After looking at some of the new stuff coming out of China and trying to get a "claimed" powerful mid drive system that I could put on my 2001 Brodie 8 ball.
One company turned me down and told me their motor was only being sold as part of their bike and not alone.
Since it was so powerful it would be a liability.
I did mention I would sign a waiver
And mentioned I once rode moto GP bikes and superbikes, (and still do) so an electric bike motor ? wouldn't be a problem for me.
... But to no avail.
I didn't feel like going back and forth anymore with e-mail 3 days after I sent one anyway.
So, I spent my money 100% Local and it all stays right here in Canada.
What an awesome choice it was too. I picked up the phone and got the owner of "Kranked E bikes" right away.
Easy, peasy. Drove down and met him.
No planed obsolescence here, This stuff is built like a tank and to last.
Bjorn Enga the owner of Kranked E bikes was awesome to deal with. He knows his stuff.
He showed me every step of a system build. All the hardened gears, all the CNC'd stuff, the super well built parts..everything.
Quality, quality everywhere I looked.
Expensive, but worth every penny.
I gave him my 8 ball bike and he gave me back a total MONSTER.
This thing has so much climbing torque. It doesn't matter if it's uphill or flat, it goes just the same. You don't have to pedal at all if you don't feel like it.
These guys build bikes that head back up mountains after you ride down them. So they know the deal.
Tons of R&D time too. He's been in the business for many years.
My package comes with a top quality backpack that has a built in back protector, A large battery and a charger.
He added Race Face crank arms and pedals as part of this package. And race face grips.
Even gave me copies of the crazy extreme Downhill bike movies he's made over the years. "Kranked 1-8"
Overall, I'm super impressed with Bjorn, his shop and the attention to detail done at Kranked E bikes.
Best yet, I can put this system on a different bike too in the future.
And I'm glad my money stayed here.
