Geared hub motors (like those in Varun bikes) are smaller, lighter, and provide more torque for hill climbing, whereas direct-drive hubs are heavier but allow for regenerative braking.

It takes an extra step to disconnect the motor cable, but it’s quite simple. We use quick-disconnect plugs on our ebikes to make roadside tire changes manageable.

Yes! Because our motors use an internal clutch, there is zero drag when pedaling without power. It feels just like a standard bicycle.

Rear hub motors provide better traction and a more natural steering feel. Front motors can sometimes cause the front wheel to spin on loose gravel or wet pavement.

Yes. Our hub motor models are Class 2 compatible, meaning you can use the thumb or twist throttle to cruise without any pedaling required.

Absolutely. High-wattage rear hubs are very robust and can handle significant payloads without stressing the bike's drivetrain.

Modern geared hubs have great heat dissipation. As long as you aren't trying to climb vertical walls at low speed, they are highly efficient hill-climbers.

The motor itself is maintenance-free. You only need to maintain the external parts of the bike, like the chain, brakes, and tires.

If you break a chain on a mid-drive, you are stranded. On a hub motor ebike, you can use the throttle to get home even if the chain is broken.

Our motors are sealed to IP54/IP65 standards, meaning they are safe for riding in rain and through puddles (though they shouldn't be submerged).
