so i have a cyclone 3000w mid drive and recently i snapped a chain and it bent the chain ring. instead of using the bulky solid black one that comes with the cyclone kit. is it possible to just build my own with some new chain rings and freewheel? in my head id do 36t motor ring then my main ring for peddles would be 30t. it sounds doable but im not 100% on this.

parts:

36t 5 hole cassette

30t cassette

5 hole to 4 hole spacer

5 hole freewheel

then the free wheel id just use the stock one if i can pull it off the cassette worst case is i buy one iv then them range from 10-100$
 
I have thought about this, I do not think its possible because the gears need to be stiff steel otherwise the aluminum gears will flex.
I am not sure one bit on this.
The aluminum gears will wear out quicker to.
