The problem with direct drive motors is they don't quite have the torque of a geared hub like the befang but they are more efficient at speed and quieter too. Mind you I do like the geared motor's whine and they are quite quick off the line.
Hi Simon, I know what you mean, the hub motors are quite a lot cheaper though, I did scrap this bike and rebuilt the electrics in a new one ( see my other bike video ) I am part way through putting a 1000w front hub as well on this one, and larger hydraulic disc breaks as well, two batteries, ( same size ) and two seperate throttles, twist and lever. will put a video up when it's finished.
@@tonkennahyes I have an engwe engine x with a 2 battery setup and balancer kit as well as a power analyser wired in too. It's supposed to be a 250w UK legal ebike but when you do the maths it's anything but. 48v x 20amps and you have 960w of peak power. I also have a Kona fire mountain Mtb with a 17" frame and 27.5 wheels which I plan to install a yose 350w rear hub and use as a daily driver. Slightly above the regulations but what I like about it is the controller is Incorporated into the battery frame so it's all nice and tidy plus they're cheap and quite reliable. I'd save a fortune on petrol as its a 20 mile round trip every day!
