Endless Sphere

He's not looking to drive through the IGH gears, he wants to drive the shell.

Personally I'd just get a different frame with v-brakes and bolt a sprocket directly to where the disc would go. A 135mm rear doesn't offer much room.

I'm fortunate in that I was very physically active before injury then under the care of a physiotherapist right away before and after surgery. Some motions still aren't great but strength I'd coming back enough to be windsurfing and motorcycling. It just tires and gets inflamed easily, but low carb ...

Does it have to be an IGH and could you perhaps spread the drop outs?

By the time you've done any of that you simply could have bought a 4.8kw Cyclone and controller. The batteries will cost the most anyways.

How much machining on the hub itself? Can you share a picture of the adapter?

That's the one, similar overall length but less diameter to the Cyclone with its included gearbox.

It should perform well with a 12:1 or so reduction.

Specifics of the adapter used would be greatly appreciated. I have a similar idea in mind for a 150mm drop out bike, but not reinventing the wheel is much easier.

Details?

I'd take a look at the QS1000 mid drive motor. It's 110mm OD but you can likely mount it ahead of the bottom bracket. Then run a first stage reduction to the left side crank before a second stage to the rear. For a commuter possibly run regen instead of a rear brake and just bolt a sprocket directly...

I perform better endurance activities on a fast but admittedly limiting food (especially carbs) does impact my lifting. The problem is that I just don't cut weight very easily and tend to add it in the belly. I'm willing to accept a slower muscle growth in return for keeping it lean. I'm also still ...

So what are the disadvantages or issues implementing this tech into smaller vehicles?

So it's not simply a question of scaling the holder?

I try to fast at least 14 hours preferably 18-20. Usually I quit eating around 830pm then start again after the gym at 1230-1pm.
I'm at a stable weight but trying really hard to increase muscle mass without gaining weight.

I'd love to see this scaled up to 26xxx series cells since there are a few offering excellent wh/$ these days. Plus many less connections to make.

I LOVED flavored coffee creamer. Now it's a few drops of flavored stevia and maybe a tablespoon of heavy cream. Pushes all the right buttons with no impact on blood sugar so I can have it while fasting. Unfortunately heavy cream breaks a fast, physiologically.. cuz calories. When doing intermittent...

Looks like the tensioner might not fit, so may need to use a fixed one with precise chain length.

Foppel:

Do you think the short motor mount will work with a chain primary or just the gear setup?

I JUST had an idea.

Use a hub with centerlock disc, then run a 6 bolt adapter and use an off the shelf 6 bolt sprocket on the back side.
May require some spacers but those are easily found.

I wonder if Evox would sell us hubs? That's an off the shelf option.

If you had a larger enough rotor the caliper could run on the inside.

I still think that's not a good idea however since a steel sprocket that size would add a lot of weight.

Who makes the VESC?

I should note in taking sustained 3kw, burst capability about twice that and 72v.

I was thinking about you offering a turn-key tuned controller for an off the shelf motor. Rather than focusing on a supply line that requires rebuilding surplus motors.

When I built my new motor mounts I sized them exactly to be tight with a 410 sized chain. I've heard half links can't take as much power.
