1500W eBike Kit Conversion 48V–52V — Rear Hub Motor with Full Electronics

Complete Drivetrain Solution — Not a Partial Upgrade

The 1500W rear hub motor sits at the centre of this kit, and it defines everything about how this build performs. Brushless motor technology eliminates the friction, heat and wear associated with traditional brushed designs — there are no physical contact points between rotor and stator, power transfer is magnetic, clean and continuous.

The result is a motor that runs quietly, generates minimal heat under sustained load, and demands virtually zero routine maintenance — suited to steep gradients, loaded cargo builds and extended hard use on demanding terrain.

Dual Voltage — 48V and 52V Without Modification

Voltage compatibility is one of the most important considerations in any e-bike conversion build, and this motor handles both 48V and 52V without modification:

This dual compatibility makes the motor an excellent choice for staged builds — start with a 48V battery pack today, upgrade to a higher-capacity 52V system as your build evolves, with no changes to the core drivetrain.

36V–52V 35A Controller — Precision Power Management

Every kit lives or dies by the quality of its controller, and this one ships with a 36V–52V 35A unit tuned specifically for high-output hub motor applications. Running at 35A continuous, the controller manages motor phase switching with precision — power delivery is smooth and progressive across the entire throttle range, with no jerky step-up, no hesitation at low speed and no power drop-off at the top end.

The wide voltage range — 36V through to 52V — gives this kit exceptional battery compatibility, whether running a standard 48V downtube pack or a high-density 52V triangle battery. For builders looking to push beyond the included controller toward higher-amperage configurations, the 48V–72V 45A eBike Controller is a direct upgrade path that pairs cleanly with this motor platform.

Complete Kit — What’s Included

Every component needed for a complete rear hub motor conversion is included in the box — no separate sourcing, no compatibility hunting, no last-minute parts orders:

MTX Wheel Construction — Built for High-Power Applications

Both the rear hub motor wheel and the included front wheel are built on the MTX rim platform — a double-walled aluminium rim construction that has become the standard choice for high-power hub motor builds, precisely because it handles the elevated stress loads a 1500W motor generates far better than conventional single-wall alternatives.

Under high torque, standard rims flex, lose true and eventually fail. MTX rims maintain lateral stiffness, keep spoke tension consistent over time, and handle repeated hard acceleration without deformation — the kind of component-level detail that separates a properly specified kit from a cheap assembly.

Display, Throttle and Brake Cut-Off

SW900 Display and Twist Throttle

The SW900 display puts critical data in front of you in real time — current speed, battery level, assist mode selection, trip distance and odometer. The interface integrates seamlessly with the included controller — no configuration headaches, no compatibility issues. The full-grip twist throttle delivers precise, progressive control from rest to full power, with a response curve that pairs well with the 35A controller’s delivery characteristics.

Brake Cut-Off Integration

Brake cut-off levers integrate directly with the controller — the moment brake pressure is applied, motor power cuts instantly. A critical safety feature that also protects the motor from the stress of braking against active drive torque.

Where This Motor Sits in the All4eBikes Range

At this power level, the motor occupies a genuinely useful position — powerful enough to handle virtually any terrain a bicycle can physically traverse, while remaining compact enough to install on a standard frame without structural modification. Hub motor format keeps installation simple: lace the wheel, bolt the axle, wire the controller, ride.

For a lower-output starting point, the 500W 36V–48V motor provides useful context on where this kit sits in the wider performance range. For builders ready to step up, the 2000W 48V–72V motor is the natural next progression.
