Looking for some advice on which DD Rear Hub Motor Kit to buy. I have built a bunch of ebikes but never with a DD Hub motor. They have all been mid drives BBSHD and geared hubs i.e. MAC. After looking over all the available DD kits, it sort of looks like I can group the 1,000-2,000 Watt kits into three groups:
A. Those available via Amazon and EBay that include the Yescom, Voilamart, AW, JaxPety, Ebikeling, etc. kits.
B. The Leaf Bike kits: https://www.leafbike.com/
C. The RH212 and DD45 kits offered by Grin Tech: https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-kits.html
If I already have a 14s/52v battery and a steel frame hardtail mountain bike, what would you recommend as far as a Rear Direct Drive Hub Motor kit if I wanted to only use it on pavement, have very few hills along my path, and want a top speed in the 28-32 mph range?
Is there any particular kit listed in group "A." that I should avoid or is any one kit better than the others?
Is "B." the best compromise...all things considered?
Is "C." the way to go...sort of like the old Fram commercials, pay me now or pay me later :lol: ?
I'd like to hear your opinion/advice. IMO A., B., and C., all have advantages and disadvantages but I don't have much experience with DD Hub Motors so I am not sure which one I want to go with.
I'd like to spend as little as possible but at the same time I'd like to have something that is reliable and trustworthy so there will have to be some compromises .
Thank You
