What is an electric bicycle kit?

An electric bicycle kit is a system for electrifying a bicycle. It is also referred to as a electric motor or electric assistance kit. 

These kits often include a pedalling sensor, a controller to manage the assistance and the cables to connect the different elements.

Much cheaper than conventional electric bikes, they too allow effortless pedalling, but they are not always easy to install and handle.

How is the Teebike wheel different?

Unlike a "classic" electric bicycle kit, the Teebike wheel has a easy to install. The motor unit and lithium battery are integrated into the wheel hub. 

There are no connections to be made with this VAE kit which fits almost all bikes. To install it, just unscrew the front wheel of your bike and fit the Teebike wheel instead. 

Wheel assembly takes only 5 minutes and is accessible to all cyclists. However, if you prefer to have it professionally installed at home, this is also possible thanks to our partnership with Cyclofix. 

The Teebike application installed on your smartphone allows you to choose from three levels of electric assistance. The wheel receives instructions via a Bluetooth connection. There is also a boost function to help you start without pedalling.

For safety reasons, a pedal sensor simply attached to the crankset allows you to start the electric assistance when you start pedalling and stop it when you brake.

Your bike with an electric motor also has a burglar alarm which is activated with one click via the app when you park. If the wheel detects movement, it beeps to deter potential thieves. 

By converting your bike into an electrically assisted bike, you are more comfortable on climbs and long distances. Now you can commute to work without breaking a sweat and cycle with a smile!

How do I check the compatibility of the Teebike EAB kit with my bike?

The Teebike wheel is an electrification kit compatible with all types of bikesIt can be used with all types of bicycles, whether you have a city bike, a mountain bike or even a mountain bike. Under certain conditions it is also compatible with a tandem, scooter or cargo bike. 

Several sizes are available depending on the size of your tyre. 

1. Fork spread

The space between the two fork arms of your bike should be wide enough to prevent the engine block of the Teebike wheel from rubbing. 

You should check that you have at least 8 cm between your two fork arms, and this, on a minimum height of 15 cm.

In general, U-, T- or suspension forks are not a problem, but V- or tapered forks, which are common in mountain bikes, are not adaptable. 

2. The braking system

You have a bike with shoe or disc brakes? It's perfect ! Each Teebike wheel comes with a disc in case you need it. 

However, the Teebike wheel is not compatible with drum brakes or back-pedalling system specific to the holland bike or Dutch bike. The installation of this system prevents the installation of this brake system.

3. The type of axis

The Teebike wheel is incompatible with cross-axis bicycles. 

The fork must be with an open and classic system. After disassembling your wheel, the space between the fork arms must be empty in order to be able to integrate the Teebike engine block which is in the centre of the wheel.
