Yeah, really well. Both of them work great and require zero maintainence.

I guess people want to go faster than 30. I dunno.

Goldenmotor makes great stuff at a great price. You will pay for the shipping -

Unlike HT motors, these are quality pieces.

Have fun!

You could use a golden motor mid-drive through your derailleur if you wanted to get a higher top speed from an economical motor. The top speed comes from higher final voltage after accelerating, not as big of a deal with Lithium that doesn't sag much, but the gear splits will help to eek out a couple more mph.
