An e-conversion kit is a type of device that converts traditional bicycles into electric bikes. The kit consists of a battery, motor, throttle, and all the necessary wiring components to make the bike run on electric power.

The best way to determine whether your bike is compatible with an e-conversion kit is to check the size and shape of the wheel and axle dimensions. Measurements should be compared against those given in the manufacturer's specification guide.

In most cases, yes. The installation process for an e-conversion kit requires some mechanical know-how and tools but it can typically be done at home without the need for professional help. However, if you have any doubts, it's best to consult a mechanic for assistance or take the bike to a qualified bicycle shop for proper installation.

Most modern kits come with either lithium-ion or lead acid batteries depending on their intended use. Both types offer different benefits when it comes to range, speed, weight and price point - so consider your needs before making your selection.

As with all electronic components, it’s important to regularly inspect the electrical connections and other components on your bike to ensure they’re secure and free from damage or wear and tear over time. Regular maintenance should also include keeping the battery charged between rides as well as cleaning both electrical contacts as often as needed (approximately once every few months).
