Many of us are invested in the GNG 450 watt, brushless mid drive kit. Most of us believe mid drive is the future of eBikes. This low cost kit has created quite a stir and proves that a low cost mid drive is possible. However, one common complaint is the Primary belt drive. My own stock kit shows significant belt wear after only 170 miles of use. Overvolting has resulted in belt failures occurring in minutes. I've found many of you have made chain drive modifications with some success and would ask that you share your experiences here. Please include photos.
What method did you use for removing the pulleys?
What sprocket combination did you use?
What size chain did you use (and why), proven quiet and reliable?
What was your solution for the idler?
OR
Did you keep the belt, change to another belt, and/or use adjustable sheets?
AND
How long/many miles, has your modification been tested?
Please provide links and page numbers where you previously provided or saw this information.
