In most categories, both the Crystalyte and Nine Continent (ampedbikes) motors are sorely beaten by geared hub motors. The BMC Thunderbolt style motor is much lighter, will accelerate faster, provide much higher torque output, and freewheel, meaning that it will be more enjoyable to pedal without the motor. Geared units are top performers in the hub motor class.
