Hi all!

I just wanted to ask whether hub motors with a cast rim is stronger than a regular spoked rim? I have a 20" 1500w rear hub motor so the spokes are very short anyway.

I don't know if anyone here has had any long term experience or knowledge of these cast rims and their durability?

It seems to make sense to opt for a cast rim if they come with the piece of mind that they will not bend or warp if you hit a divot or bump..

Thanks!
