I have a single speed road bike which would be great for a hub motor. But, there is a catch:
- it has a carbon front fork
- It has a 120mm (horizontal) rear drop out.
It would be perfect for me if I could put a small motor in the rear, but most rear motors are 135mm wide. Now the BMS web page shows the technical diagram of the cute Q100 in single speed configuration (120mm width, accepts single speed cog/freewheel) that is perfect for what I need. I just can't find anyone who sells it. Anyone else find a 120mm single speed rear motor?
The other alternative is purchasing a new fork that doesn't match too well and putting a motor on the front, but I would love the stealth look (and ridability) of a Q100 in the rear of a single speed (where it just looks like a not electric geared hub).
