The Lil’Buddy EDGE is powered by a rear-hub drive by BAFANG. A hub drive motor is located inside the wheel hub. Hub motors are known for their simplicity and lower cost compared to mid-drive motors. They work well with derailleurs, though they may be less responsive than mid-drive motors.

With the Lil’Buddy PERFORMANCE we offer the popular mid-drive solution by BOSCH. A mid-drive motor is located in the bottom bracket area. These motors are known for their consistent power delivery and natural pedaling feel but come with increased complexity and cost.
