Hub motors are so simple - I can't imagine ever going back to more complicated drive systems. I'm up to around 2K miles on my Sidewalker - all I do to it is check spokes, air the 20" tires and adjust the brakes every once in a while.
Hi maydaverave... A hub now, but not on a Currie... I only had the usual Currie motors on the Currie scoots, the last one modified with an external controller at 36V. I picked up a 600W 16" cast Chrystalyte hub a while back and am putting this in a new scoot design with the hub in front. Not convinced the hub is best versus a RC and chain and sprockets, but gotta try.maydaverave said:Lock, you said you have a hub motor on a currie scooter. Can you give us some information on it or a link to a thread about it. I can't seem to find one.

only1jake said:Yeah. That's what I was thinking too. What if some of the cells get more heat... does this affect discharge rate etc etc.
I'll wait and see how yours turns out. Any feedback on what happens would be great!
