Designed and built to last using the best materials. Easy to maintain and fix due to modular design. Oil bathed reduction gears over engineered to handle the extreme torque! They will never wear out. Batteries can be upgraded at any time. No proprietary sizing or sourcing. Our early motors from over 10 years ago are all still working great! Other motor brands can not make this claim! www.krankedbikes.com

Power to Weight

The Hyperdrive has a max 137w/kg vs 33 w/kg (emtb) power to weight ratio. This means that although the system may be heavier than others it produces a lot more power for its weight. In all motorized racing , the power to weight is the important performance figure.

Variable Power - watch the video!

Like a Car, the Hyperdrive can be ridden slowly or quickly. It can be tuned to be anywhere between 500 watts to 2500 watts continuous. Allowing you to start gentle and gradually increase the power as you desire. The Hyperdrive was made to enhance the performance of the top end mountain bikes, so it is has the capabilities to be tuned for peak performance generating a peak wattage of 3500 watts for more experienced riders. www.krankedbikes.com

Total Rider Control

Our throttle activated power puts the rider in total control of how at any moment you choose to ride your Hyperdrive bike. Pedal with no power (analog), pedal with as much or as little power as needed (pedal assist), power with no pedalling (moto). We believe the rider should be in control of the inputs of the bike giving the rider total control in all terrain. www.krankedbikes.com

1/4 of all E-MTBmotors have failed and been replaced under warranty. Warranty is typically 2 years. Bosch eBike Systems plans to hold parts available for up to 6 years...

At Kranked we have never had to warranty a motor! Built in Canada by hand, over engineered with lots of testing!

More importantly we want to manufacture sustainably, which means that our motors are designed to be used for lifetimes!

This video below shows a serious problem in today's e-mtb market.

Across several datasets, between 20 and 40% of riders reported eBike motor failures serious enough to require a complete replacement. So... I went on a quest...

2015 Santa Cruz BicyclesV10 E2 Superdrive is still riding strong - and let me tell you this bike has been ridden hard for the last 11 years here on the Sunshine Coast. It was a game changing bike for me, (Bjørn). The designer Nick Anderson and the Santa Cruz team really made a marvellous DH bike that with electric power became a bike that allowed me to ride fast all the time and therefore get way stronger as a rider. It redefined riding so you could "uphill the downhills" which I did often on this bike in the early, early mornings. (Maybe at Whistler on occasion).

Super proud to be making electric mountain bikes that are running as well as when they were made. 11 years later. Thanks Gerald for riding this one~!
