Spaceballs is better than star wars

No! I see no problems other than a little more weight to the bike, stay small when picking a front hub motor, heavy front hubs make steering a bit odd feeling . Also in limited traction conditions you have the added option of all wheel drive.

Two entirely different types of movies... for sure.
BOTH movies fall firmly in my "MUST WATCH" category.
BTW - Andor is the best Star Wars since the early 1980's...

Spaceballs is totally lame in comparison to the earlier movies of Mel Brooks, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein.
The biggest issue I have with front drive on a bicycle is the issues that arise from a loss of front traction. It rarely ends well in braking, and I suspect it could make for a "fun" time if it managed to slip during acceleration too. No traction - no steering.

Front wheel drive hub Motors usually add at least 10 lb for the front end and they don't come on so hard that they would break traction on a good surface even to the point of a Sandy surface but if you were in snow or ice or slick mud I assume it would be different I haven't ridden into those situations yet.

Agreed. I love blazing saddles, and I watched the history of the world the other day and it was awesome. They have a series of the history of the world on Hulu with mel brooks, I don't know if it is good though.
