Hi all,
I like to modify my rim-braked CroMo Rohloff belt drive 26" touring bike (100 mm front forks). I'm looking for a reliable front hub. Long distance trips are planned in remote mountainous areas. Weight without motor and battery but including luggage: 130 kgs. Max daily approx. 1200 height-meters (with an average of 7%). Max. gradient approx. 12%. Mostly asphalt and gravel. Distance 40-150 km. Getting aged, I have to count for a diminishing condition.
Spending one month on reading, I think the 36V Q128 with 48V battery pack and the Double Speed Xiongda both could be fine. I wonder if the Q128 would be okay (without overheating problems) or that I better should go for the Xiongda (with a slightly higher risk for engine wear?)
