EVIGORS - Convert any bike to an e-bike... 250 Watts of POWAH BABY!

evigors.com/ - High-end E-Bike conversion kits.
A first-look at the EVIGORS e-bike conversion kit. Easily convert any disc brake road bike (or gravel bike) into a pedal-assist e-bike with 250 watts of powah! The kit adds about 4kg to your bike, so my bike came in at 11kg all-in.

[@84imreplica]

I"m 72 years old and the hills aren't getting any easier, so I've been looking for a conversion kit for my Giant Defy Pro 0. This kit looks interesting.

[@siklistangpinoy3162]

get a mid drive torque sensing pedal assist like toseven DM02 or CYC photon. more powerful and feels natural than this crap

[@84imreplica]

@@siklistangpinoy3162 The main reason I'm considering a kit like this is it will work (I think) with a carbon framed bike. I like the Photon, and it would be my first choice, but I'm pretty sure the carbon frame couldn't handle the motor's torque/power. I also want to keep the weight as low as possible.

[@siklistangpinoy3162]

​@@84imreplica a lot of carbon frames already has been used on mid drives. 250w hub drive is not enough power to help you on the climb. You will just waste your money on that. Been there done that.

[@StayZero556]

I would like to see them offer one with 32h wheels and a 500w motor for the Clydesdales among us but if you’re a smaller rider 250w is plenty. Otherwise the whole kit looks pretty slick, especially the built-in torque sensor as that would make the bike feel more natural. Not having an external controller and rat’s nest of cables obviously keeps the bike looking tidy, that’s a big issue with other kits. I don’t even care about having an obvious battery mounted but I don’t want to deal with a bunch of messy cables.

EVIGORS are at Eurobike - Hall 9.0 booth F36

[@Carftymk]

are you there right now?

[@DaveCM]

I think it is pretty cool. I was checking out the website and you can tell they are still new. It shows a few models or options in the list, but only one works. I also saw that the hub can be ordered alone which would be nice to build up a different wheelset. It is only available in disc for now though. It peaked my interest but I would want to put it on a rim brake bike rather than my new disc braked bike. I do like it way better than the other manufacturers doing a similar thing. This is much more clean. I also like how it is in the rear wheel rather than the front like a Switch.

[@darrenelbrow5144]

Run a carbon gravel bike with a similar setup from FSA. Can get almost 90kms range from the battery (250Wh) on road tyres on road. But usually around 50km range off road. 43Nm of torque, but limited to 25kmh in the UK. I have a 2nd external battery the doubles the capacity and range

[@pascalj4331]

This is a very cool ebike category. Even at 12-13kg ebike, this would be portable. One of the reasons for commuting on a road bike. The big innovation is torque sensing motor that can fit a large casette in road dropout geometry

[@ChinaCycling]

Yeah, its very cool that the package is so self contained.

[@klein-concept]

Pretty dope. Think this will help some people get into cycling and climbing so they can enjoy longer rides from the start and at some point drop the battery once they build their strength.

[@kremleenmatthew4555]

Definitely some cool new tech here.. I gotta hit you up when I come over to Shanghai. Just got into cycling and haven't bought my first bike yet. Id like to get some pointers on how to get the best bang for my little bucks

[@nebulous962]

3:05 yeah that's also very much how i do my ebike wiring 😀but i do usually also add some nylon sleeve to make it look a bit nicer. 🙂

[@AlanJames]

Looks pretty cool. If they do it without the front wheel, and replace the head unit with ANT+ LEV capability, then it could be awesome.

[@nebulous962]

okay okay. finally something that is actually somewhat stealthy. i have heard so many people say that those bikes with like 10cm thick bottom tubes that houses the battery and motor is stealthy but atleast to me those look very much like ebike.

[@Rambomname]

Great idea!

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

250 W road bikes rule in the real world of motorized mobilization for sure.

[@buch0039]

Cool!

[@babyrabies]

can i put an extra front drive motor and another battery pack on the cage mount?

[@nebulous962]

3:43 i don't know if this brand offers this version but luggage rack battery with side panniers is also pretty stealthy.

[@CarsandBikes]

How much is it? Also, if you add the additional 2 batteries what would the total range be under full boost and how are the power supply wires arranged?

[@Carftymk]

would this not connect (wirelessly) to your usual head unit for control?

[@ChinaCycling]

That would be ideal, like previous high-end ebikes I've ridden. Using the Garmin to control resistance, check battery, etc....

[@tt113]

I just bought an e-bike myself. While I was researching, I wish there are Chinese options out there. When will this be available for purchase in the U.S.

[@ChinaCycling]

They're at Eurobike looking for distributors I guess...

[@tteitei]

Is there a rim brake version?

[@DaveCM]

I was just looking at their website. It doesn't look complete. There are two versions that are listed, but link to nothing. You can buy just the hub and buld up your own wheel, but they only have disc brake hub. Maybe that will change in the future. I guess they are pretty new. I would like to have it but I would rather put it on my old rim brake bike than my new disc brake bike.

[@tteitei]

@@DaveCM I was thinking the same but was also hoping for a lighter version. Something which topped out at 30klms to keep weight down. Ideally something which is a stripped down version with a smaller, lighter battery is what I a looking for.

[@rickeverett3304]

Check oit Geeko ebike kits

[@CrapKerouac]

I was just looking at a Bianchi e aria, strange coincidence. The Bianchi e aria has so many limitations. The motor only kicks in when you're climbing, and the 250W motor provides the rider with assistance up to 15.5 mph (24.94 km/h) lastly, 200 watts isn't enough. A bit more would be better.

[@Carftymk]

they are likely limited by law. i suspect they would be able to provide as much power as this one but had to be limited to be legally sold

[@CrapKerouac]

@@Carftymk I saw someone on KZbin made some alterations to the Bianchi. ;)

[@michaelnewman4302]

Why is there a front wheel?

[@ChinaCycling]

So that it looks like a pair...

[@jonphotos8631]

We need seka on Pp!!!

[@ChinaCycling]

🙃 I don't think they wanna play with us. Some reason about don't want to be associated with other low-level Chinese brands, and saying they're scared our customer service won't be good enough. RIP.

[@FT__Bicycling_____-sc7yv]

I think there is going to be a big market for (relatively or fully) hidden motor bikes in Asia. Specifically - for middle-age and older men. Guys in countries like China and Vietnam are egomaniacs and absolutely love to be able to show off like they are tough / rich / successful (even if they aren't - and even if it's quite obvious that they are faking they will still do it)

[@ChinaCycling]

Haha, you may be right..

[@reecedawson6113]

Looks like a less integrated mahle system

[@ChinaCycling]

Hopefully cheaper too ;)

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

I was thinking it would be great for my wife, but for 1900 euros I can get an entire e-bike. Not a road bike, but still...

[@nr619]

a chinese copy of mahle or other similar setup. nothing new there

[@CrapKerouac]

Half the price?
