| Add an electric motor kit to your EZ-1 Recumbent bicycle. The bicycle motor option provides extra power for climbing hills, accelerating from stop signs, or for when you want to take a break from pedaling. Contact us for help in determining how the motor can work for you: |

E-4 Mid-Drive Electric Motor System
Combine an EZ-1 recumbent bike with a 500-watt drive system to get an extraordinary electric bike. The lowered seat and feet-ahead design of these bikes provide a comfortable, stable and safe ride. The Electro Cycle E-4 takes advantage of the bike's gearing to deliver great hill-climbing ability along with higher speeds - not just one or the other like most electric bikes. Most electric drive systems directly drive a wheel.
The E-4 mid-drive motor system works in tandem with the rider's pedaling through the 8-speed rear deraileur, significantly increasing motor and battery efficiency for higher assisted speeds and better pulling power. The power-on-demand drive system means no pedaling is required, but your effort will extend the range and increase the speed. The stock E-4 battery pack can be fully re-charged in about 4 hours via the included charger.
The weather-proof permanent magnet, brushless motor with internal controller provides 500 watts sustained (700 watts peak) power. Torque rating is 20Kg-cm sustained with maximum torque of 42 Kg-cm. Combined with the maintenance-free, sealed planetary gear module, the E-4 is one of the quietest, strongest power assist systems available.

|
| Other Features: |
|
- Sealed, integrated planetary gear reduction module reduces motor speed from 2600 rpm (3600 maximum) to about 260 rpm (9.33:1) and produces a maximum torque of 42 Kg-cm.
|
|
- Integrated, advanced PWM controller provides immediate starting, smoothe acceleration, great low-speed control, and protection from overheating and low voltage.
|
|
- 24-volt 12Ah high-output sealed lead-acid battery pack with keyed ON/OFF switch and carrying handle for remote charging.
|
|
- 18-20 mph cruising speed (without pedaling, faster with pedaling), depending on conditions. (Special order sprockets add top speed but are only for the few States that allow higher than 20 mph top assisted speed.)
|
|
- Range with the standard battery pack without pedaling is ~8 to 10 miles (140-175 lb. rider, level terrain, no wind, full power...), though significantly longer distances are achievable with light pedaling. (At only 27 lbs, the motor kit keeps the cycle light enough to still pedal comfortably. Customers with special needs and longer range can add a second battery pack. Once more reliable and affordable, lighter weight batteries will make the electric system even better.
|
|
- Brake levers with integrated power-off switch.
|
|
- 24-volt 1.8 amp smart charger won't overcharge batteries.
|
|
- Weight: motor and gearing = 7 lbs.; battery pack = 20 lbs.
|
|
- Warranty: one year for motor/controller and charger; six months for batteries.
