The nano-motor™
The nano- motor™ is an electric bike kit designed to convert your existing bicycle into a smooth, quiet, powerful electric bicycle. Based on our small yet powerful nano™ hub motor the nano™ gives the rider the extra assistance that takes out the effect of hills and headwinds, enabling you to arrive at your destination without the sweat!
