Got a Q100 kit for my wife's beach cruiser.
First problem - rim on motor is much narrower than stock rim which is 1.75. Tires used on cruiser are 2.125. Is this safe on the narrow rim? (no size marking on the Q100 rim).
Also the narrow rim does not allow brake contact before the v brake arms hit the fender. I have adjusted the v brake washers as much as possible.
In addition, the motor appears to be off center in the wheel assembly. Even if I assemble without the fender, it looks like it I will not be able to get the brakes adjusted due to being off center.
Is this narrow rim typical with the Q100 kits?
Can I do anything to get the motor centered?
Thanks for helping out a newbie biker and ebiker
