Yeah I meant those, to be honest it sounds like the Bafang mid drive is the one to go for as the hill we live on is so steep and busy so standing starts is not uncommon and the kids are only getting heavier. Cheers for the guidance, I'm feeling good about having a way forward now as I haven't...

Noted, thanks for the help :)

It definitely sounds like my riding style with this bike is more suited to a mid drive, I would never want to cycle with the kids at 20mph around little streets.

Oh wow, yeah that really makes it clearer. If only I had asked some questions on this forum way back rather than taking the torque outputs at face value! Do you know if there any decent but cheaper alternatives to the Bafang, are Tongsheng recommended?

That's so odd, I assumed it would be the opposite! The thing is I don't have much choice or desire other than slow riding with the kids on the back. The idea was it would be my commuter with the kids by for now I'm shuttle running it with the Rad which is ok but not ideal. Also I would like to...

Ok cheers, that would be the cheapest option for me but I really am starting to think I started off down the wrong path and should have opted for a mid drive motor. I live on a steep hill and there is a steep hill on the school commute and it's already tricky enough on the geared Rad Runner Plus...

It's what I was told was blown when I first took it in for repair and it came out fixed so I didn't second guess what I was told. The controller is max 13amp so not crazy but burnout would explain a lot. At least I can move on from what I've got, I'm just fed up with not having a double seated...

I see, sounds like I've made a fairly expensive mistake . Cheers for the help, going to look at a new kit minus the battery. Either that or I cut my losses and buy a Mycle cargo bike.

So now you mention I do remember that the controller was replaced when the hall sensors blew the first time. Do you think it's possible this controller is damaged as well after over heating? I was definitely always going slow up hills with the kids on the back, the hall sensors always blew on...

Ok crap well that will explain a lot. The hall sensors always blew when I had my kids on the back and where we live it's hilly. It was fine when I test rode it after repair but that was on the flat with just me. I wish I knew that from the start, would have saved me throwing good money after...

Hi So I've come back to an ebike project I got quite frustrated with back along and just left for a bit! Basically a MXUS XF08 motor 48v battery on a Yuba Mundo v3 cargo bike. It worked for a while but the hall sensors kept blowing (3x) which I had to pay someone to fix each time. Eventually I...
