Hello friends, I want a full suspension electric mountain bike so bad and you have all helped me with your valuable insight a really lot so far, so thanks for that. Until now I have been looking at the Bafang 1000W options, either as my own conversion or importing a bike with this motor from China, but there are many difficulties with both options. Thus I am starting to consider to actually buy a bike from mainstream manufacturers here in Europe, but my main problem is the max torque of all mainstream motors - 85 Nm, which is half of the Bafang's power. So this raises some questions. Can you share your thoughts?
1) In what situations would I realise that a mainstream eMTB is not powerful enough and wish I had bought the Bafang with double the torque?
2) Does a battery with 625Wh capacity like the powertubes from Bosch mean more range on a 250W motor, than, say, if I had bought a battery of exactly the same capacity and paired it with the Bafang1000W motor?
3) Most mainstream bikes weigh around 25 kg (55 pounds) - does this give the 250W motor at least a little extra advantage with regards to its torque efficiency compared to the Bafang 1000W motor on a DYI conversion which would weigh 5 more kilos (11 pounds)?
All in all, how efficient woudl you say is the Bosch Performance + Power Pack combo on an enduro bike compared to a DIY BBSHD 1000w that has been paired with a 1000Wh battery?
Thank you all so much in advance, you are awesome!
