I've had my ebike set up with a 11.75 gearing and a 1hp scott motor and it will pull up any of the hills around here. But its a dog on the flats 20-22mph is about max. So I though about changing out my current jack shaft for a sturmey-archer AW 3 speed hub. With the hubs 1.3 - 1 - 0.75 gearing it would give me a 11.73 hill gear, a 8.88 1:1 normal gear, and a 6.65 speed gear.
But the problem I'm thinking is the old 3 speed hub old up to a 1hp 10ftlb motor? I dont want to destroy a nice hub just to test it. (plus I would be out $30)
Anyone try to use a 3 speed hub with the motor on a ebike before?
