Great looking product. Will need a couple years of competition to bring the price down. A bolt on motor like this at about $500 would be the game changer. At $2750 not many will want to convert and just buy a decent ebike instead.

For about a thousand dollars a friend of mine converted his fat tire bike into a monster machine. I was almost terrified riding it at 49 mph, that was as fast as I dared to go. He even has a pouch with a fan and intake and exhaust ports to keep the battery cool during the summer heat. Essentially, 3,000 dollars is way too much for a conversion.

[@c2thew]

Was all psyched for the idea of this until i saw the price tag: $2,750. That’s almost the cost of a surron which includes the bike instead of having to mod your own. Yeah there’s a weight difference but you get a pre-built kit vs a DIY

I payed $4500 for my e-bike, including a very good bike and battery.... I would never consider this, not to mention that the motor is to powerful and it would have to be registered as a motorbike in Norway. That makes it useless as a MTB as motorbikes are not allowed to go off-road expect on approved tracks (very few around, and not made for MTBs)... For modifying a bike to a daily commuter motorbike on the other hand, this could be a good product.

[@telocity]

Well I paid $1600 for a radwagon electric and the amount I've saved on fuel cost, insurance, repair costs and registration has paid for the bike already in less than a year. Only issues I have are the same with all bikes, regular and electric. To much maintenance: tighten the spokes, true the wheel, adjust the brakes, fix the tires. Why? because everything is built from "make it lighter" thinking. So spokes are to light, brakes wear out way to fast, tires are to thin. But in spite of that, I'm not going back to driving a car unless absolutely necessary, because biking is the best way to travel.

Based on what I'm seeing and the lack of pricing info on the website, I believe I'll stick to the BBSHD that I originally planned on for my upcoming eBike project, it's not that much heavier, it seems to have more torque, it tops out much faster, and you have a full infographic display of your choice that tells you how fast you're going, how much power it's using, what assist mode it's in, and more, among other things. A speedo is required by law for street eBiking as well, so that's a must given that I plan to use it for that purpose as well as trail and path riding. Overall, even the installation procedure for the BBSHD makes more sense to me than the whole "choose your hole" process that the dude had to explain, you stick it in, put the torque plate on, put lock nut on, position and tighten, put top nut on, reassemble crank arms, done.

@@muzzaball That is... *very* expensive compared to other DIY eBike kits, of both hub- and mid-drive type.

I think I'm happy with my 500W hubkit, whole thing, battery included, cost about $925 after shipping, and it gets me around town as well as down biking trails, even has enough power to lose grip and kick out on me if I touch it wrong, which has thrown me off more times than I'd like to admit, especially on loose gravel.

Cool but very expensive. For a lot less than its EU price I got an entire 140-150mm full-sus Voodoo (UK) ebike with Shimano E7000 system shipped to my house. It is the cheapest of all the 4 ebike I've owned and maybe the best(in my videos). I'm still looking for a small and low-power bolt-on motor for my kid's 16" mtb, so that she could keep up with us uphill. Not enough demand I guess.

[@AnthonyIlstonJones]

There's not going to be too much demand at that price, bear in mind you still have to factor in the cost of a battery pack and some sort of controller. Great idea, but not good value unfortunately.

[@geraldshields9035]

@Mike Fede It’s nice, but the price of the kit needs to go down considerably.

[@vmao4868]

Exactly. The CYC X1 Stealth is only about $840, but with no battery.

[@elbarto7160]

nice, but having the motor under the BB reduces the trail ability of the bike

[@ParadoxKinetics]

and factory ebikes have the motor even lower! pic: imgur.com/a/T5hPHVB thats why we designed the Paradox motor to tuck up to the downtube, it 'hugs' it. So on most frames its infront of the BB. Added to that is the tough carbon shell, aluminum reinforced, and machined aircraft aluminum sideplates which can take massive drops, being 4mm thick each

[@markmoreno7295]

Any bike? What if I have a co motion Divide with the Pinion drive train and Gates belt system?

[@nwmetalbug]

We cant have a throttle on trails so how does the pedal assist work

[@urg0nnah8me]

I have the exact same bike as you, even the color scheme. I'm curious to know how this motor placement will affect bottoming out? Have you tried climbing anything chunky with this? Pedal strikes wouldn't really be a concern with the throttle, but slamming that gorgeous motor against the jagged rocks out here would make me cry.

[@ParadoxKinetics]

Yeah its always scary to ride any new MTB or eMTB system, but that's what they're built for. Thats true what you say about pedal strikes, few realize what a problem this is when you only have pedal assist and need to climb. On most frames the motor sits higher, even on this frame it sits higher than factory eMTBs. The case is aluminum reinforced carbon sheet and the side plates are 4mm thick machined aircraft aluminum so nothing is going to stop it working. We offering a new skid plate for keeping it pretty

[@MikeFede]

That’s sick!! I plan to put on the wireless eagle shifter and dropper to clean up the front end soon. I haven’t tried any chunky climbs with rocks or anything yet but I will be taking it out this week. I’m going to see the clearance on drops too. I’ll be mounting a camera on my down tube looking at it. 🤘🏽

[@rpiian]

Around here in VT I'm always bashing my chainring and bottom bracket off stuff. I feel like that motor would be trashed in a heartbeat... At least on my bike.

[@ParadoxKinetics]

​@@rpiian why dont we try it in the spring? If you want to go for a ride, I'll follow. In the meantime I'll around Mount Snow at the end of Jan for some FS fatbiking - maybe some toughness testing can be made of that. What do you say?? The kit comes with effectively a bashguard, and skid plates can easily be added to fully protect the motor. On most bikes this motor sits several inches higher than the motors on factory e-mountain bikes, that have less sturdy cases, and very expensive frames that would have to be replaced if dented. Frames dent much more easily, and our system could be transfered to the next mountain bike in the garage, or a used frame could be bought at very low cost to a new replacement factory e-MTB frame, where the motor battery and frame are not compatible with anything that doesnt come from the manufacturer.

[@rpiian]

@@ParadoxKinetics I'd be down, though my free time is usually lunch on a weekday... :P The more I think about it though, I'm not sure what the policy is on e-bikes around here. There's some approved places like Bolton Valley (actually would be a great test - that place is insane) but where I ride I haven't heard one way or the other. Maybe don't ask don't tell...

[@siriosstar4789]

What's the torque rating in Nms ? For 3000€ i can buy a Cube or haibike with a bosch cx motor with 85 Nm fully assembled and with massive service network . Components are shimano mid range which have been proven to be as good as their high end components including four piston brakes and 500 watt bosch battery . in other words why bother with a kit when you can get the most reliable motor ( bosch) on the market for the same price .

[@xpndblhero5170]

This motor sounds like it's got serious power.... I am curious about the voltage of the battery, top speed and torque rating. Nice build Mike... You are going to love this compared to the Ariel, I can already tell. 😁

Buy a bafang bbshd they are £920 for a 1600w (peek) for the complete kit and they run quieter and smoother than that £3000 motor the bafang also has 160nm of torque standard and I got mine up to a impressive 49mph so in my opinion mate it’s a cool option it also spins up to 15,000rpms and even when I Rev it high and take it for speed runs and long rides the motor is still at a good temperature. It’s just a very underrated motor. 😎👍🏻👍🏻

Just did my conversion with bbshd... clocked 26mph on first run... heavy fat tire bike and 200+ lb rider... entire setup under $1700 including the bike. And i think i could have done it $300 cheaper with another motor which was unavailable at the time...
