I would be interested in a group buy but why would I settle for an edge when your Mxus edge equivalent with the curved magnets and extra features is available. I bought a 45mm motor from you last year with these features and it has been great. I was going to buy a couple of 35mm motors from you last year but I try to limit my ridiculous ebike spending and I was thinking, hoping, something new might come out.
I have been wanting to try to build a 2wd so I would be interested in 2 6T 35mm motors with all of the features listed on your website. Different windings may be alright.
I don't need a kit. I already have 5 cycle analysts and a half dozen various controllers including a Phaserunner. I have 2 Bafang BBSXXs and 7 hub motors from a geared mini 700 watt Bafang to a 50mm Qsmotor so I am not afraid to spend a little money. If I am going to get 2 more 35mm motors I want the latest and the greatest which as far as I can see is your Mxus version of the edge. Unless there is someone hiding out there with a 35mm V3 hub motor.
I am not aware of a MXUS branded 35mm DD Hub motor that utilizes a V2 or better stator design. I had to find another manufacturer to get the V2 stator in the 35mm width.
As far as I know the MXUS with the Cassette Freehub axle is only available in a 30mm Magnet width, not the 35mm, and I'm not sure what the stator body material is.
For the 35mm Motors, "The Edge" is a just a name that someone (Alan Hu???) gave a generic 35mm DD hub motor with the V2 stator design. I just call my motors "35mm DD hub" and rate them at 1500W continuous / 3000W Peak. They are great motors when ran within reasonable voltage and current limits. I've been sticking to 48V-60V on most of my builds the last year or so, and peak battery currents of about 60A on the 4T windings and 40A on the 6T windings. With temperature roll-back through the CA3, I never overheat them.
The main reasons I prefer the 35mm to the "3K Turbo" 45mm DD Hubs is less weight and a better fit in standard 135mm Drop-outs, especially when the customer wants a 7-speed freewheel on the back. And for most people, the 35mm hub's 3000W peak power is plenty, and can usually get them into the low 40 MPH speeds (4T with 60V Battery & 60A Controller). If someone wants a 50 MPH Bike or a cargo bike bad-ass enough to climb a mountain pass, then it's a 45mm DD Hub build, but that's rarely the case nowadays. The exception being for Fat Bike builds, which need the wider drop-out width, so it makes sense to install 45mm DD hub motors there, regardless of power needs.
