Comparison of mid- and hub motors for e-bikes

In our latest blog post, you'll learn how to choose the right motor for your e-bike. Mid-engines, which are centrally positioned under the bottom bracket, ensure balanced weight distribution and respond quickly to your riding behavior. They are particularly suitable for e-mountain bikes and rides on uneven terrain. Hub motors, on the other hand, usually mounted on the rear wheel, offer a sportier ride and are ideal for flat or slightly hilly routes, as is common with trekking e-bikes. While mid-engines offer better balance and flexibility when shifting, hub motors are characterized by less chain wear and quieter operation. Your choice should be based on your individual needs and the type of bike you prefer.
