Overview Designed for compatible Catrike recumbent trikes Top speed up to 26 mph with a typical 15–30 mile range Pedal-assist and throttle-on-demand Rear 500W geared hub motor with internal clutch Battery mounting system nnow included! A purpose-built electric conversion system for Catrike models that use standard rear dropouts, delivering efficient performance, strong torque, and smooth power delivery. Description Convert Your Catrike to Electric The E-BikeKit™ Catrike Conversion Kit includes specialized components selected to integrate with compatible Catrike recumbent frames. Because Catrike designs vary by model year, careful configuration is important for best results. Important compatibility note: This kit is not compatible with newer Catrike models that use thru-axles. It is also not compatible with models equipped with internal gear hubs. The system is powered by a rear 500W internally geared hub motor featuring a 5:1 planetary gear reduction and internal clutch. This design provides strong starting torque, efficient power delivery, and zero drag when pedaling without power. Compared to a direct-drive motor, the geared motor is lighter, more efficient, and better suited to stop-and-go riding, helping extend range while maintaining a compact, discreet appearance. Pedal-assist compatibility note:Some newer Catrike models use external-bearing bottom brackets, which require special PAS components. The default configuration is a left-side PAS sensor for square-taper bottom brackets. If your trike uses an external-bearing crankset, please contact us with photos before ordering so we can supply the correct PAS hardware. Who is this kit for? This system is ideal for riders who want high efficiency, lighter weight, and higher cruising speeds on compatible Catrike models. The total system load limit is 300 lbs. Riders exceeding this should consider a heavy-duty system instead.
