I currently have a geared hub motor on an enduro bike.
As I use mostly offroad so I will buy a mid drive.

Since I already have the rear engine, can I install the mid drive and the hub motor and connect the two motors to the same battery?

The idea was to use the PAS in the middrive and the motor hub to have only accelerator.

If it is possible, just make a battery lead by installing extra connectors?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give
 
the battery would have to be very powerful, to handle the amps of two motors. Also, the torque of the mid drive could shear the cover off the rear motor, at the gears.

But the answer is yes, with some caveats.


If you want a motorcycle, buy a strong battery, and a big ass rear direct drive motor.
 
Thank you for the reply :)

I already have a motorcycle :) the idea is to use or the pas or the trothe depending on the situation and not both at the same time...but maybe that will be fun :twisted:

I like the hub motor in level fire roads and the mid drive for climbing...why not to join booth?

My battery is a 48v 14.5A ga cells. Probably cant handle using the two motors at the same time?
