The Ultimate Guide to Selecting an Electric Conversion Kit

Converting your bicycle into an electric bike requires matching motor power, battery capacity, and wheel size to your daily commuting terrain and distance requirements.

Key Selection Criteria:

  • Wheel Diameter: Match the pre-laced motor rim to your existing bicycle wheel size (26T, 27.5T, or 700C/29T).
  • Battery Chemistry & BMS: Ensure the pack uses certified Grade-A Li-ion cells with multi-tier thermal protection.
  • Plug-and-Play Waterproof Wiring: Color-coded Julet connectors ensure easy, tool-free installation without soldering.

What battery capacity should I select for a 40km daily commute?

A 36V 10Ah or 13Ah lithium-ion battery provides 45 to 65 km on pedal assist, easily handling a 40km daily round trip with reserve power.
