This is what im talking about. A cost effective conversion kit. Like with electric cars, the best thing for the planet is surely to convert it rather than scrap it and build a whole new one. Great video, more of this please electroheads.

Purchased this a few weeks ago and fitted to my 6ku single speed. Fitting process is very simple for anyone who does their own bike maintenance (as long as you get an assembled wheel). Very impressed with the kit so far. Done a 60km cycle yesterday (mostly flat, some hills equating to 80m elevation gain and in some not inconsiderable wind speed). Wasn't sure what range I would get so stayed in eco mode for 70% of the journey then switched to boost mode when I realised I still had plenty battery left. Had over 50% battery left by the time I got home. Would assume the stated 50km range is based on using the bike in boost mode as I recon you could easily get double that in eco mode. Seen some reviews saying the motor isn't very powerful. I have only used an ebike before this whilst in Canada where the regulations are different - The ebike used over there basically done all the work for you. With this you still need to pedal, especially in eco mode which I would say just reduces your own effort by 30-40%. I purchased this to allow me to go longer trips in worse weather conditions without getting too exhausted while still getting some exercise, so for me it is perfect. The superboost button is also a great help to take off at lights or tackle a sudden steep incline (major drawback of a single speed bike). My only negative comments would be that it feels like it's doubled the weight of my bike (to be expected but I live in a 3rd floor flat) and that the quality of the packaging & instructions supplied isn't the best. Haven't used the mobile app yet.

I bought I boost kit for myself for Christmas..... absolutely brilliant. Easy to fit yourself and minimalistic design most people don't even notice my bike is electric.

One misconception: if you drive a normal bike monday to friday, you'll end up with more energy and more endurance instead of less

Honestly if you can get a giant escape 1 disc as you have in this video for 200 British pounds then that's a steal since they go for nearly 500 British pounds equivalent where I live. I actually have a 2023 Escape one disc and I absolutely love it. I got it as a commuting bike so I can spare my Giant Defy that I use for a weekend rides. The ride quality is absolutely incredible and blew me away to be honest when comparing it to my Giant Defy advanced 2. Honestly, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Escape one disc Even at full price for anyone who's looking at getting it a great riding bike but isn't really sure if they want to go road bike and want to just do flat bar. It rides just as quick to some degree and you get less fatigued. I usually cruise along on mine going 30 km an hour like no problem on City roads that aren't always the smoothest. It's just great to have those 38C tires even though my road bike has 32C which is nice. But you don't have to worry about too many punctures with 38C.

I live in the US and I'm defiantly interested in this. Hopefully they deliver world wide.

Thanks for the in light sound reasonably priced cheers!!!!

Very interesting, loving the James May and Joyce Summers inserts :)

Simple and beautiful 😊

I just called Paradise Cycles and they have conversion kits for my 28" Carrera as well! Yay! Now to schedule when I'll go to London.

I'm liking it. If it were available in North America (USA) I'd order the 26" kit immediately. It would go perfectly on my Tern Joe P24.

clever conversion kit! Since I have a Copenhagen Parts front wheel porter on my single speed, there wouldn't be any room for the Swytch conversion battery. 👍🏻

My old GT Avalanche got electrified for a grand total of £402 and about two hours of work fitting it. One year of daily commuting later and the only issues have been the cadence sensor on the crank wearing out (which was fixed by putting a couple of turns of duct tape around the crank) So I have never even fitted the £10 replacement I ordered. It doesn't have to cost a fortune.

This was a good one, I have wondered about this option for an old bike, thanks Eilish & team 😊

rear wheel drive as well, a better bet than swytch in my opinion

Thanks for the review. How does it compare to the Swytch? Pros and Cons of each…maybe topic for your next video? Which would you choose based on performance

Thank you for making reviews fun.

Good idea !

Great info about the Boost kit Eilish, thanks for sharing. But I gotta thank you even more for something else - it's been a while since I thought about Buffy's Mum 😁😁😁. 😎

would like to see a direct comparison with Cytronex's one. Good vid. I like the rear wheel drive. My only concern is they're a brand new company pretty much, compare to Cytronex who have been established for 10 years at least and have a very good after care service. The difference is always in the customer care. Also, this video is clearly promotion sale and not a true review. Best to look for an independent who's bought one and hasn't been sponsored by them.

That looks like an easy conversion even I could do myself and I am not mechanically inclined. Other kits I have seen have so many other parts.

Deserved the awards

Wud luv a direct axle drive idea for wheelchair use

what is the extra wieght? 4 kilos thanks for leting us know Great Video

I'd be interested to give this a try. Do they ship to France?

