Last month I got knocked off my bike by an old man that wasn't looking where he was going. My bike came down with a crash and wrecked the motor.
I would like to fix the bike up because I enjoyed riding it, although have relocated so don't need it to do the 25 miles that it used to to get me to work...it only needs to go 7 miles.
The bike is a bit of a tank - a heavy steel EEB clone frame with 18S24Ah battery. The motor was a 9C clone that used to cope with 1500w averages and 4000w peaks. It has a 60a Chinese controller that has lasted me well.
The motor is dead - I have always fancied a powerful mid drive but my experience with the BBS02 motors has been quite poor - both cost a lot of money and failed very early on. The hub motor was a quarter of the cost but just didn't have the torque that the mid drive offered. Does anyone have any suggestions what I could replace the motor with? I like used the bike off-road and on tarmac and live in the UK so don't really want to spend a fortune on delivery costs.
Thanks
Jon
