I recently mounted up a Q100C CST eBike system to a mid-level aluminum road frame. It's pretty nice, and the amount of assist is pretty good in that I get a workout but more easily hit a 20mph cruising speed. Maybe a 328-series would have been better (I got the 201 rpm motor) but I can always change that to get a bit higher top end. But I do like how it behaves on hills, letting me ascend at around 15mph, and again, getting at least a bit of a workout.
So, that isn't specifically related to the subject title, but I wanted to explain where I'm coming from.
If I really wanted to shed weight, aside from mounting this to an even lighter bike and maybe creating a half-size battery, does there exist any sort of ultralight hub motor with similar performance?
I figure it could be made partially of carbon fiber. At least the shell and maybe the flange for connecting the disc rotor. I really don't know. There is plenty of necessary heavy elements in a hub, but how far can it be taken?
And, is there something, or some company, currently on the market that can offer this?
Thanks!
