Hub Drive Vs Mid-Drive:
- Mid Drives feel like you are riding a bicycle, but you are Superman!
- Mid Drives need to be shifted, like a bicycle.
- Hub Drives do not stress your chain.
- Hub Drives sometimes offer regenerative braking.
- Hub Drives are weighted more to the rear, so they handle different.
- Hub Drives feel like you are on a (possible underpowered) motorbike.
