Pros: For the base $850 motor price the eRAD mid drive motor kit is compatible with 68 and 73 mm bottom brackets and for $1,100 you can get it custom built for BB86, BB90, BB92, BB95 with press-fit (Trek and Giant) or 100 mm for fat bike frames Optional left or right mounting trigger throttles and twist throttles, this is great for people with crowded handlebars or those who are left handed and prefer a different layout While the motor is assembled by Bafang and resembles the other 8Fun kits Ive reviewed, it uses higher quality bearings, mosfet transistors and chainring designs as well as an integrated shift-sensor wire and firmware to control it Mid-drive designs usually reduce unsprung weight and offer improved balance because they are low and center on the frame, they are also more efficient with paired with a gear cluster or CVT because they provide mechanical advantage for the drive system Two battery size options are available for the 500 watt motor size including 36 volt 11 amp hour and 36 14.5 amp hour for improved range, the stock option is downtube mounting but rear rack designs are also available Solid one year comprehensive warranty with a 1,000 cycle guarantee on the battery pack, quality Panasonic Lithium-ion cells are light weight and durable Available direct online either as a customized kit or pre-built into an Electra Fast 5, Moto 3, Townie or Origin 8 Fat Bike Great dealer selection with over 50 shops in the United States who can install this or receive and build your bike Quiet and relatively smooth to operate, extra firmware and software optimization has been done to delay the throttle when starting from rest for safety and reduced wear Cons: The cables for this kit have to be arranged and connected to the frame using zip-ties which can look a bit cluttered, many times they are a bit too long (one size fits all) and this leads to some jumbling, looks best on black frames because they blend in The stock brake levers are mechanical so if you have hydraulic brakes on your bike you will have to ask for the universal brake sensor and then glue or zip tie in the sensor and magnet The older dolphin style battery packs had an integrated USB charger for your phone or other portable electronics but the new ones (while slimmer and sturdier) do not The battery pack has to be powered on independently from the main LCD display panel, this takes a few extra seconds and could be confusing if you forget and then wonder why the system isnt turning on If you want to add lights to your ebike they cannot easily be wired into the battery pack here (though it has been done by some hobbyists), youll need to buy aftermarket self-powered lights like the Cygolite Metro 400 combo Resources: Official Site: Owners Manual: e-rad-electric-bike-owners-manual.pdf Product Warranty: lectric-cycles-e-rad-warranty-policy.docx More Pictures: Reader Interactions [UPDATE] I was told by Chris Head from e-RAD that they no longer sell the 500 watt mid-drive, they are focused on the 350, 750 and 1,000 watt models which I have reviewed here
