Electric Hub Motor 26" used - 0 views

  •  
    This is the Pheonix Brute. Otherwise known as the Crystalite 5305. It's a front motor laced to a 26" mountain rim. It has 460 miles exactly on the motor You will need a controller, battery and throttle. This is for a 48 or 72 volt system. I found it to be a little too much power for a front wheel drive. Might be more appropriate for a pedicab or power push trailer etc. These retail for 470.00. If you want to buy the entire power system from me, I'll sell it for 595.00 (motor, controller, throttle) Then you just need a battery. Please do your homework before emailing. Here is a link for more info: http://www.electricrider.com/crystalyte/phoenix.htm
