The Bafang mid drive is too powerful for this type of bike. Regarding adult trikes: While we do convert adult trikes, we do not use the Bafang mid drive motor. When that occurs, vibration or a loosening of the motor will cause that flange to penetrate the frame thus compromising the integrity of the frame. Lastly, due to the width of the bottom bracket shell on some carbon fiber bikes the M6 bolt flange may rest on the bottom of the downtube. If a nine pound battery is attached to the downtube, using the existing water bottle inserts, it will eventually loosen the inserts and the frame and the frame will be ruined. Secondly, some electric bike batteries can weigh up to nine pounds. First, the Bafang mid drive motor is held in place by 60Nm (44.25 foot pounds) of torque and that is enough force to crush/damage a carbon fiber bottom bracket shell. In regards to carbon fiber framed bikes Bikes with a carbon fiber frame should not be converted to electric for the following reasons. We have converted a number of full suspension mountain bikes but battery placement can be challenging. If your bike is not on this list, here is a rule of thumb concerning bikes that we can convert to electric: All hybrid and city bikes, all hardtail mountain bikes, all cargo bikes, all cruiser style bikes, all recumbents bikes (unless tandem or drive is on the left side), all road bikes, all adult trikes, and cyclocross bikes.

For example, bikes like the Special Roll, Rockhopper, and the Giant Escape, are bikes we have converted to electric many times. Many of these bikes we have converted numerous times. It is a partial list as it would take more time than is available at this time for a complete list. The following is a list of the bikes we have converted to electric.
