Geared hub motors are a type of hub motor and an electric motor that is integrated into the wheels of a vehicle and has a gear reduction system.
Geared hub motors do have many advantages, but many people are usually concerned about whether they are very noisy when it comes to hub motors. Electric vehicles with geared hub motors are undoubtedly very quiet compared to their internal combustion engine counterparts. But compared to direct drive motors, geared hub motors are slightly noisier. However, please do not dismiss it because the sound is very small. If you ride a geared hub e-bike with pedal assist in a quiet suburban area or on an isolated road, you may hear this sound, but if you ride on a city road with heavy traffic, you will not hear this noise.
Although this noise does not sound very loud, Lunyee has been studying ways to reduce it, and after a long period of testing and research, a low-noise gear hub motor, 24V 200-300W 8 inch geared hub motor was developed. This motor is designed to reduce the noise of the original geared hub motor, not only by using pure copper enameled wire winding core to reduce vibration, but also by using high-quality bearings to reduce the noise problem as much as possible.
Although geared hub motors are noisy compared to direct-drive motors, viable solutions are also available. Geared hub motors remain a popular choice for electric vehicle electric propulsion because of their higher efficiency, quiet operation and improved performance.
