I have a 2014 Batribike granite pro with a 250w rear hub motor (see photo)- can anybody tell me is this likely to be a geared motor or gearless? Can't see a model number....
I'm also wondering if the motor is up to full strength - it struggles on steep hills on maximum assist - is this normal? I'm not that heavy but am I expecting too much?
The battery has just been re-celled by Jimmy at Insat, so no problems there....
The other thing I'm wondering about is regen braking - I live in a super hilly area, so I've read you can retrofit regen braking if the controller and motor are suitable....The controller is made by DMHC and has a couple of extra wires (black/purple) which I wondered whether they were for hooking up regen.... Be useful to reduce brake pad wearing, if not for actually charging the battery!
Any advice greatly appreciated!
