I have a three-year old Carrera Crosscity.
Lately I have been experiencing a lack of drive whilst pedalling, i.e. using the chain and when not using the motor. On these occasions I have been able to continue under electric power alone, by merely moving the pedals. I’m assuming therefore that the problem is inside the Freehub, and that it will need replacing. I have not yet dismantled the rear-end.
My question is this: When I do dismantle the rear end and take off the cassette, will I find a conventional Freehub or will there be some special integrated Bafang unit?
I’m hoping the answer is the former, a conventional hub, and if that is the case, is anybody able to tell me which hub to order (the Crosscity is an 8-speed Shimano set-up)? If it helps, the cassette sprocket is a Shimano Acera CS-HG41-8 11-32T
All help/suggestions will be gratefully received
Thanks in advance.
