I'm now ready to order the outrider kit and custom spokes from ebikes.ca. I'll try lacing it myself, 2 cross pattern.
Cross-2 lacing is usually too oblique for a hub motor (spokes approach the rim at an angle the nipples can't tilt over to match). Some rims are more restrictive than others in this regard. I built a wheel for my wife that used a 700c rim and a Rohloff hub (which is smaller than a hub motor) with cross-2 lacing, and it occasionally breaks spokes at the threads because they don't exactly line up with the nipples.
Cross-1 is plenty for any hub motor I have ever seen. Sometimes even that is too much.
