Does anyone know this motor from 8fun?

It has two versions either front or rear motor.

Thanks

It's a hub brake version for single speed free-wheels, and is rear wheel only. Where did you get the idea that there's a front version?

It's the SWXB that comes in front and rear versions.

From my own experience, you don''t get the motor in the advert. That's one possibility of what you might get. You tell them whether you want front or rear, disc, vee or hub brake, and then you get some equivalent if you're lucky. They tend to ignore important things like RPM, and sometimes brake type.

The one in the photo and description is indeed a front motor, so maybe there are other versions.

I have a friend from China willing to get it for me. Only £40 so I will gonna try it.

I need to confirm with the seller to make sure I order the right specs

Just wondering why is so hard to find a 8fun motor works at 15mph on 16" wheel?

You'll need to run it at 48v or more on 16" wheels. or better still, get a 24v version, and run it at 36v.

Official data, both appear rear drive only, with band brake, single / multi (7 speed max) drive respectively:

SWXP
8FUN¡¡Motor

SWX01
8FUN¡¡Motor

Could find no reference to a front drive version using the search button on this site.
