E bike conversion

Hi can anyone help me with any imfomation about Heck motor rear wheel from germany

 

[Pale Rider]

A quick google suggests Heck make a crank drive motor which looks to be original equipment only, although they may make rear hub motors as well.

You will need to provide much more info.

Okay thanks I have been looking at rear hub kit with a option of one sprocket on hub not a cassette I think this is what I need I have single speed Beach cruiser and no fittings for gears in the add it says heck motor I guess this is hub just wondering what heck is and is if any good

I doubt anyone on here is familiar with Heck who appear to sell mostly in Germany.

Hub motors are fairly straightforward so the chances are it's no better or worse than all the rest.

You could consider a front motor which would give you a wider choice of power ratings.

Several makes, but Bafang are among the most popular and their stuff is decent.

A beach cruiser is designed for, er, cruising, so a front hub motor would suit it well.

If there is little information available, steer clear, buy something else.

Bafang BBS02/HD or TSDZ2 are common and cheap.

A big thumbs up from me for TSDZ2. I converted my old and virtually unused mountain bike just over a year ago. Fantastic ! Apart from a problem in the first 100 miles, sorted out under warranty, I've now done over 2500 miles. Puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.

On the other hand my TSDZ2 failed after a year, suspected the Torque sensor but the replacement would not fit Flogged off parts on eBay for not a lot and sort of got my money back by getting a big discount on a proper ebike.

My wife's shopper equipped TSDZ2 is on its 2nd season. Its going strong, touch wood
