Having a shark battery in a rear bag is a lot more versatile than a rear rack battery. My UPP rear rack battery clunks around and seems heavier than my other packs. Great video.

Front hub motors should not normally be used because the front fork is not designed to be pulled by a motor and can eventually break off. Also a front hub is very unstable in loose dirt gravel and rain.

So its illegal to use on anything but private property..........................750W is the legal limit for US street use. I rather have a 750W mid drive that allows to keep my gears, increasing the climb ability, and top speed. Both of with would be greater than a 1000w hub motor.

Sometimes you may not want to pedal. If you can have a bicycle AND a moped then why not? Also, geared hubs and mid-drives violate the principle of least complexity which sure as sh** means increased maintenance and t-shooting in the long run.
