That's a job for Leaf Motor 1500W. For future-proofness, get a freewheel model (which has a better axle and versatile freewheel interface. You can get good quality 8, 9, 10-speed freewheels from SunRace, though once you have >1kW on tap, having lots of gears isn't important at all.
Thanks for the tip - had no idea about the larger freewheels - i like to pedal still, and increase range.
Why the Leaf motor over other options? Does it offer the best value/performance/features mix compared to others? I just started looking at the 1500-2000w options and its very difficult to find/compare. Especially with all the aliexpress listings giving close to zero information on specifics.
I remember on Toms Hardware forums they would post a yearly "best buy" components list for building pc's - is there something like that on ES forums that you know of?
