Gboost, a prominent French brand specializing in e-bike conversion kits, has recently launched an enhanced version of their popular product. The latest offering includes the revolutionary V8 motor, which weighs a mere 950g (approximately 2.09 lbs) and stands out for its exceptional quietness, claiming the title of the most noiseless motor on the market. With the Gboost conversion kit, transforming your regular bicycle into an electric-powered vehicle is now a breeze, as the installation process takes a mere 10 minutes, thanks to the motor’s streamlined design and a single screw attachment mechanism. Furthermore, the integration of a pedal assistance sensor in the device significantly simplifies the installation procedure.
One of the notable improvements in the updated Gboost conversion kit lies in its enhanced bike compatibility, accommodating narrow mounting spaces found in racing bikes or frames designed for larger tires. In cases where specialized mounting adapters are required, Gboost offers the option to create custom solutions upon contacting the company. Available in a striking Gold color, the Gboost V8 kit comes in two variants: the standard package features a 250W motor, providing a peak power output of 500W and a top speed of 25 kph (approximately 16 mph). Alternatively, customers can opt for the Platinum pack, which boasts an 800W motor and a maximum speed of 32 kph (around 20 mph). Moreover, the latest smart controller introduces Bluetooth LTE connectivity, allowing users to effortlessly connect their smartphones to the Gboost controller via dedicated iOS and Android applications. Through the app, riders can select from five different assistance levels and conveniently adjust various settings according to their preferences.
The Gboost conversion kit also offers a range of power packs, catering to diverse needs and preferences. The entry-level option is the 251Wh capacity smart battery, capable of delivering a range of 50 km (approximately 31 miles) on a full charge, which takes approximately three hours. Weighing 1.6 kg (around 3.5 lbs), this battery ensures a lightweight and efficient power source. For those seeking a greater range, the Performance battery is available, weighing slightly more at 2.3 kg (approximately 5.1 lbs) but offering an extended range of 75 km (about 47 miles) with its 365Wh capacity. At the top end, the Extra Performance battery offers an impressive 441Wh capacity, providing a range of 90 km (around 56 miles) on a single charge. Despite its larger capacity, this battery maintains the same weight as the Performance model. Charging the Extra Performance battery to its full capacity takes approximately four hours.
The Gboost e-bike conversion kit is currently priced at €998 (equivalent to around US$1,071) for the base package, while the top-tier configuration, offering enhanced specifications, costs €1,388 (about US$1,490). With international shipping available, including to the United States and Canada, customers from around the world can benefit from this innovative solution to transform their bicycles into powerful electric-assisted rides. Gboost’s commitment to cutting-edge technology and user-friendly features ensures that riders can enjoy the convenience and thrill of e-biking with ease.
