A brand-new 48V 500W geared rear hub motor at a fraction of the usual price. We laced this motor into a wheel for a customer build, but the customer switched to a different motor before it was ever ridden, so it's been removed from the rim and is ready for your project. A great base for a budget e-bike conversion or a replacement motor.
