I'm an engineering student, and I've heard of KISS! OK, I prefer Motley Crue if I'm honest with you, but they weren't bad

OP, I'm liking the idea of making a custom hub that bolts onto the motor. As others have said, lacing wheels (not "tyres") really isn't complicated, the usual way I prove that is by saying that I learnt to do it aged 14 or 15, using nothing more than Sheldon Brown's wheelbuilding article. Not sounding my own horn there, I freely admit to being a clumsy ass. I'm showing how damn easy it actually is.
