Why does Urban Mover use Brushless Motors on all of its bikes?
Urban Mover uses only the best and most technically advanced components in all their bikes. This is why we only use brushless maintenance free motors on all our bikes. The main differences between brushed motors and brushless motors are as follows: Brushed Motors – Most electric bikes currently use the lower cost, high maintenance brushed motors, which use carbon brushes to make contact with the rotor of the motor. This results in constant contact and friction inside the motor and produces fine carbon particles within the workings of the motor that slowly reduces its efficiency and effectiveness as its life increases. The carbon brushes consequently need to be changed by a dealer at fixed mileage intervals. The net result of using brushed motors is that the range of the battery reduces as the motor deteriorates and they have to have replacement brushes at regular intervals. Because brushed motors are less efficient than brushless motors, bikes using this old technology generally need b
