Guys,

Given that the original motor is only about 42% efficient, if I recall correctly, and the fact that I don't fancy a front wheel hub motor (due to possible torque/steering issues), has anybody found or tried a replacement higher efficiency than the original?

Needless to say I would like a bit more speed and better hill climbing ability from any such set up. Or maybe I have got it wrong and front wheel hub mounted motors are the way to go?

Yours as ever

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Changing the motor to a more efficient one is way beyond me, all I've managed is the 24v conversion which is much better for hills but super inefficient I imagine.

You could always do one like marra's 36/72 conny if its power you want ? And a bit more speed
