Contents of a Complete Phoenix 4840 Kit
Complete systems from ElectricRider include everything you need to convert your pedal bike at home or at a bike shop, and we do a lot of the work for you. The wheel is laced to the motor and the batteries are wired. Every component we ship is tested just prior to shipment. Our goal is zero defects in our customers' hands.
Power System Only kits from ElectricRider include almost everything you need to convert your pedal bike at home or at a bike shop except batteries and charger. The wheel is laced to the motor. Every component we ship is bench tested just prior to shipment. If you do not have a battery and charger, order the complete kit rather than this Power System Only kit. Controllers for the Power System Only kit are supplied with no connector (just wires for + and -) to the batteries.
Here are pictures of individual PARTS for your perusal. You will also find hub system parts under parts categories.
| Motor | We offer several versions of Phoenix motors for various applications. Each motor's windings are designed for either torque (Brute), speed (Racer), or a combination of both (Cruiser). We offer all Phoenix motors in both front and rear. As of 6/1/2009, the Phoenix motors are also available with disc brake attachments. |
| Spokes | We use 12 gauge spokes on 20" and larger rims. Normal bike spokes are 14 gauge. Heavier spokes mean less spoke maintenance and a stronger wheel. |
| Rim | All Phoenix motors are available with 20", 24", 26", and 700C rims. All of these rims are double-walled. |
| Lacing | We lace the motor to the rim on our bench. We tighten the spokes to the correct tension, and make sure the wheel is true before shipping. |
| Controller | The 4840 system comes with a 48volt 40amp controller (1920 watts). The 4840 controller includes connections for cruise control and brake inhibits. |
| Throttle | You get your choice of any throttle we offer. If you do not specify, you will receive a thumb throttle with gauge. You can see pictures of all the throttles we offer on our parts page. If you have twist shifters, choose a thumb throttle because the shifters take the space on the handlebar used by other models. |
| Rack / Bag / Battery Brackets | We include a heavy duty rack and our custom battery brackets for low center of gravity and clean appearance. If you prefer, you may substitute a set of baskets and a bag for the rack and brackets. The bag has a top trunk portion, and 2 concealed panniers that fold out for more storage space. The batteries take up most of the pannier portion, while the trunk portion is completely empty for storage. |
| Batteries | Phoenix kits come with 12V 12AH batteries. The 48v kit has 4 batteries. If your kit is purchased from ElectricRider, your batteries will come pre-wired unless otherwise requested. You have the option to upgrade to any batteries we carry for only the difference in price. A higher amp hour battery pack increases range, but adds weight. |
|
Fuse Wire set Keyswitch Charger Port Connector to controller |
The wire set for a Phoenix system includes a 50amp fuse and fuse holder, charger port, key switch, jumper wires, and a 50amp Anderson power connector for the main power to the controller. This wire set is pre-made for easy installation and use. If you purchase your system from ElectricRider, we pre-wire your batteries using this wire set. This wire set also makes battery replacement a simple task. |
| Charger | Standard charger is a generic. You may upgrade to Joule or Soneil. The Joule brand is our best value, but for those who need reverse polarity protection and dual input voltage, Soneil is the best choice. For charge time, divide the AH (amp hour) rating of the battery by the amp rating of the charger. This will give you the approx. charge time in hours. For example, it would take 4 hours to charge a 12AH battery pack with a 3 amp charger. |
| Cruise Control / Brake inhibits (Included) |
Cruise control and brake inhibits are included as part of the Phoenix kits. The cruise control functions almost like the one in your car, except that it is not regulating speed, it is regulating current (amps). The brake inhibits are a safety feature that cut the power to the motor when a brake lever is pulled. We recommend you always use brake inhibits when using cruise control for safety reasons. |
| Spoke Wrench | We include a spoke wrench with all of our kits. The spoke wrench is a metal ring about 1" diameter that has notches cut out. Keep an eye out for this in your package as it is not obvious to most. The spoke wrench can usually be found packaged with the throttle unit. |
| Slime Tube (most sizes) | We supply a slimetube for all Phoenix wheel sizes except 700C. Slimetubes are self-healing tubes that contain a slime-like substance. This substance will fill any small puncture wound that may be created by thorns or other small objects. It will often fill the hole and dry before losing all the air, which can make the difference of whether you are riding or walking home. |
Things you may want to add:
Lights, speedometer, mirrors Lights and mirrors improve the safety of your
ride. A speedometer may turn out to be your best gauge of battery life,
particularly if you take the same route frequently. Please browse the selection
on our Accessories
page.
Since we assemble and package kits at our shop, we can make any substitution you desire. For instance, if you want 12AH batteries with a RoadRunner, we charge only the difference between the 10AH standard and the 12AH.
