hub motor

What do you think of this brand of hub motor on a dahon folder?

https://stores.ebay.com/City-e-Cycle-Golden-Front

I am leaning towards the 1000 watt motor because Portland is pretty hilly. I rode some 500 watt bikes while in Tianjin and found that they tended to dog down on freeway overpasses.

Does anyone have any experience buying this motor? or from this vendor?

Pengyou -

Sorry that I don't know enough about electric bikes yet to answer your question but, after spending time in Suzhou on several occasions, I like your name.

Your friend,
David

It's hard to say what quality these motors come with. I know from experience that Crystalyte motors are good because I've run them in the past week. It's better I think to buy a brand name than an unknown chinese motor with shady quality.
