Some years back, I built a bike on a full suspension mongoose MTB with a small 250W front hub motor. Love the thing, but it’s just underpowered in the woods.
I’m getting ready to build a fat ebike, & need a little advice.
I found a fairly light aluminum frame FB on Amazon that’s enroute. Bought for the frame.
I’m trying to decide about motor etc.
would like it to be quiet, street legal (750W?) And somewhat waterproof as I ride in wet areas in FL & GA. Mostly flat terrain.
Definitely going rear drive. Mid motor? Rear hub? Need low end torque. Top speed not important.
Geared or direct? Seems one is better low end and the other is quieter.
Appreciate any input here from the experts.
Thanks,
Greg
