I&#8217;m guessing should have a little more power than the front wheel,<br \/>\nor should it be eventually an equally balanced between the front and the back wheel ?

I don&#8217;t know if I want get the entire front and back conversion kit at this time, unless it  would be a bit cheaper and easier<br \/>\nto buy the front and the back as a whole set with the parts, as I can always leave the back wheel mechanism in my closet for a time and just install the front hub motor.<\/p>\n<p>You say most of your hub motors are fairly rain proof but not exactly mud puddle proof ?
