Mongoose Malus fat tire arrives next week. Considering 2 options for conversion:
EBikeling Rear Hub

vs.
Luna Cycle BBSHD Mid Drive

I currently have an Aventon Aventure with a 750W rear hub and like it a lot. Contrary to what some have said, the thing climbs hills quite well and does 30+mph in PAS mode 5. While I want to be able to do some more technical off road, I’m a pretty tame rider. I’m drawn to the rear hub due to its simplicity (installation and maintenance) and lower cost. Also, the wear on the drive train of a mid motor has me concerned. That said, folks seem to rave about the mid and I don’t want to miss out (never ridden a mid). Thoughts/recommendations?
