My Wife.. bless her heart, knew I was in the market for an ebike. Long story short she bought me... Please see attachment . Is it possible for me to upgrade the motor. If so, how. I know how you feel about rear hubs and I agree lol. But this is a gift and don't want overhaul. Just want more power.
Thanks for your help.
I'm still converting my Schwinn bike to a mid drive soon as I originally planned.

Thanks so much!! With all the research I've been doing I think I have seen this on ebay, amazon, etc.. Im looking for a small controller like I currently use (stock) so that it fits exactly like the stock one. I've seen a few but do you have any recommendations? Have not seen a kit that comes with a small controller or maybe I just can't tell..
Thanks so much for your time and advice 😊
Buy entire new rear wheel with 1000W motor and new controller for that 1000W 48V motor! Better yet buy an ebike Conversion Kit 48V 1000W Rear Motor Wheel which is widely available in ebay - Search for: ebike Conversion Kit 48V 1000W 1500W Rear Motor Wheel 26" 27.5" 28" 29in 700C | eBay
Easy way would be upgrade the controller to handle more power. It would put more strain on the motor, which was not designed to handle that much power, but probably could in short bursts no problem. Or you could try to find the same physical size motor but just one rated for a higher wattage and you can just take the guts out and swap them with a higher rated power ones. If that makes any sense.
