The stock crank arms for the BBS02 have a really wide q-factor for me, especially on the drive side. It's causing a lot of knee issues when pedaling. Are there any sort of crank arms I can install that are "inset" so that the pedals will be closer to the chain stays? I looked at the lekkie buzz bars but it seems that they do the exact opposite and move the pedals away from the chain stays.
Are there BBS02 "inset" crank arms?

Yeah, that's why i don't have a bbs02 anymore.
I have tibial torsion, which means that one foot points outwards 15 degrees, which means that i have had an abnormal wear pattern on my cartilage since birth. This is due to a naturally twisted shin bone.
Pedaling the bbs02 hurt since day one.
I've noticed that a majority of add on mid drives just put the right pedal out by 10mm, which is enough to potentially create muscle inbalances over time ( if you have bad knees, you likely already have unbalanced leg muscles ). I had my first major episode of patellafemoral syndrome after riding the bbs02 for a month.. and that landed me in physical therapy.
You will need to look at aftermarket cranks. For some reason, most aftermarket cranks i tried had a tendency of coming loose during riding. Something about how the bbs02 drive axle was machined..
Let me know if you find a solution, i'm curious.
