DriveTrain - Rear Wheel

Here's what we're looking for ....

• A fat car wheel - possibly from a street-rod
• Spoked wheel - matching a car wheel's spokes to the bicycle hubs is going to be interesting
• Space - for the hub motors. If there's one drawback in the Tidalforce motors, it's that they are quite large - compared to other similar hub motors.
• As light as possble - considering it may still be the heaviest single item on the bike.

I can't find the diameter of the hub motors anywhere - but they can apparently be fitted in wheels that are between 20" and 28" in diameter.

For the front wheel, we're gonna spec. a smaller, fatter bicycle wheel ... easy ... for the rear wheel, we're going with a nice fat street-rod wheel.


Something like this wicked wheel from Dayton Wire Wheels ...
