Title: 2019 europe 750watt radrhino fatbike has a direct drive hub motor or geared hub
Post by: blond frisianviking on May 02, 2023, 02:05:58 AM
I have a 750watt rad fatbike. its functioning great and males a lot of fun here in the german forest. However hillclimbing is a pain in the ass. The motor gets out of oomph pretty quickly. Now i saw that on the newer american variants they speak of a geared hub motor 750watt. my specifications says i have a direct drive motor. I can imagine that a 5:1 geared hub motor has more oomph on hills.

Is there anyone with more knowledge as me on this point?

RadRhino 750w is 500w geared hub motor run at 750w controller power just like the US version.
