GBI own a 2005 3G single speed beach… I own a 2005 3G single speed beach cruiser,which I love. Wanted an assist for long flat beach rides but didn’t want a multi gear new e-bike. Researched and found the Hilltopper kit. 1/2 hour for kit installation and I was riding a motor assisted bike. Some more time later to switch out tire,see Hilltopper YouTube,organizing wiring and permanently installing the battery. Ez-Over did not have water bottle anchor holes. Hit 20mph on flat beach. Made a 45 degree driveway much easier with me peddling. Very happy with conversion kit as opposed to buying a new bike. This kit seems perfect for flat crushing and occasional hills with pedaling help. Battery charge longevity,yet to be determined but I did ride 10 miles at 10mph with only motor and had no problem.

GBEven great for Recumbent bikes. My wife and I have recumbent bikes, and have had them for almost 20 years. We ride almost every day. My wife recently had a knee replacement, and has had difficulty on some hills. We have researched E-bikes, and have decided to keep the comfort of of our old bikes. Hilltopper, seemed to be the best choice, so I bought (2) 20" Horizon kits. Since our bikes are quite different than most, mounting the battery bracket took a little longer than I expected, but not bad. Now we are loving the ride more than ever, and no hill has been a problem. Thanks Hilltopper!

GBMixed results with the Summit kit. I bought the Hilltopper Summit kit. The documention was not accurate and incomplete. The kit met my needs but not my expectations. The way to reset the trip counter is not obvious and their tech did not know the proper way to do it. There are several features that the display is capable of but not implemented. I expected more of their top of the line kit. The display was initially defective but their tech was good about sending another one. The throttle has a dead zone and it is difficult to control the power.

GBPoor technical assistance I’ve been using a Hilltopper on 2 bikes for 4-5 years. Loved the product. This year I bought a battery upgrade. Installation was less straightforward and getting support was impossible. There are no instructions and the only help that I could raise on the phone were non-tech people and robots.

GBGreat addition to our old trike. You made our old pedal trike a very nice e-trike for us old folks (77&81year olds). First off I really enjoyed putting the upgrade on the old trike and we both enjoy talking it out for a ride, if we get tired it will take us home with out any more pedaling.
