The basics

The eZee kit allows the conversion of any standard normal cycle into a powerful and state-of-the-art electric bicycle. It comes fully equipped with a 250W nominal power brushless DC motor, Lithium battery and all the electronics needed to completely transform your favorite cycle.

The full installation can be done by anyone who has some DIY skills and with standard cycle tools. It can be done in under an hour depending on your skill level and the bicycle that it is fitted to. Basically, it involves replacing your current front wheel with the eZee wheel assembly and connecting up the wires. The battery and controller are neatly housed in a specially designed bag that can be fixed to the side any rear carrier, leaving the rack open for storage of other goods. If your bicycle does not have a rear carrier currently, a basic one can be purchased and fitted from any good cycle store.

The eZee wheel assembly comes fitted with a 180mm disc brake rotor. The advanced eZee motor is thin enough to allow the whole assembly to fit into a standard 100mm axel width front fork. If your cycle is already fitted with a disc brake caliper, this might be used and your front brake will work fine. Sometimes, fitting the recommended Shimano BR-M545 will be required. If your cycle does not have a caliper mounting, this is no problem and the disc brake rotor can simply be removed by unscrewing it, or it can be left in place and simply not used.

All that is left is to route the wires to the front, secure them neatly with some cable ties, and connect up the supplied throttle and the battery voltage LED indicator to the handle bars.

Who buys the eZee kit?

The eZee kit is intended for people who want to be part of the quality eZee team and get the best electric bicycle components available; but who already have their own favorite cycle that they just want to transform into an electric bicycle. The eZee success recipe and advanced proprietary motor and controller combination have been well proven globally…if you are serious about your gear, eZee is your only option!

Note:
It must be remembered that complete eZee cycles have been designed with a holistic picture in mind and we still recommend that you consider purchasing a complete cycle before opting for the kit, as we can only guarantee the performance of the components we supply and have no control over the quality of your fitment work and cycle.

Here's our first conversion on my ladys' bike, mine is to follow soon. We commute every second day to the shops to do some groceries and to stay in shape. On weekends we'll go for a little fun ride a bit further out. Johannesburg has rediculous hills all over the place, so the electric motor really helps to keep a good average speed as we only use it for uphills, the rest of the time it is just human power. I derestricted the kit, so we keep an average speed of 30 -35Kph which is just fine, and because we only use it uphill, the battery lasts +/- 70 Km on a round trip. We are surely going to use the bikes more often once I've fitted the kit to the other bike. So - this is quite liberating and a lot of fun and you still get your exercising! - Willi Krause, Johannesburg