Good video but where do u fit your water bottle now? 🤔

got a similar kit for my nice old bike

Can I use this on my three speed cruiser with coaster brake?

That looks very easy. I assume if you buy another bike in a year or a few years, you can move those parts onto your new bike?

But there are loads of powerful rear and front-wheel kits even on Amazon that cost £200-£300 without battery and £450-£550 with a 10-15ah battery - and most of them have throttles. But oddly few reviewers ever mention these let alone put them together and try them out... Paul G

THE conversion kit is cool . except the 250w motor ! i have strong head winds here in Arizona ! i need a 350w-750w motor to help me !

Good idea

that looks like a very neat conversion kit.

I fitted a front hub electric wheel conversion kit in the UK, only 250Watts permitted, that's the law on the road, to my full suspension Marin mountain bike. Yes, it make a great difference to riding a bicycle. Although you can get mid - or rear conversion kits ie, motor where pedals are, or in rear wheel, the front wheel motor hub, to me is the best. Here are a few reasons why the front hub motor is the best application; 1) it means that you effectively have two wheel drive bicycle( rear wheel pedalling + front wheel electric motor), this was very useful in the winter just gone by, in the snow and mud. 2) If something happens to your gears or the chain snaps, etc. you lose your rear wheel drive! unless you can fix it "(very messy job) on the side of the road! You can use the front motor on its own to get you home! 3) If like me you, are old and have dodgy knees, that sometimes get inflamed from the pressure of pedalling, you can use the front wheel motor on it's own, to get you home! Thus to me the front hub motor makes the best sense for normal riding on the road, in all conditions. I bought my 250 volt kit online from a UK company called Vandervolt, and they were very helpful when I fitted it myself. They don't know I am saying this! But I am very happy with the kit!

Please review the Gotrax ebe1 please

Really interested to try this!! i'm still in the mind that electric bikes need to come with hydraulic disc brakes for saftey. Like that you can put this on a road bike with an 11speed cassette.

Anyone know how fast this can go? I know some cut off at 25ish MPH?

Torque sensing or cadence sensing?

How much torque does the body kit have?

Hello. Any shops in the US that will install the Boost Kit? Enjoyed the video

not bad But if you have any hills or desire to go faster i'd go with mid drive . bbs02 and a micro mini batt behind the seat would be Choice 🚀

Why does our good old Halfords never get a mention - complete electric bikes for under £600 with one even under £500. I did have a folding model from them in 2019 for under £500 but sold it in 2020 as my job changed, worked well, and built well.

Big fan of the swytch kit, however, this is a really good alternative.

Thank you for your great review. It is really helpful How noisy is the motor? Does it beep / pay a tune when it connects? Is that annoying and can you turn it off?

Does it have a cadence sensor???

Your bike is unroadworthy as there is no bell(Warning instument) or reflecter) What is the warrantee on the motor kit?

I recall another startup company offered a rear wheel replacement to convert a normal bicycle to e-bike, with regenerative charge on braking and a wireless controller, but I don't remember the name, the wheel was solid with no spokes. The cost was around $1000AUD though at the time

may i know where u get the helmet from?

please make this available in the US! I'd buy immediately

Can this be added to a Brompton?

In India, I can get new ebike for 200 GBP. With the rage of 50km.No idea why it is costly ter.

Electric assist. Which mean I need to keep pedalling for it to work. No mode for it to keep running? No regenerative charging of the battery just in case I go down hill. My ride to work is 50% downhill and the rest is a little up hill and flat road.

This looks good, my only concern is that I didn't see him fit a crank sensor to measure pedaling effort?

where can we get these kits?

Thank

Disappointed with my boost kit. Wheel has detentioned twice in four weeks, resulting in taking the bus home. Stops functioning when the battery goes below 40%. Wireless display ships with a flat battery and has trouble connecting. And it's quite noisy.

It's exactly what I'm looking for but it's a damn shame they don't ship outside of the UK or Denmark 😥

what brand is that bike?

Interesting option 🤔 - does it feel exactly like a normal E bike? Also, does the motor detect when you are braking?

That kit looks good but no mention of price or battery size - particularly the latter as that battery looks pretty small. I'd guess 250 - 300Wh but it would be good to know...

