Thinking about converting your bike to electric? You're not alone — e-bike conversion kits are one of the fastest-growing ways to get into electric riding without buying a brand new e-bike. But with so many wattage options available, it can be hard to know which kit is right for you.
In this guide, we break down the key differences between 2000W, 3000W, and 5000W conversion kits so you can make the right choice for your riding style, budget, and local laws.
What Does Wattage Actually Mean?
Wattage refers to the rated power output of the hub motor. Higher wattage means more torque, faster acceleration, and higher top speeds. However, it also means higher battery consumption and, in some cases, legal restrictions depending on your state or territory in Australia.
2000W Conversion Kit — Best for Commuters
A 2000W kit is the sweet spot for everyday riders. With a top speed of around 60–80 km/h and a silent sine wave controller, it's smooth, quiet, and efficient. It fits most standard bike frames and is the easiest to install.
Best for: Daily commuting, flat to moderate terrain, riders new to e-bike conversions.
3000W Conversion Kit — Best for Performance Riders
Step up to 3000W and you get significantly more torque and a top speed of 80–90 km/h. The 60A FOC controller delivers smooth power delivery even at high speeds. This is the kit for riders who want real performance without going full extreme.
Best for: Hilly terrain, heavier riders, riders who want speed and range.
5000W Conversion Kit — Best for Maximum Power
The 5000W kit (with 7000W peak) is built for riders who want the absolute most from their conversion. With a 100A programmable FOC controller and speeds up to 90+ km/h, this is as close to a motorbike as a bicycle conversion gets.
Best for: Off-road, performance builds, experienced riders who know what they're doing.
