I'm glad I found this forum, I've learned so much from lurking the past few weeks. I'm considering adding a hub motor to my Oxelo Town 9 EF scooter.
Here's what I was looking at: https://www.uumotor.com/8-inch-e-braking-hub-motor-diy-e-scooter-conversion-kit.html (I'd swap out the 65mm drop-out motor with a 58mm one.)
I was also considering adding a friction motor like this:

I need something relatively light, portable and capable of going up a hill with a 7-10% grade. I weigh about 170 lbs. I don't care about going fast, and my total commute each day is about 2 miles (0.7 miles from home to the Caltrain station and 0.3 miles from the Caltrain station to work, so 1 mile one way.)
The hub motor looks cleaner but would require me to cut into the rear fork, not something I really want to do. Here are a few details about the hub motor:
Voltage: 24V/36V/48V
Power: 180~250W
Speed: 500~800R/min
The friction motor would be easier to install, here's some info about the friction motor:
Voltage: 11.1~29.6 Volt
Output: 1500 Watt
Rotate: 400KV
Rated Efficiency: ≥98%
Rated Current: 80A
Max current: 90A
Does the friction motor look like it'd be powerful enough to get me uphill? The scooter weighs about 13.5 lbs stock. So total, rider + scooter + motor + battery is about 190 lbs.
I'm guessing 8S1P 5Ah Lipo for the friction motor. For the hub motor, maybe a 36V 5Ah Li-ion battery? What charger and power supply is recommended? iCharger? HK power supply? I'll be sure to post lots of pics of the mod when it's done.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice!
