A review from outdoorwebsite.com:
Wilderness Energy is a relatively new company to hit the market with their electric bicycle conversion kit plus other items they manufacture. However, they have obviously looked at existing available electric bikes and put together a conversion kit that is very impressive. I purchased a 21 speed mountain bike and installed the W-energy kit on it. I have done some testing on it and was very impressed with the results. The individual items in this kit have also been manufactured to take a lot more punishment than the average person would subject the bike to. I tested the overall speed of the W-energy kit against the Pro Drive kit and they are very close but the W-energy kit is a tad faster. The test was done in electric drive mode no pedaling.
If your buying the kit for maximum distance then your best to have it mounted on a 15, 18 or 21 speed bike. By that I mean, one has more control over how much energy you pull from the battery. I took my 21 speed bike with the W-energy kit on it and I have pushed it out to a distance of 21 miles on a single charge. That is with there standard battery. Wilderness energy also have an extended battery option that can be purchased and they claim it can go 30 plus miles on a single charge. Since there standard battery held true for the distance they claim I have no reason not to believe the extended battery can accomplish what they claim. Of course distance is dependent on your weight, type of terrain and how much or how little you use the motor. On the test I was only using the motor when I really had to hills and every so often a break from pedaling. I might also add if I would have been using my 6 speed bike instead for this test I would not have gone the 21 miles on the one charge.
The electric bike gives me the ability to run most short and medium range errands thus I keep my pickup parked which saves gas and mileage. I also get all the exercise I need and it comes with having fun with plenty of fresh air and changing scenery. The bike has also turned out to be a very enjoyable way of getting into the outdoors. I used the electric bike for blueberry picking, fishing trips and exploring old back roads and trails. The electric bike is also a excellent mode of transportation to go hunting with. I prefer to walk old roads & trails and the bike gives me the ability to cover a lot more ground.
The Wilderness Energy electric bicycle conversion kit has good torque and acceleration once you are rolling.
The W-energy kit is extremely easy to install. In my opinion the Wilderness Energy kit is another excellent product and the price is very reasonable.

FAQ's:
How fast will my bike go with the Bike Electrified Kit installed?
Using the BL36 kit on a 26" wheel, your bike will reach a top speed of 20 mph. On a 24" wheel - 18 mph, and 20" wheel = 16 mph.
If you are thinking about purchasing a bike to install your Bike Electrified kit on, keep this in mind: different wheel sizes will give you different speed/torque performance. So, you should decide what is more important to you: top speed, or acceleration/hill climbing ability. If you're going to be climbing San Francisco type hills every day, then you should probably get a 20" bike. On the other hand, if you live in Kansas, a 26" or 700C would be better since you will cruise along at 22+ mph. Smaller wheels = torque, larger wheels = high top end speed.
How far can my Wilderness Energy Kit go?
With the BL36 kit, we like to use the formula: 20/20, which means your bike will go 20 mph for 20 miles, but that is under the following conditions: 26" wheel with thin, slick street tires, 150 lb. rider, flat riding terrain, and no stops or starts. In the real world, you will probably get 15 miles per battery pack charge with the standard battery pack, and about 10 miles more (25 miles +) with the extended range battery pack. The BD36 will have 35% less range than the BL36 with the same battery pack: standard pack = about 11 miles; extended range pack = about 19 miles.
Is there any way to increase the range?
Yes. The first thing you can do is pedal with your motor, especially when accelerating from a dead stop, since this is where the most power is used. Also, using high pressure tubes (65 psi or above) and street slick tires can increase your range by 30% or more. Decreasing your "rolling resistance" will always increase your range.
Why should I buy the BL-36 ?
The BL36 uses a Brush LESS motor instead of a Brushed, which means it's efficiency is much better; about 20-25% better than the (BD36 discontinued). So if you're planning on using a bicycle for longer trips, such as commuting 10 miles or more to work; then the BL36 is the kit for you. The BL36 has no brushes inside the motor, so you will never have to worry about changing them.
How sturdy is my Bike Electrified kit and how long will it last?
We at WE (Wilderness Energy), have gone to great lengths to perfect our kit as much as possible. We feel very confidant that our kits are the very best on the market today. If you treat your Bike Electrified kit with love and care, it should last you years and years! Plus, our kits are componentized, which means if that you happen to abuse, or inadvertently break one of the components in your Bike Electrified kit, i.e.: you dump your bike and smash the thumb throttle to bits - you can order a new part from us and when it arrives, unplug the bad part and plug your new one in, and nobody will be the wiser! This applies to all components in the Bike Electrified kit: Hub motor/wheel, Throttle, Key switch, Controller unit, Battery pack, and Smart charger.
How much drag does the motor create when I am not using it and pedaling instead?
The motor has magnets inside it, which do create a slight amount of drag. You probably will not notice the resistance when you are pedaling on a flat surface. On a hill you will notice the slight drag, but this would be a good time to hit the throttle and let the motor assist you!
How can I determine if the Bike Electrified kit will fit on my bicycle?
If your bicycle wheels are any of the following standard wheel sizes: 20", 24", 26",or 700 the kit should fit!
