Thinking out loud here, but I’m thinking about electrifying my budget cargo bike, but there’s a reinforcing spine under the BB that I think would interfere with a mid drive.
Given that the sturmey archer hub is already fucked, I’m thinking of replacing the rear wheel with a 26” hub drive. I’d love torque sensing to be built in, but maybe that ain’t gonna happen.
Ideally I’d find a crashed 26” e-MTB and grab the rear wheel, battery and gubbins and do a disc conversion on the rear.
