The Crystalyte Sparrow Electric Bike Kit is perfect for converting your teen's pedal bicycle, into an efficient and fun electric bicycle. The Crystalyte Sparrow line of Electric Bike Kits is the first kit that you should be looking into. Crystalyte Electric Bike Kits are produced for many different uses, and the Sparrow is a good beginner kit, for a young or old family member. The Crystalyte Sparrow Electric Bike Kit is still very powerful, and will carry an average sized rider, up to 25 mph, for distances as far as 18 miles distance on a single charge. This range is for battery power only, so if you pedal, and use the Sparrow hub motor sparingly, your range is unlimited! The Crystalyte Sparrow Electric Bike Kit is able to fit, 16" wheels, all the way up to 26" wheels. The Sparrow Electric Bike Kit is also available in front, or rear wheel drive. When you choose the right Crystalyte Electric Bike Kit for your bike type, and riding style, you can have the freedom to pedal around until you are tired, and then use the motor to help assist you. Your range will be greatly increased because you will only be using the electric power when needed, as opposed to all of the time. The Crystalyte Sparrow Electric Bike Kit is also offered in two different voltage outputs. You can order the smaller 3640 controller for 36 volts and 10 amp hours, or you can get the more powerful 4840 controller to bump the voltage to 40 volts and 10 amp hours. This controller upgrade is the difference between 900 watts, and 1200 watts. The brushed hub motor that comes with the Sparrow electric bike kit is good for, up to 3,000 miles before you need to service the brushes. One of the benefits, of the Sparrow hub motors, over the higher powered Phoenix line of Crystalyte electric bike kits, is the range advantage of the smaller brushed type motors. The Sparrow Electric Bike Kit is capable of travelling longer distances than the high powered Phoenix line, but you have less top speed. The Phoenix motors are capable of almost 40 mph, though, so Phoenix motors are not recommended to inexperienced riders. I think that the Crystalyte Sparrow Electric Bike Kit is the best way to get up and moving, efficiently, reliably, and most of all having fun. You will be able to rest if you are tired, or pedal if you are feeling a bit out of shape. Either way, you will have another vehicle at your house that can take you wherever you need to go, within the motor's range capabilities. The quality is the best part about the Crystalyte electric bike kits. They are strong, reliable, made in the U.S.A., and the most fun you can have on an electric bike.
