No shit, they actually bent out the rear swingarm to fit 165mm? They should build a wider arm later, and send it to you for nothing, or maybe just the shipping cost. Or did you bend it?

How wide is the main frame where your knees cross?

what are you going to use for rear shock? I recommend going with a 10.5"
If you plan to off-road this bike any I would recommend getting the pro-wheel 19" dirt bike rim and dirt bike tire. Really the only way you will be able to use a knobby tire that will last more than 800 miles.

I didn't bent the swing arm. The dimples are at the exact same spot on the opposite side. Kinda mess up on their part right.
The build looks like it will be fun. This thing has so much more space for batteries compared to my EVG bike. That EVG bike is due for a rebuild, as it's acting up a bit. Lyen send out the 18fet controller yesterday, but I used my old address by accident, so I'll have fun tracking it down.
I wonder how well a sensorless controller can push the Cromotor. I will need to buy a bunch of jst connectors for the two CA V3 that I purchased too.

Mine came this way too, I also have the 165mm swing arm however, I was not sure about the reason until I put the cranks on and pedals if those dimples where not on the swing arm at least in my set up using an 89mm Bottom bracket and crank it barely clears it if it wasn't for the dimples my pedals would hit the swing arm. In other words if they weren't there I would have had to go to a 100mm BB and 100mm crankset and that would narrow your choices quite a bit. So in my case I am glad they are there. My 2 cents and thoughts. I don't know if its on purpose or from bend but I don't think bending it 5mm in each arm would cause the dimple.

Everything is steel, the body is 160mm wide. It was intended I believe to fit 150mm lipo batteries sideways to really stack them inside the case.

You can pedal at 45mph with perfect cadence. You can actually get a workout on a 20mph+ e-bike

I didn't see them having a 83mm bb fit. I did send Haberstock Mobility GmbH. an email asking if there is one that will work for me. Waiting on an answer.
Good news is that I did finally receive my 18Fet Lyen controller. Bad news is that the mounting holes in the bottom frame don't match up. So some drilling will be required .
