>>1074635>Also as an unpopular opinion, I think a front wheel hub motor (pedal assist) could be pretty nice for riding in the snow and mud.No. Wheel slip and spin is not something you want more of on the front wheel. If there is not enough traction for rear wheel assist to be effective, the only thing front wheel drive is gonna give you is a nice dentist bill.
NB The front wheel is under significantly less load than the rear wheel, and therefore has significantly less traction. This also means that 2WD a patently moronic idea, as slip is already a thing with rear wheel drive. Imagine if that wet, muddy, uphill, mid-downstroke rear slip wasn't limited to your rear wheel. Instant face plant.
