What is Motor position?
In short
Whether the motor sits in the wheel hub or low in the frame, which changes weight distribution and ride feel.
A hub motor is built into the wheel hub, which keeps the frame simple but unloads a wheel on steep climbs. A mid motor sits low in the frame, spreading the weight and feeling more natural under power. A DECE OASIS, ACTBEST EBike, ANCHEER and aniioki all mount the motor in the hub, while Apexwill Ebike mounts it in the middle of the frame. On a hilly route, that difference shows up on every restart.
