Chainstays are 500mm
[*] If you don't mind could you repost the first image (bike geometry) in your opening post again in higher resolution?
I've sent you a PM
Is there anything you would change about the frame if you could start from scratch, would you for example stiffen up any part of the frame given the high torque motor?
Stiffness:
Titanium is not very stiff. It is strong and quite flexible wich gives you a lot of comfort on the bike.
Imho it's a good choice for a fun fatbike.
The motor mount is a bit overkill. It's very beefy and I think they could made it less thick and save some more weight there.
Size:
My old fatbike had a medium frame 17" and always felt a bit too small.
So I went for a large frame. But this one is a bit too big. I would go for a 470-480mm frame next time.
Chainstays:
I would go for a shorter chainstay, I think they could make it another 2 or 3 cm shorter without tire clearance problems.
This would probably make the handling a bit more agile.
Also a standard chain doesn't fit the bike. I always need to add 4 links to a standard chain.
Next build?
Love this bike but a Rohloff hub and a Gates belt would make this even better.
Or a full suspension Fatbike frame....
What is the total weight of the bike with the battery and motor (48V 14Ah?), around 23 Kg?
Without battery the bike weighs 17kg!
