Hello everyone!
At the moment, my main job is to deliver food on my DIY ebike and I usually ride 80+ miles, 6-7 days a week in a rather hilly town (Brighton).
I'm currently using a Bafang G310 rear hub motor, but it's not really up to the task and I have to replace the internal nylon gears every few weeks. Now I'm looking for something more heavy duty.
Requirements:
- must have a 250W factory label to be street legal (please no 'noone cares, just get a 1000W and put a sticker on' recommendations)
- decent hill climbing ability
- good reliability and long-lasting
- easy to service, easy to find replacement gears
- freehub cassette (no screw-on freewheel)
- as powerful as possible, whilst still being UK legal
I can build wheels myself, so I just need the motor without spokes.
Thank you very much in advance!
