King of the off road kits
The predecessor to this conversion kit filled a gap in the market for a reasonably priced high speed off road, rear drive, hub motor conversion kit. We've opted to make changes to this kit based on the feedback from our customers. We've ditched the rear rack battery and opted for a solution that improves off road performance. The new battery solution is lighter, easier to install and higher in energy density and capacity. The down tube battery system is also complimented by a new innovation, the Dillenger controller guard. We've upgraded the display (KT3 LCD with satellite thumb controls), included a thumb throttle and e-brake hall effect sensors. Using the e-brake hall effect sensors, you can keep your existing break levers. Also included is the easy-to-install pedal assist cadence sensor, waterproof wiring harness and smart charger and all the parts needed to complete your conversion. We strongly suggest purchasing our Dillenger hub motor conversion toolkit and also a 1, 6, 7, 8 or 9 speed freewheel from Dillenger online with your kit purchase. This will save you a lot of time and hassle down the track! With your conversion kit, your freewheel sprocket and your hub motor toolkit, you'll have everything you need to complete the successful conversion of your plain old bike into an electric monster!
Samsung 29E
The perfect cell for this application needed to reliably handle the high drain of a powerful system over a thousand cycles. The Samsung 29E cell is a high energy cell which adds up to 560Wh of energy in the battery pack. The high powered conversion kits can discharge a huge amount of energy in a short time compared to a street legal kit, so it's essential to have a battery pack equal to the task. Direct drive hub motors draw a lot of amps on start up, so the demands on the battery are high. The awesome reliability and performance of the 29E 2,900mAh Samsung cells have been tried and tested and we're very pleased with the results. The pack is protected by an advanced BMS (battery management system) which monitors the heat, amp draw and voltage of the pack. The BMS balances the cells during charging and manages the discharge of the pack over your ride. The BMS ensures that the pack remains balanced over time and charges safely to deliver reliable use for the design life of the pack.
Universal high performance
As with all our conversion kits, the objective is to make the conversion as seamless as possible. You can download a scale PDF of the battery profile to make sure beyond any doubt that the battery will fit on your down tube and you can take a look at the installation manual (also above this text) to see exactly what's involved. The kit has been designed to be competently universal and easy to install for anyone. We've also make some changes to improve that. We've dropped the e-brake handles and opted for the e-brake sensors, which used to be an optional extra. We realized that most customers would prefer to keep their existing shifters and in some cases that was a necessity, not just a preference. With the e-brake sensors, you can use your existing levers and still have the safety benefit of e-brake power cut off (the controller cuts the power to the motor when you pull on the brakes). Most customers also purchased a thumb throttle so we changed the twist throttle to a thumb throttle. You also have the benefit then of using your existing grips. In this way the Dillenger kit blends around your existing bike, rather than changing it completely. Another improvement is the upgrade to the KT3 LCD display which features a larger LCD screen and a satellite thumb pad. The thumb pad controls the LCD (change the information displayed and the level of pedal assist from the motor) and now you don't have to take your hands off the grips to adjust this.
Patented controller guard/heatsink
One of the issues with off road conversion kits is that the controllers produce a lot of heat which needs to be dissipated efficiently. Hiding the controller away in a bag or in a box is just about the worst thing you could do with a hot controller. The only problem then is that no one makes a decent system for mounting the controller where it's also protected by mud, spray and debris. That is, until now! We've developed and patented (pending) our own controller guard which mounts the controller out of the way, under the down tube where there is plenty of air flow to keep it cool. The Dillenger controller guard allows air to move past the controller whilst also protecting it. The majority of cooling occurs by the conduction of heat from the controller case into the controller guard, which acts as an large heatsink. The guard is made of laser cut and anodized lightweight aluminium that can be easily adjusted by moving the various fins to suit your frame. It's easy to install and will protect your controller and improve the efficiency of the whole system.

- Great kit. Exactly as descibedReview by gerard

I have had the kit installed on my mountain bike for one month. Done 1100km without any problems. Can easily get to 40 kmh on the flat . Quiet and powerful and has made my 55km round trip commute easy.Price Overall Rating Functions as Described

I'd been thinking about electric bikes for some time but with a £1500 Scott Scale Elite MB sitting in the shed I couldn't justify spending £2k on a decent e-bike.Price Overall Rating Functions as Described
The solution was this 1000w rear hub kit. I had some fairly unique requirements which are;
I've not cycled properly for over 2 years
I'm a 20stone (280lbs) 6'3" 49 year old lump
I want to tow two dogs in a trailer on a daily 20mile round commute.
I didn't want to change anything on my bike such as ,,
So the kit adds about 23lbs, the dogs plus their trailer weighs over 50lbs so I'm adding over 70lbs to my bike and riding a 10mile commute with 800ft of climbing.
My first hitch was trying to find a 10speed freewheel to match my 10 speed shimano setup. I found one from Sunrace, nothing fancy but does the job.
My second hitch was that the kit is not supplied with torque arms which are a must for this kit. Without them the wheel can easily jump out of the dropouts under full power. The cadence sensor does not fit on my chain set type and the throttle is best positioned on the left in my opinion (in the UK), just makes the whole thing easier to ride.
Range wise just me will get 20miles (just) but bear in mind I'm unfit and a fat bastard, I can easily see this rising to 30-40 as I get lighter and fitter.
With full on dog trailer dogs and me the existing 19llb bike is trying to push and pull 350lbs up over 800ft of hills up to 18% gradient. Suffice to say I still have to pedal pretty hard but without the motor for me it would be impossible. Just me on the bike and it makes my commute a real pleasure and while work is still required it really takes the edge off the climbs. (Posted on 9/06/2016) - Loving itReview by NOR Perth

I'm a fairly big guy (115kg) I was debating between the 250w street legal kit and this - i'm glad I got this!Price Overall Rating Functions as Described
I have a 15km trip to work and I'm beating the traffic. Luckily there are off road bike tracks so I can stay off the radar. I use the pedelec mode level 3-4 and I glide along at 30+km/h for the duration of my trip. Real world peak 40km/h + with this kit. (Posted on 21/03/2016) - pretty pretty pretty goodReview by z

what i expected. great torque, battery life is what i expected. if you are <70kg you can follow the speed/distance stats, if you are considerably more it will not be quite same however 40km+ range when using pedals which should be enough. the torque is still great no matter how much weight you would conceivably have on the bike.Price Overall Rating Functions as Described
i'm not exactly sure how to rate the price as i am a new customer to this market. if the stats are correct then i shouldn't need to renew any major parts for at least 12-18 months of heavy use. (Posted on 18/02/2016) - One of the nicest looking hub drives!Review by Jason

This kit is so fast and mean looking, easy as any other kit to install. I've been waiting for Dillenger to bring out a frame battery for the 1000W kits, instead of the rear rack. So I jumped on this back when it was a pre order. Now I've been riding around for a month or so and all I can say is, if you're looking for an affordabe, high spec'd and fast kit. Get this one!
