Welcome to the home of AlienOcean Lithium Ion e-Bikes and Conversion Kits.
I supply complete electric bikes and kits enabling you to convert your own bike to electric.
Why buy from AlienOcean? You would be buying a bike or a kit from someone who is one of the longest established independent ebike sellers in the UK - please see the "Customers Bikes" page under the "Kits" page. I know what the drawbacks are in many electric bikes; weight, battery technology, quality issues etc. and with the bikes and kits I hope that I've eliminated most.
So, if you're in the market now for an electric bike and you want it to be lightweight and powerful, you won't find much better than these - especially at this price. Many thanks for visiting!
ADVANTAGES OF LITHIUM ION
I'm often asked why I use only Lithium Ion, or Li-Ion, battery packs in the bikes and kits.
Li-ion batteries are lighter than other equivalent batteries and MUCH lighter than Lead Acid batteries. They do not suffer from memory effect and also have a low self-discharge rate of approximately 5% per month, compared with over 30% per month in nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
However, to preserve your lithium-ion battery it should be charged early and often so when you come back from a ride, you simply plug the bike into the charger regardless of how much power you've used.
The Battery Management System, integrated into the charger and the controller, then takes care of how much charge the battery needs. The disadvantage is that if you're going to leave your bike for a long time then you have to charge up the battery every now and then to ensure that the battery charge doesn't fall to too low a level.
