Hello community, I'm new here and probably won't stay very long.
I'm sorry if this question has already been answered but I couldn't find it anywhere else.
I'm doing some research about friction drive ebikes to build one for myself and I saw quite a few cool projects from this forum with very detailed descriptions. Very nice!
I see that many use the outer case of the motor to make contact with the wheel and I'm concerned about it.
I never hold a brushless in my hand but I can see that the rotor is attached only on one side to the shaft. And the shaft is attached on both sides to the stator through bearings.
This doesn't seem very robust to me and since the rotor is being pushed to the wheel I'm concerned it might touch the stator on the inside.
What are you thoughts on this? Am I completely wrong? Are this brushless motor so rigid that are extremely difficult to flex?
Thank you very much
