Which kit is better for converting an adult tricycle?

The E-TrikeKit is designed specifically for tricycles and includes everything you need, including a battery and display. The Kemblawolf kit is for custom rear-axle vehicles and lacks a battery and display.

Which kit has more power?

The Kemblawolf has a 1000W nominal motor, while the E-TrikeKit is 500W nominal but peaks over 1000W. The Kemblawolf also has a differential gearbox for rear drive.

Do I need to buy a battery separately for either kit?

The E-TrikeKit includes a 48V lithium-ion battery. The Kemblawolf kit does not include a battery, so you must supply your own 48V battery.

Which kit is easier to install?

The E-TrikeKit is a front hub system with a clear parts list and is intended for trikes. The Kemblawolf kit involves a rear axle, differential, and many components, making it more complex.

Is the Kemblawolf kit worth the lower price?

Only if you already have a battery and controls and are building a custom vehicle. For a tricycle conversion, the E-TrikeKit's completeness justifies the $38.01 difference.
