Securing hub motor with locking wheel nuts

[madnomad]

Hi guys, I'm looking into making my hub motor secure with locking wheel nuts, and I've been looking at these:

Does anyone know the thread size of the nut for the axle on the BMC motor so I can ask this company if they sell what I'm looking for?
Cheers.

Have I asked in the wrong section or something?

No, but here's my 2 cents. They will never steal just your hubmotor wheel. They will steal the whole bike.

Those won't come in 14 mm. But if you really want to use a somewhat difficult to unbolt nut on your hubmotor, look at lug nuts for cars. Those do come in 14mm.

BTW, if you have some good torque plates or torque arms on your motor, it turns it into quite a process to get all that off, to remove the wheel. Like I said, they will take the whole bike.

If you want to secure your other non hub wheel, then the locking nut you showed in the link is a great idea. They will take just your front wheel, or just your saddle.

I know, its mainly the other bits I'm worried about. The saddle, front wheel, battery and cycle analyst mainly. Was thinking if I'm getting a set to secure the saddle, head stem (cycle analyst) and front wheel, then it would be nice to be able to secure the hub motor with the same key, but I think its unlikely to be possible. Anyway, 14mm, thanks for your help.

Might be 12mm on your motor. I wasn't sure about your axle size. 14mm is common for direct drive motors though.

Just take your hub nut into a hardware store, to find out what size and pitch your nut is. Then buy that size and thread pitch at the car parts place.

I have made some typical torque arm looking things from 2mm stainless. They are just axle retainers, and will be fixed using security fastenings. That might be a much lighter approach.
