![]() ![]() Now that you’ve got some idea of how to sort these kits out and determine which one might be best for your budget and ride, let’s talk about some of the features. You can check the specs above for the exact details but think of it like this: kit 1 and 4 have heavy Lead acid batteries, kit 2 has a nicer Lithium-ion battery that will endure more than twice as many charge cycles before wearing out and kit 3 is the top of the line with a larger Lithium-ion battery and a larger 500 watt motor! This kit actually resembles the IZIP E3 Zuma which is one of my favorite ebikes around. ![]() So what’s the difference between the four kits? Somewhat confusingly, they go from 1 to 4 but the fourth kit would make more sense being called 1.5 because it uses the same basic sealed Lead acid SLA battery as kit 1 but introduces a nicer hub motor instead of a chain drive motor which is louder and less efficient. Considering the variety offered by these kits, they can be a great product for those who already have a bike they love and are just looking for a little boost but they aren’t perfect. If you mount one of these on your bike you will only be able to use a thumb throttle to activate the system. Overall they are effective, durable and proven but somewhat limited by comparison to fully assembled kits because they lack pedal assist (PAS) modes. These kits consist of the same motors, batteries and controllers that power the fully assembled eZip and IZIP electric bike lines made by Currie Technologies. ![]() You may notice they go by several names: Currie Electro-Drive bike kits 1-4 and also Currie Conversion Kit 2700, 37 (just think of those last three as Kit 2, 3 and 4 respectively). The Currie Electro-Drive bike kits can be a little confusing at first. ![]()
