You can piece the kit together yourself if you don't want to purchase the whole wheel and motor package.
Interestingly, you can swap the core of these out, so if you get a 200rpm one and don't like it, you can get a 260rpm and replace the core without having to build a whole new wheel (and how do I know this...? LOL).
Man, if I did that I would have to order both at the same time. I'm not paying big time shipping twice!

In your opinion then, a 260rpm 36vQ100H with a 36v battery would still pull with pedal assist up to 25mph+? Or am I at risk of having the motor spin out, for lack of a better term, and would do better with a 328rpm?
