For sale Lightning Rods mid drive kit. Primary reduction belt. The kit is not designed for pedaling.
Originally provided cranks replaced with locally bought cranks, as the large wheel was wobbling way too much. Original cranks will be provided with the motor.
Motor cable is shortened to 40 cm.
Now the motor is set to be used with 82mm BB. The width can be reduced to 68/73 mm.
Whole kit is fully functional, but has some marks. I have been using the motor up to 2.3kW. The motor can handle way more 😀.
Additionally will include unused freewheel bought with the kit and one used found in the garage.
Some mechanical knowledge is needed to install and maintain the motor i.e. belt tension adjustment…


Asking 300 Eur + shipping. Located in Lithuania.

Would you be able to share a link for those crank arms? I'm not happy with the wobble from the stock ones
 
I don't know which cranks those are but I've been very happy with the Jitsie cranks I put on mine, you just need a set of ISIS splined trials freewheel cranks. What I liked about the Jitsie ones is you can get them in a shorter length. I think they wobbled less than the originals but still slightly which may be the drive pulley or freewheel. I don't think most of these cranks are perfectly true because they are forged and you never notice with just a chain.

Sorry, can’t recall the shop name.
Just search for higher quality ISIS freewheel set and you should be fine.
Just an example:
 
I bought both the Crewkerz and the Jitsie ones, but unfortunately with barely any difference from the stock ones. I believe the problem is in the spindle: bad tolerances at the ISIS interface. Anyone that have had the same issue and sorted it out somehow? I might just try getting a new spindle and see if its better
