Welcome to the site.
I loved my 2018 1300 W ebikeling geared hub motor, but I wore out the gears @ 4500 miles. Would start a gross weight of 330 lb up a 15% grade and pull up to 6 mph without my help.
I love my 2020 Mac12t 1000 W geared hub which does almost as well. But they are hard to buy. Allibaba only in quantites of 8. People take them out and try to climb from Huntington Beach to Lake Arrowhead in one stint. Warrenty time, coils would burn. US bike shops quii carrying them. My hills are short rollers, so the motor doesn't overheat on the 77 hills I cross in 3.7 hours.
Before I repaired the wire harness on the Mac12t, I bought a 500 w geared hub from ebay, shipped from China. Had a difficult time buying spokes for it, nobody in USA stocks 2.5 mm spokes. By the time the 2nd set of spokes arrived, I had repaired the Mac harness (which had burnt off in the rain, don't use ASI controllers except in the Altacama desert). So I don't know if the 500 w geared hub is any good. 350 w bafang was trash, took 48 v on a 36 v motor to get that motor up 12% grades, and I burnt the winding on about the 60th of them with 17 to go.
The 1000 w mac motor will definitely not work on a 500 w controller. Moves about 50 ' then quits. Had to install a 1000 w controller.
So if you do get a 1000w geared hub, don't climb Haleakala. Let 460 v8 in the van of the tour service do the up work. Keep steep climbs under an hour. Enjoy riding and viewing that beautiful scenery.
