Mid Drive Motors

For more technical riders who like to change through their gears and control their torque and wheel speed, this motor type is considered superior amongst many critics. The Mid Drive Motor drives the front chainring, thereby turning the chain and then the wheel.  The wheel speed will vary based on the rear gear selected, with lower gears giving greater torque and low speeds, while higher gears allow the motor to run at higher speeds but with less torque.

All these systems run in response to the riders pedalling ('Pedelec'), some are Cadence Based (detecting simple ROTATION of the pedals), while others are Torque Responsive (power delivery varies based on the PRESSURE being applied to the pedals).  Some systems also have a throttle, which can override the Pedelec (not legal beyond 6km/h in most cases).
