I’m interested in hearing about peoples experience with IGH’s paired with mid-drive motors. There seems to be a lot of advice about what works, but frequently it seems the advice is theoretical. It would be great to hear from people who have successful setups. How long have they been using an IGH? What setups are they using? how steep are the hills being climbed? what kinds of terrain are they riding on? etc..
But equally important are the failures. What setups failed? How long did it take to fail? It would be great to understand the limits of each model available. Where is the braking point? But since each setup is unique, small differences can be significant. So as much info about style of bike, style of riding, terrain, weight of the rider, etc. should be included.
Lastly, it would be great if people combining an IGH and a eCargo bike could add comments. Electric motors have made Cargo Bikes a huge new category that pushes the entire bicycle drivetrain to its limits. What are people experiencing?
It would be helpful if people add links to info scattered around the internet in blog posts or other forums. Maybe this can serve as a central location for all the info that already exists, but takes so much effort to find.
