Cheers madrhino I will look into this.

Okay based on advice and some reading I am thinking that I will pursue the rear hub option (and swap fork for lighter front end). Can anyone recommend a high torque (low speed) rear hub motor suitable for climbing some hills on the banshee scream? Note: I weigh 100kg and bike will be approx 20kg...

Makes sense and thanks for advice. 2003 Marzocchi monster triple monster fork With through axle...not sure if picture I posted implies a skewer adapter or not. I may well take your advice and go lighter fork. I still need to decide on mid drive versus rear hub...Bafang bbshd seems suitable but...

Fair point. I have looked at the Bafang BBSHD. Do you think that would be compatible? BB is ISIS 118mm fully sealed. Any other motor choices?

Thanks amber wolf but I think madrhino is suggesting not to use front hub but use back hub. But yes you are right it is a 2003 Marzocchi monster triple monster fork that I think has steel dropouts...

I have read some pros and cons for front versus rear. Looks like I have fork with steel dropouts so was thinking that would be easier option since I can remove/swap easily...but appreciate that rear us your suggestion... can I ask why? Safer? Can go more power at back?

Good question. I live on a steep hill. 20% is my guess but hard to say. Every ride finishes with an uphill battle. Will be off road and on road use though.

Front hub back hub?

Very basic mechanical knowledge but willing to take my time. Would prefer to spend under 1000$ on motor and battery.

Looking for advice on motor and battery selection for my DH ride. I bought the banshee because it’s built tough, has large triangle for battery and has good brakes & suspension. I am not so mechanically inclined so not really sure where to start. I am not looking for speed but need power to get...
