60 or 80Nm front hub motor

[Bikes4two]

......Would anybody recommend a stronger motor that would replace the existing Swytch front wheel motor, without any rewiring. Thanks in anticipation.
Rig the Jig.

As is typical, the thread has drifted somewhat but going back to your original posting about a 'stronger' motor etc. In the event you come up with any candidates, you might like to lend some thought to the question of 'anti-torque' washers/tabs/arms?

To aid understanding of what might be involved here, this very interesting (but rather dragged out) YT vid by Grin Technologies (LINK), starts at the 18min 50sec point on the topic of anti torque measures and gives some examples of what torques need what in terms of axle flats, tab washers and so on.

The current AKM100SX in the Swytch kit uses tab washers on the axle flats and seems to be adequate for the 40Nm quoted for that motor but looking at the Grin Tech vid, anything with more torque is likely to need a torque arm.

On Ingleby Incline (1 mile @20%), my BBS02B Boardman 29er goes up fine but there is a gate half way up. I really struggle to get going after the gate because it is so steep - combination of balance (more mine than the bike's) and wheelspin

Studded tyres are the way to go for wheelspins if ice is involved

It's nothing to do with ice, it's starting uphill on a steep gradient with a loose surface. I found it impossible until I fitted a dropper seat post which allowed me to start from seated for 2 or 3 pedal revs before easing my weight and raising the post to optimal climbing height, i.e. fully up.
