I have the same question. I’m thinking that with the long chain a mid drive might be more trouble than it’s worth. IMO a hub drive would Easier and more trouble free. I’d like JohnnyNerdOut opinion tho cuz I’m definitely not an expert. The e-trikes I’ve seen only have peddle assist. No throttle. That might be a little less troublesome with the long chain. I have not seen any commercial bent e-Bikes .. trikes yes, bikes no. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will answer this question.
