Bafang/8fun SWXU Reverse Freewheel

[sobriety22]

For a project I have I am modifying two 36V250W 8fun SWXU front hub motors for use on a wheelchair as two driven wheels on either side. The problem however is that although the direction of the DC motor can be reversed, the one-way roller-clutch freewheel inside the motor cannot be easily reversed.

GreenBikeKit sell a replacement clutch but from my inquiries they have told me they do not sell ones which spin in the opposite direction http://www.greenbikekit.com/bafang-bldc-hub-motor-clutches.html.

Does anyone know of any suppliers who sell a reverse direction freewheel for the SWXU? Or a simple method to reverse the direction of the freewheel action? Cheers

There's a German guy that used to sell them. He might have one left over. You can contact him through the Pedelecs forum. His name there is Mechaniker
