Hi everyone, I am starting to attempt my first electric bike build and was hoping to get some advice on the best set up.
I have been doing some research and have found a lot of hub motor kits and a few mid drive kits.
I am on a fairly tight budget, being a student so price is a factor. That being said i have no problem paying more if the quality is that much better. I am replacing a gas scooter so i will be saving roughly $500 per year in insurance and gas. I have seen some very nice hub motor kits on aliexpress. They also have some nice 500w and 750w planetary drive motors with a 6:1 drive reduction.
I am very interested in the gngelectric 48v, 450w brushless mid drive kit. It looks like a good placement for the weight and seems to be decent quality.
Does anyone have any experience with the gngelectric system?
Is there any major advantage to the mid drive over hub drive or visa verse?
I am also very into RC and could probably buy a nice system but would need a way to attach it to the drive of the bike. Is there a kit on the market for this?
I really know nothing about this stuff and have no idea where a good place to buy this stuff is or if it even matters being as it is mostly made in China anyways.
KevinThanks very much for any advice.
