Built with pride in Bethlehem, PA.

Serving the eBike Community for 10 Years, Bicycle Motor Works' formula for producing premium eBike Battery Packs is quite simple, yet quickly diminishing in a world of mass production.

Unlike other brands, we set High Quality Standards for every stage of the development, production, materials and distribution process.

Quality Products Require Time to Produce.

Unlike other brands that are mass produced under high stress conditions in some non-disclosed overseas factory; Bicycle Motor Works produces every pack in Bethlehem,PA, ensuring thorough attention to each one. This process is time consuming, which is why their customers are willing to wait 2-3 weeks to receive their high current battery order.

Matt B. Shares Some Secret Sauce.

We are strong believers in "overbuilding" our packs, for one example we use 0.5mm thick copper busbars spotwelded to connect each series. Most packs available today use 0.15mm nickel or in some cases nickel plated steel. Even if a pack is built with quality cells and a high current BMS, the performance can still be underwhelming if series connections are made with thin strips of nickel.

Three battery packs of different sizes.

Copper is 5X More Conductive than Nickel.

Therefore a pack would have to use nickel that is approx. 2.5mm thick to equal the current capacity of our packs. For reference, 2.5mm is thicker than the lead that runs through a #2 pencil.

Current travels through our Packs effortlessly. Because we build our packs with thick copper connectivity, there is little resistance. A pack with the same cells, using thin nickel, will have a lot of resistance in a high current situation.

Resistance equals heat and wasted energy.

Heat is the #1 reason for faster cell degradation and a shorter pack life. You will also experience greater voltage sag and less capacity with packs that use higher resistant nickel for series connections.

All of our packs are well protected.

The “shark” cases that we use are from the premier case manufacturer, Reention. The “brick” style cases that we are known for are also VERY durable. After the pack is built, we pad the entire surface then cover it in a hard shell of super-strong Garolite.

Garolite is an industrial grade fiberglass material.

It is created using high-pressure and high temps. Garolite is electrically insulating, puncture resist, fire resistant, and very rigid. We then cover the shell with thick, rubber shrink wrap to add another layer of protection.
