These are used motors, taken off a bankrupt ebike share venture, but they are pretty strong Bafang units. Good for 500W, I bought a pair for $113 shipped. MIne came well packed in a box with bio-degradeable styrofoam peanuts, 26" rim, tire, tube, attached disk brake rotor, and a Textro Model 300 caliper. The latter two, well the latter four would be at least 40 dollars new.
I've tested both motors. They spin up to an indicated 22 mph on a 36V 15A controller.
The only issue was one wheel was all wobbly, but this is a good learning exercise for those who want to learn about trueing wheels. I had 1/2" of side wobble but it diminished to almost useable after loosening all the spokes, Tightened up 3 spokes and it spun straight, Then I retightened everything, About 15 minutes.
All I need now is a bike, a battery, and electronics. This might be the bike, a Hyper 26" all steel cruiser that I bought for $155 shipped from Walmart. I haven't opened it yet. Unfortunately, it won't take disk brakes.
Only looking to build something for a 15 mile range. so 36V, and any number of small batteries will work.
