Surley Moonlander Mid drive

[lonespin]

I just got a Surley Moonlander and want to know what would be the best mid drive to install on it?
Which one will fit best and easiest to install.

I guess It’s not been done.Can’t see how anything would fit on the BB.

The wide version (83-120mm) of the Bafang BBSHD should fit the Moonlander. At least I don't see why it wouldn't.

That’s awesome ,thanks.I was thinking about buying a Cube Fat-e but I already have this Surley,so I wanted to save 4 grand.

the only thing that makes me pause are the bafang crank arms,yicks!

 

[Chalo]

They're just crank arms. What about them don't you dig?

You can replace them with any unicycle cranks made to fit a square taper spindle. Or with a normal left crank and a tandem front right crank.

I had squared cranks on my first Canadian tire polish racer,haha,could never keep them tight ,ca clunk ca clunk,had them on a few of my muni’s too,just saying this setup is over 2 grand before shipping ,would be nice to know for certain if it’ll bolt onto the Surly moonlander.

Square taper cranks have to be installed very tightly, or else they work loose. Once loosened, they're damaged and are unlikely to stay tight ever again.

Looking at the Cyclone 3000 watt kit they'll have an Isis spindle crank arms in the next month or so more humph more pressure
