It is easy to convert your bicycle into an electric bicycle, but if you consider some technical things during selection of an electric bicycle kit than it will ease your journey to convert the bicycle into an electric bicycle & running it.

If you are a techie than you have to select individual parts & assemble it but if you do not know much about parts you have to go with electric bicycle kit, As in kit all part already design & test for smooth run of bicycle

Before going to find out the exact bicycle kit or individual part you have to know about basic parts..

In electric bicycle conversion kit there are a number of small parts available (Motor, battery, controller, harness, throttle, sensor, brake lever, display, light front/rear, charger, chain, gear, Bluetooth connectivity, spokes, cable tie, locking arrangement etc.)

Note:- In the market you may find electric cycle conversion kits with battery & without battery also. You may select it as per your requirement, But must ask for a battery cell manufacturer. ( Detail read in battery selection of this page).

Motor

Motor is the one of the important parts of an electric cycle conversion kit that rotates the tyre through energy use from the battery pack.

Usually motors come with ratings in watts & voltage, in some countries if you use motor watts more than 250w you have to go with registration procedures.

Higher the wattage more power but it will drain your cycle battery very fast.

Motors rating available as 350W 36V, 1000W 48V, 250W 24V, 250W 36V etc. you may select battery as per requirement.

Some manufacture provide also provide IP rating ( Ingress protection rating) always check the rating of the motor.

Generally you may find a motor in an electric bicycle conversion kit BLDC hub motor or side connected motor.

Type of motor in electric cycle conversion kit

Crank Drive motors – Very less use in electric bicycle conversion kits. Costly & more modification require.
Hub Motors – As name indicate connect in hub & maximum use in electric bicycle
Brushed & Brushless DC motors – Usually Brushless DC motors use in electric cycles.
Friction Drive Motors – Very less use in electric bicycle conversion kits.

Battery

Battery is costlier parts of cycle & store power to run the cycle. If a battery pack is not available with kit, you want to purchase separately. Try to select lithium ion battery( lithium-ion or lithium iron phosphate battery) pack as these batteries have higher energy density & high charge & discharge cycle .

Must check your battery pack has battery management system (Battery management system is an electronic circuit that prevents overcharging & discharging of battery pack). Generally you find a battery pack with a battery management system.

If you want to design a battery pack on your own you may refer to the following book (DIY Lithium Batteries: How to Build Your Own Battery Packs) otherwise purchase a battery pack.

Selection of battery pack

Battery voltage & Ah play a major role in performance of bicycle. Battery capacity is measured in Watt-hrs.

Battery capacity Watt-hours = Amp -hrs X Volts

Always select battery in terms of Watt-hrs, not only either voltage or Amp-hrs of battery.

Eg:- Consider Bicycle A,B & C has the same motor.

Bicycle A has a 36 Volts & 20 AH battery = 720 watt hours

Bicycle B has a 72 Volts & 10 AH battery = 720 watt hours

Bicycle C has a 48 Volts & 10 AH battery = 480 watt hours

Bicycle A & B has the same battery capacity, but as voltage increases, the battery simultaneously acceleration increases. In the above case bicycle B has faster acceleration in comparison to A. Bicycle C goes for a small range in comparison to A & B.

Try to select a battery pack lithium ion with BMS & more than 200 watt hours.

Best way to keep life long your battery is charge it often, do not wait for complete discharge of battery.

Controller

Controller drives the motor & take power from battery pack.

Major cable connection in controller- For motor, battery,brake,throttle,indicator light, brake light,lock,display, Pedal Assist system (PAS is additional for increase range of cycle) sensor,charging etc.

Maximum current requested for controller is always less than maximum allowed discharge current of BMS (Battery Management System).

Theoretically running time of cycle = Battery capacity/Motor wattage (But i.e. not actual because number of factors decrease it).
