Hi - anybody used one of these? Sorry if i'm duplicating a previous thread here, but i've done a quick search and it hasn't thrown anything much up.
I gather the motor has been around for 3 or more years and appears to be very light at 1.2Kg (quoted). I've heard these are made by Tongxin - Cute, but I'm struggling get any more details about them. I'm assuming they are geared, not a 'roller type' drive, and BMS battery say that it is capable of 40Nm torque - which appears pretty repectable for such a small motor.
I'm considering a new build on a light(-ish) hybrid I've had for many years and fancy using it as a simple light weight front hub unit on a 700c wheel. I live in a very hilly area (Cornwall) and do commute daily to work (about 9 miles each way) on both an ebike and my hybrid - so I can do it on an ordinary bike, but would just like to supplement it for the harder bits. I have become very frustrated with my 26v Panasonic mid drive bike (Sahel Pro disc) - it's such a pain to ride up steep rapidly changing gradients - you have to fight it for gear changes, losing all momentum gained riding down hill, and it forces to go so slooooowly uphill, it's like being assisted to push a bus uphill.....
Any how, I digress - Q75 front hub motor - 36v - please any helpful info much apreciated. Please post real experience if you have it, or if I've missed some giant thread somewhere a kindly re-direction would also be appreciated. Many thanks,
Phil
