Need help replacing hub motor rim

I am probably gonging to my local bike shops talk with them show them all the info I got because I don’t think I can build the wheel on my own so my options are reducing spokes or drilling or using other nippels
 
Thanks any rim suggestions?
Since you stated you are in Bulgaria, I have no idea of what is available to you (and certainly not at what prices) so unfortunately no suggestions.

Why not take this time to improve your build? Most all prebuilt ebikes and pre assembled motor wheels are made with poor quality rims and spokes. At this point you can rebuild with better components.

Bonus:
  • Better reliability
  • Better performance
  • Better riding experience
The best (performance and reliable) spokes for most of us are these: https://ebikes.ca/spcust14.html

My rim cracked and I rebuilt it myself with no previous wheelbuilding experience!

Found a mtx 39 rim for 90 euro with shipping to my address probably going to order it because it’s with the closest measurement and it’s 12g ready
