Select the wheel size and freewheel that match your trike, then choose cadence or torque-sensing pedal assist. Description Catrike Electric Conversion System – 48V 15Ah Battery The current-generation E-BikeKit™ Catrike Conversion System uses the latest SINET™ platform with a 500W nominal rear hub motor, integrated sine-wave controller, full-color LCD, throttle-on-demand, locking e-brake levers, and your choice of cadence or torque-sensing pedal assist. Because Catrike configurations vary by model and model year, this system is offered with customer-selected 20", 26", or 700C rear wheel sizes and 7-, 8-, 9-, or 10-speed freewheels. Select the configuration that matches your compatible trike before adding the system to your cart. Important Compatibility InformationThis system requires compatible slotted rear dropouts capable of accepting the motor's 10 mm flat bolt-on axle. Catrike configurations that use a rear thru-axle are not compatible. Rear dropout and axle compatibility must be confirmed before ordering. Who is this system for? Riders with a compatible Catrike who want a complete rear-wheel electric conversion system with matched SINET™ electronics and configurable wheel/drivetrain options. The total system load limit is 300 lbs. Configure Your Catrike System Catrike models vary in rear wheel size and drivetrain configuration. This product uses required configuration selections so E-BikeKit can build the correct rear motor wheel for your order. Wheel Size 20" 26" 700C Freewheel 7-Speed 8-Speed 9-Speed 10-Speed Both Wheel Size and Freewheel must be selected before ordering. These selections are recorded with your order and are used to configure the rear motor wheel. If you do not know your wheel size, freewheel configuration, or rear axle/dropout type, contact E-BikeKit before ordering. What’s Included USA hand-built Catrike rear motor wheel in your selected 20", 26", or 700C size 500W nominal rear hub motor Selected 7-, 8-, 9-, or 10-speed freewheel 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery Integrated SINET™ sine-wave controller housed in the battery cradle SINET™ battery/controller cradle 3A smart charger SINET™ 3.5" full-color LCD with USB charging port Topeak handlebar extender for LCD mounting SINET™ component wiring harness Thumb throttle Left and right locking e-brake levers with motor cutoff Motor cable Pedal-assist extension cable as required for the Catrike layout Catrike 2-inch round frame-tube battery mounting bracket Torque arm(s), washers, zip ties, and required conversion-system hardware Your pedal-assist selection determines the sensor included: Cadence Sensor: Cadence-sensing pedal-assist components configured for the Catrike application Bottom Bracket Torque Sensor: SINET™ 68 mm square-taper torque-sensing bottom bracket with required SINET™ extension cable Pedal Assist & Crank Compatibility Cadence Sensor The cadence sensor detects crank rotation and activates pedal assistance according to the assist level selected on the LCD. Catrike crank and bottom-bracket configurations can vary, so the appropriate cadence-sensing hardware depends on the trike's crank configuration. Some Catrike models use external-bearing bottom brackets. If your Catrike uses an external-bearing crankset, contact E-BikeKit with photos before ordering so we can confirm the appropriate pedal-assist hardware. Bottom Bracket Torque Sensor The optional SINET™ bottom bracket torque sensor measures rider effort and provides motor assistance in proportion to how hard you pedal, creating a smoother and more natural riding feel. Designed for a compatible 68 mm square-taper bottom bracket Required SINET™ extension cable included Measures rider pedaling force Provides smooth, proportional assistance Installation requires removal of the existing crank arms and bottom bracket Installation requires a protected 3/8-inch cable-routing hole through the bottom bracket shell Important: If your Catrike uses an external-bearing bottom bracket or another crank configuration that is not compatible with the SINET™ 68 mm square-taper torque sensor, contact E-BikeKit before selecting the torque-sensor option.
