Component Features of an Electric Bike
Your electric bike conversion kit consists of a hub motor, throttle type, key switch, battery and appropriate wheel size. The conversion equipment can be correctly described as a motor mounted on the wheel with a thumb throttle and a controller unit. The wheel size plays an important role. The battery should have an effective charger with a bike rack.
The throttle is pressed in order to maximize power and increase the speed. It is recommended that the electric bike should be first pedaled before applying force to the throttle. The throttle is a variable speed device with a light emitting diode along with a battery full or empty display. The red light of the LED indicates that the battery is full. The controller unit is the brain of the electric bike. It has the key switch. It is the current regulator unit. The controller unit is also called the speed control unit. The hub motor is a gearless motor and it can generate up to 600 watts for an average electric conversion kit. It can be either brushed or brushless.
There are separate conversions for the front wheel and the rear wheel. The front wheel size should around twenty six inches. The best batteries are the lead acid gel batteries only. Your conversion kit would weigh around 36 – 55 lbs which is convenient to manage. The conversion kit is a low cost option with excellent results. You can reduce the battery weight by buying a light battery with more efficient charger.
