News for 48V eZee customers

We've been selling the eZee hub motor kits for about 1.5 years now, and have had great success with them over all. We have not yet had a single motor fail. Unfortunately, we have had some controller failures (which we've warranted). It turns out that many of those failures are associated with 48V operation using a LifePO4 battery, since those batteries often run at higher voltages (e.g. 52-54V).

We have alternative controllers lined up for anyone wanting to use this at 48V, please contact us.

The Nine Continent motor kits have arrived. These provide a low cost hub motor solution with good climbing torque and speed. We are putting together complete kit options starting at under $350, including shipping. We'll be posting them on our online store in the hub motors section later this week.

Web store redesign

We have been working on a new and improved layout for our web store, to make browsing and shopping easier. It has been almost ready to go for a few weeks, but there are still a few little remaining imperfections. We will have those sorted out soon.
