Thanks for sharing all the info on your project with the foum. I have been following this thread with interest and also Whiplash's mid drive with the mac. I have just recently got my first electric on the road.........an HS3540 used as a direct drive hub. Happy with it for a trouble free project which was good for a starter bike but the two disappointments with my bike are not having gears to get the motor into its happy zone for climbing and also the DD does not seem to coast that freely when used as the rear wheels hub, lots of drag. Way more draq then I was led to believe.
My next bike will be a mac mid drive and I am glad to hear you are thinking of something like this as well, I will be watching with interest should you go this route. I have been inspired for sure seeing your bike, looks awesome, quiet, smooth, light weight...............its got it all. It would be real cool to have a mac mid drive with a 20 mile range that was super light and some kind of an internal geared rear hub maybe like the Rohloff or something, this is my dream anyways.
Thanks again for showing us what can be done with a project like yours. Awesome!
