Hi!
I have been reading and reading and I think I have found the best reasonable solution (probably not) but I need your input.
* I have a 26" fullsuspension MTB (145mm front and rear) that I would like to keep stealth.
* Not possbile to install bafang middrive
* I don´t want to widen the spacing in the rear where I want to install the motor by more then 1-2mm. So 135-137 mm it is.
* I use hydraulic disc brakes
* I have a 50V battery from EM3EV.COM that I want to use. (Normally use it on my commuter)
* I ride single trail, with some small jumps. There are no mountains but rather short but steep ups and downs. Normally no more then 1 minute going up. I ride these trails unassisted at the moment but my father got a Bosch mid drive kit and I am struggling to keep up with him :-(, not that far behind though so what I need is a boost up the hills in order to reduce the lactic acid in my legs so that I can keep up on the flat and downhill with my own power.
* Needs to be a cassette type of rear hub.
* So a xiongda would be great in first gear (second gear would be a nice to have but not needed) but it is to wide. Any other options that fits the bill?
Assistance to 15km/h (9-10mph), torque, light weight. I dont think it needs a VERY high torque like a lot people on this forum means high torque as in pulling 250 pound up a long hill unassisted, I just need some low speed assistance for a fairly short period of time.
I am thinking a small hub motor but except for the xiongda the ones I have found have unnecessary high top speed.
I hope my question is defined well enough for you to give some input.
Thanks!
