I bet it's the same hub motor with a different controller but not positive.
Interesting they went with the adjustable stem still I was glad to put a standard one on, they must be ok, redesigned one looks better.
The battery charger, I never mentioned the fact it does seem cheap quality, when I first got my bike mine too was very noisy & I could hear something rattling in it when I shook it, They sent me out one that didn't have a fan I forgot to mention this in my review.
I agree the charger seems to be a weak point especially compared to my last bike E Maxi Mi Power } that was high quality & charged the bike in 3.5 hours but cost 175-USD to replace.
I never ever leave this thing on charge without me being home, last bike I did, I trusted it.. A weak point maybe but the industry seems to use these inexpensive chargers pretty often { had a Prodeco & a kit bike before this one } . They seem to work well allthough it does take a while to charge 5 plus hours. Sometimes I'll use the bike before the battery is fully charged just topped off , check the voltage meter on the battery & recharge to full when I get home for the night, they get the job done & seem pretty safe, if there were fires contributed to these chargers they would've upgraded & it would be posted online so I figure..
Keep updating Thomas, I'm curious to see how you make out..
