I knew virtually nothing about scooters but was shopping for one for my son in college. I had contacted many places and still had no clue. When I called a2b scooters, I got great service. I believe his name was Jeff, told me about the different types and what would work best for my son. He saved me money on shipping even though I needed it asap. What a great company and even better customer service. You can't go wrong buying from them!! This is a company you can trust.

Phoenix Electric Bike Conversion Kits

(go to kits & prices) (read about 3 motors) (see disclaimer) (see note on frames)

The Phoenix is the most powerful motor available for a bike. Period. The Phoenix Racer can power your bike up to 36 MPH and the Phoenix Brute can tackle any San Francisco style hill you throw at it!

Our kits include motor mounted in wheel, speed controller, key switch, connectorized wiring, fuse, batteries, charger, throttle with gauge (thumb or twist - your choice), wire ties, rack, battery bag, cruise control, brake inhibits. There is nothing else to buy. Kits from A2B Scooters come pre-wired. It couldn't be easier unless you brought your bike to a shop.

Phoenix front motors are available on 20 inch, 24 inch, 26 inch, and 700cm wheels. Rear 7-speed wheels are available in 26 inch. Other wheel sizes available by special order. Width is 100mm for front wheels, and 135mm for rear 7-speed wheels. Weight is 23.5 pounds. The axle is 9mm in diameter.

There are three motors in the Phoenix Series. They are all brushless motors and are the same physical size. They can be used with either 36 volt 40 amp (3640) or 48 volt 40 amp (4840) controllers.

Here are 3 brief and hopefully helpful descriptions explaining the key differences of the motors:

Phoenix Racer: Choose the Racer when you want high speeds and ride on hard surfaces with "normal" grades, or have a small wheel diameter. The motor is wound more for speed than torque, yet it reaches 36 MPH in 19 seconds and will spin easily in gravel or road debris with the 4840 controller. We recommend a racing slick (which you may purchase separately) to take sustained high speed and reduce rolling resistance.

Phoenix Cruiser: Choose the Cruiser when you have long steep hills or do not want or need the speed of the Racer. Cruiser reaches 30 MPH in 13 seconds, and will sustain its top speed under more varying conditions. The Cruiser with the 4840 controller actually gains a little speed on our test hill. This is an extreme hill that even the Racer will not climb without some pedaling.

Phoenix Brute: Choose the Brute when you have extreme hills, pull a trailer, or do not want the speed of the Cruiser. With the 4840 controller, it reaches its top speed of 25 MPH in 11 seconds.

Disclaimer: These systems exceed power and speed limits established by the federal law that defines a bicycle, so ride on-road at your own risk. We give you choices, but you must use good judgment. Choose a bike with good brakes, inspect them often, and replace worn shoes or pads as needed. You'll be putting a lot more miles on your electric bike than a pedal bike, and brakes become very important at the speeds you will reach.
