The design of the motor being located in the crankcase makes total sense and performs amazingly! Unlike the traditional hub motor you won't have to worry if you get a flat tire or need derailleur adjustments because it is like any other bicycle that way. I-GO Direct-Drive in the crankcase produces more torque than other electric bikes.
The I-GO Direct-Drive system is located in the center of the bikes balance, in the crank. Since the system drives the chain and not the wheel like on other ebikes, the power transfer from the chosen derailleurs speed, provides seamless hill climbing power to the rear wheel. In simple terms, the I-GO motor drive system powers the bikes the same way a human powers a bike, by the chain. So the derailleur effects the power of the bike the same way a conventional bike is powered. The principal advantage of Direct-Drive stems from the motor/worm drive combination, which delivers more power and demands less battery power.
This is the Titan which is the full suspension Mountain Bike.
This is the tour, a traditional design that is ready to take the long trips.
