    geared hub motor ratios versus mid-drive

    With so many people making the effort to say in effect that I was wrong although not exactly in so many words (you've all been more polite than that), I had to revisit my assumptions. Now I see that those assumptions were dead wrong - given the available geared hub motors which don't appear to...

    geared hub motor ratios versus mid-drive

    Thanks again for all of the comments and simplification suggestions. Rather than try to prove a grander theory, let me try to describe just the observation that led me to posting this thread in a way I hope is simpler than my previous posts.. You could say my motive is to compare apples to...

    geared hub motor ratios versus mid-drive

    I deleted this mixed-up post and put what I hope is a simpler one at the current end of the thread which might help indicate that I've read all the other posts so far, with appreciation for the experience they reflect, Tried to be a little more precise, realizing that sometimes I may have...

    geared hub motor ratios versus mid-drive

    Sorry, I've edited out all of what this post used to say after I realized I had made a major blunder. Will try to correct it in a day or so. Sorry if I wasted anybody's time.

    geared hub motor ratios versus mid-drive

    Meant to say the hub version would produce somewhat more torque at the wheel than the crank version would. Didn't mean to imply the motor torque would be different.

    geared hub motor ratios versus mid-drive

    Thanks for those comments. To try to clarify the point I was trying to make: if you could fit a given mid-drive motor and gears in a hub, I think it would produce somewhat more torque than it would when mounted at the crank on the same bike. No, I'm not an engineer so the ebikes.ca simulator...

    geared hub motor ratios versus mid-drive

    While trying to decide whether to replace a no-name motor that looks to be a 250w having a reduction ratio I calculate to be 3.84:1, I read about larger motors such as Ezee as well as mid-drive motors. This number is important to me as I am in such poor physical shape that pedalling even half a...
