Upgrade or replace your electric scooter or compact folding e-bike powertrain with the 12-Inch Brushless Gearless Rear Wheel Hub Motor. Available in 36V 350W (speeds up to 30 km/h) and high-output 48V 500W (speeds up to 35–40 km/h) configurations, this solid cast-alloy hub motor delivers energetic acceleration, whisper-quiet operation, and reliable hill-climbing power for daily urban commuting.
Engineered with a robust one-piece cast aluminum alloy wheel (no spokes to loosen, bend, or true), standard 125 mm rear dropout spacing, and an integrated 6-bolt disc brake mounting flange, this motor is a direct bolt-on upgrade for seated mini electric scooters, folding bicycles, and custom DIY micro-mobility builds. Choose between the complete wheel with pre-installed pneumatic tire or the bare motor wheel to transfer your existing rubber.
