Magnatronic Hub Motor?
« on: February 25, 2010, 10:25:32 PM »

What little I've found about "magnatronic" leads me to believe it's not possible to create. Does anyone know what "magnatronic" is and how it works?

Are you wondering about hub motors in general or specifically something about the magnetronic?

I've ridden a electric with a rear hub motor. I'm more curious about "magnetronic" technology but I think I have my answer.

In the above picture it looks like the motor is an integral part of a sprocket. Not sure if it is meant to be mounted on the rear axle or a drive sprocket chained to the rear wheel sprocket.

Interesting idea.

Looks small like an electric clutch (superfluous on a bike, of course).

Hub motor brings simplicity but for "performance" riding, you don't want great gobs of unsprung weight spoiling the handling.

Like with IC engines, a motor which spins really fast delivers the mostest HP the bestest way. But a hub motor is limited in speed by highway speed limit (unless your wheels are tiny).
