So I have a Velotric Go 1, It's unlocked to go 25 mph, but I live in a somewhat hilly area and would like to get more power to climb some of the hills around here.

Can I put a Front Hub Kit on my Go 1 and get more power without one tire going faster or slower than the other?

I do have mechanical skills, but I'm looking for a simple solution that doesn't involve soldering.

Thanks in advance.
 
Two controllers, two PAS pickups, two motors. Or one throttle perhaps instead of the 2nd PAS pickup. One battery if you so choose. I crimp on dorman ring or bullet connectors. Not the ****ese **** terminals. Dorman is from Taiwan. Or 3M, Panduit, Ideal, T&B or TE Connectivity real crimp terminals. TE connectivity invented the things when they were called AMP.
If the hills are short, a Mac12t 1000w 48v geared hub motor will do the job by itself. I wore mine out (the clutch)after 4 years and no US vendor will sell me another. 330 lb from a dead stop to 6 mph up 15% with 60 lb groceries and 160 lb me. I can buy 8 motors from cutler Mac in Shanghai if my bank will cooperate with aliexpress.
Note they are illegal in 41 states. Old men carrying groceries up hill at 12 mph without paying taxes on a $50000 pickup scares state legislatures to death. A mac12t won't go over 23 mph in a 26" tire. The 1000 watts is a lower speed than those 1000-2000-3000 w direct drive desert racing hubs.
