Interested in getting info from folks who have had two or more different motors such as;
reliability,range,hill climbing power,noise level... if this has been addressed in another thread, please direct me to it.

It might be helpful if you give some specs you are looking for in an ebike. Just asking for the best motor for you can be related on your particular riding style, type of ebike you are looking for, conditioning level, 24/7/365 riding environment, and budget.

weight-225, physical condition fair, riding style conservative, looking for FS either 27.5 or 29 for intermediate singletrack in mountainous terrain as well as gravel and paved roads,budget 2500-3000. On a test ride yesterday, the lowest setting on a turbo levo was plently of assistance on singletrack, but used highest setting on the road.

I wonder if tires attributed to higher setting needed on the road.

Court published a review of the various Bosch motors a few days ago. As could be expected, more punchy motors with higher torque (CX) made more noise.

Well, i guess i'll figure it out for myself. I can't imagine anything being better than the brose anyway.
