So, a while back I bought a 36v, 10a continuous, 10AH LIFEPO4 pack, and a 500w Heinzmann Geared hub motor. The Heinzmann put out a tremendous amount of torque, but the max speed was maybe 10mph. Whatever it was, I could get off and run faster.
So, I've still got this battery pack and I'd like to give this another go. I'm looking for a simple, fast, preferably front-mounted hub motor. My budget isn't so impressive, maybe $300 max, but I can work with just a motor and build the wheel if I need to. I bike five miles to work; the terrain is mostly flat with some potholes, and I'm often caught in the rain, if any of that matters.
If anyone can help, please post purchase links. I see a lot of references here to many different brands and can't find where to buy the motors online. Thanks for the help in advance!
