Don't Tape It, Box It!

We see many DIY builds where the controller is just wrapped in tape or zip-tied to the frame exposed. This is a recipe for disaster (water damage!).

Why Use a Controller Box?

A Controller Box is a cheap insurance policy. It houses the controller and the messy bundle of wires inside a neat, splash-proof shell.

Installation

It mounts easily to your seat tube or down tube using the provided clamps. It makes your bike look professional and keeps the electronics safe from mud and rain.

Professional Finish

Tidy up your wiring and protect your controller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to mount an electric cycle controller box?

Under the down tube or inside a water-resistant triangle frame bag with cable exit ports facing downwards.

How do I protect controller wiring from heavy monsoon rain?

Ensure all rubber grommets are seated tight, wrap connections in spiral cable wrap, and apply dielectric silicone grease on plugs.

Why must the controller casing have airflow?

The aluminum casing acts as a heatsink for internal MOSFET transistors; adequate airflow prevents thermal cut-offs on long climbs.
