A neighbor swung by my place the other day, toting his deceased RadRag... (or whatever it's tagged) in the bed of his truck. To anyone with a nose, it was reasonably clear the Rad's motor is a crispy critter. Pulling numbers, the motor appears to be a Bafang G60 500W 'rated' hub motor. He realizes a motor replacement is mandatory, so he begins quizzing me if an upgrade is possible. After checking later that night, I see Bafang offers both a 750W, and a G062 (1000W?), both appear to be bolt-in's (more or less). But before I started hammering my plastic on the replacement, I decided to run some numbers on Justin's Simulator.
Ya know.... I just don't see spending an extra 150 bucks for the measily wattage increase is such a bargin. Thoughts?
