I often find myself struggling a bit to get back in the saddle and pedaling across a busy intersection, especially if it is slightly uphill. Having a hub motor also is a safety tool, especially for those that are getting a little older and not quite as agile as they once were. Sure, It won’t pull you up without helping it by pedaling some, but isn’t exercise the main reason we ride our bicycles, otherwise, we would just get a motorcycle. The 24 volt system is plenty powerful enough to assist a person up the average hill. Your Hilltopper electric bike wheel, on the other hand, will give you a smooth, effortless ride.Ī light weight front hub motor is the perfect solution for those that don’t want their bicycle to look or feel like an electric bike. Our competitors use motors without this type of bearing, meaning many of their motor components continue to spin and create drag when you are coasting. It easily rolls with the same low friction of a regular bike wheel. The hub motor has a smooth free-wheel bearing which means there is no rolling resistance when the motor is turned off. The wheel is hand built here in Seattle by our e-bike mechanics, using high-quality components. A planetary-geared 250w 24v DC brushless hub motor, weighing six pounds is laced into it for a combined weight of only 10 lbs. This wheel comes in four different sizes and has a two-cross lacing pattern. A complementary Kenda tire & tube is included to make installation easy (and save you money). Hub is disc brake compatible. Cloth rim tape provides extra protection against flats. Stainless steel spokes are combined with a double wall rim. Your wheel is built to order and customized to fit the wheel size of your bike. Built by hand at our shop in the Sodo neighborhood of Seattle.
