The hub motor and rear wheel assembly for the Ninebot ZING E10 eKickScooter features a potent 150-watt electric brushless hub motor encircled by a 6" x 1.5" flat-free rubber tire. The tire uses a low-siped (aka shallow-groove) street tread that is as good on the grass as it is out on the pavement.
The hub motor/wheel assembly is an old idea that is enjoying a new renaissance of popularity. Without a separate rim or other superfluous parts, these hub motor/drive wheel units allow lightweight power in a small package. Combined with 21st century Lithium battery technology, the hub motor system has revolutionized the realm of electric scooters.
