Swe
100 W
Hi,
Updated information in post written 2017-02-10 so skip my first post.
I am planning to buy a 3-wheel cargo bike, se link below (link to the cheapest one, maybe I will buy another). I will use it together with my two small children, maybe a grown up in there also, to the beach and other trips. So speed is not so important.

I want to add motor to this, but not sure what motor I should use? A Bafang BBS02 or a hub motor like DD leafbike? I have read somewhere that it would be too much force to use BBS02. But the negative with hub motor is that I need to change the gears, because often when you buy the cheap cargo bikes you get internal gears in the wheel, and you loose them if you change to hub motor wheel.
It is a lot of short but steep hills here. My earlier experiance with motors is geared 250W and 500W hub motors (running on 500W och 1000W). Perhaps geared one is the best instead of DD? Dont like the sound of them though when runnig close to 1000W. At first I was thinking of sharing my 48V 11.6Ah battery with the e-bike and perhaps build a bigger battery later.
So the main point is, what motor type is best on those bikes?
Edit: And a negative thing I read about hub motors compared to mid-drive is that they are weakest on low rpm (low speed in a steep hill).
