EDGE & PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

Wondering what the difference is between our new EDGE series and the PERFORMANCE series? We are able to help you make your decision.

RUFF CYCLES Lil’Buddy Hub-Drive Bafang
RUFF CYCLES Bafang Logo

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.

PRO:

  • Provide more assistance regarding the sping
  • Maintenance and replacement is easier
  • Better on flat terrains
  • Hub motor is more efficient at it's optimum speed
RUFF CYCLES Lil’Buddy Bosch Drive

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.

PRO:

  • Uses torque sensor, when you pedal harder you get more assitance
  • More consistent pedaling with a quicker assist response
  • More efficient pedaling as cranks are attached directly to the motor
  • In general mid-drive motors are more quiet than hub-drive mototrs
