Higher-capacity 48V 17.5Ah (840Wh) Samsung-cell battery upgrades available on request. All kits are supplied configured to the Irish 25 km/h legal assistance limit unless a private-property configuration is requested in writing. Batteries are mounted in a lockable downtube case with included charger.
Our conversions fit the vast majority of aluminium and steel-framed push bikes — road, hybrid, commuter, touring and hardtail MTB frames. Brands like Giant, Trek, Specialized, Cube, Ridgeback and Decathlon models convert perfectly.
Fit most bikes with standard 135mm rear drop-outs and 26"–29" wheels. Ideal for hybrids and commuters.
Fit 68–73mm (BSA) or 100mm bottom brackets. Best for road, gravel and mountain frames with derailleur gears.
48V 13Ah (624Wh) Hailong downtube packs fitted as standard; 17.5Ah (840Wh) Samsung-cell upgrade available.
Email make, model and photos to hello@lifty.co — our €49 suitability check confirms fitment, and it's fully discounted from your final installed conversion.
Installation typically takes up to 3 business days, depending on kit type and workshop schedule. We confirm your exact collection time when you book.
Almost any. Aluminium or steel frames with standard drop-outs and bottom brackets convert cleanly. We check carbon frames, internal gear hubs and belt drives individually before accepting a booking, as some require alternative mounting solutions. A €49 suitability check confirms exact fitment before we begin.
The 48V 13Ah (624Wh) pack delivers approximately 50–70 km of assisted riding on flat Dublin terrain, depending on assistance level, rider weight and conditions. The 17.5Ah (840Wh) upgrade extends this to roughly 70–100 km.
Installation includes a full brake inspection and adjustment at no extra cost. Mid-drive kits drive through your existing gears, so shifting is untouched. We recommend hydraulic or quality mechanical disc brakes for 750W builds and will advise during the €49 suitability check.
Every installation carries a 6-month Lifty Labs workmanship guarantee covering fitting, wiring and configuration. Kit components carry the manufacturer warranty. Post-installation servicing and diagnostics are available at our Capel Street workshop year-round.
Send your bike details to our Dublin workshop and we will confirm fitment and your exact quote the same working day.
Lifty Labs Workshop · 157 Capel Street, Dublin 1 · Open Tuesday to SaturdayImportant information for riders in the Republic of Ireland.
Upcoming Irish e-scooter safety measures are expected during August 2026. Announced changes include a proposed minimum rider age of 18, mandatory helmet use and high-visibility clothing. Registration, licensing or insurance requirements may also be introduced.
These measures remain proposed until formally enacted. Current requirements remain in force. Government requirements and commencement dates may change; always check current official Irish guidance before riding.
This high-performance scooter exceeds current Irish requirements for public-road use. It must not be used on public roads, cycle lanes, bus lanes, footpaths or other public places in the Republic of Ireland. It is intended only for private property with the landowner’s permission. You are responsible for understanding and following the laws that apply to this vehicle.
Orders delivered to Great Britain may be subject to UK import VAT, customs duty and courier clearance charges. UK import VAT is generally 20%. Depending on origin, classification and customs treatment, additional duty may apply. As a general guide, allow approximately 20%–30% in possible import charges, although the final amount may be lower or higher.
These charges are assessed by UK customs or the carrier and are the buyer’s responsibility. Lifty Electric does not control or guarantee the final amount. Northern Ireland uses different rules and is excluded when a Northern Ireland address is known.
Eligible employees may purchase a new e-bike and approved cycling equipment through their employer and save up to 52%, depending on their tax circumstances. The standard scheme supports eligible purchases up to €1,500; qualifying cargo bikes may be covered up to €3,000.
Employer approval and scheme rules apply. Any amount above the applicable limit must be paid directly to Lifty Electric before collection or delivery.
