[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5417024, member: 16430"] I bought one last summer that has a 1000w hub motor. I hunted off it last year and it did a good job. It has hydraulic disc brakes and fat 20" tires on mag wheels. On hills, it required pedaling. My wife loves it. At the same time, I bought a mongoose 26" fat tire bike. I converted the mechanical disc brakes to hydraulic, installed a Bafang BBSHD 52v 1500w mid drive and converted the rear hub to a single speed. After stripping the teeth off the rear sprockets and stretching the chain on its first trip around the neighborhood, I beefed up the drive line with a motorcycle chain and sprockets. I dont have any need for high speed so I geared it quite low. 36/44 It has a flat ground top speed of 12mph but don't let it fool you. This thing will run that speed in the woods too. It will lift the front wheel from a stop and I'm yet to pedal it at all. I've thought about adding a set of pegs to ride it like a motorcycle. I took it on some mountain bike trails over the weekend to see how it would handle. It really surprised me considering I'm a veteran dirtbiker. I even spun it around like I do my motorcycles when turning around on a tight trail. [/QUOTE]
