Hi, I will use a Nucular x6f controller on a 26x4 fatbike with 190mm dropout. I need to buy a DD rear hub motor that is compatible with hubsink and statorade.
Anyone can recommend what would be the top 3 motors?
 
For my riding, I'd get a QS205 in the slowest winding, 6T. I don't need to go fast, and I have very steep hills. I'm not sure if I can stand fat tires, but since that's the criteria. With normal tires, I'd probably go with the 5T.
 
Thank you.
It is for riding in the city, doing bike deliveries. There is a lot of stopping/accelerating, so juicy/punchy acceleration is important. An easy cruising at 45-50 km/h is needed. The terrain is mostly flat but with a few repeated inclined streets. It will be used for 8-10 hours straight with regular stops, over 100-150km per day.

I find the QS205 attractive overall, except for its 14kg weight, which seems too much.

Sounds good. I’m going to take a pause and let others chime in case there is additional criteria.
