Edit
This fork and frame could equally be cut up and mount a 148mm hub from qs motor to make a sweet 4kw drift trike, torque arm will have to be added to the fork but it's beefy enough to take it got the option of mounting from a 20 to 26 inch rim and shortening the leg if needed while incorporating the torque arm with stainless to alu bolted joint simular to the drawing below.
After doing some research on the differing standards for mountain bikes and stunt/dirt scooters I've come to conclusion that a solid front end could be made from combining the best of the two to make a custom fork from easily obtainable parts to mount a dualtron hub.
Handlebars:- SCS oversize cromoly/titanium
Clamp:- scs 8mm clamp bolts 7075 alu
Headtube:- Salvage a tapered headtube with internal bearing cups from an aluminium mountain bike and the matching headset
Fork:- Fatbike aluminium 150mm dropout tapered steerer fork that needs to be shortened, blocks welded to the bottom to form a dropout clamp to hold the hub, A stainless sandwich plate will bolt to the bottom of the dropout to hold the hub axle and spread the load preventing the hub digging into the alu overtime + weld a disc mount back on.
That's it you have a front end that's got some beef combined with the rear hub and 20s Lipo you could easily get 70mph.
