For some reason I cannot attach any pictures, but we have been riding ebikes for over a year now. I take several rides a week of over 25miles on single track mountain trails a fire roads where I climb and descend thousands of feet. Our eMTBs are homemade from components I bought from Luna Cycle and the bikes are fat bikes from Bikes Direct.
Anyone who thinks these are clown bikes for lazy people is welcome to try and keep up on a two hour ride, I'll provide the bike! BTW, they won't move unless you pedal: these are not electric motorcycles although they look like it. They are CA legal Class 1 ebikes. They are light enough to travel inside our fiver and have enough range to pull a trailer full of 95lb dog for dozens of miles on hard sand or on the pavement.
Those Sondors are great for the street, if a bit underpowered, but no hub motor is really suited for off-roading or for extreme hilly riding. For that you need a mid-drive that replaces the crank with an electric motor allowing use of all the rear gears like we have.
Our eMTBs have BBSHD motors with a 52v 20ah battery in one and a pair of 52v packs in the other: one 13.5ah and the other11.5ah. The bikes started out as $399 Gravity Deadeye Monster fattys, but I have since upgraded many parts.
