I looked into that a while back and couldn't find any of the common providers making hubs for thru axles. Not to say they don't exist but if they do they are hen's teeth and probably $$. One thing to consider with your bike... the way the down tube is arranged there is a ton of room inside the triangle and the CYC pro and I believe also the new Stealth have a mounting option that puts the motor above the down tube. That would provide the ultimate clearance and keep the motor out of the dirt and mud spray. I am still waiting to see more Stealths in the hands of users but the Pro is a solid bit of gear so I expect they will be fine. I may be converting a ti gravel bike in the future and the Stealth will be in the running for sure... although not so much because of the extra clearance since that is not an issue for a gravel bike.
I am itching to take my Stumpy out to one of our rocky trails but even with added straps I am still not thrilled with the battery mounting for that kind of riding. Usually I need the big battery because I ride to and from the trails... but I may get one of those smaller rectangle batteries and a bag to use when I drive to the trail head and just bash around the trails.
