Almost immediately after the invention of the bicycle, attempts began to take away its basic identification. I mean the need to pedal to get around the plane. At first, these were ordinary bikes with a motor (I think most people are familiar with the term “hole”). Now, in the era of electrification of the drive, various designs of electric bicycles have begun to appear. The classic option is the so-called. wheel motor. It is not surprising when, for a certain amount, you can be offered a kit that will turn your two-wheeled unit into a real electric bike. But this type of drive has many weaknesses: heavy weight, inconvenience of maintenance and the eccentric effect.
Therefore, the design idea does not cease to develop, and today the carriage electric motor has become quite common. Judging by the name, you perfectly understood where it is installed. And this is both aesthetically and technically much more convenient. It also has other advantages. For example, a low gear will allow you to calmly overcome a steep slope or viscous surface. The version of the pedal assist while driving also looks much more harmonious. So the battery will be saved, and you can stretch a little. It also maintains proper balance and much greater ease of changing the chamber than with a motor wheel. Branded samples of such drives cost a lot of money, so the Chinese came to the rescue. For an overview of the Bafang carriage drive, see the video from the Clever Cricket channel.
