Namaste. I am based in delhi, india. for the last 6 months i have been playing with the concept of ebikes (relatively new in India). I have made 2 bikes till now: 1 semi recumbent & 1 upright. I have used mxus geared front hub motors in both & am happy with the result. I have tried the best selling bikes here in india (hero, hullikal, volta) and the experience was pretty much the same. They are not not very big or heavy, not very noisy, look sturdy, don't heat up. I think their pick up / acceleration could have been better ( i have tried 24v & 36v setup).
Now, i plan to start selling ebike kits here in india. But a big concern that came up was motors life. The mxus people provide 2 years guarantee & say the average motor life is 3-4 year. That, in my opinion, is too less. A user can't possibly expect to change the kit 3 years down the line. That does not happen in automobile sector, and this is pretty much the same industry. I believe the 3-4 years must be the life for gears, which i think should be easily replaceable. I know these are one of the cheapest option market available in the market, but i feel mxus has good reputation. So is this life standard for geared motors?
What are the ways to keep it going for longer? Is replacing gears etc. tough or expensive?
Has anybody else faced similar issues with other geared motors like q100 or q75, or other 250 watt geared motors.
Thanks.
