Kappstein E-Mobility

B3 - REAR HUB MOTOR

With the goal of developing an extremely lightweight and above all compact wheel hub motor, Kappstein is introducing the new B3 motor weighing just 2.5 kg and with the diameter of a geared hub, this powerful lightweight is designed as a direct drive, making it much quieter than standard geared motors and providing a very smooth riding performance.

As a special highlight and despite its compact size, the motor features an internal controller and torque sensor. It’s at its best when combined with Kappstein’s Doppio CX bottom-bracket drive system. This enables the construction of an extremely lightweight electric bike with two or more gears using very compact and intelligently designed components. It also sets new standards in e-mobility, especially in terms of performance and innovative content. The motor is suitable for both chain- and belt-driven bikes. It’s maintenance-free, permits 9-spline mounting for a cassette or sprocket, and excels with superior heat dissipation.

The B3 is the evolution of the KA Classic motor which in the early 2000s was one of the first BLDC motors in the European market. The majority of ebikes in the European market were equipped with this motor at the time which was distributed under the Toprun brand. Already then it was ahead of its time with an internal controller and torque sensor.

KA CLASSIC - REAR HUB MOTOR

The KA Classic is Kappstein’s entry level motor for a high quality urban or city bike. The KA Classic (250 W, 36 V) is a high quality 40 Nm direct drive motor with an integrated motor controller and torque sensor. This makes the system compact, maintenancefree and easy to use. Furthermore, the motor provides an exceptionally smooth ride experience with a weight of only 4.2 kg. The KA Classic is the evolution of the Toprun system which has been one of the rearmotor pioneers with systems supplied to the European market in large quantities already from the early 2000s onwards.

KA3S - REAR HUB MOTOR

This direct drive motor is based on the KA Classic and features the same highlights like the integrated controller and sensor as well as the smooth ride. Furthermore, it weighs in at only 4.9 kg and provides a clean look as no visible bolts are used on the outer casing. The KA3S is suitable for both chain- and belt-driven bikes. Combining the KA3S with the Kappstein Doppio bottom bracket drive system doubles the available gears to six, making it optimal for nearly any terrain.
