Introducing the NEW Go-Hub Kit
The new 2008 go-hub
electric hub motor bike kits offer you the
very best value and performance in the world today!! They are
designed to be a huge improvement over any of the competitions
electric bike conversion kits.
Our latest
exclusive twist throttle now features a Go-Hub split
grip with built in power gauge and matching left grip!! No other
conversion kits offer this throttle! Split twist throttles prevent
accidental starts when mounting or dismounting your bike or trike.
These are the best hub conversion kits in the business!! The main
component of our 2008 26" go-hub 400 conversion kit is the 400
watt (700 watt peak) #408 brushless, gearless, silent hub motor.
This motor has no moving parts. The motor itself spins around the
center shaft/axle. Max rider weight 250 lbs. The 24" go-hub
400T trike kits use a #409 motor which has slightly less speed
but has more torque to handle the extra weight of a trike. Max
rider weight 300 lbs. The go-hub motor is a direct drive motor
and is virtually silent!! All you will hear is the rush of the wind.

typical cruiser bike
Notice in the
photo that there are no external connectors or excess
wires to deal with!! Installation is a simple matter of removing your
bikes front wheel, tire and tube. Mount your tire and new tube onto
the go-hub wheel then mount the new wheel onto your front fork.
Before you order, it's important to check your bike for the following
front fork measurements: The fork MUST be at least 3.75" wide at
the dropouts (where the wheel bolts on) and 3" wide between the forks
4" up from the dropouts for motor clearance. The shaft/axle of the
motor is a standard 10mm so the dropout holes MUST be this wide to
fit the axle of the motor. If you are not completely sure of your
bikes measurements please call. Customers who return kits due to
improper fork clearances will be charged all shipping costs.
Mount the thumb throttle to the handlebars and clamp or wire tie on
the electronic controller to the front of the steering tube (26" kits).
By mounting the controller onto the front of the bike this allows for
better cooling and a neater look. The 24" Trike kits need to have the
controller mounted to the rear seat tube. Mount the rear rack and
slide the Topeak Super Trunk battery pack onto it. Run the power
wire from the controller back to the trunk, plug it in and you are
done!! The Topeak Super Trunk has a Soneil 2 amp constant current
charger (equivalent to 4 Amp heavy transformer charger in charging
time) built in so you can charge your batteries anywhere just by just
plugging the charger into the batteries and taking the AC wire out of
the trunk and plugging in!! The go-hub Kit comes pre-wired with all
of the components connected inside of the controller which makes
installation very quick, neat and easy with no messy looking external
connectors or excess wires. The only connection that you need to
make is for the battery!! You are now ready to experience the fast
silent ride of your new go-hub electrified bike or trike!!
The new go-hub electric hub motor kit features:
#408 400 watt (700 watt peak) brushless hub motor with powerful
rare earth magnets laced to a 26" or 24"(#409 motor) alloy wheel
with stainless steel spokes. 26" or 24" 1.175"-2.125" wide
tube.
20 amp instant start controller with 80C
thermal cutoff protection.
Motor, throttle and battery wires are
already connected inside of

neat appearance. This new
controller has just been released by the
manufacturer and utilizes
all of the latest upgrades. The internal
motor, throttle and battery
connection design is a go-hub exclusive!!

24" wheel) and up to 30 mile range 36
volt 12ah battery pack with
