I came into a bit of very easy cash, around me, the diy scene is expanding, big time. I have to pay attention to how many diy'ers are wrongly choosing a mid drive system for their ebike, for my area, as I may jump into it and get ready for next season, need a buffer for shipping problems. The geared hub motor is a great motor for the not-long hills we got pretty much everywhere. Its choosing the right power levels thats the key. To little power and your suffering, having to pedal hard. To much power and you wont pedal at all.
