What is a mid-motor?
A mid-motor e-bike is the most common and widespread type of e-bike drive.
The central location of the motor is a key feature of the mid-motor e-bike. The motor is located above the bottom bracket, creating excellent balance and handling due to its low centre of gravity at the middle of the bike. The battery for the mid-motor is mounted either in or on the down tube.
What are the advantages of the mid-mounted motor on the e-bike?
A mid-mounted motor on an electric bike offers numerous advantages, especially when compared to the alternatives, such as the hub-motor or the front-motor.
- An e-bike with a mid-motor has a very central and low centre of gravity providing even weight distribution. This results in excellent handling and balance.
- With a mid-motor, you still have options for gear shifting technology with both classic derailleur gears and hub gears.
- In a mid-motor e-bike, the motor and battery are usually very close together, which allows for simple and effective cable routing. Usually, the cables run completely inside the frame.
- Due to the close proximity of the motor to the bottom bracket and the cranks, the mid-motor reacts more directly to pedal force, offering a faster response than hub or front motors.
- Mid-mounted motors are used across all cycling disciplines, from city bikes to enduro mountain bikes.
- The support of a mid-motor is direct and smooth at the same time.
