Lightest 250w rear hub

[Forge Custom]

After hitting quite a few issues with converting one bike (27.5+ post in this forum), I'm now looking to do a rear conversion on one of my custom cruisers (google Ruff cycles for the sort of thing). Obviously they weigh more than a regular steel bike so is there a goto rear drive if weight is a concern? Or is it much of a muchness between the usual suppliers - Oxy, Panda, Dillenger etc?

Many thanks

Matt

you have a Nexus-3 at the rear.
the obvious solution is a front BPM motor kit.

Thanks for replying Trex. Well spotted! I'd probably lose that. Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what's a BPM motor kit?

Agree with that. As a cruiser owner myself, keep the nexus, use a front hub. They don't get much better than the BPM.

Thanks Alan. Is the BPM the Whoosh one?

Not really, although they use it. Its made by Bafang, and can be bought from Woosh (I think), BMSbattery and others. Possibly Panda but I don't know.
