Don't anyone get me wrong, I'm not interested in a speedy bike, 15mph is plenty for me on a bicycle, I have no wish to go any faster. Coming off a bike at 15mph is bad enough, any faster and I could get seriously damaged!
What I am really interested in is the ability to do hills without the considerable effort I now require with my Freego Eagle. I have no interest in sweating my way through the forest, especially in the Summer.
If a legal kit with a 250w motor will give me the torque required, then I'll happily go for that.
The present 250w on the Freego Eagle just doesn't cut it, which is why I have been exploring the 750w option with pswpower.
I don't want to do my dough on a kit that won't do what it promises.
As I've never ridden a crank drive I have no idea of the sort of characteristics it has, all proponents say the crank drive is better for hills than hub motors, but will a 250w motor be sufficient? They have internal controllers so heat dissipation could be a problem with less current handling capability. Please everyone let me have your thoughts.
Tony.
