An electric bicycle motor kit is a piece of mechanical kit which allows a cyclist to transform a standard pedal bike into a motorized bicycle. There are a number of different kits on the market which all require different levels of mechanical skills to install, but generally speaking they usually require basic skills but a lot of patience. The kits work in different ways depending on how their components. A powered wheel can be installed onto the front or rear of your bike, whereas a drive unit can be installed onto your bottom bracket. Certain motors can even be hidden in your seat-post or attached above the rear wheel.
