I can believe the drive was too big. I was more asking your opinion on the height of the battery compartment compared to the narrow section where your sprockets are attached. Would that step be tall enough for a chain to run through? Is there important stuff behind there like bracing that would need to be cut out?
Wasn't trying to critique your approach to the build, more trying to take advantage of all the measuring work you probably did before taking a grinder to that new frame.
I've been eyeballing the frame options on the market thinking of a someday build. Ideally I would like to mount my 5"dia 70kv motor inside an ebike specific frame (FUTR beta,vector,raptor) and use the swingarm pivot as the shaft for first reduction stage. I've watched with much admiration as you engineer around the chain growth issues on your suspension builds. The thought of dropping and tangling a non-freewheeling LH drive chain scares the hell out of me so using the swingarm pivot to eliminate that would be ideal.