How different is it from other hub motor kits? The installation by a pro was not convincing

I bought a Dutch electric bike, made about 20 years ago, which had a lead acid battery - long before Lithium came along. That battery is so small, looks like the range isn't great

How can you possibly notice a difference between front or rear wheel drive? Maybe if you are turning sharply... But under almost all conditions no difference is discernible in my experience. Is it truly 250 W or is it 250 "Nominal Watts" to get around regulations. Having the drive built into the motor (I assume) makes it neat... and I really like the wireless control panel! Range? Battery capacity? Some key info missing from your review.

Any chance boost comes to Asia?

Looks interesting, but too little info... - it's not mentioned in the video what the wattage of the hub motor is...? - it's not mentioned how it works without a cadence sensor on the crank...? - not mentioned how one can change the mode without a control of some kind on the bars, perhaps a Bluetooth smartphone app..? - Not mentioned how one orders the correct rear wheel size, width & OLD from them...? - not mentioned what kind of rim and spokes they use... I'm not sure really that the rider can physically tell the difference between a front drive motor and a rear...

Loving the conversion kit, I'd definitely do something similar plus add the veer drive belt kit if possible.

What bike is that ?

Can I find it in USA?

Great concept but the reality has been very disapointing. I got one of the recomended shops to fit the kit to save time. The time estimate was about a week and a half to fit, in the end it was about a month. Since fitting, the wheel has detentioned twice, meaning which seems to take 2 or 3 days to fix, plus finding time and method to get the bike to the shop (my tiny car now has many scratches). Also when the wheel fails I am left stuck having to find another form of transport home. I started the process with a functioning bike, since I then I have been able to cycle about half of the time. The boost seems to stop assisting at 40% battery which I am getting the impression from the support is what they would expect. It's quite noisy. The handle bar unit fails to connect every so often, requiring the battery to be removed and put back in. The unit also comes with a flat battery that I had to replace the day after I bought it. All of this seems to be of not much suprise to the support team and I get the impression they think I should be happy with this situation.

Why do you need to do 14 cut edits from the time stamp 1:00 to 1:30 just to say one sentence I’m confused

I like Eilis!

which bike is she was riding?

Nice video. Where there are hills, higher voltage and more watts are not only desirable but needed. 36v 250w won’t cut it.

Wow £500 you can get a whole e-bike with battery for that price. Need a 20" version for front wheel cargo bikes.

Missing some pretty basic info: motor size, battery voltage & capacity, etc. Is it pedal assist compliant and what about availability of spares like additional battery pack?

Any legal liabilities there, fitting the kit Paradise Cycles?

How many watts what is price? Ah

Unfortunately there are not partner shops in Germany

It's okay. But you sacrifice the mount for the water bottle cage to mount the battery. Also. Rear wheel drive means it's pushing. Ot pulling. So there may be less stress overall on the motor. Would love to buy this and review it. Unfortunately it doesn't come in a 27 inch wheel.

People never show these bikes going up hill, that's were I would need it ?

I was expecting it to be crazy expensive... but it's not so bad... and it looks pretty good too in comparison to other conversion kits.

I would love to know how does it drive without the assist? This is what I think is a big problem with e-bikes. They are useless when the battery is dead, becomes way too hard to bike.

The sensor is in the motor? What wattage is it? Is this legal in the uk

Back wheel, is there a front wheel version? Massive Brighton hills on rear wheel power would make me pop wheelies everywhere

Amazing....i want buy booster kit ,. But myself from SRI lanka....

I’m in the states.

How do you charge the bike & how long does it take

wow 😮 amazing bit of kit ...

This wouldn't work on a belt driven bicycle that has its gears built into the rear wheel hub, I guess.

500pound ebike you say... click on the link to go to product page and elecroheads are selling for £645? Am I missing something here?

Of course, if you were to do the commute for a few days/weeks, you'd be stronger and fitter which means you'd be able to do the Friday.

What helmet are you wearing?

Where’s your puffer coat from?

That's great! I think it's better to re-use your old bike rather than buy a new one. It's just a pity that they only ship to the UK and Denmark... Can you use it as a regular bike when the battery dies while riding? Does the motor spin freely without electricity?

That's really cool, it looks like you could also just pick up an extra rear wheel(5-10$ round here) and convert that. If that's true, you could have an E-bike that is also a regular bike just by swapping wheels, dropping in the power pack, connect and go. 2 Bikes in one? Also you could easily carry extra power packs for more range. That saves weight for shorter trips and makes it easier to quick swap with charged packs. Do they sell half sized power packs?

Nice Commercial.

Hi, How much does the boost kit cost ?

A shame it's not available in other wheel sizes...

i don't know how much the build quality worth in this but for the specs it have, that kit is quite expensive

I think i could be a game chamger if they will do 20” wheel kit
