What is a geared hub motor?

From the name, we can understand that geared hub motors are hub motors with gears. In general, geared hub motors usually use a planetary gear reduction system that attaches the stator to the housing. For each revolution of the housing, the motor inside actually turns many times faster. Because of this operating principle of geared hub motors, it allows the motor to operate at higher and more efficient speeds while still allowing the wheels to spin at a relatively slow drive speed. Geared hub motors are smaller and lighter than other motors, which helps increase range, but the small size also limits their power. Geared hub motors are generally not very powerful, and the gears wear out quickly. Some people have successfully extended the life of the plastic gears within Geared hub motors by replacing one of the three plastic planetary gears with metal gear. But this usually makes the hub motor noisier.
