http://CleanRepublic.com/hill_topper_electric_bike_conversion_kit.html Drop out your old front wheel and drop in your new Hill Topper electric wheel! CleanRepublic.com has now made the Hill Topper Classic electric bike wheel kit available for sale worldwide. Unlike other complex electric bike kits, Clean Republic's kits are designed for simple, quick installation on almost any bike in the world. These kits are lighter, more efficient, easier to use, and easier to install than any other.

The Hill Topper Classic kit includes SLA batteries that easily clip under any bike seat using asimple velcro and clip system. The batteries contain enough power to take you 10 miles with no pedaling, and are light enough not to interfere with normal usage of your bike. The whole kit including wheel, hub motor, and batteries weighs only 18 pounds.

Ride your bike just like you always have, but when you get tired, have a windy day or get to that one nasty hill, just press the button for a big boost of power assistance! These motors effectively double the strength of the average bike rider, kicking in with 150-250 watts of assistance depending on which model you use.

Converting your bike to electric power is a great alternative to investing in expensive and complex electric or hybrid or even standard fuel efficient compact cars like the Honda Insight or the Toyota Prius or Camry. Also, don't be intimidated by the installation process. Replacing your bike's front wheel is simpler than nearly all DIY or home improvement tasks that might require power tools or other expert skills.

Ultra light and compact lithium batteries are being tested now. Stay tuned!

  • Is that the 8ah SLA or lithium ion battery pack?

  • @TheBuckNigger Yes, the SLA is 8ah and the Lithium is 8.5ah

  • is there any way to convert my kinetic energy into electricity?

  • @ImSoOffended Yes, this is how all electric generator work, by converting kinetic energy (usually heated steam, or flowing water in the case of hydro electric) into electricity. You would need to pedal like Lance Armstrong to even generate enough electricity to recharge our battery though. The motor is 250 watts, and the average Tour de France racer generates about 300 watts.

  • Price?...

  • @shadowblack1987 $399 for the 10 mile kit and $795 for the 20 mile light weight kit. Check our website for more details. Thanks.

  • Haha. Yeah, I don't think he understands the value of the quick installation and quiet, clean operation. Also, who needs to go 37mph without pedaling? That's what motorcycles are for, but our kit is for your very own bike that you already enjoy.

  • You said "Thanks, Bro!" to me, in this video; twice.

  • love it!

  • the motor wheel is not latched properly to the frame, I mean a locking mechanism is very crucial to the safety of the rider. Yeah, not that safe I must foresee.

  • @ClownFight but you cud put more power back into the batteries by peddling with a dynamo? /watch?v=ahr9sUnqfeM

  • @jackvincent90 Oh give me a break. Talk to an electrician, better yet talk to a fifth grade math student. YOU CAN'T CREATE MORE ENERGY THAN YOU PUT IN. Batteries simply store energy at the same rate as the energy it takes to generate it, minus the friction and other losses. This is science 101. Have you actually to use re-gen on your electric bike or are you guessing?

    Some people are incapable of understanding simple physics principles. You are one of these people.

    We're done here.

  • @ClownFight if 30 seconds slow turning on drill gen powers a 1.5 aa battery for half an hour im sure it can gen enought to power your electric bike, the resistance is so low its like having your tyres down a little

  • @ClownFight lol, i understand that there will be resistance, not allot but small friction resistance, yes you burn up more energy yourself, a small light dynamo or even an old drill on ur bike will generate electricity from your peddling (not free never said it was). Tesla has good free energy inventions. as to my original question will it extend batteries life, yes, is there better gens out there than the high friction 1's ur thinking of yes,

  • @jackvincent90 If you are pedalling becaue your battery runs out then you are moving yes? If you attach the dynamo then you are still pedalling but moving much slower because of the resistance. You will arrive at your destination much faster and less fatigued without having the dynamo attached, where you can plug your pack into the wall socket. It will take 400km of pedalling to charge for 30km of electric assist. What is so hard to understand about that? There is no free energy!

  • @ClownFight you riding aslong, check you batteries, oh no i have 1%, best put on the dynamo, now you start peddling instead of using the power and the dynamo charges the batteries. What is so hard to understand about that?

  • @jackvincent90 why does everyone think that dynamos can generate free power? As soon as you hook up a dynamo to a battery that you're recharging the dynamo develops resistance comparable to the energy it generates PLUS friction losses. The dynamo would DECREASE your battery's energy storage, not add to it.
