E-Starter-Kit 'XSTART' Basic Set with Battery Pack (replaces original tool box, battery is not charged by vehicle generator)

Nuts & Bolts 'XSTART' Retrofit E-Starter

The 'XSTART' includes a 1kW starter with alternator cover, adapters for the original magnet wheel, freewheel, drive chain and starter relay, all the necessary accessories and detailed, illustrated instructions for quick and easy installation. The lithium battery (LiFePo4) is located in a housing modelled on the original toolbox and is mounted in the position of the original toolbox.

Depending on the temperature, the battery can complete up to 100 starts with one charge. Afterwards, it must be recharged with the enclosed 230V charger. The battery is not connected to the vehicle's electrical system.

The starting current of the starter is 300A, with a peak current of 600A, the 4S lithium battery has sufficient reserves. The temperature range of -20°C to +60°C is absolutely practical. The battery can be charged either on the vehicle or at home, and disassembly is done without tools. The manufacturer recommends charging the battery after every ride as standard.

A new alternator cover gasket is of course included in every kit. A simple magnet wheel counterholder is included, but for easier and damage-free installation of the magnet wheel adapter we recommend our counterholder item 20114. The magnet wheel does not need to be dismantled.

Required accessories:

• Gear lever with more distance to the housing than the original foot gear lever, e.g. item 40455.
• Accessory engine guard, if the large original engine guard is used and is not to be modified, here are various designs to choose from. e.g. item 60607, KTH-10079B, KTH-10077

Yes, you just have to loosen a rubber plug on the new 'tool box' and plug in the charger.

Does the e-starter also work with old 6-volt electrics?

Yes, the e-starter circuit is separate from the vehicle electrics and can therefore be combined with both 6V and 12V electrics.
