The suitable type of motor for your electric bicycle depends on your personal preference. The two most common electric bicycle motors are described below.
Mid-engine electric bicycle
An electric bicycle with a mid-engine is considered by many to be a very nice option. Because the motor is located in the middle of the frame, the electric bicycle has a stable road holding and cycling feels very natural. A mid-motor electric bicycle uses a pedal force sensor. When you put a lot of force on the pedals, the motor will also provide more support. If you are cruising slowly and need less support, the mid-engine will adjust accordingly.

Electric bike with front wheel motor
A front-wheel motor electric bicycle brings a different riding experience; you are, as it were, pulled forward. The front-wheel motor is usually more suitable for people who need extra support when accelerating, such as people with joint problems. Front wheel motors are driven by a rotation sensor. This means that the support starts, with a slight delay, when you start pedaling and does not take into account the force you exert.
