You forgot Hubs = less rolling resistance if you battery dies you can kick push home on most hub motors, my flipsky 6354's belt drives take a lot pushing and not a lot of rolling. Will i ever swap doubtful but next build will be a direct drive for sure this is best of both worlds.
I love Belts and Hub motors. What I fear with belt driven motor is the belt ripping while going downhill. A friend had a incident where his belt broke while going downhill. It sounded really scary but I haven't ever encountered it yet.
I am stuck with a bit of advanced question. I have DIY 6S2P battery pack that I made using 18650 cells (24V, 5Ah), there is no BMS connected yet. But I do have a 6S balance wires connected, I tried charging using iMaxB6Ac. The problem is I get error Vol Connect error on iMaxB6. I have once used this battery pack and over discharged the cells and they become useless since they won't charge with iMax(Vol Connect error something). I have waisted 10 cells, and made a new battery pack. I check balance wires from 1-7 and they do show correct voltage 4.1 - 8.2 - 12.2 to 25.2 voltage. But iMaxB6 wont recognise the balance wires, its a new device and I am frustrated. So if iMax don't recognise my pack, will the BMS recognise or i am just waisting money. Some expert please suggest me a solution. I am currently waiting on my 6S BMS, it will be delivered in a month or so.

Belt=4 stroke engine Hub=2 stroke engine
What do you think of chain drive?
No idea, I have never tried one or considered trying one
Where can I get a nice cheap but good set of hubs?
Personally would just recommend going belt, they are so much better. OR find some direct drives
What about power supply what takes more overall energy?
Hub
@@DIYesk8Builders ok thanks
What about heat from hub or belt Motor Which One stays cooler
From my experience the belt motors stay cooler, but I am not sure
When hub motor gets overheat more likely will get brake to fail??
Nice explication ...
Should have watched this before getting a belt drive.
I hate my belt drive, belt just snaps at the slightest rock in the way 😩
that should not really happen...
Get them Both..
You have the most insightful comments lol
there is no stealth with that remote in your hand ^^
Most people don't even realize the remotes lol
no way man hubs all the way u trippin
