Bafang BBS02 would be my choice.
I have one on my 29er and its far better than the 1000w hub motor on my other ebike.

 

[tammi]

Will that be OK as the wheels are thick and huge..sorry I don't know much at this

 

[tammi]

Is bafang kit hub motor rear ? And what is cost

 

[Kinninvie]

It replaces the bottom bracket where the pedals fit on.
You need to know the width of it.
The motor costs around £400 then you also need a battery.

 

[tammi]

Oh gosh that's expensive ..I been looking on eBay at 48v 1000w 26in kits around 200 pounds ..but he'll cat is 3 inch bigger ..what battery have u got on your

 

[tammi]

I hope I don't sound dumb haha xx

 

[soundwave]

you do realise the uk has a max motor power of 250w, not that it matters atm

Well I'm actually a lawyer so when they use the word legal it doesn't really mean anything to me as I stand on common jurisdiction .. I won't bore u with the details mainly for off road and some road riding.. there's so much technical know how needed I'm a little confused

 

[tammi]

Wow does that include battery ?

 

[soundwave]

no the batts are what kills it price wise id also not go with a hub motor for off road stuff and deff no jumping with 1 either as will destroy it and the bike.

That's great thanks xx ... so mid drive is more for off road and hubby motor is more for on road?

 

[soundwave]

yes also the spokes dont come loose and can use the cassette as is on the bike and the motor weight is better as in the middle of the bike than on the rear wheel.

it might look alot of money but a 500w batt for my bike is 700 quid.

 

[soundwave]

Even if travelling more than 30mph they would have to provide evidence which is not going to be easy as they need to have measured over a certain distance
