Are you torn between choosing a powerful kit and a road-legal kit
Well, have both in one!

The UK/EU regulations dictate that a kit must not exceed the rated power of 250W to be road-legal. This is not great news for the thrill-seekers, power-hungry among us who want to have the occasional fun off-road yet still be able to ride sensibly and legally on-road. A purchase of the common high-powered kit will come with its legal implications. On the other hand, the practicality of a road-legal kit means giving up the fun one could have off-road. So which kit do you choose?

With these new rear wheel kits, CycloTricity had set out to resolve this very dilemma for its customers. We have developed a unique system that allows the user to swap between two modes depending on whether you are on-road or off-road, allowing you to unlock the full power where it is safe and legal to do so.
This dual-mode system is embedded in the LCD Dashboard which can unlock the full power of the kit using a special code (this can be obtained upon signing the de-restriction terms of use).
Please note that this is not the same as a de-restriction switch which has been questionable from a legal standpoint.

We’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure you get the most out of your conversion kit purchase, with the most robust and durable components today’s technology has to offer. All at arguably the best value for money kits found in the UK.

Pedal Assist System Upgrades

Why not upgrade your conversion kit by adding our optional Pedal Assistance Systems (PAS) A Pedal Assistance System is a device that senses your pedaling and makes your kit give automatic assistance, i.e. you do not have to press the throttle throughout your journey. It consists of an advanced LCD handlebar monitor which, not only gives you five levels of power but also displays your speed, journey distance, time, average speed and many other readings. The LCD computer is required to unlock the full power of 1000W for off-road use.

Although these are optional upgrades, you are highly recommended to install a Pedal Assistance System as it will transform your riding experience and improve the longevity of the battery.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to include a Pedal Assistance System with your eKit, the bottom bracket on your bike needs to be a Square Taper type (which is the most common bottom bracket on ordinary bikes). If you don’t have a square taper bottom bracket, you may need to replace it as well as the crank arms to make your bike compatible with the PAS. If in doubt, please consult a bike service shop on how to fit a square taper bottom bracket on your bike.
Alternatively, you may opt for purchasing the LCD Dashboard only without the PAS if you want the de-restriction functions but prefer not to fiddle with your bottom bracket.
