I've had both kinds, but I prefer my mid drive over hub any day of the week. hub are great for vehicles that can't have a chain drive train. like scooters and the like. Great video as always thanks bro!

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Thanks for sharing! Totally agreed, but the $999 price tag this is insanely low and torque sensor for that price is a STEAL. For those that read this message this will not last long, get it before it is gone.

Finally, Vitali you did a comparison video. Been waiting for this forever!!!

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

I hope we covered all info you were looking for.

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

You will get a very similar power application with a hub motor if you get a bike that has Torque-Sensing instead of cadence-sensing! You will also get the range benefit as well with a Torque Sencer instead of a Cadance Senser!

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Both of these ebikes have torque sensor but the mid drive has on top of that another 2 speed sensors and it is more advanced. Hubs cannot match mid drives performance on the same power ratting and battery voltage.

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

@@ElectricVehicleSpace That all depends on the hub motor! They are NOT all the same! The mid-drive generally produces more torque, however, there are hub motors that will produce more torque, and with a Torque sensor, it WILL give you the same ride experience as a mid-drive at about the same price! You get what you pay for in a hub motor, if all you are ever looking at is Bafang you will never find that out!

@mikesmicroshop4385 maybe for you. It is, but at the end of the day, it does not matter. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, wrong or right.

Great deal on quality bikes. Mid drive is the way to go for the experienced e-biker. I totally agree with you on your Specialized comment. I enjoy your videos and place a lot of value on your opinions.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

I am glad you liked it. These are amazing ebikes for the price. Thank you for the nice comment.

[@nicolasmaximus2286]

So far this was the best comparison explanation out of so many.The others just confused the hell out of it!!! Thank you gentlemen, well done.✅👍 The rest of the video was good salesmanship.😊

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Tried my best to explain but also the mid drive is my best e-bike option from all I reviewed so far and I am going to post soon a video how to unlock them to 28-32mph. This mid drive will be even better after that and more desirable for all type commuters. So butter smooth and powerful.

Vitus E-Escarpe 290 VR Mountain Bike is my new bike, a proper electric mountain bike, so I enjoyed your conversation about mid-drive and hub drive even though mine is a full suspension mountain bike I will olso commute as well I need the suspension for my bad back I've still got my other ebikes I wanted a real electric mountain bike 👍🏽

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

I only heard good feedback about Vitus.

[@ashpunting]

@@ElectricVehicleSpace thank you 😊 🙏🏽

Persons who do not want to spend too much energy need hub drive . Persons who want to spend their energy need mid drive

[@Qu.Z.]

Hubs with torque sensor all the way! Mid drives destroys your chain, your casette, and chainring. When you brake or accelerate, you always need to switch gears. You don't have that problem with hub motors, you just push the throttle then you can pedal at your preferred speed. And some hub motors comes with electronic brakes which saves your brake pads and at the same time charge your bike, you don't get that on a mid drive.

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Mid drives will destroy only if not used properly. Otherwise hubs with the same power rating and voltage will not outperform a mid drive.

U can get regenerative with mid

i have seen you with passenger paramvir hopwe you remember him

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

Yeah he is lost in the sos somewhere...

[@michealculleton1159]

Just gone from hub drive to mid drive wont be going back to hub drive mid drive does it for me

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

It depends on what you're using them. I assume you live in an area with massive hills.

You will need to try new Pinion MGU motor gearbox unit, best of both worlds.

[@Marcos_Tired]

If I'd choosing mid-drive, I'd prefer pair it with a infernal gearbox, since this combo would make it up to some of the worst mid-drive problems.

[@hmadbak9004]

$999 that’s a great deal 👍

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

That is an insane deal and I hope people get it before it is gone!

[@Oponu-Ayirada]

Lovely videos. Please what’s the wheels size? It’s possible to change my 27.5 tyre/wheels MTB to 26?

[@calvintanner7897]

Will you get more speed and range on both the hub and mid drive motors ?

[@ElectricVehicleSpace]

?

[@calvintanner7897]

Will you get more speed and/or range with both the Hub and mid-drive motors simply because of the limitations that these may have?
