Are you thinking about using it with the transmission on the right?
I am not 100% sure, but considering how the venting system is done, using it on the right side probably the oil will end up in the "venting labyrint" and accumulate there. My understanding is that the oil will stay in the gearing chamber if it's mounted correctly and will tolerate a large angle of rotation, but 180° will probably cause some problems.

It IS designed for left hand side chain drive for motorcycle conversions. Or did you mean something else?
On the Electro&Co. website everything is listed as "international warehouse". Pretty sure it's just drop-shipping from the manufacturer.hugok said:If you live in US you have these guys: https://www.facebook.com/ElectroBraap
I ordered from China to Sweden, QS138v3 (With gearbox), $430 including shipping but not including vat and tolls.

Only downside being maybe heavier?
john61ct said:OK how about "better" for long steep hills & heavy loads at low speeds. Very slow top speeds.
More mass means slower to overheat in that context?
Or are the magnets a small component of overall mass? When people talk about iron, and "moar copper", how do magnets fit in?
