EcoSpeed is the leading maker of mid-drive type electric assists for bicycles. Mid-drives give more performance for a given motor and battery weight and, unlike hub motors, don't create drag when you just want to pedal.
We are also the only maker of electric assists that pays attention to the wide variety of bikes and trikes that people ride. Whether you have a high performance road bike, suspended mountain bike, Dutch bakfiet cargo bike, recumbent bike or trike, or even a fully enclosed velomobile, we probably have an assist that will work with your ride.

At EcoSpeed, we make high-performance electric bicycle conversion kits.
With the patented Electric Mid-Drive kit that we manufacture and now
the Electric Mountain Drive, our customers can turn high quality
bicycles from other manufacturers into high performance
electric-assisted bicycles.
Our electric conversions are made with extreme attention to detail and
quality. The systems are designed to compliment the styling of your
bike. 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 and Mountain Drive is that
they drive a bike's chain. This allows the motor to "see" most or all
of a 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 bicycle equipped with one of our drives 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 drive systems there's absolutely 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 or EMtnD, a 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 up to 20 times better than an electric car or gas scooter.
After more than 3 years of intense development work EcoSpeed's
Velociraptor Intelligent Motor Controller is now used on all of our systems. US made
using state of the art power electronics and software based motor
control it is the most advanced e-bike controller available today. All
of our systems are now shipping with the high performance and high
reliability Velociraptor controller.
If you've looked at electric assists from other manufacturers, you
might notice that EcoSpeed is different. We don't just buy cheap hub
motors from Asia or try to make a one size fits all generic conversion
kit.
We design our systems ourselves and make the critical components in the
US. Exact Fit Technology™ is our term for electric assist systems that
fit your bike exactly, like they were installed at the factory.
Advanced US manufacturing lets us do this. We create parts by computer
with turnaround times measured in days. If we don't have the proper
parts to fit your bike, we can often just make them.
Exact fit means no U-bolts or flat plates that can crush thin walled
bicycle frames. Precision machined Exact Fit Technology clamps and
brackets spread forces evenly over a wide area to eliminate any
possibility of frame damage.
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.
