Mid engine are good for off-road but they wear out chains, sprockets just as a push bike would. I d go for direct rear wheel drive bub kit 36v 250w from China it cost about £140. Then I'd buy a 52v 19ah battery and squirt that through it, it'll increase its performance by 40%... Just check the...

As long as it's 250w it's UK legal. FWD can feel a bit steering heavy but soon get used to it, it's simpler to fit. I do prefer RWD (like the white Peugeot posted a few pictures ago, that's my more recent build). You can play tunes on the power eg over-volt from 36v to 48v (check your controller...
