Iron Badger

South African eBike Kits — Built for the Real World

🦡 Who we are

Iron Badger was born out of a simple frustration: finding reliable, affordable eBike conversion kits in South Africa shouldn't be this hard. We're a small, passionate team based in Cape Town (with riders in Joburg and Durban too). We test every kit on our own bikes — on potholed roads, dusty farm tracks, and steep coastal hills — before we ever offer it to you.

We're not a giant faceless corporation. We're riders, commuters, and weekend adventurers who believe that electric biking should be accessible, honest, and built for South African conditions.

🇿🇦 Our dream is to help South Africa industrialize and build our own motors locally. 🇿🇦

One day, every Iron Badger kit will be 100% proudly South African — designed, engineered, and manufactured right here.

🔧 What makes us different

✅ Real-world tested in SA — Not lab numbers. We ride the same hills and traffic you do.

✅ No hidden VAT — We're not VAT registered yet, so what you see is what you pay.

✅ Fresh batteries only — 6-week lead time because we make them new for you, not from dusty old stock.

✅ WhatsApp video support — Stuck during installation? We'll jump on a video call and help you fix it.

🦡 Why "Iron Badger"?

Badgers are tough, determined, and underestimated — just like our kits. They dig deep, handle rough terrain, and keep going when others give up. That's the spirit we bring to every motor, every battery, and every rider we help get on the road.
