  • It's a second bullit, my wife keeps riding mine!

    Wanted to try out the hub motor and it's cheaper than mid drive..

    Got the frame on cycle 2 work and then bought the hub motor from AliExpress. 1500W motor @ 48V, but using 36V battery so 1200W

  • 1200 watts of assist?
    my giant cargo bike has 250 watts and that's loads
    why do you need so much power?

  • Lol, because I want to? Because it's awesome?

  • AIUI the power ratings given in Watts arent that reliable. Ie the bosch motor will peak much higher than 250… torque ratings are where you wanna look really.
