Guys, can somebody give me a hand please. Trying to source a 135mm gear drive rear hub.
I have a 26" bike with an existing 1500w direct drive hub (135mm drop out). It's using a 12 fet 35 amp KT controller and LCD3 display. Though the bike is working great, I would like to try a gear drive rear hub, looking for increased hill climbing performance. Wide rear hubs not an option. With the fact the bike is used in a hilly area, and I have no use for speeds in excess of 20mph (think fat old man), thinking I would prefer a low speed wind if that's an option. Bike is used on the street, sidewalks, and paved trails. I do not want to go backwards from existing performance from a standing start, and emphasis lies with performance climbing hills found in a rolling coastal area.
I see the Mac 12t option at em3ev, but have an open mind/wondering about other options? Or is that motor the plan?
Thank You!
