Just spotted these. Price not bad and 100% positive feedback

Could be used complete as replacement rear wheel motor for Ezee and Wisper models, or install in an existing housing, front or rear, or to build a kit bike

Looks like just the job as a spare for my rusty old Torq motor. Well spotted!

You mention that this motor would be a good replacement for an ezee torq. When I read the description it says for a 26 inch wheel (the torq is 28 inch) and also for a rear hub. Can you please explain ?
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

The motor should slot straight into the existing housing on a Torq front wheel, even if the housing itself is different.

The Torq 1 uses the Quando motor which is internally geared for about 16 mph in a 20" wheel with no controller limiting, hence the 22 mph in a 28" wheel on the Torq 1. This 26" wheel version could well be slower in the Torq if it normally runs to 16 mph in 26", so it may only give about 17 mph or so in a 28". That will mean far better hill climbing though.

Also the spindle is much longer so there would be a long protusion on both sides of the fork.

As luck would have the motor on my Torq has died. I took the bike to TETS in London over the weekend and he beleves there are connection problems inside the motor. They do not attempt to make repairs inside the hub. Would the motor mentioned here be a good replacement ?

Kevin

See my post just above yours Kevin. It would make it a much slower bike but with better hill climbing, and you'd have to cope with more spindle protusions.

However it's a rear wheel motor so it's much too wide for your forks by about 25 mm, so not suitable.

Cyclepoint can get you a new motor and I think their price is quite reasonable, though not as low as this one.
