Tackle deep snow, soft beach sand, mud, and steep rugged trails with the heavy-duty 36V / 48V 500W & 750W Fat Tire Electric Bike Conversion Kit. Engineered specifically for 4.0-inch wide fat bike tires, this high-performance system features a high-torque brushless hub motor pre-built into a reinforced double-wall aluminum alloy rim with 12G heavy-duty spokes. Offering both 500W (up to 66 N·m torque) and ultra-powerful 750W (up to 85 N·m torque) options across 135mm Front, 170mm Rear, 170mm Cassette, and 190mm Rear dropouts, it transforms standard fat bikes into all-season, all-terrain electric powerhouses.
Key Features & Performance Advantages
-
Dual Power Choices (500W & 750W): Select the 500W motor for efficient trail and commuter riding (32–35 km/h, 59–66 N·m torque), or step up to the 750W motor for high-torque hill climbing and heavy terrain (35–40 km/h, 85 N·m torque).
-
Dedicated Fat Bike Geometry: Built to accommodate genuine fat tire spacing: 135–142mm front fork, 170mm rear dropout (standard fat bike), 170mm rear cassette freehub, and 190mm extra-wide rear dropout.
-
Ultra-Wide Double-Wall 8cm Rim: Heavy-duty double-layer aluminum rim with 36 spoke holes and thick 12G spokes, engineered to seat 20×4.0'', 24×4.0'', and 26×4.0'' tires at low psi.
-
Steep 35° Climbing Capability: High-efficiency planetary internal gear drive delivers immediate low-end torque to climb loose sand dunes and snow drifts with ease.
-
Standard Disc Brake Compatibility: Features 6-bolt disc brake mounting (44mm BCD) to accept 160mm, 180mm, or 203mm brake rotors.
Wheel Compatibility & Rim Construction
The 80mm wide rim profile is engineered to give 4.0-inch tires their optimal contact patch for maximum flotation over soft terrain. The rim includes precision cutouts to reduce rotational weight without sacrificing structural rigidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose the 500W or 750W motor version?
The 500W motor is ideal for moderate trails, beach riding, and daily commuting, offering speeds up to 35 km/h with 59–66 N·m of torque and lower battery consumption. The 750W version delivers a massive 85 N·m of torque and speeds up to 40 km/h, making it the top choice for heavy riders, steep hills, and deep snow or mud where maximum crawling power is essential.
How do I check my fat bike fork and rear dropout width?
Measure the inner distance between the axle slots. Fat bike front forks measure 135mm across. Rear dropouts on fat bikes are either 170mm or 190mm wide. If your rear frame measures 170mm, you can also select the 170mm Rear Cassette option if your bike uses a modern slide-on gear cassette.
What battery is recommended for the 750W motor?
For the 48V 750W kit, select a 48V lithium battery with at least 30A continuous discharge current (BMS rated at 30A or higher). Capacities between 14Ah and 20Ah provide approximately 40–80 km (25–50 miles) of riding range depending on terrain and assist level.
Can I install my existing disc brakes?
Yes. The hub motor features standard international 6-bolt disc brake mounting patterns (44mm bolt circle diameter), allowing you to mount your existing 160mm, 180mm, or 203mm rotor directly.
Does E Smart Way provide warranty and free shipping?
Yes, all conversion kits ordered through E Smart Way include responsive customer support, manufacturer warranty coverage, and free storewide shipping.
