Posted By: derekewidely thought to be better on step hillsInteresting - why so?
Posted By: fostertomInteresting - why so?
Posted By: fostertomThanks, but sounds a bit falacious thinking (them not you) to me - think I'll relax about it!
Posted By: djhmid-mounted motors can benefit from the variable gearingThat's just a matter of motor design - a hub motor has to work at very low revs, which means bulk, prob large diameter one way or another. It's much easier if the motor can run faster, by assuming it's geared-up (by the derailleur) when the bike's going slow. Either way the system will (or can) be designed to deliver whatever torque-to-road-speed curve is desired, just more of a challenge with a hub motor. If a bike's torque curve is poor, it's not due to hub vs mid mount principle.
Posted By: fostertomThe caveats were about hub motor, not about 'front' hub.
Posted By: fostertomfrom start on a steep uphill on full assist plus full effort from me, sitting rather than standing, my CofG was so rearward and high that it did a wheelie and over sideways.but with front it wd have been wheelspin instead, maybe even oscillating. Not good. Affects steering? I can imagine something but not obvious what effect.

should you feel the need, circumvent the quite restrictive 15.5mph rule for when you're off-road.
Posted By: Gareth JYep. That's the law. Plenty of people have such opertunities though.
