Hi all,
I've been reading a lot about ebike conversion ideas lately but I think I'm forgetting more than I'm learning and my browser keeps crashing from 100's of open tabs!
Are there any quick comparison lists or tables available anywhere on the pros/cons of all the geared hub motor options? Like torque, max speed, reliability for example? I can't tell my swx02 from my q128's or my tonqxins from my xfo8's, yose power, cute, mac, cst, bpm etc etc my head is spinning!
I've searched Google, this forum and endless sphere but can't see it summarised or laid out simply anywhere.
I was ideally looking at ones labeled 250w and then getting a 52V or 48V battery and a 20A controller to increase torque for hills but it seems common (like some bafang and yose power ones) for them to be (frustratingly) labeled 350w even though the difference is effectively arbitrary anyway.
As an example I'd be looking for something like this:
Labeled watts
Size and weight
Cassette or freewheel?
Reliability (perceived/anecdotal maybe but helpful)
Torque
Max reported/recommended reliable Volts/Amps
Inrunner/outrunner (to see if they can be oil cooled)
Prices and recommended/trusted suppliers.
If there's anything out there would be a great resource.
