The 320 watt hub motor and front wheel assembly for the Hover-1 Eagle electric scooter is easy to replace, just loosen the axle nuts and undo the three plug-in connectors. Install the new motor, reattach the wiring, and you're done. This 36 volt hub motor is encircled with a solid urethane 6.5" tire with a shallow groove (aka "low sipe") street tread.
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.
