I've just discovered that a local breakers yard has a number of e bike motors, they all come off bikes that have been damaged in rear-end shunts when being carried on the back of caravans/cars etc (I'm in a popular tourist area).Most are still in the rim and undamaged, these ones are mainly rear-wheel it appears that the front rims get damaged/bent far easier and they strip the motors out of the rim.
My question: Apart from the amount of spoke holes is there a difference between say an 8-Fun in a 20" wheel & a 700c wheel?
Very few of the motors I've seen are actually marked in English, often I can only make out a voltage, apparently he reckons on getting around 20 a year & gives them to a 'Mate' who knocks them out at car-boots 'up London'
