2old , I personally like the front motors as well . The polaris vector , which I like for appearances has a 250w motor but the 36v 10ah battery doesn't really do it much justice I think . I had a look in at the pedego,currie bikes as well , and like you I wanted a faster bike I can give some throttle and pedal just to save on battery power for extra distance when I feel like it . I didn't want to spend the $2500 + for something im not sure im going to be happy with after ive spent the money . My consideration is a comfortable ride , then the 30mph speed , the gearing and sprockets being capable of keeping up with the motor , and a battery that will give me the distance I want . Did you purchase the pedego front motor & mid battery conversion ?
