Now that winter is coming on, many of you hearty souls ride your bikes in the snow and ice. The question you might have is, "can I use the Hill Topper electric bicycle kit on snow and ice?"
Yes you can! You can get studded tires and use your converted ebike, many do. Of course, you must be careful and never go too fast! I would say this is for more experienced bikers, but that's just me.
As to the battery in cold weather, it should be fine. For very cold temps however, go ahead and wrap it up. The hub motor should not have any problems with the cold.
You can get your Hill Topper discount to purchase your kit here (it will load into your shopping cart automatically when you check out, and shop studded bike tires here at Amazon.
Stay safe and warm this winter!

What You Get With A Hill Topper Electric Bike Kit
Okay..so what do you get with a Hill Topper Electric Bike Conversion Kit?
For $399 you get a complete wheel; tube, tire and rim and motor. You will be replacing your front wheel on your bike, so you select what size you will need when you order; and yes, they can customize or help you do it if you have an odd size bike or want a special hook up).
The wheel has the motor on it, a sealed (protection from the elements) hub motor that is brushless, 250watt, 24 volts that goes up to 15mph.
Battery pack (10 mile), on/off grip switch and 110-240v (50-60hz) auto shut off battery charger.
There are 2 wires from the wheel, one to the battery pack that you attach to a convenient spot on your bike (I put mine behind my seat) and the on/off switch which you attach to the handle bar for easy reach. That's it. Takes just a few minutes to put it on and you are ready to roll!
They also have batteries for longer distances, 20 mile and 40 mile and of course, they cost more.
The shipping is usually around $25-$30 dollars.
I have logged about 680 miles so far on mine, and have had no problems. I now ride 3 times a week, 20 miles each. I only use the battery when I need to, up hills or for a bit of assistance if I get tired (sometimes I stop at the store or library and so am hauling a little more weight.).
I am 64 years old, and would highly recommend this to other seniors or people who would not get their exercise otherwise. I am in much better shape before I got this and honestly, my bike would be still gathering rust in the shed without the electric bike kit!
With the holiday's coming up, some of you might consider this for a gift! Don't forget to use this code to get a discount at checkout when you buy one at Clean Republic (or if you call in your order, tell them you have it) discount code is: lisaolson
Happy Biking!

How To Use The Hill Topper Electric Bike Kit To Avoid Problems
One thing I have heard from people who are afraid to try the Hill Topper electric bike kit, is that they heard the bike might go too fast for them, or that the battery will not last long. Most problems like that happen because people have not used the electric motor properly.
You should only engage the motor after you have started moving, after you started pedaling, and then only use it when you need to, like going up hills or inclines that are difficult for you.
You should turn it off as soon as you get up to a comfortable speed, and when going down hill. Sometimes I get tired, even on small inclines (I am 64 years old and have a bad back) so I might just turn it on just long enough to give my pedaling a boost to ease the strain. Kind of like a "hit" of power now and then. You don't have to move at 15mph; you CAN control your speed to one that is comfortable for you.
Although I have had the Hill Topper on my old bike for quite awhile, I just recently committed myself to a riding program of riding 20 miles 3 times a week. Now that I am riding on a schedule, I am getting in better shape, and know how to use the Hill Topper more effectively.
I always have plenty of "juice" left in the battery after my 20 mile ride, even though I probably use it more than a younger or more fitter person. And because I don't over use it while riding, or use it when not pedaling, the battery will have a longer life.
Remember, for long battery life, never use the battery when you are not pedaling!
Check out this video for a good explanation:
Rode 20 miles 3 times last week and lost another 5 lbs. So, after 2 weeks of eating right (lots of fresh fruit, yogurt and low on fat dinners) and riding my bike with the assistance of the Hill Topper electric bike kit, I have lost 8 pounds!I never thought I could do this, but it's easy and becoming a part of my routine I really enjoy!
Increased my route and did 20 miles today! The Hill Topper electric bike kit is still working beautifully! I stopped at the library and filled up my baskets with books and make it home in less than a hour.It's funny, I have driven my car on this route so many times, yet I never saw all the interesting houses or landscapes before. That's the thing about riding a bike, especially when you are not having to peddle when you are tired, you can really enjoy your surroundings.
Pulling a trailer behind your back is so much easier with a Hill Topper!
