I ended up ordering a hub motor from qs motors built with a longer axle. I will be going with a 18'' rim instead of the 26''. The tire I will be putting on will add a few inches to the circumference than the tire I was going to use.
Hey Jonno,
Thanks for your testimony. I just picked up that frame also. It has a 177mm dropout but I'm not interested in a fat tire. I want to find a 3000w 72v hub motor in a 26" wheel. Do you have a link for a recommended seller? Also looking for a matching front roller wheel. I've order...
