This is often a much lower cost option than buying a brand-new ebike. Our ebike conversion kits are a great way to upgrade a bike you already love, whether it’s for commuting, leisure riding, or tackling Christchurch’s hills with ease. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith years of experience installing electric bike conversion kits in New Zealand, we can advise you on what will work best for your bike, what may not be suitable, and which setup is most likely to suit your riding style and budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWe also offer custom electric bike conversions and specialist installations, so if you have a project in mind — from commuter bikes to unique custom builds — get in touch and we’ll help bring it to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently asked questions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan any bike be converted to electric?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany can, but not all. Suitability will depend on intended use, but generally we are looking for three main things: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame shape - Is there enough space in the frame to mount a battery? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality of brakes - Does the bike have disk brakes? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom bracket size - Does the bike have an average size bottom bracket?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many cases, we will need to see the bike before we can give our answer. Feel free to send us a photo of your bike if you have any questions about specific compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it cheaper to convert a bike to electric rather than buying a new ebike?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many cases yes. If you have an existing bike that fits you well, suits your needs, and is in good condition, a conversion kit would be cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is especially the case if your 'donor' bike has high-end components that may not be found on ebikes at a pricepoint you are looking for. Some people even purchase a new 'analogue' bike with the intention of putting a kit on it for that reason. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimes where it may not be cheaper to convert are when an older bike needs substantial repair work or upgrades to bring it up to a safe standard. The most common example is when a bike needs to be converted to disk brakes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you do the installation and servicing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes! We can install, service, and repair Converted Bafang systems in our workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is included with the cost of the kit, though incidentals like longer cables and consumable parts like brake pads may be needed. We will advise you if this is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are also able to do the 10,000km motor service in-house. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan you service my non-Converted brand Bafang motor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbably not. This is due to the varied access of spare parts that can exist from brand to brand. Since Converted kits are the only Bafang motors we sell, we don't have a large catalogue of replacement parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not service, diagnose, or repair any hub drive motor, or hub drive ebikes that have been purchased through independent or direct import channels. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe apologise for the inconvenience. We will \u003cem\u003ealways\u003c\/em\u003e be happy to help point you to who we think will be able to help you best if we aren't able to work on your bike. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"converted-36v-3-pin-fast-charger-4-amp","title":"Converted 36V 3-Pin Fast Charger (4 Amp)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReplacement 36v 4 amp (fast) charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuits 36V DP style Lekkie and Converted batteries (3 pin charging socket).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to an increase of ebike theft, we will need to see a proof of purchase for your bike conversion before we will ship the charger.
