sounds like rear hub motor might be better. i was 83kg 5 weeks back but the hills are just as hard currently.

dam that 17.3% hill between my house and the post office!! sometimes I wish I were dutch!!

has anyone tried one of the Akm motors? http://www.topbikekit.com/akm100h-36v350w-ebike-front-driving-hub-motor-p-677.html?zenid=g1nat9l1hmrac4s94gev8d46j2

i noticed somewhere that the 85sx gives about 40nm. is that just the manufacturers 'perfect world situation'? or would it produce 40nm with the right controller /suitable controller/more amps? and can the 85sx be geared in the 201 rpm range?

I'm not 100% but maybe under powered might be ok as I don't want to damage the forks on my bike being an aluminum racing bike and I'm only about 76kg. bikes about 9.5kg. I cannot remember the hills in Winchester, I guess the peak district hills might be a little steeper :(

how do the Aikema and the Mxus compare to the bafang hub motors?

Hello I am looking to buy a 250w front hub motor. Something that I can switch in and out fast when i'm recovering from none electric cycling. I'm after one that will be happy at say 250w but will go up too 300/400w for short bursts. Internally geared. Possibly around 10/12 - 1 internal gear...

cheers
