The Route and the Bike

Nano Electric Assist Retrofit System on a Moulton [VIDEO]

What and Who is Nano

This small motor system is designed around a very neat 2kg front wheel hub motor allied with their own ‘one-click’ bag set up which features a connector inside the bag, enabling a variety of batteries to be used to power the system including Bosch and Oregon power tool batteries.
