist. Use it for range and stealth, or switch to throttle when you want full power on demand.

LCD Display
5-Level Backlit LCD

Handlebar-mounted cockpit. Speed, distance, battery, PAS level. Also where you de-restrict the top speed.

Controller
30A Max Current

High-current controller built for the 1000W motor. Weatherproof sealed connectors. Handles serious load without breaking a sweat.

Throttle
Thumb Throttle

Optional add-on. Full power on demand, no pedalling required.

Brake Compatibility
Disc + V-Brake

Works with both. At these speeds, disc brakes are strongly recommended.

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.

Compatibility

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

Rear Dropout Spacing

Rear dropout measurements showing 135mm spacing and 10mm slot width

See where your rear wheel slots into the frame? Those two forged ends are your dropouts — and two measurements need to match: 135mm between them, and a 10mm wide slot for the motor axle. Both are standard on almost every bike out there.

135mm spacing + 10mm slot = you're good to go.

How to measure: remove your rear wheel and hold a ruler across the inside faces of both dropouts. 135mm between them, 10mm slot. Standard geometry means you're almost certainly sorted.

02

Cassette or Freewheel?

Cassette vs Freewheel — only freewheel is compatible with the rear hub motor

Our rear hub slots onto a freewheel — and if yours has a cassette instead, no sweat. Just add a compatible freewheel to your order and you're good to go. Most standard bikes already run a freewheel anyway, so there's a good chance you're already sorted.

Not sure which one you've got? Search "cassette vs freewheel" on YouTube — you'll know in 60 seconds.

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.

Up to 30mph when de-restricted via the LCD display. It is restricted to 15.5mph out of the box.

Depends on battery size, your weight, terrain, assist level, and whether you're pushing it to the max on de-restricted mode. On the lowest PAS setting, the 768Wh battery can achieves up to 60 miles. But something tells us you won't pick this 1000W beast to conserve power.

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 our 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.

Yes. It's heavier than our 250W kits — that's the trade-off for 1000W of direct-drive torque. Powered up, you won't feel it. The motor eats the weight for breakfast. It's only a concern if you're planning long unpowered rides.

12 months from date of delivery for the original owner. Motor, controller, display, battery — all covered.
