I was referred to your shop from someone on a forum, and I&#8217;m hoping you can help me. I&#8217;m looking to convert my Trail 8 bike to a rear-wheel electric. I have very little understanding of mechanics, bike parts, and measurements so finding a kit that is the right size for my bike has been very difficult. I am confident that I can install the kit if I have the right one. If you don&#8217;t mind could you please have a look at my bike&#8217;s specifications and tell me which specific kit will fit my bike? I&#8217;m very motivated to purchase one. Thank you!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A: Not sure it&#8217;s 27.5&#8243; or 29 inch? (27.5 inch rim is smaller than 29 inch rim)<\/p>\n<p>If tire size is 29 x 2.25&#8243; &#8212; All of our 29 inch hub motor kits are fit for this tire.<\/p>\n<p>How to choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafbike.com\/products\/diy-bike-conversion-kit\/\">bike conversion kit<\/a>?<br \/>\n1. Check tire size, there is some words on tire (from picture,we can&#8217;t find tire size)<br \/>\nFor example: if there is \u00a029 x 2.25&#8243;<\/p>\n<p>29 inch wheel size, 2.25&#8243; is tire width&#8230;<br \/>\nAll of our 29 inch hub motor fit for this 29 x 2.25&#8243; tire<\/p>\n<p>2. check front or rear fork width<br \/>\nFor example: the dropout of this bike is 135mm (can&#8217;t find this info on your link)<br \/>\nAll of our rear hub motor kits with max 7 speed fit for this 135mm rear dropout<br \/>\n(If you hope install 8 speed,9 speed.. the dropout should be a little larger than 135mm, if fork dropout can be a little large, to be 140mm, install 8 speed,9 speed on our rear hub motor is no problem)<\/p>\n<p>Generally just 1 &#038; 2 both fit for.. mount this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafbike.com\/products\/diy-bike-conversion-kit\/\">hub motor kit<\/a> to your bike is no problem.<\/p>\n<p>(Nearly all of this kind bike&#8217;s rear dropout is 135mm or a little larger.. install is no problem)<\/p>\n<p>21 speed is okay.<br \/>\nFront is 3 speed, rear is 7 speed..<\/p>\n<p>Our 29 inch rear hub motor with 7 speed is fit for standard 135mm dropout.<\/p>\n<p>(Some bike rear has 8 speed or 9 speed..)<\/p>\n<p>Q: Ah okay I think I get it now. Sorry for my questions this is out of my knowledge area. So it looks like https:\/\/www.leafbike.com\/products\/diy-bike-conversion-kit\/29-inch-48v-52v-1500w-rear-wheel-electric-hub-motor-kit-1065.html is going to be the one for me. I&#8217;ll make sure on that fork size tomorrow and check with my bike shop if they think the dropouts are sturdy enough. Just a couple more questions &#8211; do you have a 48V battery recommendation? And there an installation guide with the kit?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Good evening.
