These are common on many ready-made e-bikes and conversion kits. For hilly terrain or off-road use, a mid-drive motor is often better as it leverages your bike's gears for more efficient climbing.

Increasing power beyond this limit would make your e-bike illegal for road use. Some enthusiasts modify their motors for more power for off-road use only, but this can void \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rev-bikes.com\/pages\/warranties-guarantees\"\u003ewarranties\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e and potentially damage the motor or other bike components if not done correctly.

Regular maintenance, such as keeping the motor clean and dry, can significantly extend its life. The motor's longevity is also affected by how you use your e-bike.

Front hub motors are often easier to install as they don't interfere with the rear gears or chain. They provide a pulling sensation and can improve traction on loose surfaces by being two wheel drive. However, they can affect steering on some bike designs. Rear hub motors are more common and provide a pushing feel that many riders find more natural. They work well with the bike's weight distribution, especially when climbing hills. Rear motors are also less noticeable hiding behind the gear cluster, giving your e-bike a more traditional look.
