So finally got to measuring up the dimentions of the fork that will take the hub motor and it seem it is too small not by much the hub motors i have seen all require 98mm and fork on the chair only has 95mm. I could posisble get by. The bigger issue is theholes for the axel. These need to be...

Seem to be settling on this option. WOuld i be better to buy the motor and controller seperate or just go all in with this one...

The rear push ones are not compatiable with the chair we have. Getting so many idea on here and at a fraction of the price. For a complete novice like me something like this might work as posted before with all the bit minus a battery...

Ah That sound interesting. My use case is that in some cases we would end up pushing and controlling the whole thing. Could you put a switch selector so you could choose which one was passing through the signal

I have friend with a front wheel drive add on and yes wheels spins and stuggles on up hill roads. Although her unit can do something like 20mph it is very fast too fast if you ask me.

Well steering it take care off already. Essentially I'm trying to add the e kit part to one of these and save some money.

Next question to add to my list. Can you set up dual throttle controlls? Eg given this is a wheelchair could my son have one and once he get to tried could there be one on the push handle that mum and dad could use.

Just wanted to say thanks again for the advice from this form. Some really interesting ideas that could well save me a fortune and perhaps make a better solution. I like the brake sensor idea that was suggest. I also read around that some of these can use a cruse control so you don;t have...

Thanks for this link it looks good.

Thanks so much for this may give it a go. So more research needed and i need to find out how wide the drop outs are on the wheel mount. Yet more questions what is a brake sensor kit " an ebike kit for brake sensors and perhaps a trigger throttle." IThe kits they fit to the chair can be in 2...

This gave me some idea of what to search for in terms of pre made kits. You can get the third wheel addons that typically fit to the front of wheelchair. The though occured to me one of these kits minus the frame could work by mounting it on the rear. I'll keep looking

Not suree, new to all this and not really sure what I'm doing. So from that point of view don;t want to buy stuff that is not suitable. Also don;t want to make a dangerous chair for my son. I have the chair already just looking at option for the E kit and trying to see if it would save money...

Your not wrong about the price tag that get attached to these type of chairs. The office kit to purchase is over £3000 which covered all the bits you need as well as bracket for the bettery. It is one reason I'm seeing if i could do something similar for a fraction of the price. As for break...

Thanks for the comments. I suppose it is possible the company have had the system customised for them. Obviously it's not being used as a bike. And I think they limit it to lower spee as it is being used on a chair. Thanks

Hi Bit of a long shot and I was hoping a forum like this might be able to help. A somewhat ebike related question in that I'm looking to find and source an Ebike kit for a wheelchair. A similar set up uses one of these controllers from KT but i have been unable to find a direct example online...
