Solution
Any bike with an internal bottom bracket between 68 and 73mm
wide will be compatible with this kit. If the bottom bracket has
any small defects like a bur or foreign particle in the way, you
may need to use a file to smooth these out. The mid drive kit
requires a very good fit and this can make it quite stiff to install,
but it will fit!
Unfortunately there are always going to be rare cases when a
manufacturer of a bike has decided to be different. If this is the
case and there is not enough thread extending out the other side
of your bottom bracket (requires 10mm+) or the motor simply
won’t slide into your bottom bracket if the diameter is too small,
you may have to seek assistance from a bicycle mechanic or
preferably. The motor spindle that slides into your frame bottom
bracket has a diameter of approximately 33.3 mm so your bottom
bracket should also have a diameter around this value.
Please contact us for longer wiring.
You may require some longer bolts. The bolts should thread
into your frame a reasonable amount as they will be holding the
battery to the frame and this connection should be as structur-
ally sound as possible. If you feel as though the bolts aren’t long
enough, please get some longer bolts as using bolts that are too
small may cause the thread to strip.
If for instance you have integrated shifters, you might find that
with the throttle and shifter on the right side, you have run out of
room. If you can’t manage to shuffle everything around to make
room, you may prefer to opt for a thumb throttle.
If the e-brakes provided are not ideal, either you can elect not to
use e-brake handles (the kit will still function) or you purchase
from us e-brake cut-off sensors which can mount to your existing
brake handles, no matter what kind.
The controller is configured so you can run both the pedal as-
sist sensor, and the throttle, or one or the other. If installed, the
throttle will always act as an override.
