Hi all, I'm back from a 5 year hiatus - I had to scrap an electric motorcycle project in my senior year of college because I was starting to fail classes! I'm back now with a full machine shop at my disposal and wanted to start off with something simple and functional, so I'm thinking of putting a hub motor on a yuba mundo frame that I have lying around. I'm worried about the durability of a rear hub motor when the bike is loaded down with hundreds of lbs of unsprung weight riding down the pothole ridden streets of Portland, OR. I've done quite a few searches, but nothing has come up - anyone have experience with this? If a hub motor (the easy route) is not sufficient I could always do a mid drive, but I'm lazy...
The hub motor I'm looking at is the 4T MXUS 3000W V3
