Off road all day
Active Member
Right now i have a frame mounted 450 watt motor on the left side but i ride on road, off road and deer trails. I don't have enough torque for off road. I have bought a larger gear (16 tooth to 28 tooth) for off road for the rear hub, but that's going to drop speed by almost %50.
First question is will a mid drive solve this issue by allowing me to change gears with the bikes shifter (expensive)
Second, can i swap the peddles and front 3 gears to the left side (no click), put a single gear on the disc brake mount, then mount the motor on the right side and use the right shifter for torque or speed. The motor i have can be reversed by changing the pos and neg wires.
