Hub Motor VS Mid Motor

The motor is a very important part of an electric bike. The three types of motors could be found on most electric bikes.  Front hub, rear hub and mid-drive motor.

Front hub motors are located on the front tire and provide propulsion by spinning the tire. The motor creates the sensation that the bike is being pulled forward.

Rear hub motors provide propulsion by spinning the back tire. They push the rider forward, which can feel more natural to conventional bike riders than front hub motors.

Mid-drive motors send power to the bike’s drivetrain instead of a hub. Its central location creates a more natural riding sensation than hub motors.
