Here are some pictures to show the clearance. Puting washers in on the brake side won't help things.

I upgraded to a 42/34/24 Crankset and a DRIFT MANIAC 7 Speed Freewheel 11-28T. I didn't see any other options availble to me for freewheels. However, the stack height is causing clearance issues. So unless I can find a freewheel with a smaller gear, that is the exact same Stack Height, the old...

I don't understand your comment on replacing the back wheel. It's an Ebike. The motor IS the wheel. I can't just swap out the motor like that, and most Hub Motor's if not all, use a freewheel anyway.

Looks like my best option is to just go with 11T freewheel and the max possible chain ring for my frame. Where do I get a good quality 7 speed 11T freewheel ?

My Goal isn't necessary for speed. I have plenty of that. It's to extend my range, by reducing how much the motor needs to work. Thus using less power. I could go slower of course, but I like getting from A to B quickly vs slowly.

Well I would hope so. The difference from a 75T front cog and a 11-34t back, vs 36T and 14 to whatever ( too lazy to check), is pretty big. I didn't even know a 75T existed. How did u even fit on your bike ?

I guess I should of mentioned the motor is 1,000 watts. I can do about 32 mph, with only throttle. Trying to pedal past 20 mph is fruitless. My legs are going too fast.

What would give me a bigger pedal power increase ? Going from 36T to 42T on the Chainring, or the 11T Freewheel. I could just do both.

To me, the Crankset is everything. The chain rings, and arms. Looks like according to the site, it should support up to 3x: 42T. I don't necessarily need 3x, but I could just use for the larger main chain ring. I would never use the other 2 chain rings.

I'm trying to figure out if I can put on a much larger crankset. I have a Trek Marlin 5 that has a Ebike Kit on it. The current Crankset has 36-22T with this Bottom bracket, which is also combined with the freewheel being 14-34T range. It makes pedal assist rather useless, as you have a higher...

The motor can peak to 1500 watts and I'm pretty sure it's not geared. It's just a Brushless Sealed Hub Motor.

Yeah they definitely cheaped out on bike parts. The forks rusted to the point they siezed up after just over a years use. I've thought about getting better spokes and nipples, and seeing if that helps. It's a 36 hole RIM, so this doesn't give me many options. Here are a couple I did find...

I'm passed the warranty period now. Any problem I have, I have to pay. The only problem I keep having is the spokes keep getting loose every 2-3 months. I'm thinking he doesn't want to help me with turning the bike into something with little more power.

I would like a bigger motor, something like 750 watt to have that little extra power. I just don't know if the motor would work with the display and such. The controller would also have to be replaced, and I don't know if it's the same size or would fit in the frame.

The LCD Screen does provide a temperature reading, and it's only off by 1-2 degrees Celsius. LCD says Motor is 21 and the room temp where the bike is stored is 22.5 - 23 roughly. I've never noticed the Motor @ a very high temperature. If the hill is a hard hill for the bike, I lower the pedal...
