Looking into Mid-Drives I see that the only option for a freewheel crankset currently available as I write this is the old fashion square taper bb or IS design .
However ...
Many of the bikes available now have , and more in the future will have Direct Mount Cranksets.
Evidently the BMX people are wondering why it has taken the 26 inch through 700c/29er bikes so long , to start using this three piece design since there are advantages.
Since most Good bikes in the future will have the Shimano Hollowtec II 2 piece design or what is looking like more likely , most will have 3 piece design / aka / Direct Mount Cranksets ,
Now is the time to design a freewheeling Crankset using the Direct Mount system.
The two people here in the U.S. who are doing the custom larger mid-drives do not know at this time how to design one, and the other person who is making a mid-drive here has said months ago he is looking into using Direct Mount Cranksets on his mid-drive , SamD ... but he has gone silent for a few months now, so I don't know, I question if he will ever get a Mid-drive available .
So I put forth here now, a Goal of getting the World Wide Members of Endless Sphere to come together and submit their design and Ideas.
With enough of us working on this we can come up with the solution .
