2kW Mid Drive Vs 3kW Direct Drive Hub Motor for 100cc Motorcycle?

I look forward to your build. It is an interesting drive. I await to read your account of its real world performance.

AFAICR this is a similar motor/gearbox system on this build

Denzel 72v 4-spd Gearbox Build 125cc Dual Sport

This is basically just a really cheap build so I can test out the new Denzel 4 speed gearbox drive. I found many very expensive options for frames with the E22 Honda mount, some street legal/some not. And none of them seemed well suited for my needs so I decided to buy a very cheap taotao DB17...

Seems to be different in that the motor casing is quite a bit bigger on the Denzel. The drive unit linked in this thread looks to be a relatively low continuous power motor.

yeah, the denzel build is also from half a decade ago, and i think eastgem/denzel was spamming their stuff here about it years before that.

but the idea is the same, so that thread should give some idea how they work out in general.
