New for 2009

Check out our video by documentary filmmaker Milt Lee of Hollow Bone Films. Also, if you're in the market for one of our systems, now is a great time to order. We're overstocked on advanced 10Ah and 20Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries that we need to sell by year end. These won't be on sale again for a long time.

Also, as you will see in the film, we're working on our own EcoSpeed designed motor controller. The controller is the heart of any electric drive system, analogous to the engine computer and fuel injection system on a car. The EcoSpeed controller will be the most advanced on the market with features never before seen on electric bikes. We'll unveil more as the introduction date nears.

Why Recumbent Bikes?
What our Customers are Saying
Why Electric Mid-Drive?
Meanwhile, if you buy one of our BMC systems, you can exchange your BMC controller for an EcoSpeed controller and get a 100% credit for the price of the BMC. Basically that means you can upgrade to the new controller and all you will pay is any price difference between your BMC equipped system and the new one. The offer is good for all of next year no matter how much you've used your system.

About EcoSpeed

At EcoSpeed, we make high-performance electric bicycle conversion kits. With the patented Electric Mid-Drive™ kit that we manufacture, our customers can turn high quality recumbent bicycles from other manufacturers into high performance electric-assisted recumbents.

Our electric conversions are made with extreme attention to detail and quality. The systems are designed to compliment the styling of your bike. No one size fits all here. Parts are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for rock solid durability and then anodized for sharp appearance and scuff resistance. We use the largest motors the law allows with external controllers to shed heat efficiently and crank out the power reliably.

The key feature of our Electric Mid-Drive is that it mounts between a recumbent bike's bottom bracket and rear cassette. This allows the motor to "see" most or all of the bike's gear range. What that means is that performance is radically increased compared to single speed drives such as hub motors. You can climb any hill and go as fast or faster than the law allows -- all with a small and light motor that doesn't detract from pedaling performance.

A recumbent bicycle equipped with our Electric Mid-Drive is outrageously fun. Accelerate through the gears like a motorcycle then shut the motor down and cruise in silence holding your speed with the pedals alone. With our fully decoupled mid-drive there's absolutly no motor drag when it's shut off. When you come to a hill touch the throttle again and sail up without ever shifting or slowing your cadence. Fly around corners under power. Just be careful not to strain your cheek muscles from grinning too much.

With the EcoSpeed EMD, a recumbent bike has enough performance to match a car in around town driving. That means you can forget about high gas prices -- you can go over 500 miles on a dollars worth of electricity. That's even up to 20 times better than an electric car or gas scooter.

Electric bikes are legally bikes and can be ridden in bike lanes and on bike trails in most locations. That means big safety advantages over motorcycles and scooters because you don't have to mix with automobiles. Or, get caught in traffic.


† Offer good while supplies last for all orders placed by 12/24/2008. 25% off of 15Ah and 20Ah BMS equipped LiFePO4 battery systems. 40% off of 10Ah LiFePO4 battery system with BMS in charger. Must purchase any EMD kit at he same time. Battery system includes battery, case, charger, and mounting hardware.

* Legal maximum speeds for electric bicycles vary by jurisdiction. To use these higher speeds, you may need to register your bike as a moped, operate off road only, or stay under the radar, literally. In practice though, in most locations pollution free transport is encouraged and no one seems to notice if you go a bit fast now and then. Just be courteous to other road users and especially pedestrians.
