Morning all,
Time has come to replace the gng chain drive motor on my full-suspension MTB.
I use the bike strictly for single track, forest and trail-centre riding: No road work whatsoever, and the gng is a raucous beast that makes it obvious to anyone within quite an extensive radius that I'm using power. It also tugs the bejasus out of the chain & cogs on the tricky bits.
I had always intended to put a 200rpm bpm in the back wheel, but now I'm tempted by the Xiongda 2-speed motor.
I'd appreciate any input from those that have experience of either, and especially those who have used or tried both.
My thoughts are that the BPM should be bombproof at 200rpm and is quiet; but the Xiongda has that low-speed potential that might warm-up the BPM _ BUT, how noisy is it?
My point of reference is the Ezee rear motor on my trekking bike, which handles the less technical stuff in a most civilised manner.
Just as a subscript to the sanctimonious few that may think I shouldn't be on a trail centre with power...
I now have 2 bouncers, 1 which will remain unpowered: I ride the trails on this until I'm too knackered to get up the ups, then switch to the Cheat bike to continue enjoying myself for the rest of the day.
So far, I get no negative comments; but plenty of interest from shattered dads trying to keep up with their offspring.
Oh, just out of interest, I've been using an Ezee 14ah flat pack battery in a backpack and it works well for me: The Anderson Power poles separate easily when I fall off, or forget to disconnect on dismount
