I want to get a decent motor for my bicycle. Do they work? What are the top motors, how long do they last, and how fast can you go with them?

Yes.
I roll with an Ezee front hub motor, I have heard good things about Currie motors, I have also heard of Bionx motors.
I have had mine for a little over 18months now.
Mine tops out around 20 mph.

Quads are definitely the way to go. Mine aren't the greatest, but I got them from my dad. I wish I got my mom's, hers make the bike go fast.

I'm actually the first member of my family to get serious use out of the Quads for bikes, but now I've introduced everyone.
Mine are a little finicky, but I think that's an articulation issue on my end.

I use Quads on both my recumbent bikes. So far, I like Quads.
