The Crystalyte Cannon (front) and Crystalyte Journey (rear) systems are light, powerful and easy to install electric bicycle kits. The 36V Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMh) battery fits centrally on your bicycle bottle holder. The 20A brushless dc motor controller puts out 500W or 2/3 horsepower. The motor is a new design from Crystalyte and provides a convenient 9mm dropout for mounting on everything from hybrids to mountain bikes. The systems are available for 20", 24", 26" and 700c wheel bikes front or rear (depending on current stock). The 20" wheels are ideal for recumbent and folding bicycles.

Installation

An easy to follow installation guide with step-by-step instructions is provided in the kit.

We recommend that you check out our fitting guide to make sure the Crystalyte kit will fit your bike. We recommend using the thumb throttle option if your bicycle has an integrated brake and gear shifter.