Make sure that your bicycle has a minimum of at least 3 ¾" distance between the front forks - 4" is better, 4 ¼" is pushing' it, and 4 ½" is too wide. Also, you will need to have 4" clearance to a minimum of 5" up from the fork mountings, so if your front bike forks taper in as you go up, you'd better check the distance where the forks narrow 5 inches above the fork mountings to make sure that you still have 4" clearance.
Are there any other accessories that I might want to purchase with my Bike Electrified Kit?
Yes. There is a lot of power consumed by the capacitors in your BD36 controller the moment you plug the battery pack into it, which causes a small spark to occur during plug-in. As the battery pack is plugged in, the BD36 controller's capacitors refill themselves quickly, drawing a current and causing the spark. This spark cannot hurt you. (There is no sparking with the BL36 controller.) However, if you find that you cannot live with the spark, (it bothers some people more than others), you can purchase a circuit breaker switch with new battery wiring for $15.00 and re-wire your battery pack with this switch in the battery circuit. Then, when you want to plug your battery pack into the BD36 controller, you can turn off the breaker switch first, then plug the battery pack into the controller unit - and this will eliminate the spark. After you've plugged the battery pack to the controller, and everything else is plugged in (throttle & motor), turn the breaker switch back "on". The spark will occur inside the breaker switch now, where you cannot see it.
------------------- BATTERIES ---------------------
--- "Battery Rating" Overview ---
Most battery's discharge capabilities are determined using a C-20 rate. This means the specifications given for a battery's performance are determined when the battery is discharged over a 20 hour period. SLA batteries boast between 300-500 charge cycles, but this is when they are discharged at a C-20 rate. Using them in an electric bike kit discharges them 10 times (or more), faster than the C-20 rate. So this means you will not get anywhere near 300-500 charge cycles out of your batteries. With normal use, never running your batteries completely dead, and being very vigilant in charging your batteries back up IMMEDIATELY after each use, you can realistically expect between 100-200 charge cycles out of them.
The amount, or depth of discharge also has a lot to do with the life-expectancy of your batteries also. SLA batteries should never be run completely dead; since this will damage them and reduce their life expectancy. Automobiles use SLA batteries to start the car's gasoline engine. So why do car batteries last five years then, you ask? Because when the car battery is used to power the engine's starter motor, it is only used for a few seconds and is discharged only 10 % of it's total capacity (if that); then it is IMMEDIATELY recharged when the gasoline engine starts. This is why a car battery can last five or more years.
What kind of batteries does the Bike Electrified Kit use?
Sealed Lead Acid batteries ( SLA ), are the standard batteries that come with your kit. SLA batteries have been around for a long time. Some of their advantages are: they're reliable, easy to charge, and inexpensive. Disadvantages are: they're heavy, bulky, and they are very unforgiving when they are not charged back up immediately after use.
Your BD36 or BL36 kit will come with three 12 volt, 12 amp/hr batteries connected in series to equal 36 volts, The H.D. 12 amp/hr included, a $30.00 Value.
How long does it take to charge my batteries?
Depending upon the degree of discharge, it will take up to 4 hours to charge the standard battery pack, and up to 6 hours to charge the extended range battery pack.
Can my batteries be overcharged by leaving them plugged into the charger too long?
No. The charger that comes with your Wilderness Energy Kit is a smart charger. It will shut itself off when your battery pack reaches a full charge, but it is always a good idea NOT to leave your battery pack plugged in all the time. Just unplug the charger when the charger light is green.
How many charges can my battery pack take?
Your battery pack is built with sealed lead acid batteries ( SLA ), which can be charged and discharged up to about 200 times. But you must do some things in order to get the maximum life out of your SLA battery pack: ALWAYS, we repeat - ALWAYS charge your batteries up IMMEDIATELY after EVERY use! Sealed lead acid batteries hate to be left discharged, even for only a few hours, so plug your battery pack into the smart charger immediately after every use. Also, try not to run your batteries completely dead, for this will diminish their life cycle.
Where do I get replacement batteries?
Replacement batteries can be purchased through us AssistedBikes.com
Can I use other batteries with my Bike Electrified?
Yes, as long as the battery pack you are using puts out 36 volts - BL36 & BD36 models.. However, you will have to figure out how to strap your custom made battery pack to your bike frame. Our canvas bag might work, as long as the total dimensions of your battery pack doesn't exceed 12"L X 2 7/8" H X 6" W (Standard Battery Pack Bag) or 12"L X 4 ½" H X 6" W Extended Range Battery Pack Bag.)
------------------- CHARGERS ---------------------
How can I tell when my 36volt charger is working, and when it has fully charged my battery pack?
36 Volt Smart Charger - When the battery pack is unplugged from the charger; both lights are red. When charging, the right light is green. When you're battery pack is fully charged, both lights will go red again.
Shipping Policies:
Please allow up to 1-2 weeks from the time of purchase for shipping. If an item you order is on backorder, we will wait until that item is in stock before we ship your order unless otherwise specified.
DETERMINING WHEEL SIZES: to find the correct size wheel needed for your bicycle, DO NOT measure your wheel. Instead check the TIRE on your bicycle for the correct size. It should be molded or printed along the tire itself, and should read something like: 26 X 1.75 This means that your bike has 26 inch wheels, and that the tire is 1.75 inches wide.
