Being 76, I use an UTV, but I am considering an electric scooter, that I have seen in Bestbuy. The wheels look too small for me though. I'm a predator hunter and thought the electric scooter would be good.

There is no doubt that mid drive motors are more efficient in terms of battery use and that's due to torque delivery.
But my bike has 2 wheel drive and two 750 watt motors for a good reason - TORQUE TO THE GROUND. So uphills are absolutely no problem.
Perhaps a combination of front hub motor and mid motor to the rear, preferably via belt drive, is something someone will produce. That will give better battery life. Also there is the fact that there are more efficient electric hub motors than Bafang. The best I know of (barring some new European motor) are the GRIN Technology motors. Excellent stators and rotors using the very best neodymium rare earth magnets, larger stator/rotor size, etc., etc. GRN is in Vancouver, Canada. It's a small company that is growing rapidly and always researching, never living off their past reputation, as some companies do when their creativity stalls.
