The Aotema hub motor has several advantages over other brands. We would like to emphasize the strong points of the Aotema (pronounced "ah-team-uh").
Why the Aotema motor is superior:
1. It's sensorless. This increases reliability tremendously. Hall sensor issues account for 90% of failures. Sensored motors have five extra wires coming out of the motor which are very delicate. If you break any of these (fall over, spin axle), you are out of commission as the controller will no longer work. Also the hall sensors in the motor can fail at high temps, when going up hills for example. They are very difficult to repair. Leading motor companies are moving to sensorless designs.
There are only three wires coming from the motor allowing an easier install. Also the wires come out the side of the axle, not the end where they are more noticeable and can be damaged. Fewer wires + better connectors = less trouble.
2. Name brand. Aotema has been manufacturing quality motors for 15 years now. The kits have been imported into the U.S. for at least 8 years. With other kits, you really don't know where the motor is manufactured, and can change over time.
3. Quality. Aotema is a successful company that produces quality products. They have top designers who are at the leading edge. We have had zero returns. That's why we have extended the warranty to five years!
4. Smaller size. The torque is virtually the same as motors that are a lot larger. It accomplishes this with huge magnets and a steel band surrounding them, increasing the magnetic flux. This makes your bike more stealthy. If you do not want the motor to stand out, and would like the option of riding on sidewalks and on the beautiful trails in state/federal parks, then you will want the Aotema. Most people think it's a large brake. For rear motors it's not an issue. For the front, smaller is better.
FOR A FRONT MOTOR KIT, YOU CAN NOT BEAT THE AOTEMA. PERIOD.
