Why Direct-Drive?
Geared hub motors are lighter and more efficient at low speeds. Direct-drive motors are heavier but handle sustained high-power output without heat buildup — better for hills, better for longevity under load.
Torque Arm Required (A pair are included)
At 1500W, we strongly recommend adding our Heavy-Duty Torque Arms ($22) to prevent axle rotation in aluminium dropouts. This is a safety item, not optional.
Installation
Rated: Intermediate. The motor is heavier than geared hubs (~5–6kg). Estimated install time: 3–4 hours.
